Acclaimed Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has expressed her regret at not being able to attend the much-anticipated wedding of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of fellow Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo. This high-profile event took place in Lagos and quickly became a trending topic on social media, as it was attended by numerous celebrities, influencers, and distinguished guests celebrating the union of Priscilla Ojo and her Tanzanian partner, singer Juma Jux.
The wedding was a lavish affair that captivated the entertainment industry, with stunning visuals and clips shared online by attendees. However, Funke Akindele was notably absent, which she lamented in a comment on fellow actress Wumi Toriola’s social media post. Funke praised Wumi’s vibrant presence at the event and expressed her feelings with the comment: “Haaaa!! I miss o. Mad oo! Give dem Wunmi.” This remark resonated with fans, who joined her in expressing admiration for the glamorous festivities evident from social media highlights.
In related news, actress Wumi Toriola responded to a viral video that captured an elderly woman seemingly giving her a dismissive look during the wedding ceremony. Throughout the event, Wumi, known for her lively demeanor, was caught off guard by the stern gaze, which she later addressed during a live Instagram session. Reflecting on the incident, Wumi expressed confusion and disappointment, questioning the woman’s behavior since she knew her only from her on-screen roles. She speculated that the woman might have mistaken her real-life persona for her characters portrayed in films, a common occurrence that actors face.
Wumi shared her incredulity at the condescending glare, initially attributing it to a fleeting moment but later realizing the genuine dismissive nature of the look. As she voiced her sentiments online, she hoped for goodwill to be reciprocated in the lives of those critical of her, asserting her innocence in ever wronging the woman.
The identity of the elderly woman in question remains anonymous, as does any public response to the remarks made by Wumi Toriola.
