Toriola, spoke about the challenges of filmmaking. She noted that filmmakers make movies in an economy that constantly tests their limits, and budgets try to silence their vision, yet they refuse to allow it to define their story. She said she doesn’t have it easy, but she still makes it count. She lashed out at upcoming actors charging exorbitant prices. She lamented over how half-baked actors with no intention of growing and working on their craft are now rampant in Nollywood.
In a shading post, Toriola threw shots at an unidentified person, questioning whether the person’s movie is among the top 5, as she stated that her goal isn’t to compete but to remain the best. In 2024, a fan of the actress had reprimanded her for throwing shots at some of her colleagues, advising her to leave others and stop creating enemies for herself and Wumi replied, telling him to shut up.
The talented scrip interpreter, in another post, threw shade at some of her colleagues for rubbishing her efforts. She pointed out the irony at which someone called her a YouTube star, meanwhile some are yet to conquer YouTube and are still floating in the box office world.
