Naija Metro had reported that Fagbure recently said in an interview that Eniola and actor Itele had no business making films for the cinema.
Without mentioning the critic by name, Eniola urged people on Instagram on Thursday to stay focused on their goals instead of discussing the success of others.
She wrote: “When others are succeeding and achieving great things in life, may we never waste our time sitting at the table of gossip, while neglecting our own purpose and the path we are meant to follow. Instead, may we stay focused, work diligently and let our Lives speak for us.
“EniolaAjao Tʜʀᴏᴡʙᴀᴄᴋᴛʜᴜʀsᴅᴀʏ stayfocused. letyourresultsdothetalking tooguidedtobedistracted”.
Her post came shortly after Fagbure’s interview, in which he also praised actress Wumi Toriola, describing her as better and wiser than Funke Akindele, Mercy Aigbe and Toyin Abraham.
Eniola has continued to build her profile as a cinema producer in recent years. Her debut cinema film Beast of Two Worlds (Ajakaju) was released in March 2024 and earned more than N101 million within its first five days in cinemas before going on to cross the N200 million mark at the Nigerian box office.
In 2025, the film received an Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards nomination in the Best Sound and Sound Design category. Reacting at the time, Eniola described the recognition as a major milestone, saying it was “a big deal” to her and that she was happy her work was being recognised.
She has since followed up with another cinema project, Owambe Thieves, and recently revealed that she sold her cars and land and also borrowed money to finance her journey as a cinema producer.
