She’s Not Afraid Of Aging
July 30, 2016 – Omotola Jalade Reveals Real
Age, Says She’s Not Afraid Of Aging
Excerpts from Nollywood actress Omotola
Jalade’s recent chat with Lanre Odukoya.
You celebrated 20th wedding anniversary with your
husband a few weeks ago. That is quite a feat rarely
achieved by people in your industry. How does this
feel?
I’m just thankful because I’m married to my friend
and destiny supporter. There’s no relationship
without its challenges. When people say 20 years,
the first thing that comes to the minds of many is
‘Oh, my God, you guys must be really without
stress.’ I just want to tell people that if you’re
determined to do it in life, you would make it.
You have troubles everywhere in life, you have with
your parents, your siblings, friends and so on. So,
it’s a normal thing; don’t use any quarrels in your
relationship with your spouse to justify the claim
that marriage is hard. It’s not any harder than any
other relationship you have in life with maybe your
business partners, siblings and friends.
I understand there can be abuse in some marriages
and in the event of that, I think you should find your
way out as quickly as possible. But if there’s no
abuse, there’s nothing that you cannot overcome.
I’ve had a very wonderful time with my spouse. And
that’s what matters- just be friends.
Are there things on the cards for the future?
If you know me very well you’d realise I don’t talk
about future plans because by God’s grace, my
life happens very quickly and sometimes I can’t
even catch up with myself. So, it doesn’t even
make sense to talk about the future. But I guess
we all want to be healthy and alive; that I think is
the most important thing.
You’re growing grey already, does that convey any
feelings?
Well, I’m 38 years old and I’m not scared. But
even if I was 51, that’s not the point; there are
younger people with even more grey hair. The
point is that in life, we should accept who we are.
And you’d notice that when people feel a sense of
sufficience in life, they wouldn’t be afraid of
aging.
People are actually afraid of age when they look
at where they are in life and feel that they’ve not
achieved much. So, they think time is running out
and that’s why people are actually afraid of
aging. If you really probe it, you’d realise these
things.
But if you are content with what you have in life
and know that all fingers are not equal and that
you’re actually where you are meant to be because
you could as well be six feet below, that helps. That
you’re alive and well in itself is a reason to
celebrate.
