Why I Have a Successful Marriage – Omotola Jalade Ekeinde - Mhiz Rebecca - 12-01-2016
Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde who
was one of the panelists at the Innovation
Warehouse, a mentorship programme for aspiring
filmmakers and actors during the just concluded
Africa International Film Festival in Lagos revealed
why she has a successful marriage even with her
blooming career.
Read below:
“It’s better to be an enemy to a work partner than
to your family,” said Omotola.
Speaking further, she stated that for a marriage to
work in the entertainment industry, partners must
be of the same faith. “They must believe in you. .
If you’re a Christian and you marry someone who
is not born again then you are on your own. Your
partner needs to be stronger than you. They are the
ones getting the aftermath of your own action.
Choose a partner who understands entertainment.
Don’t choose your fan. Personally, I don’t believe in
love at first sight. Pick someone who sees your
heart, your soul, someone who sees the real you
and not afraid to tell you about your flaws.
Discipline is key. Everyone wants freedom but too
much freedom is bad. Be disciplined. It’s better to
be an enemy to a work partner than to your family.
Learn to say No!
We are like nurses and doctors in the industry
because we can be called upon at anytime”. She
also advised against giving in to advances to get
movie roles. “Sometimes you will get a role for
giving yourself out but you won’t be able to retain
it. .
If you become famous it will later hunt you. But
don’t run away from your sexuality, don’t shy away
from who you are, enjoy who you are, come on
there but come out with substance. ”
