Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has waded into the brewing controversy involving her colleague, Desola Afod, advising her to revert to her father’s surname if she believes her former husband’s name invites disrespect.
The exchange comes after Desola publicly called out theatre professionals, accusing them of disrespecting her by addressing her simply by name rather than according her proper regard. During her outburst—in which she explicitly noted that she is 44 years old—Desola expressed deep displeasure over an incident of perceived disrespect at a recent celebrity gathering, though she refrained from naming the specific culprit.
Reacting to the development, Wumi Toriola strongly criticized Desola for taking out her frustrations on the broader theatre community. Wumi argued that instead of casting blanket accusations against industry professionals, Desola should directly confront the specific individual responsible for the slight rather than generalising her grievances.
