Veteran actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has stirred social media after revealing that she was once gifted a car while married.
Speaking on Naija FM, she said, “Women have admirers,” she explained. “Me, who is married, I know how many people have gifted me things, women and men. They’ll just see me and say, ‘Omotola, I’m sending you this.’ They’ve gifted me a car before.”
When asked if she returned the car because she was married, Omotola responded bluntly: “No, why would I return the car?”
She credited her husband’s confidence for the smooth handling of such situations, describing him as the most secure human being you can ever meet.
“Think about it, how would you marry an Omosexy if you’re not secure?” she quipped.
Nonetheless, the screen icon dismissed claims that women don’t dominate Nollywood, insisting that women are the true backbone of the industry.
“Women are the ones who hold Nollywood,” she said, stressing that many female actors are not just performers but also business owners, influencers, producers, and entrepreneurs.
According to her, most actresses she knows run multiple businesses alongside their acting careers, with some even maintaining full-time professions.
