Nigeria: Omotola Jalade - an Icon of Our Time


Omotola Jalade Ekeinde

She came like a silken drape, with innocent smiles that encompasses the earth. Christened Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, some call her Omo Sexy. ANTHONY ADA ABRAHAM takes a look at her journey to fame and her recent naming as TIMES MAGAZINE's one of the most influential personalities on earth.
When she was born to the Shola Jalade family of Lagos on February 7, 1978, little did they know that their daughter would make a mark in the movie industry.
Her innocent countenance and humility is something lots of people and industry watchers have continued to talk about.
She is one of the leading actresses, a singer and a philanthropist.
Though her original career ambition was to work as a business manager, and while awaiting her results from University, she began modelling to earn a living. She has never looked back since she debuted in Nollywood in 1995, staring in over 300 astounding films, selling millions of copies so far.
