Nollywood veteran actress, Omotola Jalade- Ekeinde has shared why she doesn’ t have close friends in the Nollywood movie industry .

In a recent chat with Potpourri , the actress emphatically stated that all she has in the industry are colleagues and never close friends. She said:

    “ Most of my friends are friends I have had forever . I am a very loyal person . I try to keep a very small group of friends . It is not that I don ’ t make new friends, but I call them acquaintances . When you say friends, they are people I have known for a long time , since I was a child , ” “ Everybody is my colleague. I don’ t have very close friends in the industry , ”.

When asked why , she explained :

    “ We don ’ t live around each other to start with . I live very far away from so many people . Secondly, I am not too much of a party person . We probably won ’ t see often . I am also not very good at visiting people , so, we probably won ’ t have that kind of bond.
