Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has revealed how desperation in her early stages of life nearly landed her in prostitution.
The renowned actress narrated her past experiences with her family in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, a Nigerian filmmaker.
In the interview, she disclosed that she had a very good time with her father who always takes her out for fun and for important events.
According to her, she was very desperate to sell her body after the death of her father when she was 12 years old.
“When I was 12, they came to pick me up from school, I knew something was wrong and prayed that nothing had happened to my dad,” Omotola said.
“When I got home, I realized my dad was dead, so going through that mental process, I did not know how to react and I did not know how I was feeling, I was just silent, but now that I am older, I think I really understand everything.
“There’s nothing anyone says to me that can move me, I’m so confident in who I’m, and I don’t fear anyone. I don’t fear for my life, probably I would’ve become a prostitute today.
“I was very desperate to do anything and said I would rather sell my body than for anybody to take my younger brother apart.”
