Nollywood
actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is celebrating her 44th birthday today.
The award-winning actress was
born on the 7th of February 1978.
She also took to her
Instagram to share beautiful photos of herself at forty-four. To celebrate her
new age, the award-winning actress shared the photos with the
caption; ‘+1, so blessed.’
The happily married actress
and mother of four got her debut feature in a critically acclaimed film, Mortal
Inheritance (1995). The movie regarded as one of Nigeria’s best movies played a sickle-cell patient who fights for her life despite the odds of
survival.
The actress has since starred
in several blockbuster movies, including Games Women Play, Blood Sisters, All
My Life, Last Wedding, My Story, The Woman in Me and a host of others.
Omotola received her first
cinematic movie role in the 2010 film, Ije.
The film was shot on locations
in Jos, California and Los Angeles. Ije was the highest-grossing Nollywood film
at the time – a feat later broken by another film, Phone Swap (2012). That feat
has since been surpassed by several other movies.
