How I Almost Turned To Prostitution – Omotola

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, a famous actress, has revealed how her father’s death affected her in ways she could not have imagined or handled.

In an exclusive interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the screen diva opened up about losing her father when she was 12 years old.

She explained that because she was shipped off to Kaduna at a young age, they never had time to bond like father and daughter. She stated she was unaware of her death until he died.

The mother of four stated that having to deal with such a reality at such a young age nearly broke her as she became emotionless, attributing her fearlessness and confidence to the ‘life-changing’ incident.

To provide for her brothers and protect them from those who would seek to separate them, the mother of four revealed she nearly turned to prostitution to ensure no one succeeded in separating them.

She noted that they came to her in school just as they were about to write exams in JSS3 into senior secondary, informing her that she needed to leave for home in Lagos.

Speaking about her dad’s passing and the effect on her, Omo Sexy as she fondly called stated: “I just started to see a crowd when I got to my street and I knew, definitely there’s been a death.

“So going through the crowd, the mental process till I got to my compound, and my compound was very big. And all these people, it was like a movie. I had to walk through their midst. And as you’re walking, everyone is turning to look at you, some wailing. Some looking in slow motion, I still remember the feeling.

“And I kept thinking, who’s going to greet me first? Who am I going to strike off the list? Then I saw my younger brothers. Then, I walked up the stairs and saw my mom. Then I froze because it now dawned on me that it was my dad.

“And so, I didn’t know how to react. I didn’t know if it was the guilt of me thinking it shouldn’t be him. I was too young to process it. Or the fact that I have truly missed him, and now that he’s dead; I won’t see him again? Or that I’m angry I didn’t get to spend enough time with him. He didn’t spend enough time with me because I was shipped to Kaduna. So, I didn’t know how I was feeling. And so, I was just there, numb. I was really numb.”

She added: “And now that I’m older, I think I understand it but then, I didn’t. So I just became emotionless and it has affected me till this day. There’s hardly anything you say that can move me. I am so confident of who I am that….’You no reach’.

“I mean, I’ve said it to presidents before who have invited me. ‘No, I don’t respect you’ because I don’t fear anybody.

“I know my dad was a very strong man. He died when I was twelve. And I think everything that I’ve been, positively or negatively was sore because of that, my father’s death. I don’t fear for my life to be honest.

“I think I probably would have become a prostitute today because I was that desperate. I got to a point and I said to myself, ‘I’d rather sell my body than for anyone to take my younger brothers apart’.”
