Few days ago, one of Nollywood's sexiest actresses, Omotola Jalade
Ekeinde, fondly called Omosexy, was named by respected American journal,
TIME Magazine as one of world's 100 most influential people.
This
became a feat achieved by the Nigerian movie icon as she is the first
Nigerian celeb to be so named. The news was well received by many
Nigerians, who lauded the feat by Omosexy.
Not only did it
established the fact that Omotola has become a global brand, it also
attests to the fact that despite the bad image Nigeria earned by the
activities of its corrupt leaders and some dubious citizens, there are
still few individuals that are portraying Nigeria as a great country.
According
to our findings, Omotola made the list because of her exemplary works
as an activist. Just few years ago, she staged a protest against Shell
Petroleum's environmental degradation in the Niger-Delta region where
she comes from.
Also, Omotola has taken her trade
internationally. Though she joined the music long time ago, but she
became the first contemporary actress to do a duet with an international
artiste.
This was when she hit the studio with, an R&B
artiste; 'American Valentino.' This shot Omotola into another
international world as a musician.
She has been outside Nigeria for most part of the year to receive different international awards.
Just
last week, she travelled to the US for the dinner organized by TIME
Magazine for the 100 Most Influential People in The World. The event had
the high and mighty of the world in attendance. There is no doubt that
this feat will further shoot Omotola's growing brand higher.
