Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has declared that she will no longer exchange pleasantries with colleague Funke Akindele following a public incident that has stirred reactions online.
The development comes after a moment at the premiere of a film by Iyabo Ojo, where Funke appeared to ignore Toyin’s greeting. According to accounts from the event, Toyin approached her colleague, greeted her politely, and attempted to get her attention, but received no response.

The perceived snub, captured on video, quickly circulated on social media, prompting widespread commentary from fans and observers. Many users criticised the situation, describing it as an uncomfortable public display.
Reacting to the incident in the comment section of an Instagram post, Toyin confirmed that she had unfollowed Funke. She also stated that she would not greet her again, expressing frustration over the encounter.
Although the comment was later deleted, the exchange has intensified speculation about a renewed rift between the two actresses, who had only recently mended a long-standing rivalry.
