Just In : Netizens slam Toyin Abraham over support for Tinubu
By Emmanuel Agaji
As the economic crisis in Nigeria worsens, a popular actress, Toyin Abraham, has come under fire from frustrated Nigerians, who have been lambasting her for campaigning vigorously for President Bola Tinubu in the lead up to the 2023 elections.
Whenever the actress makes any post on social media, it is usually greeted with criticism and insults by her fans and followers.
Some netizens even went as far as posting flyers that read, ‘Rest in peace’ about the actress.”
Apparently overwhelmed by the negative reactions, Abraham stated that she was aware of the pain felt by the people. She wrote, “Unexplainable, but God will see us all through. It is people’s pain that is getting to me.”
In a similar vein, the actress blamed political opposition for the bad reviews on one of her movies titled, ‘Ijakumo, the Born-Again Stripper’.
At the time, she had said, “You all went to create a WhatsApp group because of ‘Ijakumo, the Born-Again Stripper’; please continue. You all will tell the world why choosing my own candidate is a crime, and yours isn’t.”
She later apologized for her outburst, and asked critics to share their opinions about the movie ‘with love’.
However, the strident criticisms have not abated.
Replying to one of her recent Instagram posts, one Nkem Diana wrote, “Asiwaju Baby. God will visit and judge you. You have not started crying.”
Pablo Floky said, “How far those things you said Baba disclosed to you, is it not time to execute them? Or is it when hunger kills all of us?”
Another Instagram, Eth, wrote, “You misled Nigerians to vote your ‘mumu’ party.”
Meanwhile, a follower, Ojays, was of the opinion that the followers were being unfair to the actress. He wrote, “All those bashing Toyin, please did she force anyone to vote for her choice? Did she point gun at you at the polling booth that you should vote for her candidate by force? Is she the only one who supported Tinubu, or you all just derive pleasure in coming for her. Please, let her breathe. Plus, how sure are you that your own candidate would have performed any better?”
Meanwhile, the actress had also stated that she was partnering with a brand— Smallyfares— to organise a weekly food bank event in Ikeja, Lagos State.
*Tells him to be ashamed of himself

Media personality Toke Makinwa has slammed artist 2Baba for publicly revealing that he and his wife, Annie, are getting a divorce.
Recall that in an Instagram post on Sunday, 2Baba revealed that they had been separated for some time and are now in the process of filing for divorce, putting an end to their 12-year marriage.
Responding directly to the video posted by 2Baba on Instagram, where he confessed to making the controversial divorce announcement, Toke wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
Toke expressed her frustration further by posting a message on her Instagram story, targeting those remaining neutral on the issue.
She wrote, “I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family.
“No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
Undeterred, Makinwa, in another Instagram story post on Monday, questioned 2Baba’s decision to bring the divorce to the public, emphasising that the full truth will be revealed in due time.
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?
“We know what is going on behind closed doors. The world doesn’t know anything; it’s already been hectic with opinions flying around, and when I say we will fight for her, I’m not talking about the general public.
“A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell. Timing is everything; empathy is everything. You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she wrote.
South African influencer Kefilwe Mabote, known for her appearance on the ‘Young, Famous and African’ Netflix series, has posted a video on Instagram setting fire to designer items, many of which were from the luxury brand Versace.
Kefilwe Mabote, who had been a pioneer in luxury fashion influencing in South Africa, filmed herself burning several Versace pieces, particularly those with the ‘Medusa’ logo.
In her Instagram story, she wrote, “Burning the Medusa face was one of the most freeing and therapeutic things I’ve ever done. It was part of breaking down the idols I unknowingly built in my heart, the very things that distracted me from fully walking with Jesus.”
She emphasised that she has found God and that there are many things she once followed and didn’t understand were actually evil, adding that these revelations have now become clearer to her.
Prior to this, she kickstarted 2025 by giving away some of her luxury clothes, including some high-end designer pieces, to her loyal followers.
Kefilwe, butressing on her spiritual awakening, mentioned practices such as idolatry, horoscopes, new age beliefs, unforgiveness, soul ties, certain cultural traditions, wrong associations, and even some social media trends as “evil things” from which she has repented.
“These things kept me bound without me realising it and were tools the enemy used to keep me in bondage,” she reflected.
The popular model added that she has fully surrendered to Jesus, repented of her sins, and renounced everything that gave the devil access to her life.
“I see life differently now, and I’ve learned to live with humility,” she wrote.
Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia popularly known as Tuface, has announced his divorce from his wife of 18 years, Annie Macaulay.
Tuface took to instagram to state that he and Annie, who he shares two kids with, have been separated for a while and recently filed for divorce.
He wrote;
