2026 Week 08 Women Crush Wednesday - Eniola Badmus

This week, our Woman Crush Wednesday is the unstoppable and multi-talented Eniola Badmus. A veteran whose career has spanned over two decades, Eniola is the definition of a "power player" in the Nigerian entertainment and political landscape. From her iconic breakout as 'Gbogbo Big Girl' to her current role as a policymaker, she continues to prove that there are no limits to what a determined woman can achieve.

Eniola first stole our hearts with her unforgettable comedic timing and larger-than-life energy in the classic Jenifa (2008) and later in the record-breaking Omo Ghetto franchise. For years, she was the go-to actress for roles that required grit, humor, and a commanding screen presence. However, Eniola’s true strength lies in her ability to evolve.

In 2024 and 2025, she underwent a widely celebrated physical transformation, losing over 80kg—a journey she shared with transparency and grace, inspiring millions to prioritize their health. But her evolution didn't stop at her appearance. Eniola has successfully transitioned into the world of public service, currently serving as the Special Assistant on Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. She is effectively bridging the gap between the creative industry and the corridors of power.

Her cinematic run remains as strong as ever. In early 2026, she once again dominated the headlines with the premiere of the romantic drama Love and New Notes, where she stars alongside Timini Egbuson. Beyond the screen, her heart for the people shines through her "Feed the Needs" philanthropic initiative, which continues to provide essential support to vulnerable communities across Nigeria.

What makes Eniola Badmus our crush this week is her relentless resilience. She has navigated the highs and lows of fame with a thick skin and a warm heart, consistently reinventing herself while staying true to her "Baddy" persona. She is an actress, a content creator, a producer, and a public servant—a true multifaceted queen who isn't afraid to take up space and make her voice heard.

This week, we celebrate Eniola for her monumental growth, her philanthropic spirit, and her enduring legacy in Nollywood. She is proof that you can change your story at any time and come out even stronger!
