Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, a veteran Nollywood actress, has revealed some of the secrets that have kept her marriage together for the past 27 years.

In an interview, the actress, who turned 45 in February, stated that her marriage to Captain Matthew Ekeinde has lasted because she does not stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her husband.

She went on to say that if a woman submitted to her man, he would respect her. And that women should not claim equality with their male counterparts.

During the interview, the actress, who began having children at the age of 19, stated that she does not go to the market to buy food for her family. Her husband is usually the one who goes out and buys everything for the house.

She attempted to go once but her husband warned her never to follow him again because of the attention and crowd that surrounded her when they sighted her.
