Losing you has taught me so much about life
Eniola Badmus, a Nollywood actress, has written an emotional tribute to her late mother, who died nineteen years ago.
Eniola, who has not revealed who her true love is, decided to commemorate Valentine’s Day in a special way by remembering her late mother on her Instagram page.

“Losing you has taught me so much about life. It taught me the meaning of life, and what real love really is. They say a mother and a daughter is one of the closest relationships in the world. Losing that relationship taught me how capable I was of loving, losing, and feeling pain.
“Losing you has given me purpose. I will continue to live everyday for you. I will be the best version of me. I will make you proud. With every choice, every decision, every step I take for the rest of my life, I will honor you. 19 years without you is hard, and it probably always will be, but I will live this life for you momma. Continue to rest on ALHAJA i miss you dearly as I type this in tears”.
If Tinubu wins, let if be known that Buhari didn’t help him win, Nigerians faith in him made it happen
Eniola Badmus, a Nollywood actress, has come under fire yet again for her strong support for APC Presidential Candidate Bola Tinubu.
According to Eniola Badmus, Tinubu will win the election not because his party is the ruling party, but because Nigerians believe in him personally.
Taking to her Instagram page, Eniola Badmus: “Let it be known that if Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu wins this election, it’s not because he’s party is the ruling party.
It’s because of the faith Nigerians have in him personally. While Tinubu can boast that he was instrumental in PMB becoming president, PMB can not say he’s been instrumental in achieving Tinubu’s presidency. No one should later say Tinubu won because he’s party is in power. He is fighting his battle himself.”
Her post triggered lots of her followers who wondered why she was bent on supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu despite the backlashes she had been receiving.
It is no longer news that Eniola Badmus has been one of the many Nollywood actresses who boldly flaunt their support for Asiwaju.
