latest issue.
She talks about a lot of things and how she became a born again
Christian at the tender age of 15.
Read excerpts from her interview below: -
On her dreams in Nollywood:
We were coming from a place where it was disgraceful to be an actor.
My first plan was to earn money to help my brothers. When I achieved
that, my dream was to make this job a success so much that people
would respect me and I would be proud of myself. It was just to earn
the respect of Nigerians.
On people seeing her as headstrong and arrogant:
I realized I was different and it made me a target. A long time ago,
when it was not popular to do so, I demanded that they pack my food on
set. And they said I was proud. I tried to fit in, in the past, but
after a while I feel I don't have to be apologetic. I asked, 'Why am I
too fast?' God told me, if that is how I made you, then don't
apologise for it. I have always demanded high standards, I have
realized that I have the grace and energy to do it. But people do not
understand the whole purpose until I am done.
On her husband:
I am favoured. He trusts my decisions. He knows I am not irresponsible
even if I say so myself. I consider every decision carefully. He may
have reservations but that is human, and that is not going to be a
deal breaker.
On infidelity:
Men cheat for different reasons and women cheat for different reasons.
For women, it usually happens when the spouse does not show care and
love. It is not really the money. I don't lack care; how much can you
possibly give me more than what I already have? Also, you have to
think about what you are going to lose; your home, respect and
integrity. When a woman cheats, then she really wants to cheat and it
will be quite difficult to catch her at it because women are good
planners.
On her religious beliefs:
I gave my life to Christ when I was 15 years and I used to preach
inside 'molue'. It is important that you find Christ and find him
early. It is for your good. The fact that I found Christ early helped
me to be focused. I always rely on God for direction (even when I
wanted to get married), I just have to find peace with it and then go
for it. I really did not indulge in those things that could have
exposed me because I wasn't interested. I don't like clubbing. Even
when I was single, you would have to pay me to go clubbing.
On her music career:
I finished my second album since 2010 but it is not yet out contrary
to insinuations. I am not trying to be a Tiwa Savage. My career is
like a Barbara Streisand kind of career. I said I would bring out an
album every five years. The next step for me is to have my own
entertainment place where you can listen to my music, watch my movies
and experience everything about Omotola.
On the next 20 years:
In the next 20 years, I am hoping that I will be alive and God will
grant me good health. I hope to be a sexy grandmother as well.
