Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has stated that Nigerians buy fuel at the lowest price in the world.
Badmus voiced her views during an interview on media personality Daddy Freeze’s Instagram live stream. To defend President Bola Tinubu, she referred to social media users as “keypad warriors.”
She said, “A lot of these keypad warriors do not even have an idea of what subsidy is. It was when they removed it that they knew what the government was doing. Even till now, I think we still buy the cheapest fuel in the world.”
She went on to explain her unflinching support for the President, saying, “I believe him so much; I have seen what he has done and what he is still going to do. I’ve never seen a philanthropist as good as our current president.”
Speaking enthusiastically, Badmus expressed her conviction in his leadership abilities and reiterated her support for him since he freely contributes.
“Whether he knows you or not, if Baba hears your problem, it’s solved. We need a cheerful giver, someone who has empathy for his people in his heart. We need someone who will understand us,” she said.
Badmus is well-known for her support of Nigeria’s president, particularly during his electoral campaign. She justified herself, fully knowing of the public’s displeasure with her decision, by saying, “I have a right to choose whoever, and until he leaves the position, I would stand by them.”
![Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities. The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault. The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said. The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force. The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas. Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her. Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes. On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said. “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.](https://chronicle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ezgif-6-4730550ede-450x300.jpg "Odiong: US-based Nigerian Catholic priest convicted over sexual assault")
