Toyin Abraham, a Nollywood actress, has addressed criticism after a video of her greeting elders at a recent event went viral.

During a celebration of Shade Okoya’s 70th birthday, the actress was spotted kneeling to greet her and her husband. This gesture caused conflicting reactions on social media.

In response to critics, Toyin described herself as a true “Omoluabi” who cherishes culture and tradition and said that kneeling is an integral part of her upbringing and identity.

“I have seen the various opinions regarding the manner in which I greeted some elders at a recent event. It gives me pause to reflect on when we began to drift from our culture and traditions to the point where kneeling is now described as ‘abosi.’”

“I, Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi, was raised to kneel when greeting those older than me. It is a value deeply rooted in who I am, and one I will continue to uphold with pride. I will remain intentional about passing these values to younger generations,” she said.

According to the actress, she was raised to kneel when greeting elders and sees nothing wrong with continuing the practice, regardless of public opinion.

Her response came after an X user criticised her action as unnecessary, while others defended her for respecting cultural values.

It will also be recalled that a few weeks ago, the actress went viral after allegedly being snubbed by Funke Akindele when she approached her seat at Iyabo Ojo’s movie premiere.

The incident, however, sparked tension online, with many speculating about an underlying feud between the two actresses.
