Nollywood diva Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has added a new feather to acting career.
After featuring in over 300 films, Omosexy has made her directorial debut with the release of her film, ‘Mother’s Love.’
Co-produced by Omotola and Tyna Obahiagbon, the film explores themes of maternal sacrifice, redemption, and the quiet strength of women navigating life’s harshest storms.
“I’ve always believed in the power of African stories told by Africans, and after years in front of the lens, I felt compelled to shape narratives from the director’s chair,” Omotola said.
Continuing, the 47-year-old mother of four said, “Mother’s Love is a story close to my heart, and I’m proud to launch this next phase of my career with a film that centers our voices and lived realities.”
Filmed in Nigeria and featuring talented actors including Ifeanyi Kalu, Noray Nehita, Olumide Oworu, Lilian Afegbai, and Baba Rex, the film blends English and Pidgin dialogue to reflect the authenticity of its setting.
‘Mother’s Love’ will begin its festival run later this year as the project is being submitted to top international film festivals, with a release date coming soon.
