Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, recently extended an olive branch to her colleague, Funke Akindele, signaling a positive shift in their relationship.

These two icons have long been perceived as rivals in the Nigerian box office, with their competition spanning from the Yoruba movie industry to the broader Nollywood scene.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Abraham reflected on how gossip and rivalry had led them to become "competitors and persona non grata." However, she acknowledged that age and wisdom have taught her that competition doesn't have to be negative.

Abraham expressed admiration for Akindele's accomplishments, particularly her groundbreaking success in selling over 1 billion Naira worth of movies, which has inspired other women in the industry to dream big. Despite their competitive spirits, Abraham emphasized the importance of supporting and celebrating each other's achievements.

Moving forward, Abraham pledged to maintain a positive and complimentary stance towards Akindele, recognizing her as a source of motivation to set higher goals in the box office.

She closed her message with warm wishes for Akindele's continued success and expressed anticipation for future collaborations.

This gesture of reconciliation and support between two influential figures in Nollywood not only fosters a sense of unity within the industry but also sets a positive example for aspiring talents.
