Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has fired back at movie critic Tolu Fagbure after he questioned her talent, saying, “I’m not stopping anytime soon.”
The thespian, who features predominantly in Yoruba movies, responded to the criticism on recentky in a now-trending post she shared on her official X (formerly Twitter) page.
Earlier, Fagbure, during a candid interview on Agbaletu TV, claimed that the movie star had been leveraging her good looks but possessed no talent as an actor.
Asked to judge Eniola Ajao’s acting skills, Fagbure responded, “That one doesn’t have any business in the cinema with her ‘Ajakaju’. Of course, she is from the same block as Odunlade Adekola.
“I don’t think her acting has a place. I don’t think that is acting at all. She has a fine face, plastic delivery. The only thing she has going for her is her fine face; that’s admirable. I don’t think she has talent, let alone developing it into a skill.”

When the interviewer asked, “Really? Is this not too brutal?”
Fagbure doubled down, “That’s my opinion. My opinion is not sacrosanct; my opinion is not the end.”
Reacting to Fagbure’s remarks, Eniola Ajao reiterated that she will continue to do what she knows best and build her career.
Taking to her verified handle, the Nollywood star wrote, “Ahhh, so my fine face is the only thing carrying me? After all these years?
“I will just keep doing what I know how to do: work, grow and let the audience decide. After all, opinions are free, but careers are built.
“Cinema or no cinema, I’m not stopping anytime soon. Ire oo.”
