Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus is celebrating Nigeria’s 65th anniversary.
The movie star, via her Instagram page, shared photos of herself at the Nigerian Embassy in the UK. She revealed that taking the picture at the embassy reminded her that no matter where we find ourselves, we carry Nigeria with us.
Eniola said anytime she sees our flag wave, whether in Lagos or London, it stirs something deep within her. She explained that the flag is more than colours, but a story of a people who fought for freedom, overcame trials, and continue to ride with resilience, hope, and pride.
She added that as Nigeria celebrates its independence, she reflects on how far they’ve come and the brighter future that lies ahead. She said the future is built on unity, courage, and the unshakable Nigerian spirit.
“Whether at home or abroad, the Nigerian spirit lives in us. Shooting this picture at the Nigerian Embassy in the UK reminded me that no matter where we find ourselves, we carry Nigeria with us.
Every time I see our flag wave – whether in Lagos or London – it stirs something deep within me. It’s more than colours, it’s the story of a people who fought for freedom, overcame trials, and continue to ride with resilience, hope, and pride.
Today, as we celebrate our independence, I reflect on how far we’ve come and the brighter future that lies ahead. A future built on unity, courage, and the unshakable Nigerian spirit.
Happy Independence Day to our beloved country, Nigeria. Happy 65th Independence Day”.
Last month, Badmus came under massive fire over photos of herself allegedly speaking at the United Nations General Assembly UNGA. Many flooded her comment section, calling out her lies and fake lifestyle as they noted how the photos she shared online are from the Nigerian Embassy.
In another post, Badmus revealed that she was invited as a special guest to the UNGABO Side Event Series in New York. Eniola said the invitation wasn’t just a moment, it’s a milestone that is shaping her career, expanding her network and unlocking global possibilities.
Last year May, following her support for President Tinubu during the election, Badmus was appointed the Special Assistant to the Speaker of The Federal Republic of Nigeria on Social Events and Public Hearing.
While confirming her appointment, Eniola appreciated Abbas for the political appointment as she expressed how honoured she was to be given such an opportunity to serve under his leadership.
In July, the actress officially resumed her duty. She had shared photos of her and the Senator from their meeting with Senate President Godswill Akpabio at the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) in Abuja.
In May of this year, while sharing photos of herself in her office, Eniola shared a message with Nigerians, admonishing them to walk in unity, pride, and purpose. She made them realise that the power to shape their future rests in their hands.
