Film Critic Tolu Fagbure Declares Wumi Toriola Nollywood’s Best Actress

Renowned critic Tolu Fagbure recently praised Wumi Toriola as a cut above Funke Akindele, Mercy Aigbe and Toyin Abraham in acting skill. He highlighted her role in Queen Latifa, noting its strong production values and her humility in hiring a producer she trusted. Toriola’s rise in the last two years has been remarkable. Her first cinema release opened to ₦57.7 million, the highest for a non-holiday weekend by an independent distributor. She also ranked second-highest producer of 2024 and won the NFVCB’s Box Office Champion award. The actress has embraced the YouTube platform and recently celebrated her online impact after returning from abroad. She’s challenged colleagues still focused on traditional box-office routes to step up their game.
