The popular actress now known all over Africa has an inspiring story to tell all today but her story was never the same many years ago.
When her father, the sole provider forthe family, Mr Shola Jolade died, things was so bad for Omotola and her younger ones that they once went begging with their mother in a neighbour’s house.
At that point, good meal became a luxury for her family.
Given this circumstance plus her stunning looks and curvaceous physique, people thought she would end up as a prostitute.
Truth be said, this reportedly played a part in her getting married early at 18.
Insiders alleged that she chose early marriage instead of prostituting like most women in her situation would do.
Omotola who married for love in 1996 is now an accomplished actress, a wife and a mother with several movies to her credit.
Her husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde once said he met her a virgin.
Because of her humble beginning and her husband’s impact in her life and career, the actress has managed to put her marriage together all this while.
She is one of the top scandal-free actresses in Nollywood today.
So she married at 18? If she was a Muslim it will be called child marriage, and all sort of bad names.
No disappointment can ever come without attached blessing!Disappointment is PHASE 1……While the BLESSING is PHASE 2!No mortal man or woman can jump this disappointment route to accomplishment,something must BREAK so that you can go through!That shall be our story!
At 18 u can’t call it child marriage cos she isn’t under age, Muslims marry even 12 yrs old girls
at 18, she is already an adult.
18 is not child marriage my bro.
It’s not child marriage, at 18 one is an adult.
Jamil if u like give ur own out at 8yrs can’t u here what she said she is not saying about religion here
How she marry for love when u mentioned that poverty drove her into marriage instead of prostitution to make ends meet?
@Jamil..dis is nt child marriage…its u muslims dat marry under age…18yrs is an adult…okay..
Off course she got married for the sake of money to help her dying family!
18 is Adults not child marriage
Her husband supported her dreams.thatz a real man
Not Every Disappointment But Some Disappoitment.
That’s life. I know at first it’s was difficult for her to love him because she was so young and force into married. But with time loves grows and now she’s so happy with him. Am so proud of her 20 years into marriage that’s great and they are still going strong.
Proud of her
It’s better to marry early than to stay for long n end up in prostitution. Kudos my girl. We build love we don’t steal love.
Would y’all give away your daughter for marriage at the age of 18, if 18 is already an adult???
I like ur comments bro .Some men will fustrate her dreams and make her a full housewife by force,her husband is a real man U0001f44dU0001f3fe
That is why she is still with him. She is rich and beauty.She could have left him for a white bobo like uche Jumbo
Marry cos of money keh? Someone who her dad held a top position at a prestigious Club in Lagos… If you people want to lie, apply conscience.. Haba!
Lilly Patrick no 8 years even lol
A young lady of 18 yrs is legally old enough to make decisions for herself… I personally won’t allow my daughter marry that young because I will need to equip her with all she needs to be independent on her husband which includes education, good job,or vocational training,etc.d topic here is if 18 is child marriage.don’t confuse yourself @ Adewale Abdullahi Ahmed

The editor of this article should sit up!
There is nothing like a husband supporting his wife to achieve her goals nd dream in live,she will remain loyal to him till her death
95% of rich and famous Nigerians today have a humble beginning. So what’s NEWS about this or better still what’s the gossip?
Its not abt education, it’s the kind of man, I know a man that married my church member 6yrs ago, he is educated and promised to send the girl to school and till now the girl is a full house wife, no school and no hand work. Its just luck to see a supportive man these days.
She is one of my best have always liked her
And she is d envy of her peers today
Gossip mill wit stupid stories
