Last week, Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus broke down in tears and expressed her desire to have children of her own.
The 42-year-old actress wept during a “Feed The Needy” outreach – an initiative she organised in collaboration with the president’s son and entrepreneur Seyi Tinubu to support underserved communities in Lagos.
In the now-trending video, the actress addressed the audience: “Please always mention me 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.”
Badmus, who is special adviser to the Speaker of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Tajudeen Abass, continued: “Thank you today, always and forever.” Visibly fighting back tears, the actress poured out her heart, urging fans to keep her in their prayers.
In a 2016 interview with Encomium, Badmus revealed that she was dating but declined to share further details, emphasising that she did not want to rush into or out of marriage.
A circulated fake wedding photo in 2015 sparked marriage rumours, but she later debunked the news. Similarly, the actress issued disclaimers denying romantic links to rapper Iceberg Slim and singer Davido.
Her fans and supporters have encouraged her through prayers and messages of hope.
The actress, who is single, did not highlight how she intends to pursue her desires.
