Eniola Badmus, a popular Nollywood actress, has stirred controversy on social media with her impolite response to her senior colleague, Fathia Williams. Eniola took to her instagram page to announce her new name, which is reminiscent of the backlash she received for supporting President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 general election. In the post, Eniola revealed that she has renamed herself "Ebudola," which roughly translates to "insults have turned to wealth and riches." She shared lovely new photos of herself with the caption, "EBUDOLA ........ My new name."
Eniola's post sparked a ton of reactions from her followers, including actress Fathia Balogun, who heaved a heavy sigh in the comment section, writing "Hmmmmmm." In response, the 40-year-old actress hit back at her senior colleague, asking "mama who die ooo?"
Some of Eniola's followers took offense to her comment and criticized her for being disrespectful towards Fathia Williams, and behaving as though they had a pre-existing conflict. One user, @glowbymo, wrote, "I don't understand why she always replies negatively most times. Does 'hmmm' mean anything? Asking her who died." Another user, @charming_termi, wrote, "That was a harsh reply to a colleague. Abi una don get issue before wey we no know."
However, some users defended Eniola's response and praised her new name. One user, @___oshor, wrote, "Walai nobody die ooooh, your new name is deep and strong." Another user, @tiarathriftboutique, joked, "Aunty Ebu be calming down oooo."
The exchange between Eniola Badmus and Fathia Williams has sparked a debate on social media about respect and professionalism in the Nigerian entertainment industry. Many fans are calling for actors and actresses to treat each other with more respect and avoid unnecessary drama.
