Seasoned Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is today, Sunday, August 15, tantalizing her colleagues and followers on Instagram with lovely family photos.
Although their father, Captain Ekeinde was missing in the adorable family photos, Omotola explained why is unavoidably absent.
“Wishing you a Happy Sunday from the Clan… Missing Capt Ekeinde here as man’s out of town on a Mission,” she captioned the photos.
Speaking in a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, the actress said, “One must apply wisdom or common sense in everything one does. People cannot say that because I married at 18, therefore they can also do it. The question is, ‘are you ready for marriage’? When I was 18, I was ready. I had been working since I was 15-year-old and I had become a millionaire at the age of 18. That is a fact that a lot of people don’t know.”
She continued, “I had my own money. I was not dependent on any man. Moreover, my father died early, so I was already responsible for my younger siblings. I was like their mother at that time, so I was very mature and financially prepared.”
“One should not marry a man when one is not financially stable. If one does that, one would be going into slavery or better still, prison. If any of my children, after considering all these factors, say they are ready for marriage, we (parents) would meet the person and if we like them, we would give them our blessings.”
