Omotola J. Ekeinde reacts to husband's alleged sack from Air Nigeria

 
The screen diva two days ago reacted to reports that went viral last week suggesting her pilot husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde, was sacked from the Jimoh Ibrahim owned Air Nigeria, which shut down operation for a year and let go of more than 95% of its staff.

After she reacted to the reports, some people suggested that the actress was dishonest for debunking the rumour because the only pilots left at Air Nigeria are the Director of Flights Operation and Chief Pilot. But here's the thing; Captain Ekeinde was not particularly sacked by Air Nigeria, but he was among the 800+ people affected by the airline's decision to shut down operation for over a year.

She wasnt dishonest tho cos she nevr said My hubby wasnt sacked she only asked them to produce the sack letter.Atleast if u knw he was sacked produce d letter now as an evidence.Her hubby is nt the celeb so why shld it make front pages dat he was fired,he wast even d only one, omotola is the celeb leave her family alone just made it to ridicule him cos pple tot he was d only one fired not knwin they sacked 98% of staffs it's unfair.You needed to see shameful headlines like omotola's hubby was sacked for disloyalty and dishonesty, jimoh ibrahim sacks omotola's hubby for being dishonest and so on.Why not just write among the 800 staffs.
Side bar: this pic of them is cute o kai her hubby is one foine man

OMG. Omotola if you are reading this, just pay no mind to the rumor mongers. You are still my role model and its admirable how you protect your husbands reputation. All will be well. I wish I was in Nigeria right now...

@ano 9:00 talk of a lazy man"the woman would be d breadwinner" rubbish.Do u knw if he has investments or properties.He got sacked now means his money is finished or he's no longer capable of feeding his family.how many mnths do pilots stay jobless sef just few weeks nd bam dey have another job so during dat time his money would haff finish ba?

Omotola is always so defensive! She needs to relax! Yeah her hubby was affected by the sack but it wasn't just him... It was a whole lot of staff and intelligent people have read the news via air Nigeria ... She needs to understand that she is a celeb and people will always come up with this sort of crap to sell their publications! Give it a rest mate!

Nigerians do have serious issues with plain English. She didn't deny or verify anything. Two things were said here , produce the sack letter and I and my family are fine. Ofcourse they are fine, people switch jobs all the time,what has that got to do with anyting, abeg bad belle people should leave Omotola alone. Humanbeings and their wicked hearts. Mcheeewwww.

Habaaaaaa naaaa! Now who is taking stuff too too seriously? Do u think it's easy being a celebrity? Do u v any idea d amount of discipline it takes not 2 react 2 a derogatory comment made abt u or sm1 u care abt? Can u honestly say u've neva defended urself wen falsely accused or misunderstood? I find it offensive dat u used d words "market troublemaking woman" not all women who sell @ d markets r troublesome. Sm r loving mothers, wives,daughters,sisters,friends etc. D ironic humour is u even come across more troublesome than some Women I knw who sell in markets. Abeg weytin Omosexy do u biko? After almost tearing her to pieces u still corrected her grammatical error! Hian! U mean d babe oh. Mw u sef make mistake! It's SERIOUSLY n not SERIOUS,na adjective u hear, aunty mi. I reckon u r gonna need a bottle or 2 of odeku to go with all dt beef! So u fit sleep off wen u don high rather than stay awake sending malicious comments like an expired hyena.

toluwa said...

Naija pple and issue. Cos u no gbadun d babe no mean say u must talk rubish about her family. If she respond dem go talk say she too proud now she responded una talk say she too serious. Omo eda adamo. Make una take am easy with her and her family. Pilots are not wreteched souls like some of u negative pple with or without air nigeria the captain will feed his family shebi e no kuku talk say make ur papa borrow am money. Nigerian journalists and their cheap ways of selling their rotten newspapers. Some pple really need to focus on their lives and stop forming familiarity with celebs that doesn't even know if u exist

Where d hell does she xpect us 2 get d sack letter 4rm? And of course,her hubby was sacked! #gbam

slim chic. said...

And how exactly is he out of job for a year, abi he started his piloting career with air nigeria so it must end with air nigeria. He is a seasoned pilot and can never be out of work for a year. Sorry to disappoint you. He is an excellent pilot and i've been opportuned to fly in his plane his landing is superb. So except he choses to retire, he will never want for a job.

slim chic. said...

Oya kill urself na as she don respond.

slim chic. said...

Please help me tell the anonymous human being.

slim chic. said...

To must of you saying must she reply, if I were in her shoes giving the circumstancesi will so cos she is a celeb she has no ryt to debunk rumours if she thinks It's time she put an end to it? I respect everyones freedom of expression and I don't care what the persons status is. Can see some ppl r happy her husband is out of work and saying omotola will be bread winner and so on, sorry to burst ur bubble but if her husband has been flying an airplane for over 10 yrs except be is a spend drift he can actually afford to go on a yrs vacation with no shakes my brother is a pilot and be is a millionaire he would tell me he has made his money and can afford to retire but just loves his job. To me he just loves his job (refering to omotola's hubby).

Lili i prefer d former backgroud.red is hot.dis color is too dull n borin

BLOGLORD said...

The truth is, Captin Ekeinde was never sacked. he was a pilot working with Arik, Yes! he was on his way to work (to fly that morning) and was held up in traffic; the scheduled flight was getting delayed because he was not yet at the airport. he was called several times while still stuck in traffic and was asked to park his car somewhere safe and possible take a bike while they send someone to come pick his car. he didn't. The flight was delayed and rescheduled, management got angry and suspended him. While he was on the supposed suspension, i guess he decided he was'nt going back to Arik.
Matter end, case dismissed!

I do not understand why peeps will be making comments from their nose here.... U said she shouldn't have responded, u said 800 were sacked and sack happens, did the papers say 800 were sacked? Didn't I read Omotola's Husband sacked? Meanwhile the real gist is the airline closed down and should omotola's husband still be watching the over the airport? Nigerian press arrrhhhhhh!!!!(Linda not u sha). Meanwhile capt has a new job, just like omot is over it, we should get over it too..

Anonymous said...

Jeez,I so much hate d way omotola respond sometimes,so if they sack person nah d whole town dey get d sack letter,dt her comment is dumb.she shldnt not have responded cos YES he was sacked.she shld have let us know its the jimoh ibrahim collapse of business dat affected 800 people.

Esmerelda aka issabella said...

Best reply, she needed to reply because people wanted to make it an issue because she is a celeb and I think she gave a good reply. I must say omotola has matured in her reponse to criticism, KUDOS Ma!

Esmerelda aka issabella said...

She's not fighting it, she just dosent understand why some people are making it a big deal and trying to ridicul her family.

It's a blessing to leave a Jimoh Ibrahim led organisation. The man is overwhelming unstable and inconsistent. Omo sexy tell ur husband to move on.

what did i type initially? thot i saw "Arik Air" in the caption.
my eyes are beginning to play tricks on me.
thot i could get over these reading glasses. arggghhh!

sleekreek said...

And even if the guy was sacked,its nobody's bizness.......people get sacked from time to time so what is the big deal attached to Mr Ekeinde issue? Moreover his profession is a very juicy one and he has so many years of experience,,,,dont be surprised if he gets another job even with a better pay package........why not talk about the over 800 people that were also involved or Jimoh Ibrahim that whatever bizness he ventures into is always a total mess........abeg Omotola,,,leave the rumor mongers,,nothing do u jare............and that pix with ur hubby is so nice!!!

Anonymous said...

what kind of childish responds was that "they shld produce the sack letter" abeg lets move on, as long as it not ur own biz sack is always expected so pls get a life.

how can it termed as dishonest, abeg, she is on point jare, who can produce the sack letter nau......

Anonymous said...

MAKE ALL YOU NAY SAYERS DEY HERE DEY Yarn oh! I was an air hostess with air Nigeria and let me tell you, JIMOH Ibrahim was and is still owing the whole staff and air Nigeria associates money! He had not paid salaries for two months and all the staff( pilots, engineers,cabin attendants, ground staff even loaders) all downed tools. He started begging but because he's a confirmed liar and braggart, nobody agreed to fly! He gave an ultimatum and when he saw that everyone stood their ground, he decided to according to him, fire " THE ENTIRE COMPANY STAFF" who does that? It was about time anyway as after the Dana crash? Govt has hard on the company and pilots were hard on him for safety rules.
CAPT EKEINDE IS ONE OF OUR MOST EXPERIENCED CAPTS AND ACTUALLY THE MOST RESPECTED. He earns a lot of money so this can never affect him infact,pilots are never out of jobs as they are very few and it's a highly skilled job so I'm sure he has wayyyyyyyyy better offers by Now.

david said...

abgegi, how can you write that she is dishonest, in what sense? first of all, is it the happiness of the journalist that reported the news for omotola's hubby to be jobless? or what was his/her intention for repoting such? we all know that air Nigeria could not continue becos of mismanagement of the company, so that makes it mandatory for all to leave, how then should it now be reported as been sacked. na bad belle dey worry that journalist or lack of news content?

Tunji said...

ofcos she is damn right now, what else do you want her to say linda, isn't it obvious that it's aimed at tarnishing her image? she is made and can never be unmade lai lai in Jesus name.

james said...

ofcos she made so much sense to me with her tweet, do you expect her to just sitdown and allow one nonentity destroy her her hubby's image, we should be professional in what we do, that reporter that brought up the news was not for me at all.

i will do exactly do exactly the same, omotola ride on joooooooo

You are an asshole... Foolish human being! Why is she razz? Because she commented. Dey suppose don abort you! Oloriburuku.

For those blabbin thrash, her comment was more than matured. Wen she asked dem to produce ţђξ sack letter, she wasn't referrin to evryone. She was referrin to ţђξ idiots who call demselves journalists who derive pleasure in toying wit other ppls already made names all I n ţђξ name of writing. Celebrities are human. U dnt expect dem to b perfect. Though they r our role models, but is der anyone who can tell me ONE perfect human being  earth? Ppl should jst stop creatin unnecessary noise over other ppls affairs.

The only people PAINED by omotola's response are the people that started or were happy at the News. They didn't expect Omotola to fight back as she ignores a lot of rumours. So it's paining them that she has put the records straight and it's rectified! Evil cows!
Trust Omotola the wise chick. She knows how to pick her battles...she's the most successful female entertainer for a reason.

Anonymous said...

she just show how she so much care for her family. And tell d pple who publish d news to say what is written in the sack letter #osexynationrocks

kayode said...

linda you are really a disapointment for posting this, tell me how it is wrong for her to have written such on twitter, was her husband sacked? the answer is no, jimoh ibrahim is owing them in actual fact, he ought to be sued to the court of law.

george said...

i am solidly behind what omotola wrote, she will always remain a darling no matter what any body might write about her, na crime to be successful? why are they now trying to bring her down
