Laide Bakare Rules Out Reconciliation With Eniola Badmus

 Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has ruled out the possibility of reconciling with her former friend and colleague, Eniola Badmus, following their latest public disagreement.

According to a report published by Daily Post on November 9, 2026, Bakare made her position clear during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where she was asked whether the two actresses could settle their differences.

“I don’t think so. I really don’t think so,” Bakare replied, adding that she had tolerated enough in their relationship.

During the conversation, Jideonwo reminded her that the actresses had once shared a close friendship. Bakare agreed, saying they had been friendly for a long time.

When asked why she had not approached Badmus to find out what went wrong, she responded, “I have seen more than enough.”

The interview follows a renewed disagreement between the actresses after Badmus reacted when Bakare’s name was mentioned during her appearance on Isbae U’s Curiosity Made Me Ask podcast.

TheCable reported on October 19, 2026, that Bakare criticised Badmus over her facial expression during the interview and accused her of repeatedly damaging her reputation.

Badmus later issued a public apology on Instagram on October 20, acknowledging that her reaction might have appeared dismissive and expressing a desire to make peace. The Guardian also reported on the apology and Bakare’s response on the same day.

However, Daily Post reported on October 21 that Bakare rejected the apology, describing it as fake in an Instagram post.

In a separate report published on November 7, New Telegraph revisited the actresses’ strained relationship, with Bakare recalling incidents from their friendship and explaining how their relationship deteriorated.

Her latest comments during the interview indicate that she is not ready to restore the friendship, despite Badmus’ earlier appeal for peace.
