At the presidential movie
premiere, Omoni, a mother of three, looked radiant like never before. In fact,
some confessed that they never knew the actress could be that sexy because
before then she was always seen as a moderate woman.
However, Omoni has reacted to the
criticisms, claiming her dress appeared to have shown much of her chest due to
camera angle.
She said further that after the
event, she headed straight to her hotel room and returned to Lagos to meet her
family. According to her, she did not collect a dime from the Presidency as
some may have been thinking.
“Before the screening, they asked
me what I wanted and I said I didn’t want anything, but that the President and
his people should see the movie and give their blessings. For me, that is good
enough for the industry,” she explained.
Furthermore, the actress said, “The
first time I ever saw the President was at his brother’s burial ceremony, which
I attended. I don’t know him from anywhere or personally.”
“During the event, President
Jonathan said that the government didn’t have money to give me and he said this
in front of everybody.
“So, if anybody is going aside to
say something else, they are wrong. I returned to Lagos with the small purse I
took to the event and after the event I went back to my hotel room and left for
Lagos the next morning. I didn’t stay back in Aso Rock or sneak out to meet
anybody," she narrated.
She added that, "I am still
hoping they will call us to come and take something, that they are impressed.”
