Why Leah Sharibu Is My Woman Crush – Actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
Beautiful Nollywood actress, Omotola, has spoken out on Leah sharibu, who is currently being held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists, saying that she is her crush.
While speaking in an exclusive interview with PUNCH, multi award-winning Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, who recently bagged an award at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards as Best Actress in Drama/TV Series, spoke out on her admiration for Leah Sharibu, a schoolgirl kidnapped by Boko Haram in Dapchi, Yobe state.
When asked as an activist, what she thought about Leah Sharibu, who is still in captivity over her refusal to denounce Christianity, the actress said:
“It is very sad, especially as I read something (about her) recently. I do not know if it is true, but someone from the Presidency said that it is only God that can help her now. I am not very sure because sometimes there are false news reports on the internet. If it is true that was said, then that is very sad for this country. It does not matter if she was a Christian or a Muslim neither does it matter if she was a boy or a girl, the fact is that a Nigerian child is involved and she is innocent.
“We all have children. They are just about to start their life and they do not have any fault in what Nigeria has become today. Imagine a child who is below 18 years of age facing such things. Nigeria is supposed to protect its children. How do we sleep every day knowing that we have the power to do something but we are not (doing it)? I do not understand how we investigate things in Nigeria. I do not see how difficult it is to find her. I feel that people are just careless about this girl and it will be very sad if anything happens to her.
“I almost have no hope for Nigeria because I do not think that there is going to be any protest over her abduction. I just want people to have the fear of God; that is if they truly believe He exists and if they don’t, they should know that they have children too and they do not know when karma would come for them. They should find that girl and bring her home.”
The actress went further to reveal why the kidnapped schoolgirl is her “Woman Crush Wednesday” as she took to her Instagram page and wrote:
