Eniola Badmus, actress and Special Assistant for Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nigeria, Tajudeen Abbas, has reiterated her support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amid the current economic hardship in the country.

The actress, who campaigned vigorously for Tinubu in the build-up to the 2023 presidential elections, recently declared that her stance on President Tinubu had not changed.

In an Instagram post, she wrote, “[I am] still standing on Daddy Seyi [Tinubu]’s mandate.”

Her post elicited mixed reactions, with some commenters accusing her of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, who are facing hardship as a result of President Tinubu’s poor economic policies.

See some of the reactions below:
Olori_Nini wrote: “This is really not the right time to post this. It sounds very insensitive. People are struggling – hungry and frustrated because the economy is tough. If people react negatively, it’s understandable, and honestly, you would have brought it upon yourself.

“No one is saying you shouldn’t support your candidate, but this post feels like a mockery of Nigerians. Maybe you’re not affected by the current economic hardship, but many people are. You can be loyal to your candidate without posting it here.”

Oliver_Of_Lagos wrote: “Anywhere belle face. Celebrity isonu. Nothing lasts forever. The internet is a memory storage device.”

Hypeman Ruby wrote: “As the first son of the family and the breadwinner, this mandate has made my struggles worse. I find it hard to be there for myself, let alone my family. I love you, Baddoskie, but shey e fe gbor ebo npa.”

Alh_Alubarika wrote: “I don’t understand why people are attacking her. Everyone has their own choices. Moreover, that’s where she earns her daily bread, and she can never deny that. If me and you had the same opportunity she has, we would probably do more than her.”

Famous Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has opened up on why she lost interest in attending church service.

The actress who made the revelation in a Snapchat video on Sunday, stated that she stopped going to church because attention often shifted to her rather than the service.

While explaining that she’s always the one they take pictures of, the actress said she now joins church service online.

Akindele said “Anytime I go to church, I am always the one they take pictures of. So I will join online.”

Recall that in 2022, Akindele openly identified herself with the Celestial Church of Christ.

“Every time I have challenges I go to the Celestial church quietly at night for solutions. But I have to stop hiding and publicly identify with the church”, she said.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
