Veteran Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has sparked massive reactions online after shutting down a presenter who asked her to introduce herself during a live event.
The moment unfolded at the 46th Miss Nigeria Patrons & Board Dinner held on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
In the now-viral clip from the broadcast, a young presenter welcomed the audience to the 2026 edition before turning to the legendary actress seated nearby and casually prompting, “Alright, welcome to 2026 Miss Nigeria dinner… introduce yourself.”

Ekeinde, clearly unimpressed by the basic request, paused, looked directly at the host, and delivered a sharp retort: “You are here with who? I should tell you my name?”
The quick, no-nonsense response left the presenter visibly flustered and silent for a beat, creating an instantly awkward yet memorable exchange that has since gone viral across social media.
Fans flooded comment sections with mixed reactions. Many pointed out that, after over three decades of dominating Nollywood, earning multiple awards, and securing global recognition, an introduction should be unnecessary for someone of her calibre.
Some noted that it was not a big deal to introduce herself.
Here are mixed reactions from netizens:
