The Nollywood industry witnessed a heartwarming reconciliation as actress Habibat Jinad embraced an apology from her colleague, Wumi Toriola, bringing an end to their five-year feud.
In a public display of remorse, Wumi Toriola shared a photo of herself and publicly apologized to Habibat for the prolonged estrangement. She candidly expressed regret and acknowledged frequently checking Habibat’s Instagram for updates, particularly about her newborn, Okikiola.
In response, Habibat Jinad revealed her surprise upon noticing Wumi’s recent follow on Instagram and immediately reciprocated by following her back. Expressing gratitude, Habibat reflected on her prayers for peace and harmony, especially as she approached her 40th birthday, and expressed thankfulness that her prayers had been answered.
Acknowledging the passage of time, Habibat emphasized the importance of love, peace, and unity, highlighting the need for reconciliation and solidarity within the industry.
In her words, “Let me quickly drop this here, #wumitoriola and I have not been talking for the past five years. If you ask us what happened, we don’t know. To cut the long story short, I saw her following me today on Instagram, and I was surprised. I had to follow back and send her a DM, and she responded. Although I’ve prayed to Almighty God that I want to celebrate my 40th birthday in peace with everyone, and God answers prayers. We are not getting younger anymore. We all need peace, love, and unity within us all. Much love, #wumitoriola.”
