Eniola Ajao reacts as movie critic questions her acting talent

Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has responded to criticisms from movie critic Tolu Fagbure regarding her acting career.

In an interview aired on Agbaletu, Fagbure expressed strong opinions about Ajao’s abilities, stating, “That one doesn’t have 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 skill.”

When questioned about the harshness of his remarks, Fagbure insisted, “That’s my opinion. My opinion is not sacrosanct; my opinion is not the end.”

In light of these comments, Ajao took to social media platform X to share her thoughts. She 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.”

The exchange highlights ongoing discussions about talent and criticism within the film industry.
