Actresses Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele have warmed hearts online following a touching moment at Toke Makinwa’s daughter’s dedication in Lagos.

In a viral clip, Toyin was seen kneeling to greet Funke, prompting smiles and applause from guests.

The brief gesture, captured during the star-studded ceremony, was described by many as a sign of humility and reconciliation between the two Nollywood powerhouses who were once rumoured to be at odds.

The actresses have long been compared by fans due to their box office achievements and influence in Nollywood.

The baby dedication, held on Sunday, was attended by several celebrities including Tiwa Savage, Mercy Eke, Priscilla Ojo, Enioluwa, Eniola Badmus and Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

The video quickly trended on social media, with fans praising Toyin and Funke.

One X user wrote, “This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for, peace between two queens of Nollywood.”

Victor Ogbaegbe commented, “These are lovely to see, honestly.”

Luckibaby added, “Amazing moments.”

Temi wrote, “Awwwn.”

Nonyjay simply said, “Lovely.”

Last year, Funke achieved another major milestone with her film Everybody Loves Jenifa, which grossed over N1.8 billion at the Nigerian box office.

Toyin, on her part, is set to release her highly anticipated movie Over Sabi Aunty in December.
