Star actor Odunlade Adekola premiered his movie, ‘Orisa’ at the Circle Mall in Jakande, Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria, a few days ago.
The event witnessed the presence of popular faces in the Yoruba speaking movie industry and it equally reunited many who haven’t seen one another for a long time.
A moment that many people would not forget in a hurry was how Toyin Abraham aimed a dig at her ex-husband, Adeniyi Johnson, at the event. Though it was a short moment of fun, but one could establish the fact that the ex-lovers hold no grudge against each other.
Toyin walked in when some of her colleagues were already seated as she made way to the stairs to pay what she described as ‘homage’ to her ‘senior’ colleagues in the industry.
The beautiful actress walked up to Muyiwa Ademola, also known as Authentic, who was seated next to Femi Adebayo and Itele D Icon, and exchanged pleasantries with them, she saw Adeniyi, who tried to avoid having any eye contact with his ex.
Toyin appeared to have read Adeniyi’s body language and decided to call him out among the crowd, saying “Niyi, you are pretending not to see me or you don’t want to greet me,” she asked jokingly.
Adeniyi returned the gesture, saying “Aunty Toyin, well done ma. I am greeting you; you probably didn’t hear when I greeted.”
It will be recalled that Toyin and Adenyi dated and got married for about five years before they went their separate ways over infidelity claims. They have both moved on by contracting new marriages within the movie industry. Toyin married actor Ajeyemi while Adeniyi married actress Edun.
Other well-known personalities such as Itele, Sanyeri, Mr. Macaroni, Kie Kie, Bimbo Thomas, Jaiye Kuti, Jide Awobona, Laide Bakare, and many more also graced the occasion. The event, celebrating the release of his latest film “Orisa,” was a grand affair that showcased the richness of Yoruba culture.
