“Our film has been officially selected for the 8th edition of the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival. God be praised!
I’m particularly excited about this one!

A few days ago, Tobi Makinde appreciated his mentor, Funke Akindele, when he received high recognition amongst Nollywood stars.
The talented film actor and director was nominated among other fast rising Nollywood actors to look forward to in 2024.
According to Top Charts Africa, Tobi Makinde, otherwise known as Shinene or Tinini, is one of the most refined, talented and hardworking.
In return, Makinde appreciated the writer for sharing such knowledge about him with the public and Funke Akindele for giving him the platform to be seen and recognized.
However, there were reports that Funke Akindele and Tobi Makinde are not on good terms, with claims that the former was trying to hold down the latter from exploring his talent.
Makinde debunked the rumours that Funke Akindele doesn’t treat her workers right, saying that he wouldn’t have been where he is without the love, training and tutelage of the actress.
Speaking from experience, he stated that the movie star has been so kind to him, and her love for him is not something he will forget in a hurry.
