Toyin Abraham believes in destiny

Toyin Abraham is being called Nollywood’s Midas based on the success of her recent productions since she started her own film company.

“I wish I could say there’s a magic to it all but honestly the accolades go to God and hard work. The hard work is not just from me but from the cast, the crew and everyone involved in the production. Often it gets overwhelming, you question your ability to pull it through but at the end of the day, you realize that you are not in it alone and you are surrounded with people who have success flowing in their veins. It becomes something worth doing and then we deliver something beautiful to the fans. So, there’s no magic, just hard work,” she summed it up.

“The love of doing something you know will not only impact others but will bring some sense of fulfillment to you also. I love acting. That is what I know, what I love to do and will always love to do but somehow, I knew it wasn’t enough. I wanted to do more. It was an easy decision for me to go into film production, that way I get to do more than just act. My passion for acting drove me into production. I would not say I’m perfect but so far, I have enjoyed every bit of it and I look forward to doing greater things.”

Along the way, Toyin’s marriage ended and she believes it was just destiny. Her last three films have soared at the box office and she says she believes it was time for her big break and it happened when it was supposed to happen.

“I put as much effort as I can in my movies. I grow each time I put my job out there. They all come with their challenges and their gains. Seven and a Half Dates [her latest production] is doing really great. The reception has been fantastic. I do this not just for myself but for my fans and everyone who enjoys watching movies. To see and hear great reviews from them gives me joy. Thank you, Nigerians. Thank you, Toyin Titans,” she said.
