Published

on

Nollywood super star, Omotola Jalade Ekehinde, popularly known as Omosexy has challenges in playing sex roles as a married woman. The thespian says she doesn’t like watching herself on screen especially some raunchy scenes.
Omotola, a mother of four told newsmen that so long as it was acting, she was ready to take up any role just to make her fans happy. She said, “sometimes you can tell while watching a movie that a couple doesn’t have chemistry, it is not something you can force. Some actors are very good at acting it but sometimes, when it has to do with love, relationship, it is not easy to play.
“When you want to act like you love the person there are some natural acts and gesticulations that you can’t force. But if you are a well trained actor, you will not find that difficult. There are some little tricks to these things that some actors don’t know. You can make it happen and look real too especially in love and sex scenes”.
“When I wasn’t even that confident I starred in a movie called “The Prostitute,” which was released 22 years ago. If I didn’t die then, is it now? I am ready for them. I don’t even like watching myself on screen. If I do, I will feel like burning inside and might even start crying because I criticise myself a lot. Sometimes I pity those watching especially when I poorly do a sex scene. I would be like, what was that for?
“It can kill the whole movie when it is poorly done. For me, if a sex scene is not going to be properly done, then why do it in the first place? If you must kiss, you should be able to kiss well, make it professional. She specifically saluted her husband, Captain Ekehinde whom she said had been very supportive.
Her words, “so far my husband and I have over 20 plus acres of land in Badagry. He has his for his Acquatic Jungle Entertainment’ and I have mine for the film village. We have started with the first phase which will have a cinema and other attractions. It is in its early stages, but surely, we are making progress”.

Jewel Environmental Initiative (JEI), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has commended President Bola Tinubu for inaugurating the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, urging Nigerians and stakeholders to support the initiative nationwide.
Mr Ismail Bima, Chief Executive Officer of JEI, said in a statement in Gombe yesterday that the tour would significantly strengthen public understanding of climate change and encourage collective environmental responsibility.
Bima described the initiative as a clear affirmation of the Federal Government’s commitment to pursuing practical solution driven strategies that addressed climate challenges and safeguarded livelihoods, ecosystems, and national development efforts.
He noted that the programme would achieve its objectives if government institutions, private organisations, civil society groups, and citizens actively played their respective roles in promoting awareness, resilience, and sustainable practices.
According to him, the inauguration marks an important step toward building a nationwide movement capable of delivering measurable progress in Nigeria’s broader efforts to secure a climate resilient future for generations.
He said JEI fully aligned with the Renewed Hope Climate Change Awareness Tour, noting that the initiative could inspire innovation, strengthen environmental education, and promote sustainable development across communities nationwide.
Bima also commended the Minister of Environment and urged federal, state, and local stakeholders to support the initiative, stressing that climate change impacts affected all citizens regardless of region or status.

Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.

The Tide Entertainment reports that  Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.

The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
