In a post on her Instagram page, she noted how she made a good movie, her first English movie on YouTube and people refused to see it. Questioning if she should bring it down, Wumi noted how people keep yearning for the growth of Yoruba actors yet don’t support them.
She noted how she offered several solutions to those interested in the movie, yet nothing changed. Wumi Toriola expressed how tired and heartbroken she is as she questioned how she intends to entertain their viewers.
“We made a good movie.
And you all refused to see it.
Our first English movie on Wumi Toriola TV
Some say they can’t find it. I think we should just bring it down.
Good morning lovers,
I am in pain typing this.
We made a good movie,” LOVE INTENTIONAL,” on the Wumi Toriola TV YouTube channel, our First English movie, and you all refused to see it.
And you keep yearning for growth for us.
Some say they can’t find it; I offered a solution: search “Love Intentional by Wumi Toriola.
Still, nothing changed.
I am tired. How do we bring more to entertain you?
I am heartbroken”.
Despite the challenge she is currently facing, it has been a winning year for Wumi Toriola, especially in the area of filmmaking.
Last week, the newest box office Queen had a box office award. The Yoruba actress took to her Instagram page to share the news with her fans and followers, as she revealed that she was awarded the box office champion of 2024 by the National Film and Video Censors Board NFVCB.
Early this month, she expressed gratitude to her millions of fans and supporters as her cinema movie earned 57.7 million on its opening weekend. The huge feat made it the highest Nollywood opening weekend for a non-holiday weekend and the highest-ever Nollywood opening weekend by an independent distributor. Expressing gratitude to the public, Wumi stated that she was grateful beyond words as she appreciated them for their love and support.
In September , Toriola had expressed excitement as one of her movies on YouTube hit 4 million views in just a month. Describing it as a big deal, she gave a thumbs up to herself, her cast, crew, and fans.
In July, Wumi had celebrated as she hit 100k subscribers on YouTube, which was undoubtedly a big feat. Declaring the day a monumental one, Wumi expressed how delighted she was, noting how it reflects the strong connection she and her team have built with their subscribers and millions of viewers.
Also in July, Wumi threw shade at some of her colleagues for rubbishing her efforts. She revealed that someone called her a YouTube star, and yet, some of her colleagues are yet to conquer YouTube and are still floating in the box office world. Questioning if their colleagues knew them before rebranding, she admonished them to run their race and stop looking for Bollywood.
