Nollywood actress and box office queen, Toyin Abraham, was overwhelmed with emotion as she witnessed a massive crowd at the Ikeja cinema for her movie, Alakada Bhad and Boujee. The film is currently showing in many cinemas across Nigeria.
Abraham, who has been actively promoting her movie on social media, shared a heartwarming video of the huge turnout at the Ikeja cinema. Visibly emotional, she expressed her gratitude to God and acknowledged her victory.The filmmaker also took a moment to appreciate her fans and supporters who came out to watch the movie with her and co-star Bimbo Ademoye. This outpouring of support is especially significant, given that Abraham had recently appealed to Nigerians not to pirate her movie.
“Hm GOD did itI WON. Thank you so much, IKEJA. Alakada Bad and Boujee is still showing and getting the hype they deserve, Alakadabadandboujee. Is showing in cinemas near you. Pls, make it a date this weekend. ILORIN I’m deeply sorry pls and kindly do me the honor by going to the cinema to watch it today and show me; Love, pls”.
Just last week, Abraham revealed that someone was caught recording her movie at the cinema, but she intervened and had the person released. This incident highlights the ongoing challenge of piracy in the Nigerian film industry.Abraham’s success is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft. Last year, she spoke out against a fan who compared her movie unfavorably to that of fellow actress Funke Akindele. Abraham expressed her frustration with people downplaying her achievements.
In a recent reflection on her career, Abraham shared that she earned N52 million in 2023 after just seven days at the cinema. In 2024, she surpassed that figure, earning N134 million in the same timeframe. Abraham attributed her success to her fans and expressed her gratitude to God. To show appreciation for her fans’ support, Abraham penned a heartfelt note, thanking them for embracing her latest project.
However, her post was misinterpreted by some, who felt she was shading fellow celebrities who give gifts to fans at the cinema. Abraham later clarified her statement, explaining that her intention was to express gratitude, not to criticize others.
