It's Unfortunate That Nollywood Movies Are Not Reflecting Daughter And Mother Relationships - Omotola Jalade

Nollywood veteran Omotola Jalade Ekeinde is one actress that has remained focused on the movie industry in Nigeria. Recently, the actress has been on a media tour of her about-to-be released movie, Mother’s Love. Omotola has been using the opportunity to advocate for mother and daughter relationship, which she says is not being adequately reflected in Nollywood. 

In an interview with Yanga FM, Omotola gave insights into the film, which explores the complex bonds between mothers and daughters.

Reflecting on the scarcity of stories like hers, Omotola said, “We don’t have too many films that explore or showcase the relationship between mothers and daughters.” She described the subject as one “very dear to my heart,” emphasizing the importance of bringing these stories to the big screen.

The actress also addressed the challenges of promoting films in Nigeria, particularly the expectation for actors to dance on social media.

“Do whatever you can do—it’s exhausting, it’s not natural. For me, the film industry is not supposed to be like that. We are encouraging nonsense if we are doing that. It doesn’t mean that whoever is doing it is wrong. Anybody should be able to do what they can do. It’s your film, you invested money in it, and you know where it’s painful for you,” she explained.

On a personal note, Omotola reflected on motherhood, admitting, “With my first daughter, I’m not going to lie—I didn’t do a good job, because that was the way I understood things. I only understood discipline; I was a disciplinarian, period.”

In another development, Omotola disclosed how her children faced death threats during the EndSARS.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday, the 48-year-old actress said the threats marked a turning point in her long time of advocacy journey, forcing her to rethink how she engages in activism.

“I am used to death threats; I have received them many times,” Omotola said.

“But I have never seen anything like what happened during EndSARS. It was intense, my kids started getting death threats. That was when it became real, and when I realised this was no longer just about me.

“When people started coming to my home and workplace looking for me, I knew it was time to think beyond myself. I had to protect others, especially my children,” she said.

Omotola revealed that the experience ultimately pushed her to shift away from street protests toward more strategic, focused advocacy, citing the increasing difficulty of guaranteeing her children’s safety as they grow older.

“I can’t control where they go. I can’t protect them as much. I don’t care for my life, but I do care for them,” she said.

Shock And Disbelief As Music Artiste, Three Crew Members Found Dead In Ajah Studio

There is confusion in the Ajah area of Lagos state as a popular music artiste, Matthew Ogundele, and three of his crew members have been found dead inside a studio.

The crew members were identified as Itunu Ogundele, Joseph Sanya, and blogger Matthew Awosanya, alias JoesTv.

The deceased were said to have been discovered on February 4, around 11 am, in the studio located at HFP Shopping Complex, Abraham Adesanya in Ajah.

It was gathered that the artists had gone to Ajah to perform in a three-day birthday party allegedly organized by the owner of the studio, Olanireti Akinbola.

The deceased, it was learnt, performed on February 3 and decided to sleep in the studio when they finished around midnight.

According to sources, they were given food by the owner’s husband that night, who is said to be the one who noticed something was amiss around 11 am the next day.

Sources alleged that a possible suffocation from a generator placed directly opposite the studio door could be responsible for their death.

They were allegedly found unresponsive with blood coming out of their nostrils, ears, and mouth, but no violent mark seen.

 “The convener invited some gospel artistes to minister during her three-day birthday praise, which started on Monday.

“Segun Praise was scheduled to minister on the second day, and he came with his crew. The session started in the evening and ran late, so they decided to stay overnight in the studio.

“It was the following morning that we heard that their bodies were found in the studio.

“Her husband was the one who raised the alarm after knocking the studio door several times with no response coming from inside.

“A generator was on and placed directly opposite their sleeping locations. So, it is suspected that this probably caused their death, but nothing has been concluded yet,” said a police source.

Contacted, the Lagos Police Spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the incident, saying it was reported on Wednesday, February 4, at Ajah Division, adding that it was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba.

“One suspect identified as the organizer of the event is currently in custody. Investigation is ongoing while we await the autopsy report,” said Adebisi.
