Dr Mrs Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, MFR
Nollywood screen goddess, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, has added a new feather to her cap. But that is not the news.
The latest gist is that the 41 years old Ondo State-born wife of pilot Matthew Ekeinde and mother of four grown up children, wants to be addressed properly with her new insignia, which is an honorary doctorate degree bestowed upon her last Sunday, December 1, 2019 by the first private university in the country, Igbinedion University, Okada Town, Edo State.
The estate management graduate from the Yaba College of Technology showed the way when she posed majestically in her academic gown and wrote on her Instagram page (realomosexy):
“Say what? Lol... Before the official pictures... Dr. Mrs. Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, MFR. #igbinedionuniversity #Godisdoingit.”
So now you know. Don’t just call her Omo Sexy, give her the full accolades.
Omotola’s other achievements:
Apart from the numerous movies which she has acted since 1995 when she ventured into the industry as a pioneer actress, the ex-model currently commands a followership of three million on the Instagram.
