By Kehinde Okeowo
Comic actor and plus-size actress, Eniola Badmus has disclosed that the pick of the bunch among her friends in the movie industry is Funke Akindele.
The movie marker made this revelation and many more in an interview with The Will recently.
Eniola in the chat added that though she has other friends, she is closer to Funke. She also admitted that a lot of her colleagues in Nollywood are merely casual friends.
In her words: “When you say friends, maybe your definition of friendship is not my definition of friendship. I have friends. There are people that I exchange pleasantries with. I think I have more of those people in the industry.
“The closest person to me is Funke Akindele-Bello. I have other people like Bimbo Thomas and Iyabo Ojo. It is just that I know the level of friendship I have with everyone.
” I relate with people at different levels, I must tell you the truth. I can’t be sitting here and lying that I have the same rapport with everyone.
” It is not possible. Even God did not create all of us equal. There are some people that you will like more than the other person. That is life”.
The 44-year-old comic actress also used the opportunity to set the record straight, debunking rumor of a rift between her and another Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo.

When confronted with her recent social media outburst against the actress, she had this to say;
” That is quite recent. I am talking about some years ago. We have been together for a very long time. I don’t have issues with anyone. If you have issues with me, then you have a problem. Iyabo Ojo is one of the people I can point to and say I have people in the industry”,
Eniola, who is set to celebrate her 20 years in Nollywood with a party and launch of a book, recently embarked on a weight loss program.
Her best friend, Funke Akindele has since gushed over her new look on her Instagram page, jokingly saying she has to hit the gym to catch up with her gorgeous shape.
