Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Reveals Impact of EndSARS Protest on Family, Sparks Movie Promotion Debate

Veteran Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde revealed the personal impact of the 2020 EndSARS protest on her family, with her children receiving death threats. This led her to shift focus from street protests to advocacy work to ensure her family's safety, especially her children.

Omotola also stirred controversy by openly criticizing the trend of dancing on social media to promote movies, a stance supported by filmmaker Kunle Afolayan. This led to backlash, particularly from actress Toyin Abraham, known for her box office success.

Omotola emphasized the importance of professionalism in movie promotion, advocating for structured channels over social media trends. She is currently dividing her time between Nigeria and an upcoming cinema project, "Mother's Love," set for release on March 6, 2026, sparking online debates among fans and industry watchers.
