Popular actress Toyin Abraham-Ajeyemi has recommended the exploitation of what she described as ‘a fool’s foolishness’ for the promotion of one’s business.
The movie producer whose latest movie ‘Ijakumo’ (the born again stripper) has continued to garner varying reactions from viewers and even those yet to see it revealed how she recently deployed the strategy to her advantage.
It all began yesterday when she invited influencers, particularly Daniel Regha for the ‘trendupp awards’ so they could share their views and suggestions about her movie
“My darling @DanielRegha hope to see you today face to face at trendupp awards so you can kindly tell me where you need me to improve in film making. I saw your tweet on IJAKUMO and I will be happy to see you so you can tell me where and where to work on. Hope to see other lovely influencers aswell today,” she tweeted.
Regha who had condemned the movie some weeks ago, reaffirmed his words several hours after Toyin’s invitation.
“Hi @toyin_abraham1, I was repeatedly told u wanted to see me, but I chose to ignore cos while I respect u as an actress, u supporting this govt after the EndSARS protests, goes against everything I stand for. That said, “Ijakumo” movie was poorly written & directed. No offense,” he tweeted.
While Daniel and some Twitter users outrightly wrote off Toyin’s ‘Ijakumo’, many others lauded her for the movie.
As it’s only natural to do, the film star decided to engage her fans by retweeting positive remarks from viewers about her movie.
One Victor reacting stated: “I just wish you stop engaging yourself on what fools say on internet.”
But Toyin Abraham held a different opinion as she noted: “Sometimes you use fools and their foolishness to sell your market.”

She ultimately broke the camel’s back while responding to one Timi who said: “Mummy ire don vex. But na you find trouble na. You know Daniel is all about criticism never seen him acknowledge something without adding some negativity.”
Reacting to Timi, the mother of one said she intentionally mentioned Daniel Regha in her post because she was well aware of his dislike for her person and craft.
She hinted seeing Regha had obvious social media presence and was one whose views many considered, she used him as a bait to push her movie and it work remarkably.
“I knw darling, I needed him and he delivered 2 ge 4”, Toyin stated.
