Nollywood actress and filmmaker Wunmi Toriola has broken her silence after a viral debate about her age on social media. The controversy was sparked by a video that emerged on Saturday, April 25, 2026, capturing a dramatic moment between Toriola and influencer Enioluwa at an event.
The Incident at the Event
At the event, Toriola, who was soliciting support for the late Aunty Ajara, was seen exchanging pleasantries with actress Ini Edo and Eniola Ajao. Enioluwa joined the group and greeted Toriola by calling her "Wumi." In a swift response, Toriola voiced her displeasure, and Enioluwa had to resort to begging and holding onto her. Speaking in Yoruba, Toriola said, "You said Wumi, you call me by my name (opemi loruko), why would you call me Wunmi?" Enioluwa quickly corrected himself by calling her "Aunty Wunmi," turning the dramatic scene into a funny moment.
Age Debate Erupts Online
Reacting to the video, several netizens on X (formerly Twitter) criticized Enioluwa for allegedly disrespecting the actress, arguing that she is older than him. Addressing the debate, Toriola posted on her Instagram story that she finished secondary school in 2003. "I saw people debating my age. Nor be everybody ise dey gbo o, na all my family get baby face. I finished sec school in 2003 (I repeat o do the maths) 16 nor dey enter uni that time o," she wrote.
