Eniola Badmus Applauds Tinubu’s Economic Shift Amidst Rising Hardship
Nollywood star Eniola Badmus has commended the direction of Nigeria’s economy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership.
According to her, the country is seeing a positive shift, with reduced imports and increased exports—a development she believes points to economic growth and a move from a consumption-based to a production-oriented economy.
Sharing her views on Instagram, Badmus highlighted that for the year-to-date in 2024, Nigeria’s imports amounted to N24.44 trillion, while exports hit N38.59 trillion.
This results in a remarkable trade surplus of over N14 trillion within just eight months.
She emphasized that this kind of surplus is unprecedented in Nigeria’s economic history, underscoring the country’s progress under Tinubu’s administration.
Her remarks come at a time when many Nigerians are facing significant economic challenges, with inflation and the rising cost of living sparking widespread concern.
Just last month, large protests, dubbed the ‘End Hunger Protests,’ saw millions of Nigerians voicing their frustrations over the worsening economic hardship.
Despite these struggles, Badmus remains optimistic about the direction in which the economy is heading, believing that the focus on increasing production over consumption is a crucial step forward for the nation’s long-term stability.
In her view, this shift is a sign of hope for the future, even as the country grapples with the immediate difficulties that many are currently facing.
She hopes that these changes will eventually translate into broader relief for Nigerians and more sustainable economic growth.

“Uncle Burna, I Have More Hits Than You” – Portable Claims He Has More Hits Than Burna Boy
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely recognized as Portable, recently started conversations online with a bold claim: he believes he has more hit songs than his Grammy-winning colleague, Burna Boy.
The self-proclaimed “Zazu” star confidently expressed his view in a circulating video, asserting his place as a stronger hitmaker in the Nigerian music scene.
In the video, Portable said he wasn’t merely bragging but genuinely felt he had an edge in hit songs over Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu.
Portable mentioned tracks like his single “Tony Montana” as examples of his success, directly challenging Burna Boy’s standing in the industry.
“Uncle Burna, I have more hits than you,” he stated, underscoring his claim with his signature blend of humor and confidence.
Burna Boy, an internationally recognized artist with Grammy and BET Awards under his belt, has established a global presence in recent years, known for major hits like “Ye,” “Last Last,” and “On the Low.”
His albums have received wide acclaim and have cemented him as one of Nigeria’s biggest music exports.
Despite Burna Boy’s achievements, Portable, known for his raw, street-style music and unique personality, feels that his consistent releases resonate just as strongly within Nigeria and claims his music holds its own among fans.
