I used to scare boys when I was younger – Omotola Jalade-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.”
