Eniola Badmus is a Nigerian actress, script writer, and a social media influencer from Ogun state born on September 7, 1976, and currently aged 47 years old.\u00a0She gained public attention in 2008 following her appearance in the movie Jenifa<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Eniola Badmus is not the regular average Nollywood actress, her talent obviously speaks for her. The big and bold actress has made a name in both Nollywood Yoruba and English movies and this didn’t happen overnight. \u201cEnibad\u201d (as she is fondly called by her fans) first trained as a theatre arts student before getting started as an actress. Even at that, she had to sojourn for close to a decade before she had her big break in the industry.<\/p>\n Eniola Badmus was born on September 7, 1976, in the Center of Excellence in Nigeria, Lagos State, but she hails from Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, in the Western Region of Nigeria. While details about Eniola’s mother are yet to be uncovered, we know of her father whose name is Pa. Olalekan Badmus Ogunsina. He died of natural causes on March 2, 2020. His last words to Eniola were prayers he made to her on his death bed, just before he gave up the ghost.<\/p>\n Eniola is the first of two children of her parents. Her younger sibling is Oluwatomisin Badmus. She goes by Tomi Badmus for short. Her identity was unveiled by the star actress who could not help but sing her sister’s praise during one of her birthday anniversaries. Tomi is a graduate of the University of Lagos. She is not into acting or any form of entertainment and therefore is in no way famous like her big sister is.<\/p>\n She grew up in Lagos and had all her basic education there. Upon completing her secondary school education, she moved to Ibadan, in Oyo State where she studied theatre arts at the prestigious University of Ibadan (UI). After obtaining a BA in theatre arts, she moved to Lagos State University (LASU) for a second degree, this time, in Economics.<\/p>\n The star we know today as “Enibad” is one of the many actresses who figured out their acting talent in their early years. To further prepare herself for the career, she opted to study theatre arts at the university. And it did not take long before her dreams came to fruition. While it is not clear where the actress had her first work experience before starting her acting career, apparently, she joined the Nigerian movie industry in the year 2000.<\/p>\n With her mind preset on pursuing her dream of becoming a professional actress, Eniola Badmus knew all she had to do was to focus on her ambitions. To show how committed she was to become an actress, she immediately registered under the Nigerian movie industry shortly after she graduated from school.<\/p>\n Eniola Badmus got her first acting role in 2000 but it was only a minor one. She continued to take on more minor roles until 2008 when she hit the spotlight with a major role in Funke Akindele\u2019s Jenifa<\/em>. It was from here that she earned the nickname \u201cGbogbo Bigz Girl\u201d. Her role in Jenifa<\/em> did change her career from that moment onward.<\/p>\n The year 2008 was indeed her breakthrough year. Just after starring in Jenifa<\/em> that helped kick off her impressive acting career for good, she also starred in the\u00a0Omo Ghetto<\/i> franchise which was the sequel to the 2010 trilogy film Omo Ghetto<\/i>. Enibad’s role as “Busty” in the gangster comedy film helped to cement her breakout in the Yoruba movie segment of Nollywood. The actress is still maintaining her role in the second film of the Omo Ghetto<\/i> franchise co-directed by Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz.<\/p>\nEniola Badmus Bio Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n
