Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has publicly called out her colleague, Eniola Badmus, over a comment she made online.
Opeyemi recently posted a video talking to her fans. In the video, people could see that she had lost some hair at the front of her head. Eniola, who now works as a special assistant to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass, left a comment asking what happened to Opeyemi’s front hair.
She wrote
“Ope where is your front hair???”
Opeyemi did not like the comment and quickly replied with a video of her own. In the video, she said that Eniola had no right to make such comments, especially since she had faced similar hair problems before. She accused Eniola of body shaming her.
Opeyemi also mentioned that Eniola had never liked or commented on her posts in the past, so she found it surprising and hurtful that Eniola chose to speak up just to make fun of her hair.
In 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.”
This drama has caught the attention of fans, as both women are well-known Nollywood stars.
