actress, entrepreneur and mother, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde is a stunner and still
one of the major household names in Nollywood.
In an
interview with New Telegraph, the ex-model made it known that she has never
been attracted to any man other than her husband. She also made known her wish
to have Buhari scrap NYSC.
Read excerpts
below:
Have you ever been attracted to any
man apart from your husband?
No! I’ve
never been attracted to any man other than my husband. My husband is sweet;
he’s very cute, handsome and attractive. He’s the one man I have always been
attracted to all my life.
What do you have for those who have
been wishing that your marriage had hit the rocks a long time ago?
They should
keep wishing. That’s all I have to say.
Three things you cherish about your
husband.
Oh my hero,
my pillar of support, my ever cute captain. I admire and respect him for his
calmness, dignity and his love and fear for God. So much I cherish about him,
he’s one in a million.
Do you still wash your husband’s
clothes and cook for him?
Well, he’s
sitting next to me (pointing at her husband). Maybe, you should ask him.
What advice do you have for President
Muhammadu Buhari?
He should
scrap NYSC. It’s not useful, he should please do that for Nigerians. Our children
don’t need it anymore.
Why do you want NYSC scrapped, knowing
fully well it’s a national orientation programme?
I have looked
at the programme thoroughly and exactly what it’s supposed to have achieved
over the years. Believe me, there is no credible or tangible result. It’s a
total waste of time and resources and I think all the time and resources should
be channelled into something more resourceful.
For instance,
I have had situations where some members of my staff, in the name of NYSC, left
for a year only to come back and their spaces had been taken by another. You
can imagine. NYSC is not just adding any value to our society or even to the
lives of our children. I am of the opinion that it should be scrapped.
So what other useful and relevant
programmes do you suggest?
Skills
acquisition. We have had situations whereby the young ones, after graduation,
are with no jobs. They start roaming the streets or even go into crime to
survive. This is an urgent situation that needs to be addressed.
Let us make
good plans for our children, instead of going to waste a whole year of their
struggle, claiming they are serving their fatherland. They should be trained
and equipped with skills. That way, their future is secure.
If you were offered a ticket to
contest for the seat of a governor in your state and it’s confirmed you will
win, would you consider the offer?
I won’t
accept the offer; but maybe, if it’s in Lagos, I will accept the offer.
The popular
Nollywood actress revealed recently why she has no friend in Nollywood.
Why not in your state? don't make sense
