How Omotola Jalade was Forced into Early Marriage

The popular actress now known all over Africa has an
inspiring story to tell all today but her story was never
the same many years ago.
When her father, the sole provider forthe family, Mr
Shola Jolade died, things was so bad for Omotola and
her younger ones that they once went begging with
their mother in a neighbour’s house.

At that point, good meal became a luxury for her family.
Given this circumstance plus her stunning looks and
curvaceous physique, people thought she would end up
as a prostitute.
Truth be said, this reportedly played a part in her getting
married early at 18.
Insiders alleged that she chose early marriage instead of
prostituting like most women in her situation would do.
Omotola who married for love in 1996 is now an
accomplished actress, a wife and a mother with several
movies to her credit.

Her husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde once said he met
her a virgin.
Because of her humble beginning and her husband’s
impact in her life and career, the actress has managed to
put her marriage together all this while.
She is one of the top scandal-free actresses in
Nollywood today.
