Toyin Abraham, a Nollywood actress, recently announced the debut of her new project, which has elicited varied opinions.
Toyin took to Instagram to announce the debut of her kiddies YouTube channel, which is completely dedicated to teaching and entertaining children.
Many people were critical of her new endeavor because it was identical to Funke Akindele’s children’s program.

Sokidz, the name of his initiative, is a simple way for children to learn children’s songs and nursery rhymes in English and their native language.

Since 2020, there have been speculations that actors Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham are not friends as they always shun each other on social media during birthdays, wedding anniversaries, premieres, and other celebrations.
The talented ladies who are feuding began their playing careers in the Yoruba film industry and have recently made their mark on the silver screen. They are debatable, and no pushovers when it comes to interpreting movie scripts to letters, but they have a noticeable competition over who is the greatest.
A blogger claimed that Funke Akindele had been spitting on Toyin Abraham in front of other Nollywood stars and had threatened to quit working with a prominent stylist if she dared to style Toyin Abraham.
Their rivalry became pronounced after Toyin Abraham released a sequel to her one film, The Ghost and The Tout, on September 10, 2021, and interestingly, Funke Akindele, who completely avoided Toyin’s movie poster, also set the same date, September 10, for the release of her Omo Ghetto the Saga film on Netflix, an act that divided their fans.
When Iyabo Ojo accused Funke Akindele of hiring a prominent movie critic to trash Toyin Abraham’s film, the rivalry took flight.
