Popular social media influencer and actor, Enioluwa Adeoluwa, has stirred heated conversations online after “unveiling” his Tanzanian girlfriend, Phina.
The actor shared a video on social media, showing the moment he welcomed her at the Lagos airport with a bouquet of flowers.
Phina could then be seen running into his arms before the two embraced warmly; a scene that instantly went viral and set social media buzzing.
Within hours, the post generated divided opinions among fans and followers. While many congratulated him for finally going public with his relationship, others questioned the authenticity of the romantic display.
On X, formerly Twitter, a user wrote, “Who does Eni think he is fooling?” Another added, “They looked more like besties rather than lovers.”
The scepticism spilt into chat forums as well, with one Nairaland user commenting, “Tanzania carry him bestie. Him too he carry their own,” while another quipped, “Girl-friend I guess. Hahahahha.” Not everyone was critical, though. Some fans were swept away by the affection in the video, with one admirer writing, “They’re so cuteeee.”
Though Enioluwa’s circle of friends has not shared their thoughts, they are usually quick to cheer him on. When he previously made his close friendship with Priscilla Ojo public, she responded with an emotional, “I’m still crying,” while celebrity chef, Hilda Baci, playfully commented on an earlier cozy moment between Enioluwa and Ghanaian entertainer, Efia Odo, saying, “We are ready ooo, say the word.”
The reaction to this new chapter in his life underscores the challenges that come with being in the public eye. In a recent reflection, Enioluwa noted that, “Every moment is captured, every smile is analyzed,” hinting at the pressure that comes with putting his personal life under the spotlight.
