A social media exchange between Toyin Abraham and a fan has sparked fresh reactions online following her recent public appearance.
The interaction ensued after a netizen, identified as @andrewsjuliet5, criticised the actress over her manner of greeting people at a recent event she attended.
Toyin Abraham had attended the 70th birthday party of Senator Gbenga Daniels where she was caught kneeling while greeting billionaire Razaq Okoya’s wife, Shade alongside other women.
Amid the criticism, Toyin Abraham reiterated that she wouldn’t stop kneeling to greet, emphasizing that it’s part of her culture and tradition.
Commenting under the post, a fan expressed disappointment, stating that while she remains a loyal supporter, she did not agree with Toyin Abraham’s view.
The fan noted that Toyin Abraham was literally crawling around at the event, adding that there are similar ways to show respect without going below standard.
The user added that Shade Okoya was not significantly older than Toyin Abraham to warrant such a gesture, ending the message by describing herself as a “pained fan”.
In response, Toyin Abraham addressed the criticism directly, defending her actions.
She stated that she takes pride in showing respect to elders in a traditional manner.
In her words, she said she enjoys kneeling and even crawling for elders, adding that she could go as far as lying flat on the ground.
Her reply quickly gained attention, drawing hundreds of reactions from followers. While some supported her stance on cultural respect, others continued to debate the appropriateness of her actions, keeping the conversation trending online.
