Man Criticizes Toyin Abraham For Advertising Her Film In Yoruba
  • Man slams Toyin Abraham for promoting her new films, Malaika, in Yoruba instead of her native language, Edo
  • He stated that marrying a Yoruba man does not mean she should abandon her roots.
  • He gave Toyin Abraham a deadline of 48 hours to exit “Yorubawood” and start supporting “EdoWood,” 

Renowned Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham has faced criticism from an online user for promoting her films in Yoruba.

Toyin while promoting her movie, wrote in Yoruba: “IYALODE nbo ninu osu kefa, oojo kefa odun ti awa ninu e yi. Mo ni kin tun ranyin leti ni o Aese Modupe Malaika si wa Lori circuits.tv lowo lowo bayi, ejo eba mi wo, mi o nise mi o yato si ere ori itage.”

Translating into English, she wrote: “IYALODE is coming in the sixth month, on the sixth day of this year. I just wanted to remind you all. Also, thank you so much! Malaika is currently available on Circuits.tv. Please check it out for me. Acting is my only job; I do nothing else besides stage performance.”

The user, Oriretan Honour in reaction expressed his disappointment that Toyin Abraham was prioritizing Yoruba culture over her Edo heritage.

He argued that marrying a Yoruba man does not justify leaving her roots and urged her to promote “EdoWood” instead of “Yorubawood.”

He wrote, “Toyin, it’s unwise claiming Yoruba that u’re originally not instead of Edo. More unwise only promoting Yoruba culture leaving Edo’s.Ur mum &dad are Edos but sad nobody knows this abt u.Marrying Yoruba isnt enough reason.U’ve 48hrs to dump Yorubawood &start promoting EdoWood.Bé wise.”

Toyin Abraham responded to the criticism in Yoruba, saying that Oriretan Honour is very unfortunate, she prayed for God to give him peace.

She wrote, “Ori e ti buru bi eegun ti nle weere, amo Adura mi ni wipe ki Eledumare fun e alaafia.” Translating into English, “Your head is as bad as a masquerade chasing a mad person, but my prayer is that God grants you peace.”
