"I used to scare boys when i was younger"- Omotola Jolade Ekehinde

“I have two younger brothers and was a tomboy,
fiercely independent. I used to scare boys from a very
young age. They found me too much, because I knew
what I wanted and I’d boss them around. In those days
my mother would joke that I would never find a
husband.” screen goddess disclosed in a recent
interview with a UK-based newspaper, Telegraph.
She stated that she had two younger brothers and
that rubbed off on her making her a tomboy, adding
that her mother used to make jokes that she would not
find a husband, ironically she met her husband when
she was 16 years old.
A daddy’s girl while growing, Omotola said that she was
close to her late father who used to treat her like a
boy. Her father, a manager of Lagos Country Club,
died in an auto crash when she was just twelve years
old.
She said, “My father was a
different kind of African man.
He was very enlightened. He
always asked me what I wanted, and encouraged me to
speak up. He treated me like a boy"
