If you’re one of those that criticized Omoni Oboli’s outfit to the Aso villa (HERE) then she’s got a response for you.
“I styled myself and I thought the outfit was appropriate because there
were no vital parts showing. Sometimes the angles with which pictures are taken can portray certain things you do not have intention of portraying. We have pictures
from the event and you won’t see what people are seeing.
The truth is
that a lot of people are very bitter and when people are bitter they try
to look for a lot of negative things in every positive thing. It is
unfortunate that we are in the limelight because if someone else wears
that outfit no one will say anything.
I don’t even read blogs and see
the comments. My true fans know who I am and my intention when I am
doing things.”
On how she got the president to watch the movie, she said “The Film Producers Marketers Association of Nigeria actually wrote to
the presidency.“To our greatest surprise, they said they would do it.
The event had the president, Vice-President, PDP chairman, some senators
and ministers and two governors in attendance. It was huge and it is a
big achievement for Nollywood. I sat on the high table with all these
men and never expected that I would get to this point.
The President
said Nollywood had put Nigeria on the world map and contributed to our
economy in so many ways and so could not be ignored.”
