<h2 style="text-align: start"><a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.pulse.ng/search-results?keywords=enioluwa"><strong>Nigerian influencer and media personality, Enioluwa</strong></a><strong>, has sparked a heated debate on Twitter (now X) after commenting on the growing scarcity of doctors in Nigeria.</strong></h2>

<p>His statement, which was made in response to the recent #MatchDay2025 celebrations, highlighted concerns over the mass emigration of medical professionals from the country. In his post, he expressed his concern about the number of doctors left and how it would affect patients.</p>

<p><i>"Very soon, there won't be enough Doctors to treat people in Nigeria. The best of that field will have left the country. Congratulations to you all on your #MatchDay2025. You deserve to exist in a country that rewards your hard work,"</i> the actor wrote.</p>

<p>His post sparked reactions on the microblogging platform, as would be expected. While some people agreed with him on the scarcity of medical personnel, others slammed him for saying that the 'best of the field' would be the ones leaving Nigeria; suggesting it undermined the competence of doctors who have remained in the country.</p>

<blockquote><p>Very soon? There’s not enough doctors right now.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Very soon??? Have you seen how little we are already in government hospitals??? Nobody Dey again</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>This statement is wrong Boss. It's insulting to those who are home doing their best with the limited resources. Na money never make some of them leave not brilliance. Please advocate and encourage those who are still around to care for our family home .</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>You can complain about the numbers but do not infer that the ones who left are better.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>What you are telling me is that the comprehension problem even affects educated doctors???? Because why are they reading this tweet as he is saying the best did not match!! Maybe it’s just anger and sadness, if not, we seriously have a problem.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Maybe just congratulate those that matched and move on. So the ones that stayed back in Nigeria are not good. Ehn ehn funny people.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>When people were saying 'leave them.' I was like no, you don't understand how things sink into the system. You might think it's on a base level but it's white supremacy in a way. They should close it down! It's so dumb how we're being racist to ourselves in our country, you think that this person is superior to you.</p></blockquote>

<p>Enioluwa also highlighted the issue of colorism, stating that he actively calls out any discriminatory attitudes based on skin tone.</p>

<blockquote><p>Any subtle racism I encounter I can lose sleep over it and I'm not even joking, in my own country?&nbsp;How can someone think I'm lesser than them because of the colour of my skin. That's a problem. Even colourism, I shut it down. Nobody is higher than you.</p></blockquote>

<p>His post sparked conversations about how African talents are often measured against Western figures rather than being celebrated for their unique achievements.</p>

<blockquote><p>Taraji P. Henson and Funke Akindele are both incredibly talented actresses, but they have different career paths and audiences. Taraji is a Hollywood icon with major roles in films like Hidden Figures, The Color Purple, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button so never compare</p></blockquote>

He calls for African stars to be appreciated on their own terms, without unnecessary comparisons.

<p>Entertainment Week Lagos (EWL) returned for another year, shining a spotlight on Nigeria's creative economy and the voices shaping the industry. Designed as a platform to celebrate and inspire creatives, EWL fosters engaging discussions, showcases bold ideas, and amplifies the stories of innovators in entertainment, media, and the arts.</p><p>The third day of Entertainment Week Lagos (EWL) shined a spotlight on the rapidly evolving content creation industry, with a panel featuring <strong>Korty EO (Filmmaker/YouTuber), Enioluwa Adeoluwa (Digital Creator/Filmmaker), Hauwa Lawal (Content Creator/Screenwriter), Yhemo Lee (Actor/Nightlife Enthusiast), Hawa Magaji (TV/Event Host), </strong>and<strong> Kanyinsola Aroyewun (Director of Marketing Communications and Content Growth, Pulse Africa).</strong> Together, they delivered exactly what the audience came for—bold truths, practical advice, and some laugh-out-loud moments.</p><p><br></p>

<p>As Nigeria’s creative economy continues to gain global recognition, the panel took a look into the factors fueling its explosive growth.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Korty EO</strong> set the tone with a call for authenticity: <i>“Longevity depends on being true to your story. Trends come and go, but your unique perspective keeps you relevant.”</i> <strong>Hauwa Lawal </strong>echoed this, urging creators to find inspiration in everyday life without overexposing themselves: “<i>Great stories are everywhere—start by observing the world around you.”</i></p><p><br></p>

<p><strong>Yhemo Lee</strong>, reflecting on his journey, emphasized originality and relatability in content creation: <i>"You need to understand that people are watching, and social media has a wide reach. I started off in 2016 on IG as a funny guy, and suddenly, other funny content creators emerged. You won’t be the only one doing something forever—new people will always come. Carve a niche for yourself and know what works best for you."</i></p>

<p>The conversation shifted to monetization and strategic growth. Korty advised creators to focus on personal branding as a magnet for collaborations: <i>“Strategically position yourself; brands will come to you when your identity is clear.” </i>Enioluwa shared practical insights on scaling: <i>“Content creation is expensive, so it shouldn’t be your main hustle at first.

<h2>Nollywood actor and social media personality Enioluwa has explained why the Nigerian film industry uses the 'same faces' in movies.</h2>

<p>It all began on November 11, 2024, when an X user reacted to actress <strong>Jemima Osunde</strong>'s post on X regarding the new YouTube film <strong><em>Fame and Fury, </em></strong>saying<strong><em>, </em></strong><em>"I'm sincerely tired of seeing the same faces in this damn industry." </em></p>

<p>The actress did not take her comment lightly and retorted, saying, "<em>We’re tired of seeing your face too in your office. Damn! I hope they sack you."</em></p>

<div class="embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I&#39;m sincerely tired of seeing the same faces in this damn industry <a href="https://t.co/L2rKSIGIz6">https://t.co/L2rKSIGIz6</a></p>&mdash; salamalekun bitches (@95andbeyond) <a href="https://twitter.com/95andbeyond/status/1855957257998958938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 11, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

</div>

<p>Enioluwa then took to X to address the notion of Nollywood using familiar faces in films, stressing that it happens because of finances.</p>

<p>He wrote,<em> "People often say they’re tired of seeing the same faces in Nigerian films. However, unlike in Hollywood, actors in Nigeria can’t afford to do just one film a year—how much are they paying? The industry currently can’t support as many newcomers as people might expect because, realistically, many of them wouldn’t be able to meet even their basic needs. No one wants to be famous and financially unstable."</em></p>

<p>Another X user responded to him, asking for solutions,<em> "</em>You made a crucial point there but you didn't suggest any solution," he commented.</p>

Nevertheless, you can’t equate it to Hollywood, an Avengers that made over $2 billion that can pay its actors millions of dollars and still have enough profit.</em></p>

<h2>Influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa has condemned the violence and harassment of members of the LBGTQ community in Nigeria.</h2>

<p>Taking to his X account on May 1, 2024, Enioluwa responded to a viral clip of a male crossdresser being assaulted by bystanders, calling the treatment "<em>inhumane</em>." He wrote a message stressing the importance of leaving other people to live their lives in peace regardless of their orientation.</p>

<p>He said, <em>"It is inhumane. It is unjust, and it is unkind to pick up a plank and hit another human because you do not agree with their choices or sexual orientation. Leave people alone. Everyone deserves to live their life without the fear of violence or harassment and, most notably, physical Violence.’"</em></p>

<h2>Priscilla Ojo, daughter of popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, has cleared the air on her relationship with social media influencer Enioluwa.</h2>

<p>Speaking with <strong><em>Punch </em></strong>Newspaper, the social media influencer asserted that she and Enioluwa are just friends. She cleared the air as a result of the frequent speculations that she and her counterpart are in a <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/iyabo-ojos-daughter-priscilla-says-she-is-too-young-to-have-a-boyfriend/jd9hjbk">romantic relationship</a>.</p>

<p>In her words,&nbsp;<em>"When people see a male and female together, they just assume that they are dating.

It is normal for people to make assumptions, so I don't really let it get to me. Enioluwa is actually my best friend."</em></p>

<p>She maintained that she does not allow people's assumptions to get to her because they are often untrue, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@pulsenigeria247/video/7262404421844258053">her relationship with Enioluwa</a> is strictly platonic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This narrative of the two being in a romantic relationship has been a frequent report making rounds on social media whenever the two are seen together. This is especially because they have been seen traveling the world together recently, and in matching outfits too.</p>

<p>She said<em>, "I have learned to ignore and not focus my energy on things like that. Rather, I channel my energy into positive things, such as making money. Sometimes, negative comments can work in a positive way. When people talk about one, it means one is important."&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>The unbothered entrepreneur has stated that her focus is placed on her growing businesses, rather than the hateful comments she receives online.</p>
