Eniola Badmus Stands by Tinubu Despite Economic Hardship
Actress Eniola Badmus, who serves as the Special Assistant for Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has reaffirmed her support for President Bola Tinubu despite the ongoing economic struggles in the country.
Eniola, who actively campaigned for Tinubu before the 2023 presidential election, recently made it clear that her support for him remains unchanged. In a recent Instagram post, she wrote, “Still standing on Daddy Seyi’s mandate.”
Her statement sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians accusing her of being out of touch with the harsh realities faced by ordinary citizens due to the country’s struggling economy.
One user, Olori_Nini, commented, “This really isn’t the right time to post this. People are struggling and frustrated. It comes off as insensitive. You can support your candidate without making it feel like you’re mocking Nigerians.”
Another user, Oliver_Of_Lagos, said, “Anywhere belle face. Nothing lasts forever. The internet never forgets.”
Hypeman Ruby shared his frustration, saying, “As the breadwinner of my family, this mandate has only made things harder for me. I love you, Baddoskie, but this is tough.”
On the other hand, Alh_Alubarika defended Eniola, saying, “People need to relax. Everyone has their reasons. That’s her source of income. If any of us were in her position, we’d probably do the same.”
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
