Tinubu’s Nollywood Ambassador Under Fire Over Hard Times

Nigerian actress Eniola Badmus, known for her curvaceous figure and notable roles in Nollywood, and more recently as an apologist for President Bola Tinubu has stirred controversy with her recent Instagram photos showcasing a vibrant green outfit.

The actress captioned her pictures with the phrase “Can’t lie everything GREEN on this side.” Whereas she may have innocently referred to her outfit, many took her caption to suggest a detachment from the economic struggles impacting many Nigerians.

The post drew ire from social media users who found the Nollywood star flaunting a seemingly carefree attitude insensitive to the financial burdens faced by a significant portion of the population following some controversial policies of the Tinubu administration.

Critics pointed out that the country is grappling with rising fuel prices, increased transportation costs, and inflation affecting the affordability of essential commodities like food.

In response to Badmus’s post, some fans took to the comment section to express their frustration and disappointment given her well-known reputation as one of President Tinubu’s notable supporters in Nollywood.

One comment read, “Innocent people’s money. God will judge you and Tinubu.” Another commenter expressed their disapproval, stating, “I can’t ever like you.” A different user lamented the present state of affairs, remarking, “Why wouldn’t things seem ‘green’ when you have influential connections? Some of us can barely afford food anymore. It is well.”

The actress’s post has sparked a conversation about the divide between those seemingly unaffected by the economic challenges and the larger population struggling to make ends meet. The incident serves as a reminder of the power and responsibility that public figures carry in shaping public perceptions and conversations during times of crisis.
