Actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo says she will halt stepping in as a mediator between feuding colleagues following renewed tension between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham.
She cited fatigue following previous interventions and renewed tensions within the industry.
In a post on Instagram, she addressed criticism directed at her, defended her past actions, and outlined her earlier attempts to broker peace between the two actresses.
She described the situation as unfortunate, stressing that there is room for everyone to thrive, but maintained that she could no longer appeal to either party to mend fences.
Ojo also disclosed that her relationship with Akindele spans several years, despite periods of disagreement, including a past episode where she publicly criticised Akindele in support of Abraham’s film—a decision she said she now regrets.
She wrote, “For those of you maligning my character, insulting me, and calling me unprintable names, this is for you!! Now, I need to set the record straight. This is the first and last time I will be talking about anything like this. Funke and I have been friends for the longest, but there were times we fell out, fault on both sides. I once came online to drag Funke because of Toyin’s movie. That was a wrong move on my part; I should have handled it better. Funke and I later made up, and we addressed all our issues and put them behind us. I tried my very best to settle both of them, cried, knelt, begged both parties to embrace peace which they both later did, reason you saw them a few months ago interacting with one another, but there was a condition, no one was to shade online if any issue arose, they both promised to address it off camera, but unfortunately, Dec came, Toyin made some complaints about her movie in cinemas claiming some people or person was trying to sabotage her, some fans pointed accusing fingers towards Funke, that sparked up a fresh beef.
