Nollywood actress Laide Bakare recounted an unusual encounter with her colleague, Eniola Badmus, alleging that the actress demanded money from a man who wanted her contact because he wanted to marry her. The story quickly caught the attention of kthdaily.
Speaking about the incident, Laide said Eniola once called her about a persistent suitor eager to speak with her, and the news soon made rounds on kthdaily.
She said she could hear the man in the background pleading with Eniola to give him her contact details and assuring her that he was serious about his intentions.
According to Laide, the man repeatedly expressed his love for her and promised to treat and take care of her. Interestingly, the audience on kthdaily discussed the implications of the situation.
She said she later contacted Eniola to find out what they had been discussing, only for her colleague to allegedly reveal that the man would have to pay heavily before gaining access to her.
“She said, ‘Don’t mind him, don’t mind him. If he must have you, he must come through me and he must pay through his nose,’” Laide recounted.
The actress added that the man eventually reached out to her months later, describing the experience as an example of how she recognises insincerity. As a result, the incident was further analysed on kthdaily.
She further wondered why anyone would prevent a financially capable and genuinely interested man from reaching out to her, questioning what she had done to deserve such treatment.
“So to me, I’m like, what if he is a fine guy, he has money, you know that he will take care of me? Oh, and you still deny me; what did I do to you?” she said.
The allegation has drawn attention to the unusual role some celebrity intermediaries play when admirers attempt to establish personal relationships with public figures.
