Veteran actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has opened up on an alleged love affair with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomole.
Speaking with The BBC Yoruba, the mother of 4 said she does not like to attend events and has never met Oshiomole.
According to her, “People do not know that I don’t like to go out. I am either at home or at the office. I only go out on official purposes. I don’t know Adams Oshiomole. I have never met him. End of story.”
While fielding questions about early marriage, Omotola said that it is not advisable for any lady to get married if she does not have a means of livelihood.
Any lady who does that, according to her is automatically preparing herself for imprisonement in the union.
Responding to a question about allowing her children to get married at the age of 18 like she did, the ace actress said that, “I was at the age, the age of consent when I got married and above all, I was mature when I met my husband.
“Currently, I have only 1 child that is 18 years old, so the question is late. He is a boy and peradventure, he says he wants to get married, I will not allow it because he does not have his own money now.
“One must apply wisdom or common sense in everything one does. People cannot say because I married at 18, therefore they can also do it. The question is, are you ready for marriage ?
When I was at that age, I was ready for marriage ? When I was that age, I was ready. I had been working since I was 15-years-old and I had become a millionaire at the age of 18. That is a fact that a lot people don’t know
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 at that age, I was ready. I had been working since I was 15-years-old and I had become a millionaire at the age of 18. That is a fact that a lot of people don’t know.
“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.”
