Actress Toyin Abraham has faced backlash from Nigerians for her vocal support of President Bola Tinubu during the last election. In a viral video, Abraham breaks down in tears, claiming her family is being targeted, but many Nigerians remain skeptical of her political stance and motivations.
A viral video of popular Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham in tears has sparked a fierce online debate, with Nigerians responding with a mix of empathy and criticism towards her public support for President Bola Tinubu.
In the emotional video, Abraham claimed that people have been "cursing" her son and husband simply because she voted for Tinubu during the last election. She threatened to "start picking up people" who have been bullying her family.
The actress's tearful outburst has elicited a range of reactions from Nigerians on social media, with many expressing a lack of sympathy for her plight.
"I have zero pity for her," tweeted @n6oflife6. "She was Loud & silly in her support for Incompetence. Simple Question, what plans were you told this Govt had that was making you go haywire during elections? She no fit answer. Save your Tears Toyin you will need them with the Shege coming."
Others, however, condemned the harassment of Abraham's family, with @Princeikembajr writing, "Bullying her children is wrong tho."
The debate has also centered around Abraham's failure to articulate the specific policies or plans that convinced her to publicly back Tinubu's candidacy.
As the controversy continues to unfold, the incident has once again highlighted the polarized political landscape in Nigeria and the intense scrutiny faced by public figures who align themselves with certain political figures.
