“Women are the ones who hold Nollywood,” she said, stressing that many female actors are not just performers but business owners, influencers, producers, and entrepreneurs.
According to her, most actresses she knows run multiple businesses alongside their acting careers, with some even maintaining full-time professions.
But it was her candid confession about receiving expensive gifts that stole the spotlight.
“Women have admirers,” she said. “I, who is married, I know how many people have gifted me things, women and men. They’ll just see me and say, ‘Omotola, I’m sending you this.’ They’ve gifted me a car before.”
When asked if the car was returned because she was already married, the actress responded bluntly: “No, why would I return the car?”
Omotola credited her husband’s confidence for the smooth handling of such situations, describing him as “the most secure human being you can ever meet.”
“Think about it, how would you marry an Omosexy if you’re not secure?” she quipped.
