Eniola Badmus Should Be The Last Person To Bodyshame Anyone – Opeyemi Aiyeola

Nollywood actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola has come out to blast her colleague, Eniola Badmus over a comment she left on her page. After Opeyemi posted a video that revealed her hair loss, Eniola decided to ask what happened to her front hair.

Reacting, Aiyeola wrote that Eniola Badmus should be the last person to bodyshame anyone since she suffered the same fate a few years ago, and she did not expect such interaction from her when they are not even friends.

Opeyemi added that there was nothing funny about the comment, and it only proves that she is an animal.

Her words, “This livestream is for Eniola Badmus. I’ve decided not to pay attention to wailing wailers. I’ve decided not to pay attention to ignorant and evil set of people. I understand the way social media is and I know there are a lot of animals in human form but I’ve only decided to reply to Eniola Badmus.

That is the comment she dropped on one of my videos with a lot of likes from ignorant people like herself. Eniola, it should not have been you. You used to be an image of ridicule and bodyshaming on social media, to now think that you who has experienced the hurt and pain of bodyshaming, could come under my video.

You have never helped in promoting anything that has to do with me, you rarely drop comments on my videos, you rarely like my videos or interact on anything that has to do with me, but for you, Eniola Badmus, to come under my post and drop this comment, I swear to God that you’re an animal. I am not ignorant of the fact that there are many evil people out there, but not somebody of your calibre, especially someone that has felt the shame of bodyshaming.

What exactly is funny? What exactly was that statement for? You’re beautiful Eniola? You see yourself in the mirror and what you see is beauty? You think a person’s physical appearance is all beauty is about? You are ignorant. The only thing you have expressed is your ignorance and who you are and I pity the people who have you around as their friend.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
