I have always admired Omotola, she stands out in all aspects and she carries herself with grace and dignity. Am really proud of her; she has made our country proud.
Omo T, Congratutions!!!!! It’s your turn this time around. You, Genevieve and Funke Akindele are at pal in most things. It must be a really big task for the panel to determine the winner. But i wonder who in hell or from hell rated you three with Mercy Johnson, It is a big under estimate of the worth of you three. By the way, am still wondering why Dakore is not rated with you three who most Nigerians expect to be on quality ratings like you. Ok she doing baby friendly and a little time to launch back. Lol! o
I have always believed in you,your ways and lifestyle,keep the ups going sexymotola.
