Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has sparked conversations online after a video of her kneeling to greet billionaire couple, Razaq and Shade Okoya, went viral.

The filmmaker was among the guests at the 70th birthday celebration of Debola Lagos’ father, where she paid her respects to the power couple in the traditional Yoruba way.

While many praised her for upholding cultural values, some critics on social media accused her of going overboard.

One X user wrote that her repeated kneeling was “unnecessary” and looked like “eye service,” urging her to carry herself with more pride, given her achievements.

She wrote:

“I’m a fan of Aunty Toyin Abraham but this her unnecessary kneeling down and greeting is becoming too much and looking like an eye service now. It’s ok to respect elders and cultures but those women she keep kneeling for are not so older than her.

“Aunty Toyin, you need to start packaging yourself now. That’s why they keep disrespecting you. They are not more than you, they are not bigger than you. Stop belittling yourself for them. We Nigerians have forgiven you for supporting City Boy in 2023. It’s time you forgive yourself too and carry yourself with pride and grace cos you work hard for it and you deserve the respect that comes with it. I don’t mean any disrespect and I love you.”

Reacting to the criticism, Toyin Abraham defended her actions, saying she would never stop kneeling for people who “value and deserve it.”

She emphasised that her respect for elders and cultural traditions remains unwavering, regardless of status.

In a follow-up post, the actress described herself as a “true Omoluabi,” a Yoruba term for someone who embodies good character and cultural values.

She reassured her fans, known as Toyintitans, that she would continue to uphold her heritage with pride.
