Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has recalled an incident in which she alleged that her colleague, Eniola Badmus, blocked a man who wanted to marry her from getting her contact.
Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo on #WithChude, she reflected on her past relationship with Eniola and the events that led to their fallout.
According to the actress, Eniola once got a call from a man who was interested in Laide and wanted her contact details. However, she claimed Eniola made the man promise to pay her before she would give out the actress’s number.
Laide recalled hearing the man begging Eniola to link him up with her, as he wanted to marry her and take care of her.
“Someone forced her to call me, saying, ‘I love Laide Bakare.’ She picked up and told me the man wanted to d%e on my neck. She said he would have to give her money before she gave him my contact.
The guy was so happy talking to me. I could hear him telling Eniola to give him my contact because he wanted to marry me and take care of me, but Eniola just cut off the phone,” she recounted.
Laide further alleged that when she called Eniola back to ask what happened, her colleague insisted that any man interested in her had to go through her and pay a huge amount.
She added that she later asked Eniola about the admirer, but the actress allegedly brushed off the question.
Reflecting on the incident, Laide wondered why Eniola would stop a man who could potentially take care of her from reaching her, asking what she had done to deserve such treatment.
Her account adds another layer to the ongoing public rift between the two actresses, whose once-close friendship has since broken down.
