Wumi Toriola Boasts Breaks Toyin Abraham’s Record
Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola is celebrating a major milestone as her film Queen Lateefah has grossed 350 million naira in just two months, surpassing Toyin Abraham’s recent record. Abraham’s movie Malaika earned 302 million naira, a figure now eclipsed by Toriola’s achievement.

Big thank you to everyone who has seen this masterpiece, you guys are the best. If you haven’t seen Queen Lateefah yet, today is a great day to see this beautiful story. Lateefanzzzzzzz, you guys rock.”
Fans were quick to comment on the achievement. One user, @jidegoldalaga, reminisced about Toriola’s earlier wish under Funke Akindele’s page for a 500 million naira goal, noting, “See now she’s approaching that figure, insha Allah Amen.” Others like @habeebalagbe congratulated her, calling the film the 7th highest-grossing Nollywood title of all time, while @ayosojumiadeniyi praised her as a smart moviemaker and wished her continued success, saying, “This is just the beginning, brace up!!! More wins, QL.”
With Queen Lateefah continuing to perform strongly at the box office, Toriola is firmly establishing herself as one of Nollywood’s top talents.
