Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has said her desperation to protect her brother almost led her into prostitution.
She made the revelation during an interview with filmmaker and media entrepreneur, Chude Jideonwo, where she recounted her childhood experiences.
According to Omotola, after losing her father at the age of 13, she became so desperate to sell her body to take care of her family.

She, however, said despite the experience, she was such a confident girl while growing up, because she feared nobody and never feared for my life.
Omotola said: “When I was 13, they came to pick me up from school, I knew something was wrong and prayed that nothing had happened to my dad.
“When I got home, I realized my dad was dead, so going through that mental process, I did not know how to react and I did not know how I was feeling, I was just silent, but now that I am older, I think I really understand everything.
“There’s nothing anyone says to me that can move me, I’m so confident in who I’m, and I don’t fear anyone. I don’t fear for my life, probably I would’ve become a prostitute today.
“I was very desperate to do anything and said I would rather sell my body than for anybody to take my younger brother apart.”
