Wumi Toriola Fumes, Tells Enioluwa: “We Are Not mates”

Nigerian actress Wumi Toriola has stirred reactions online after confronting influencer Enioluwa over how he addressed her at a public event in Lagos.

The incident, captured in a viral video, occurred on Saturday evening as Toriola exchanged greetings with fellow actresses Ini Edo and Eniola Ajao.

In the clip, Enioluwa approached and greeted her by saying “Wumi, how are you?” while attempting to hug her. The actress, visibly displeased, pushed him back and questioned his choice of words, insisting that he should not address her so casually.

“You can’t greet me like that. You will have to prostrate to greet me. We are not mates,” she said.

Enioluwa quickly responded, attempting to clarify that he had said “Aunty Wumi” instead.

The exchange has since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting the actress’s stance on respect, while others criticised her reaction as excessive.

Reacting to the ongoing debate, Toriola addressed comments about her age on her Instagram story, noting that her youthful appearance often leads to assumptions.

According to publicly available information, Toriola was born in 1988, while Enioluwa was born in 1999.

The incident has continued to fuel conversations online about respect, age differences and social etiquette in public spaces.
