Nollywood actress Mide Martins has got social media buzzing after sharing a throwback photo that gave fans a glimpse into her past while highlighting her stunning appearance today.
The actress shared the photos on Instagram on Thursday, September 3, 2026, as part of the popular #ThrowbackThursday trend. The carousel featured an old photograph of Mide alongside a recent professionally taken picture, drawing attention to the striking difference between the two moments.
In the throwback image, Mide is seen carrying a newborn while dressed in a white blouse and a dark-patterned headwrap. The more recent photograph, however, shows the actress looking glamorous in an elegant white traditional outfit.
She completed the sophisticated look with a large, beautifully styled white gele, layers of pearl necklaces and carefully done makeup, with professional studio lighting adding to the polished appearance.
Mide Martins appeared to be in a cheerful mood as she captioned the post with words of gratitude while also joking about her elaborate headgear.
“KASHAMADUPE…. 😊😊 TO GOD BE THE GLORY #throwbackthursday . SWIPE 👉….THIS MY GELE LASAN ISSA GAJU 🤣“
The post quickly attracted reactions from fans and followers, with many focusing on the actress’s transformation and how different she looked in the throwback picture compared with her recent appearance.
Born Mide Funmi Martins in 1979, the actress has established herself as a familiar face in Yoruba-language Nollywood productions. She became more prominent in the industry following the death of her mother, veteran actress Funmi Martins, in 2002.
Mide Martins is married to filmmaker Afeez Owo, and the couple has two children together. Over the years, she has maintained a strong presence in the Nigerian entertainment industry, both as an actress and a producer.
She has also continued to release and feature in movie projects, including her YouTube movie Iya, while maintaining a dedicated following across social media.
