Nigerian actress and media personality Bamike Olawunmi marked her birthday on Thursday, April 23, 2026, with an online celebration that drew messages from fans and colleagues across the entertainment industry.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate shared a series of photographs on her social media pages to commemorate the occasion. Her comment section quickly filled with goodwill messages, including a notable post from Chioma Adeleke, who wrote, “Happy birthday Bambam.”
Responding publicly, BamBam replied, “Thank you so much sis.”
Addressing the outpouring of support, the actress wrote, “I have felt so much love today… my heart is truly full. Thank you for every message, every prayer, every post, every call. I don’t take any of it for granted.” She added, “Another year, another layer of growth, grace, and becoming. God has been so faithful, and I’m walking into this new chapter with a full heart and open hands.”
The celebration also drew attention due to a gesture by Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe. On the same day, he announced plans to organise a birthday surprise for BamBam, asking followers for suggestions and inviting them to contribute to a wishlist that included clothing, wigs, and gadgets. He also proposed hosting a small gathering in a library setting.
The move generated mixed reactions on social media. While some users described the gesture as thoughtful, others questioned its timing in light of ongoing speculation about BamBam’s marriage to fellow reality star Teddy A. Arukwe had earlier addressed similar rumours in an interview, stating that his relationship with BamBam remained professional.
