Few days ago when Omotola and daughter celebrated their
birthday, a lot of bloggers wished them well and also put up her 14-year old
daughter’s pic on their blogs and some called her hot and s*xy. The actress
found it offensive and politely asked bloggers to put it down. Well Mr Alonge
Osagie thinks the actress did the wrong thing by asking bloggers to put the
pictures down and said what she ought to have done was to put her daughter in
place, and start changing the world from her home like she advocates. Find his letter to the actress after the cut.

Last week, Omotola Jalade-Ekiende went on a rant on social
media in response to entertainment bloggers who described her daughter Meraiah
Ekeinde as ‘Hot and s*xy’.

The Nollywood actress and 2013 Time Magazine Icon barked at

‘Thank you to everyone who wished Meraiah a happy birthday.
However, going to a 14 year old’s ‘private’ online accts to post her pictures
for public viewing is totally inappropriate. Her father and I are horrified as
parents and guardian that a minor’s picture can be paraded online as ‘hot’
,’s*xy’ etc.’, she wrote on her official Facebook page.

Dear Omotola, I’d like to say that the media has done
nothing, absolutely nothing wrong and do not owe you an apology for publicising
your daughter’s photos. You should be the last person pointing fingers as it
clearly shows you’ve scored a D minus in raising this cute kid..

Meraiah Ekeinde is four years away from adolescence but by
merely studying her Instagram page, you’d be amazed at the kind of photos a
14-year-old girl puts up – we are talking s*xualised seflies, showing off her
‘curves’, pouts, using hashtags like #StayS*xy and posting memes containing
vulgar language like the word ‘f*ck’.

I’m sure Meraiah means no harm and she is in the early stage
of youthful exuberance but dear Omotola, do you approve of an underage turning
up her s*xiness in the eye of the public? Why hasn’t she been cautioned to take
down these s*xually suggestive photos? Why is it that you have failed to
understand that Meraiah, a minor, has no business trying to act like your
fellow desperate Nollywood actresses on social media?

Instead, you choose to be horrified by the media calling her
‘Hot and s*xy’, accusing them of intruding on you poor little girl’s privacy.
Madam, you’ve got it all wrong. Are those photos ‘Hot and s*xy’? Oh my, yes
they damn are!

It’s a shame that up till now, these photos haven’t been
deleted. It’s a shame that you’ve asked the media to behave like adults and
draw the line when you’ve not acted in the same faith.

In February 2012, US rapper Nas’ 18-year-old daughter
Destiny Jones posted a box of condoms on her Instagram page. The media and
community attacked Nas and his baby mama Carmen Bryan for the post which was
subsequently taken off. Nas didn’t come out defending his daughter or attacking
the media, he rather blamed himself on his song ‘Daughters’.

Dear Omotola, you always profess the idea of changing the
world, it’s time to start from your house; clean it up.
