The Nollywood star sought the visit to motivate the young pupils, shared her experience while growing up to stardom and launched her pet project 'I gat value'.
According to her, "what is lacking most among us in Nigeria is value. we don't feel valued. I wonder if our government care about us. What is the value of a Nigerian child. How many people died in France and the whole world was in France."
"Even our President, is sending commiserating messages to them and his not acknowledging all the things happening here in northern Nigeria. Are northerners not part of Nigerians anymore? she asked.
She said, as father of the nation, who was voted in during the 2011 election, it was expected of President Goodluck Jonathan to show himself accountable and protect the citizens.
"...today we have Nigerians bombing one another, killed and all scattered. It appears nobody cares anymore. There is jungle justice everwhere and nobody is being held. How many Nigerian students have died in this country, who is protecting them and fighting for their course.?
However, Omotola emphasised need for Nigerians to value themselves, irrespective of wether the government care about its citizen or otherwise,
The celebrity, who has carved a niche for herself in the industry is considered a major player in the third ranked entertainment industry across the globe.
