Actresses Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele have melted hearts online after sharing a touching moment at Toke Makinwa’s daughter’s dedication in Lagos.
In a viral clip making the rounds on social media, Toyin Abraham was seen kneeling to greet Funke Akindele, sparking smiles and applause from guests at the event.
The brief yet powerful gesture was widely interpreted as a sign of humility and reconciliation between the two Nollywood powerhouses, who were once rumoured to be at odds.
Fans and industry watchers have long compared the two actresses for their box-office success, versatility, and influence in the Nigerian film industry.
The star-studded dedication ceremony, held on Sunday, was attended by top celebrities such as Tiwa Savage, Mercy Eke, Priscilla Ojo, Enioluwa, Eniola Badmus, and Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
The viral video has since flooded social media platforms with positive comments and admiration for both stars.
One X user wrote, “This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, peace between two queens of Nollywood.”
Another fan, Victor Ogbaegbe, commented, “These are lovely to see, honestly.”
Luckibaby added, “Amazing moments.”
Temi wrote, “Awwwn,” while Nonyjay simply said, “Lovely.”
Last year, Funke Akindele achieved another career milestone as her film Everybody Loves Jenifa grossed over ₦1.8 billion at the Nigerian box office, making her the highest-grossing filmmaker in Nollywood history.
Meanwhile, Toyin Abraham is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated movie, Over Sabi Aunty, which is set to premiere this December.
