Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has revealed why she chose to forgive her senior colleague, Afeez Owo.
Taking to her Instagram page, she shared a video of the moment she visited the veteran on a movie set to tender an apology. In the clip, Wumi, alongside another colleague, were seen kneeling as they pleaded with Afeez to forgive her.
In her caption, the controversial actress said she chose to apologise to him because she is a true ambassador of culture, and even in anger, elders should be off limits.
Wumi stated that she no longer holds grudges against him and has chosen peace, as she appreciated Afeez for forgiving her.
“I chose to apologise to our Legend because I am a true ambassador of culture, and even in “anger”, our elders should be off limits
Also, because our elders deserved calm waters, not raised voices
Once again, to our Fans, friends, no more grudges
I have chosen Peace.
Thank you for your forgiving self @officialafeezowo_fanspage @officialafeezowo”.
Kemi Filani reported that Afeez, in an interview, said Wumi only reacts to things when people push her. Afeez clarified that if people don’t look for Wumi’s trouble, she wouldn’t react, but she does not take nonsense.
Not pleased with his statement, Wumi lashed out at him, questioning whether she should rent a husband to hold the mic and spoil things. She noted how Afeez is eldërly and, as such, should stop his drama. Toriola noted how, despite his unfortunate behaviours, she still respects him.
Retracing her steps, Toriola shared a video of herself on a plane, describing it as the face of a repentant child. She stated that it was still all love from her end as she appreciated the public for the backlash.
Last month, during Odunlade Adekola’s movie premiere, Wumi apologised to the veteran. In a viral video, she approached her senior colleague, knelt down and apologised for insulting him. Afeez, who initially tried to avoid her, lifted her up and hugged her.
In 2023, Mide and Afeez had tendered a deep apology to Wumi over an expensive mistake, which made her a subject of ridicule online. The couple, who were the producers of the movie, tendered an apology to Wumi, as they noted how it was an expensive error from the production crew at the editing stage.
Last month, the famous actress had reacted to a subtle shade from singer Adekunle Gold, who compared Wumi to BBNaija Imisi, noting that they both have a crãzy personality. Responding to him, Wumi said she had repented since the beginning of the year and was now a gentle lady.
