Nollywood actress Seyi Edun has written a touching note to her best friend and colleague, Wumi Toriola.
She noted how people say time and distance can test friendship, but they can also prove how deep the roots go together. She said reconnecting with Toriola is one of the highlights of her year, and reminded her of the beautiful bond they’ve always had.
Reflecting, she expressed gratitude for how life brought them back, as true friendship has a way of weathering storms.”
“Happy birthday to someone truly special, Anike Olawumi.
They say time and distance can test a friendship, but they can also prove how deep the roots go together. Reconnecting with you has been one of the highlights of my year, and it reminded me of the beautiful bond we’ve always had.
Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for how life brought us back together. True friendships have a way of weathering storms, and our reconnection has shown me just how much our bond matters.
Moving past the distance and choosing to rebuild has been such a beautiful chapter, and I cherish the history we share and the new memories we are making.
I am so glad we chose growth, understanding, and a fresh start.
On your special day, I wish you overflowing joy, peace of mind, good health, long life and all the success in the world. You deserve the absolute best that life has to offer.
Cheers to a brand new year of growth, laughter, and an even stronger sisterhood. Have an amazing birthday! My forever friend/sister”.
Kemi Filani reported in May that Seyi’s husband, Adeniyi Johnson, had received praises from the public for reconciling Seyi and Wumi. The talented actor, via his Instagram page, shared a photo of himself, his wife and Toriola with the caption, “Vacation is over”.
On Seyi’s birthday in June, Toriola noted how life has a funny way of bringing people back together, and she was genuinely grateful that theirs did. She expressed how glad she was that they had been able to move forward and create new memories together.
Refreshing your memory, Wumi was once best friend with Seyi after Seyi snatched Adeniyi Johnson from Toyin. However, their relationship went sour, and both parties went their separate ways.
In 2020, Wumi called out Seyi Edun for not celebrating her son’s birthday but had the guts to send him money. She went as far as mocking Seyi over her inability to have a child for her husband. Interestingly, Wumi went on to pitch tent with Toyin after the fallout.
