Nigeria Needs A Leader Willing To Make Sacrifices – Omotola

Nollywood Actress Calls for Sacrificial Leadership in Nigeria

Veteran Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has emphasized the need for a leader in Nigeria who is willing to make significant sacrifices, including risking personal safety, to propel the country forward.

In an interview aired on Channels Television on February 8, 2026, Jalade-Ekeinde discussed the current state of the nation and the upcoming 2027 general elections. She expressed concern over Nigeria’s ongoing struggles despite its abundant natural and human resources.

The actress stated that while the country possesses the potential for success, it lacks courageous leaders capable of making the difficult decisions necessary to alleviate its challenges. She warned that a nation can descend into chaos without the enforcement of laws, noting that even countries perceived as strong can become unsafe when regulations are disregarded.

Jalade-Ekeinde advocated for a leadership that prioritizes order and progress through the strict enforcement of laws. She criticized politicians who profess love for Nigeria, claiming they often rely on emotional narratives to gain public sympathy without demonstrating genuine care for the nation’s welfare once in power.

She asserted that many leaders’ claims of patriotism are undermined by their actions, which often reflect a focus on personal gain over national interest.

In concluding her remarks, Jalade-Ekeinde highlighted that Nigeria’s future hinges on identifying leaders who are truly dedicated to the nation and willing to bear the burdens of real change.
