Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde announces that her daughter, Meriah, has become engaged. She shares a video showing the proposal moment and tells followers that it is “wedding to plan” time.
Both outlets describe the announcement as widely celebrated by fans and followers, who respond with congratulations and joking remarks. The Nigerian Eye reports that Meriah, 26, is also known as Meraiah or Mimi, and that she previously hinted at the milestone with the caption “New chapter.”
Context provided across the reports includes Meriah being one of Omotola’s four children with her husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde, alongside Princess, Matthew (MJ or Captain E), and Michael. The coverage also notes that Omotola and her husband married in 1996 and recently marked their 30th wedding anniversary. The differing emphasis is mainly on the playful tone of Omotola’s caption and the additional biographical details and timeline provided by Nigerian Eye.
