Omotola Jalade Ekeinde a.k.a Omosexy is one person who is a go-getter.shes a fulfilled actress,musician, mother of four lovely children and wife to a man she fondly calls'honeyboy'.

The outgone year was a very good one for the sexy actress as 2011 saw her busys taking part in 5 major movie projects-2 at the beginning of the year and 3 towards the last months.She also clinched a few deals,one of which is becoming an Ambassador for Amnesty International.

In a recent interview,the talented actress opens up on how she cope with success, her winning ways,and other issues.

The truth of the matter is that I really don’t make much of it.All I do is to live with it day-by-day.I am aware of it.And I am aware of the responsibility that comes with it.But nothing that I can’t handle.I have been quite lucky.I am careful with the responsibility that comes with it.

But personally as Omotola,I am not someone who is too inclined to pleasing people.

I live my own life.I believe in my convictions.And I believe in what I believe in.And in the long run they always vindicate me.I don’t live my life to please anybody,this is me.My favourite saying is that what you see is what you get.I will never say anything behind you that I cannot say in front of you.That is it for me,really.


Asked,from time to time,we get to read that Omotola and this actress don’t get along.How do you cope with all these rivalry within the industry; I find it very funny so much so that I laugh at it.I understand it.

Its never going to go away,people comparing one actress to another.The length to which people take it is what I find hilarious.It is natural.

In life,people have people they get along with.You may just not get along with your contemporaries.Its the fact of life.

Personally,I am not very close to so many people not because of work or rivalry,but because I am just removed from the every day life they live.

Number one,I live far away.Number two,I didn’t grow up making friends with everybody around me.You have to understand my upbringing for you to understand my life.

I am not that much of a social being.I am boring.I am not a girls girl.I am not a party party person.

Click for Full Image Size

I am not the kind of girl you will call and say oh,there is this new dress,there is this shoe.I usually don’t have those kinds of conversations,really I talk properties.So,when someone is talking about this new Channel Bag,I am thinking about this property I saw somewhere that I want to buy.

So how do we really want to relate,so,there are so many differences.Otherwise,when when we see we have a ball.

Omotola does not have the time to start beefing someone who is my colleague about whether she is better than me or I am better than her.I don’t engage in those issues.

I don’t have best friends.I just have people I like in the industry and who I can say I know.When I am on set I get along with everybody.I am a very chatty person.

Competition in the movie industry it’s a good thing.I love competition.But I only like it when its healthy,when it becomes unhealthy,then I really start to detest it,I loathe it and I run away from it.

I like competition because it allows you grow.Imagine if it was only Omotola that was acting,really,it will be boring.There is the need for a new blood here and there,a new person to jab you here and there.If its healthy,its actually wonderful and it helps everybody to be better.Anybody who does not like competition is evil.Competition when it is healthy creates better service.

Omotola u are an inspiration to many women.I am sure many of u understand why u dnt see her at parties or u dont see her as d fashionista u want her to be well it's because she invests her money on properties not shoes and bags dat will go out of trend or dat depreciates.She doesn't need friends,her life is different,many of dese nollywood women lyk to party and she is not for dat.
This woman is not only beautiful,she is classy and intelligent, just luk at d way she answered those questions.#teamomotola,#OSEXYNATION.Y'll should ff her on twitter @realomosexy,she replies all her fans even haters she replies dem politely.She is not a snub.

ebby omosexy is not as vain or fake as u are she is so real so dat fake nose is urs dummy cant u understand she put on more weight in d other picture and d makeup aswell is a factor itiboribo,i love omosexy she is indeed sexy after four kids and a curvy sexy body it shows how beautiful you are a sexy real woman,ur height aswell makes u stunning not for some curvy short girls dat cant work it,and suffer from short women syndrome. u are d best in nollywood.

You are wonderfully made by God an Epitom of beauty. Each time my husband watch your movie he always comment on your beauty and appearance and i will tell him yes that you are a beautiful woman not just that you beautiful both inside and outside.

Just keep it up, i am proud of you. this is what we called celebrity and not controversial, she live by an example, a mother indeed, a woman of substance, Ruth and Esther of her time, just as the Bible described those women of vessel. my dear you are blessed and continue to remain blessed with your family in Jesus Name, A m e nnnnnnnnn...............Love u.

mynameismyname | 1/24/2012 9:58:21 AM
i read an interview omotola granted a year ago...this same womon claimed she loves fashion, and doesn´t care what the price tag of a dress she likes is. She actually said she saw this dress for 1000 dollars in america, and bought it regardless of the price, cos she liked it...i love omo and all, but she brags too muchhh

Omotola, likes to bragg alot, and for the record, competition is competion, there's nothing like a heathy competion every one is in there to win so next time check before u outer hate. As for u saying who ever that can not stand competion is evil?believe me that's u right there u just can't stand competion cos every word that comes out of ur mouth is not natural , u force words when acting and that's why I don't enjoy watching ur movies cos u stretch to much so be urself and stop being judgmental . Least I forget just cos u lie so much about ur age, u wanna be looked like u r still 16yrs old but then when compared to the rest young u get upset andstart defindining urself, get real Omotola, u are not a young woman, you are as old as Kate Henshaw just like Kate is Proud to say how old she is but u are not, go home to ur Husband and Kids.

Well all has been said and done. Kudos guys. But one thing am not happy about is the fact that someone was condeming Genevieve and even calling her ash*w*. Remember u have no right whatsoever to judge anyone. Besides u don't even know whether it was her fault or Omotola's fault. I am begging lets be mindful of what we say about our fellow. Its important pls.
