    PLUS-SIZE actress, Akindele Olufunke Ayotunde, popularly known as Eniola Badmus recently joined the brand ambassador league. The Gbogbo Big Girls star joined the likes of Olamide , Ice Prince, and Francis Odega as brand ambassadors of Telco giant; Etisalat.  Her official campaign for the company was recently released online, even though she signed up with them a few weeks ago.

    The Instagram advert introducing her as the latest addition of Etisalat to their ambassadorial train has the buxom actress gorgeously adorned in traditional lace attire with a matching intricately tied headgear in a well stocked fabric shop, apparently in the role of a Lagos fabric merchant. She is chatting with an also gorgeously attired female. Her post hollers at the audience, urging them to get Etisalat Sims to enjoy lots of freebies, and goodies.

    She posted, “9ja!! Join us to welcome the newest member of the Etisalat Family @eniola_badmus. You still dey there? Shoe still dey wear you? Get that etisalat SIM today and begin to enjoy awoof berekete After all #WeAllWantMore#YouDeserveMore.”

    Enibad, as she is called by some fans also has a rascally persona, in spite of belonging to the elite league of educated Yoruba actresses. She holds a first degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Ibadan, and a Masters degree from the Lagos State University.

    ‘I’m not 37 years old,’ Eniola Badmus protests

    PLUS-SIZE Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus, got furious recently for being described as 37-year old. Not finding it funny, the actress took to Twitter account to vent her anger on those who thought she was that old.

    Urging rumour mongers to get their facts right before going public with them, she said, “Stop adding to my age. I can’t be older than my senior sisters and brothers. I repeat, I am not 37 years old. Get your facts right.”

    This is not the first time that the actress, known for her bluntness, will be condemning in plain terms, erroneous remarks being made about her person.

    It will be recalled that last year, when she was being criticized for her plump size, she said: “Why is my being big an issue to people? Okay, everybody has to be very very slim, right? In the U.S., they don’t discriminate like this o, it’s only in Nigeria people get worked up about being overweight…”

    Asked if her size has affected her career in anyway, she said, “On the contrary, that is what has been working for me. It is not easy to be big and famous. Instead of my weight being a drawback, it has actually been a blessing.a
