Drama As Omotola’s Daughter Opens Up About Frustration Over Comparisons With Her Celebrity Mother.
Princess Ekeinde, daughter of popular Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has spoken about the pressure of constantly being compared to her famous mother and the expectations associated with growing up in a prominent family.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
reports that Princess made the revelation during an appearance on The Chat show.
She explained that while children from wealthy and influential families may enjoy financial privileges and access to opportunities, they also face personal struggles that are often overlooked by the public.
According to her, being the first child and first daughter in her family comes with the responsibility of protecting the family’s reputation and upholding the legacy established by her parents.
Princess also lamented that people frequently compare her with her mother in terms of beauty, status, achievements and talent, while constantly asking whether she intends to pursue an acting career like Omotola.
Speaking on the show, she said:
“Us, nepo babies. Yes, it is good that we were born with a silver spoon; trust me, we have our struggles. People don’t actually see the struggles we face, but we have our own struggles.
“For me, it’s trying to keep my family legacy. You know, as the first child, the firstborn, and the first girl, the mantle is on me to represent my family and position myself and my family in the best light.
“People are always comparing me to my mum, whether it is status, beauty, or talent. People ask me if I am going to be an actress like my mother. And it’s so annoying; first of all, I am not Omotola, I am Princess. Let’s get this straight.”
Princess further explained that her mother ventured into acting because of her personal passion, stressing that her own career choices should not automatically be expected to follow the same path.
She added that being born into a famous family can sometimes deprive children of the freedom to live their lives without public scrutiny, as people often feel entitled to dictate their decisions, including their careers, dressing and relationships.
She said:
“Secondly, my mummy went into acting because that’s what she is passionate about. How are you sure that’s what I want to do with my life? At some point, your life no longer becomes your own. You share so much of your life with these people, and you feel like they own you.
“They own what you do, what you say, how you dress, the people you date. It’s ridiculous; there is a lot of pressure.”
The actress’s daughter also highlighted how Nigerian society often associates the actions of children from prominent families with their parents, rather than viewing them as individuals.
According to her, when children of celebrities make mistakes, the public often identifies them by their parents’ names, placing additional pressure on them to avoid damaging their families’ reputations.
She explained that instead of being recognised as Princess, individuals are frequently labelled as the daughters or sons of famous personalities, making it difficult for them to establish their own identities.
Princess noted that the fear of bringing shame or negative publicity to her family adds to the burden of growing up in the public eye.
The National Economic Council (NEC) has approved a 90-day economic action plan aimed at reducing the cost of living, making food more affordable and attracting investments as the Federal Government seeks to improve Nigerians’ living conditions.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The plan also seeks to eliminate barriers to business activities, harmonise taxes, accelerate the completion of major projects and provide regulated support to households.
The approval followed a presentation by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, during NEC’s 161st meeting held virtually on Thursday.
The meeting was presided over by Vice President Kashim Shettima, according to a statement issued by Stanley Nkwocha, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications in the Office of the Vice President.
The five major areas of the plan include food affordability, tax harmonisation, completion of high-impact projects, removal of investment bottlenecks and regulated household support.
NEC also approved the establishment of a national dashboard to track ongoing projects across the country, with a focus on transparency, accountability and proper reporting on how funds saved from the removal of fuel subsidies are utilised.
Presenting the economic outlook, Oyedele expressed optimism about the progress of President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms and the prospects for further economic recovery.
He identified reducing headline inflation and interest rates to single-digit levels by 2027 as key policy objectives.
However, the minister noted that the next phase of the reforms would require stronger coordination between the Federal Government, state governments and relevant institutions.
His presentation also emphasised the need to ensure that improvements in economic indicators translate into tangible benefits for households and businesses.
It further highlighted the importance of targeted support, effective public finance management and removing obstacles that discourage investments.
Addressing the council, Shettima said the success of the President’s economic reforms should be assessed by their impact on the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians.
He urged governors and relevant institutions to prioritise affordable transportation, improved healthcare, job creation and greater financial security for citizens.
“The first dividend of prosperity should be the confidence to plan a life. Our task is to make such confidence less dependent on fortune,” he said.
The Vice President also described discussions on transportation, healthcare, police reform and livestock development as crucial to ensuring that Nigerians benefit from economic progress.
He called for stronger collaboration between the Federal Government and state governments, stressing that their separate responsibilities should not prevent them from pursuing the common interest of the public.
“Our separate jurisdictions must serve a common public interest,” Shettima said.
He encouraged governors to apply their understanding of local challenges when shaping national policies, adding that government decisions must deliver practical benefits to citizens.
“Our separate mandates must not become competing excuses. Each Governor carries knowledge that no federal document can supply,” he said.
Shettima added that government policies should ultimately be assessed by their ability to create opportunities, reduce uncertainty and strengthen public confidence.

‘Joshua Should Retire Now’ – Hrgovic Sends Strong Warning To Anthony Joshua Ahead Of Fury Fight.
IBF heavyweight champion Filip Hrgovic has advised Anthony Joshua to retire from professional boxing, citing concerns over the former two-time world champion’s recent performances ahead of his proposed clash with Tyson Fury.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Joshua is scheduled to face fellow British boxer Fury in Cardiff on Friday, December 11. However, Hrgovic believes the British-Nigerian fighter should consider ending his career rather than expose himself to further punishment in the ring.
Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, the Croatian boxer suggested that Joshua was approaching the end of his career and might be pursuing the proposed fight largely because of the financial rewards involved.
“He is done; he shouldn’t be fighting anymore, but he wants to do one more fight. I think that he is going to make a huge amount of money and he is doing it because of that, but I think that he shouldn’t be fighting anymore,” Hrgovic said.
Joshua suffered a knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois in 2024 while challenging for the IBF heavyweight title. He returned to action last December and secured a stoppage victory over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
However, questions about his form resurfaced during his subsequent outing in July, when Albanian boxer Kristian Prenga reportedly knocked him down twice before Joshua recovered to secure a second-round knockout victory.
Since then, Joshua has reunited with former trainer Ben Davison, who previously worked with Fury.
Hrgovic said he was shocked by Joshua’s performance against Prenga, particularly because the former champion had reportedly made significant changes to his preparations ahead of the bout.
“When I saw that last fight, I felt sorry for him because before the fight he said that he shut all of his businesses to focus on boxing. He changed his coach for the 20th time. He started to work with team Usyk; he did everything that he could do, and then he comes to the fight with a journeyman, and he goes down in 10 seconds!
“I couldn’t believe it. I felt sorry for him, and I think he shouldn’t be fighting anymore. Based on how he looked in his last fight, it was a disaster. He is just not there, man,” the Croatian said.
Hrgovic also stressed the dangers associated with professional boxing, arguing that fighters must recognise when their careers have reached a point where continuing to compete could put them at greater risk.
“It is not basketball, it is not soccer. In boxing you come to a point where you can’t fight anymore. It is a dangerous sport, it is a war, and I think that when you come to a point where you can’t fight, you can’t mess around with boxing,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hrgovic is expected to make the first defence of his IBF heavyweight title against Frank Sanchez in Croatia in early 2027.
