Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has stirred online reactions after confronting influencer and actor Enioluwa Adeoluwa over how he addressed her during a public event in Lagos.
Incident Captured on Video
The moment, now widely shared on social media, occurred over the weekend as Toriola interacted with fellow actresses Ini Edo and Eniola Ajao.
During the exchange, 26-year-old Enioluwa approached and greeted her, saying, “Wumi, how are you?” while attempting to hug her.
Actress Reacts Strongly
Toriola, who turns 38 in July, appeared visibly upset by the greeting and immediately reacted.
“Are you insane? Did you just call my name? How dare you call me by my name?” she said, pushing him back in the viral clip.
Enioluwa Denies Claim
Responding to the confrontation, Enioluwa quickly clarified that he did not address her in a disrespectful manner.
“No, no, I didn’t say that. I said, ‘Aunty Wumi, how are you?’” he replied.
Social Media Debate
The incident has since triggered mixed reactions online. While some users supported Toriola’s stance on respect for senior colleagues, others felt her reaction was too harsh for the situation.
Cultural Perspective
In Nigeria’s entertainment space, addressing older colleagues with titles like “Aunty” is commonly viewed as a sign of respect. The incident has reignited conversations about age hierarchy, respect, and communication among public figures.
