Nollywood actress and producer, Wumi Toriola, has sparked a buzz online as she announces her acceptance of God’s call to serve as a minister.
In celebration of the new month of April, often associated with April Fool’s Day, Wumi took to Instagram to share her spiritual journey, revealing that she had heeded the divine call.
In a lighthearted yet heartfelt message, Wumi Toriola declared her new identity as Evangelist WT, expressing her hope to fulfill the responsibilities of her new ministry with God’s guidance.
“Good morning lovers. I have finally heeded the voice of the Lord. I have picked up His call. I hope He helps me in this new ministry. May God bless us all. Love from Evangelist WT.”
While the announcement had some humorous undertones, many of Wumi’s fans and followers couldn’t help but share in her excitement about this bold spiritual move.
Wumi Toriola’s announcement comes just days after she stirred up an online drama involving Nigerian chef Tolani and food critic Opeyemi Famakin.
Last year, Wumi Toriola had called out Chef T from Diary of a Kitchen Lover for ignoring her direct message (DM) despite promoting her movie, Queen Lateefah. Wumi expressed that she believed the chef no longer needed anyone’s help and could grow independently.
Food critic Opeyemi Famakin stepped in to defend Chef T, which led to a public exchange with Wumi. The actress responded with a cheeky remark, suggesting that Famakin was only seeking attention and urged him to focus on building a long-term career or a successful business before engaging with her.
In other news, Wumi Toriola’s film Queen Lateefah made history at the cinema, breaking several records. She proudly shared a post on Instagram detailing the movie’s achievements, which include:
-
Highest-grossing Nollywood release for a non-festive period
-
Highest opening weekend for a non-holiday season
-
7th highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time
-
Highest-grossing September release of all time
These milestones have solidified Wumi Toriola’s reputation not only as a talented actress but also as a trailblazer in the Nigerian film industry.
Wumi Toriola’s new calling as Evangelist WT has certainly raised eyebrows, but fans are eager to see how she’ll juggle her spiritual journey alongside her thriving career in Nollywood. With her growing influence, this new chapter promises to be as eventful as her cinematic triumphs.
