Omotola Jalade Celebrates Herself

This Inspiring Charge By Omotola Jalade To Nigerian Youths Is Just What You Need To Start The Week


 

Nollywood veteran actress, Omotola Jalade clocked 40 some days back and as part of her birthday celebration, she took a trip to slave trade centre in Badagry, where she urged young people about freeing themselves from slavery.

While addressing the young people that went with her to the centre, the actress reiterated the reason slave trade was abolished, stating that it was because the blacks were no longer needed.

She advised youths to get up and fight to be better. She warned them of the danger involved in not living ones dreams but always monitoring the lives of others.

In her charge, she said:

“So, the main end to slavery as we know it today, actually happened because we became useless to them. And that is to sink in, because there was an industrial revolution which is still mental for them. So, they continued to develop themselves while we continue to think that we could not develop.

We did not change the revolution or alter the time, it was because we were no longer needed and till today, the black man continues to suffer this fate, not necessarily in the hands of the white man but in the hands of ourselves.

Stop getting angry with the Freezes of this world. They are not your problem, they are trying to help you.

It might be wrong what he’s saying, you may not agree with what he’s saying, but you must agree with the spirit of which he is saying it. You need to wake up. You need to wake up Black people.


You need to wake up because nobody is going to hand it over to you. The slave masters never handed it over to you, so whatever your master is today, he’s not going to hand you freedom. Freedom is not coming to you on a platter of gold.

You are going to have to wake up and stop being trivial. And stop talking about whether I like this person, or I don’t like how he’s delivering it, or I don’t like his face or is he wearing Gucci belt.

We need to stop about fashion. Fashion is good. We all want to look good but at this point in our life, fashion is not important. Let the people who have conquered everything else talk about fashion. Fashion is not our problem right now. We have bigger things as our problems.

Young people wake up, don’t be on social media buying data to be insulting celebrities. Or to be following celebrities and knowing what they wore last night, that’s not your business.
