Iyabo Ojo, a Nollywood actress, has discussed the ongoing conflict between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham, two of her closest friends.
Funke ignored Toyin’s welcome at Iyabo Ojo’s film presentation on Sunday. Funke was seen sitting with Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe when Toyin arrived to welcome them in a widely shared video. When Funke disregarded Toyin’s greeting, many were taken aback and Toyin felt ashamed.
“For those of you maligning my character, insulting me, and calling me unprintable names, this is for you!! Now, I need to set the record straight. This is the first and last time I will be talking about anything like this…… Funke and I have been friends for the longest, but there were times we fell out, fault on both sides. I once came online to drag Funke because of Toyin’s movie. That was a wrong move on my part; I should have handled it better. Funke and I later made up, addressed all our issues, and put them behind us. I tried my very best to settle both of them, cried, knelt, and begged both parties to embrace peace, which they later did. That’s why you saw them a few months ago interacting with one another. Still, there was a condition, no one was to shade online if any issue arose, they both promised to address it off camera, but unfortunately, Dec came, Toyin made some complaints about her movie in cinemas, claiming some people or a person was trying to sabotage her, some fans pointed accusing fingers towards Funke, which sparked up a fresh beef.
About The Return of Arinzo, Toyin was supposed to be in it, but she said she was exhausted. She also had to travel, so she pulled out at the last minute. I was upset because it cost me a alot to rewrite the story. Still, the show must go on, we had a deadline to film if I wanted The Return of Arinzo to make 3rd of April ……. she apologised, we made up, and the rest is history.” Honestly, all this saddened me because the sky is big enough for all of us. I have tried my best, but at this point, I can’t beg anyone anymore. I honestly don’t want to get involved anymore. Please, you all should respect that… when both parties are ready, they will make peace……….. I love them both regardless…. The Return of Arinzo will start showing in all cinemas nationwide from the 3rd of April”.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
