Nollywood star Eniola Badmus has sparked online debate after posting photos of herself at what she described as the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Eniola, who is also an aide to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to speak at the event. She shared that her address focused on innovation, gender inclusion, and collaborative efforts toward a sustainable energy future.

“I’m grateful to have participated in the Future Africa Forum 2025 at The Africa Centre, powered by Afreximbank’s Global Africa Gateway,” she wrote. “It was an amazing chance to engage with and learn from young leaders driving Africa’s progress. The discussions, partnerships, and networks formed here are invaluable, and I look forward to seeing how they foster new opportunities for the continent’s growth.”

While many praised the actress for her accomplishment, some social media users questioned her claims. Critics argued that the photos were actually taken at the Nigerian Embassy in New York, not the UNGA.

One X user wrote, “This is the Nigerian Embassy in New York (Nigerian House), not the UN Building. It wasn’t a #UNGA event, and she did not speak there. The clout chasing is excessive.”

@agbatruthtalk:”Iro ti baye awon APC je! To qualify as a member, you are either an ex-convict, a fraudster, or a deep liar. Eniola Badmus is a deep liar. She was busy saying “thank you and amen” to people who didn’t know she was lying.”

“Chai. Eniola Badmus just disgraced herself with that IG post. Why would you even attempt to show yourself as what you’re not??? Lifetime mocking material..”

@onyekanwelue:”You people need to leave Eniola Badmus alone. Have you people not forgotten the one who said he was UN Ambassador? He reinvents himself every 4 years!”
