Another social media battle between Iyabo Ojo, Toyin Abraham, and Funke Akindele appears to be brewing.
The rationale isn’t far-fetched, as it could be tied to Toyin Abraham’s new film, The Ghost and the Tout Too.
The star-studded film, which premiered in Nigerian theatres on Friday, September 10, was reviewed by Cinema Pointer, a contentious Instagram page.

“This is not a book for clever people. We’ve told you many things over the years, but none more important than this: intelligent minds were completely ignored in the creation and production of ‘Ghost and The Tout Too.’
Thusly, intelligent minds will not enjoy it at all.
Regardless of how flagrantly it copycats off ‘Ómó Ghetto: The Saga’ desperately hoping to shine like it. Unlike that one ‘The Ghost and The Tout Too’ doesn’t understand that movie-making is rooted in brain-work and not in using cinema to do “Yahoo”, abusing stardoms to fleece fandoms.
If you’re smart, you’d be better off remaining at home this weekend to watch’mó Ghetto: The Saga,’ according to part of his review.
This certainly did not sit well with Toyin Abraham, her industry connections, and some of her followers.
Iyaba Ojo summoned the guts to assault Cinema Pointer’s page and express her disappointment, taking the bull by the horns. She also pointed the finger at Funke Akindele for funding the unfavorable review of Toyin Abraham’s latest film.
Iyabo Ojo also accused Funke Akindele of being full of jealousy and negativity, adding that The Ghost and The Tout 2 will surpass Funke’s Omo Ghetto: The Saga.
“How much did Funke pay you to write this rubbish? The day she begins to find ways not to talk to bad about her fellow colleagues or discredit their work or personality, that day she will begin to experience inner peace,” Angry Iyaba Ojo fumed.
