EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND
The busty actress was born in Ijebu Ode, Ogun state, of Nigeria, she is one of the well educated Yoruba actresses around as she attended her primary and secondary school education in her hometown.

Eniola is a Graduate of Theatre Arts from the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria; she also holds a Second Degree from the Lagos State University (LASU)
In an interview she mentioned;
"I went to series of primary schools. I started with Maryland Convent School and I left for Air Force Primary School and then to Adeola Elementary School in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, after which I went to Anglican Girls Grammar School in Ijebu Ode and then I had my first degree at the University of Ibadan where I studied Theatre Arts and later I went to Lagos State University for my second degree, which I have just concluded. My parents were neither poor nor rich but we were comfortable and I mingled with all sorts of people and that helped me grow up well. I am from a polygamous home and I am the 12th of my father's children and I am the last born of my mother. I am an Ijebu girl with an Egba mother."
According to her; when she first told her parents she wanted to act they totally disagreed and all they wanted for her was to go to school, come out and get a good job. But she told them she will do better in the movie industry. Even while she went to location way back then, they will be looking for her. When she gets home, it is either one problem or the other. It got to a point She doesn't tell them she is going to a movie location. Her mother in particular never wanted her to be an actress. But shortly after, she started supporting her. That was in 2003. Not full support though. "They were like let's see what she can bring out of it". They did not want her to do it.
In her words;
"But thank God that today my father understands that it is what I love to do and he allowed me to do what I love doing. My mum is late now but before she died, she supported it and gave me words of encouragement."

Speaking On Her Fashion& Make Ups
When I am not going out, I don't wear make up. But I am a very colourful person and I like colourful things. In the whole of the make up, my favourite is the eye shadow. I really take my time to wear it. You know I am big but I am not fat so I try to make my face as attractive as I can and I play with colours, especially the bright ones. Where I am going determines the kind of make up I wear. If I am going for corporate business, my make up will be calm. When I am going for show business, I wear the make up that says flaunt it if you got it.
Speaking On Her Size;
Have you ever thought of losing weight?
Why is this my being big an issue to people? Okay, everybody has to be very very slim, right? In the US they don’t discriminate like this o, it’s only in Nigeria people get worked up about being overweight. I understand it is not healthy to be overweight at all, but should it be an issue as a lifestyle?
Speaking On Relationship
Are you currently in any relationship?
Yes, obviously, I would have someone I’m dating; I’ll have somebody I’m planning marriage with, even if I’m not planning marriage, at least I have somebody I’m seeing.
What do you find attractive in a man?
I just like a regular guy that has talent, even if he does not have talent, he has to be intelligent. A regular man, an average man; but please no body odour and no mouth odour, such are very important to me.
