Jonathan Gave My Career A Boost – Omoni Oboli

Many were surprised when photos emerged showing popular Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli, with former President Goodluck Jonathan.  Recently the actress revealed that the former President gave her career the needed boost when she was privileged to meet him.
Speaking in a recent interview, the sultry Nollywood Star and Movie Director explained how the meeting came about.  “Being Mrs Elliot was my directorial debut  and I had applied to show the movie to the former President and he obliged. Anything that gives you publicity for your movies prior to the cinema release is definitely always welcome by any serious film maker. It was a great honour and a beautiful boost to my career as a film maker, to launch out that way was definitely the very thing I needed then and I am thankful for that”, she said.
She also revealed how she has been able to keep her home despite the many failed marriages in Nollywood, “I don’t know if I keep my home intact, I believe God does that for me. There are many women who do the right things and show up at every time for their husbands and still get the short end of the stick, so I don’t take credit for it.  I have my moments and he does too, but somehow it has never tipped the scale and that’s because God made it possible”, she said.
“Nevertheless, I believe that when you understand that you are both different individuals who have become one, then you can try to weather any storm, knowing that if you don’t both of you will have a dreadful  life in that marriage.
Enjoy it and seek for the things that make for peace because life is too short to waste it fighting”, the actress stated.
