“Look guys, my money is fucking long, bro. I just don’t show it…..I don’t show it. So just chill.

Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits
Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits
It is no news that in the last five years, film producers cum actresses, Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have been engaged in an unspoken rivalry.
In fact, industry players claimed that their rivalry has resulted in both actresses not featuring in the same film until Bolanle Austen Peters decided to have both actresses on the set of Netflix original, ‘House of Gaa.’
The two actresses have become cinema queens after embracing and producing some of Nigeria’s highest grossings films in cinema in the last five years.
Though Akindele seems to have won the battle on the streets of cinema with at least three of her flicks grossing the highest numbers, Abraham has also given her a run for her money every year.

Hence, 2024 won’t be different as both popular producers have their films in the cinema again this December.
With all the right marketing put in place to ensure both films enjoy great time at the box office, the film stars are still not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring they surpass each other in 2024.
Interestingly, the two actresses have shared two common factors that only industry watchers have noticed for the 2024 productions. Both producers have FilmOne distributing their works, which incidentally, are fresh installments of their old franchises – Akindele returns with ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ while Abraham is in the cinema with ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee.’
On Wednesday, December 18, film lovers claimed that both actresses were spotted at the Ikeja City Mall, for meet and greet with fans individually.
It is unsure if the rivalry will see an end as both producers have pitched their tents with a December release in the cinema.
Keen watchers also believe the rivalry might grow further with the entrant of Mercy Aigbe, who seems to have jumped on the wagon after the releases of her films, ‘Ada Omo Daddy’ and ‘Thin Line,’ in December 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies
Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies
Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.
In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.
Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.
He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.
On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:
“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”
In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.
The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.
However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.
The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.
Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:
“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.
“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
