Omotola who is a mother of four lovely kids, told CNN: “I've reached a point in my life where I’ve realized I have to leave something. I have to have a legacy.
“I decided I will be an activist for Africa. My experience with the UN and other humanitarian organizations inspired me to want to speak out and say more and there's so much you can just say with words.
“This was my motivation for singing.”
The Queen of Nollywood is not just an icon in the Nigerian entertainment industry but is also a United Nations Ambassador and an Amnesty International activist.
In 2013, she was awarded the Black Entertainment Film Fashion Television and Arts, (BEFFTA), Icon Award, a special honorary award in recognition of her contribution to the film industry in Africa, Europe and globally.
