Sharing the exciting news on Instagram today, December 27, Toyin expressed her heartfelt gratitude to God, her fans, and supporters of her work.
The local distributor had earlier announced the movie’s remarkable box office numbers, prompting an emotional response from the actress.
“God of my journey, thank you. I am grateful that you helped me beat my last record! I am my own competition! Last year, I made ₦52M after seven days; this year, I made ₦134M after seven days. That is over a 157.69% increase. God, I am that woman who returns to say thank you,” she wrote.
Toyin also took a moment to appreciate her fans for their unwavering support:

The actress, known for her perseverance and dedication, highlighted the challenges she faced in the competitive movie industry. She commended cinemas that supported her film while addressing those she felt tried to undermine her success.
“To the cinemas, especially the ones that have made it clear that their goal is for the industry to grow and support every movie irrespective of who is distributing it, thank you. And to those cinemas that made it clear they don’t want us to succeed, God has proven Himself to be greater than man—thank you, Lord,” she added.
