Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, and Mercy Aigbe face intense scrutiny in viral clip over new movie competition

As the days inch closer to December’s cinematic showdown, the air is thick with anticipation. As Nollywood watches with bated breath, beneath the glittering surface lies a question that refuses to be ignored: Is this merely the fire of healthy competition pushing creativity to its peak, or is this simply the unavoidable drama of an industry where ambition knows no bounds?.

Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, and Mercy Aigbe face intense scrutiny in viral clip over new movie competition
  • Three of the reigning queens of the Nigerian box office—Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, and Mercy Aigbe—have been thrust into the unforgiving glare of public scrutiny, after an eagle-eyed observer sparked a heated conversation about the brewing competition surrounding their highly anticipated movie projects.
  • What seemed like a coincidence of simultaneous creative output has now been painted as a calculated battle for supremacy, igniting a wave of accusations about an unspoken rivalry with strategic movie releases and calculated moves.

Once again, the whispers of a silent war between Nollywood heavyweights Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have reignited, but this time, the narrative has taken a new twist. Mercy Aigbe, their equally formidable colleague, has been pulled into the spotlight, sparking heated conversations about an unfolding “trio rivalry”.

The stakes are higher than ever as these Nollywood queens unleash their most ambitious works yet, all set to grace cinemas this December.

Social media platforms have become their battlegrounds, with carefully curated posts, relentless promotional campaigns, and star-studded premieres aimed at seizing the spotlight.

Funke Akindele’s highly anticipated Everybody Loves Jenifa boasts a glittering debut and is slated to hit cinemas on December 13, 2024, the same day as Mercy Aigbe’s gripping drama, Thin Line. Toyin Abraham’s much-awaited Alakada Bad and Boujee will follow on December 20, completing a month charged with  intrigue.

Amidst the glitz and the calculated moves, it was a TikTok user named Ada who fanned the flames of controversy with her piercing observations.

In her now-viral video, Ada revealed what she described as a brewing rivalry that has simmered for years—a pattern of strategic December releases where these powerhouses consistently time their projects to collide, as though daring one another to a battle of dominance.

According to Ada, Funke’s consistency, star power, and enduring legacy place her leagues above the rest, a sentiment echoed by countless others who viewed the clip.
