Actress toyin Abraham send strong message to colleague funke akindele as she react back on the comment section
if you guys knew the fierce competition to be number one in those days in the Yoruba industry (I don't know If that still exists though). The fierce competition created camps, enmity, and many professional gossips. The number one cause of fights in the industry then was 'he said, she said' before the social media era. Dear Nollywood people, lel me chip this in, stop tearing the industry down with your gossips. You have caused lots of damage with 'he-said, she-said'. let me go back to my story. In those days of the Yoruba flim industry, @funkejenifaakindele was like number one after the likes of Aunty Bukky and Aunty Faithia. I was the next in line. The competition was much and with many gossips in between, we became competitors and persona non grata. She moved on to the English industry, I became number ane before moving on tao (A ward of advice to young actors of today, no one will be number one forever. It doesn't mean you fall down the pecking order, it might just be that you move on to bigger things. E rora tele bashubashu. You don't own the Industry, the industry is bigger than you). In the English Industry, Aunty Funke and I continued the rivalry sort of. It pitted our fans against each other. We are two competitive Virgo women, we love to win and sometimes in that process, we splash dirt and mud. But with time, age, and more wisdom, I have realized we can compete without being negatively competitive. Aunty Funke, I celebrate you for showing us what is possible. You are a winner. You sold over IB, you made it possible for other women to dream. You ran us street with that 18 o, this year, many of us will move to IB and we pray God makes you bigger. Thank you for making great movies and selling them like your life depends on it. You taught other women to hustle harder. I had set records in box office records, Aunty came and beat them, today I am happy because she has challenged me to set higher goals. Sis, let's compliment each other even in competition at the box office, i owe you one post in December (only! a, I need to seli market.... Lol). I pray that God will make all your dreams come true.
I admire you and wish you all the best you pray for.
