Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, was left fuming at an event Sunday where a young presenter asked her to introduce herself to the audience.
Omotola a household name felt she didn’t have to introduce herself at the 46th Miss Nigeria Patrons & Board Dinner where she was among the top dignitaries in attendance.
In a video now circulating on social media, the presenter perhaps not yet experienced in the act, approached the actress during a live segment and said, “Alright, welcome to 2026 Miss Nigeria dinner. I am currently live with…?”
The question appeared to catch Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde off guard as she paused, visibly surprised by the request.
“You are here with who? I should tell you, my name? You are not ready,” Omotola exploded.
Despite the presenter’s attempt to explain that he already knew her identity and only wanted to include it as part of his interview flow, the actress was not convinced.
“I know you, Omotola Jalade, I just want fans to know who I am with,” the presenter added.
However, she dismissed the explanation, replying, “Why should I let fans know me? I am tired.”
The actress then made moves to walk away from the interaction, though the presenter continued to plead as the interview reportedly continued briefly.
