Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus became emotional during a public event on Thursday, expressing her deep desire to become a mother.
The 42-year-old actress, known for her bold personality, revealed this while speaking at a charity event in Lagos.
The outreach, called “Feed The Needy,” was organized by Eniola in partnership with Seyi Tinubu. It aimed to support underserved communities, drawing a large crowd at Temidire Primary School in Shogunle, Oshodi.
In a now-viral video, Eniola addressed the audience with tears in her eyes. She said, “Please always mention me, Eniola Badmus, in your prayers. I’m waiting upon the Lord for children. Please pray for me and more opportunities so that I can serve you better. With your prayers and God by my side, I will work continuously with you all and achieve a brighter and more prosperous tomorrow for many of our people.”
She also took time to honour her late father, Mr. Badmus, who passed away seven years ago.
Asking for a moment of silence, she said, “Before I drop the mic, I would like to have a one-minute prayer for my father, who left seven years ago.
“I hope you (listeners) know my heart will belong to this community. No matter how far I go, low or high, I rise; my root is here. My father’s compound is at number one, Fakuade Street. My father was a two-time counsellor in this community. He instilled in me a proper love for our people and the importance of service. I am yours, Shogunle; I am yours, now and always, and I promise never to abandon you.”
Eniola, who serves as a Special Adviser to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass, ended her speech with gratitude to her supporters and promised to remain dedicated to the community.
Beyond Boders recalls that in 2016, the actress revealed in an interview that she was in a relationship, but wanted to take her time before settling down.
Despite rumours about her personal life, including fake wedding photos and alleged links to entertainers like Iceberg Slim and Davido, she has consistently denied the claims.
Fans and well-wishers have since flooded social media with prayers and words of encouragement, urging the actress to stay strong as she waits for her dream of motherhood to come true.
