Nollywood star Toyin Abraham is fast cementing her status as one of Nigeria’s top filmmakers. Her 2025 cinema release, Oversabi Aunty, has already grossed an impressive ₦711 million in just 18 days, breaking her previous box office records.

Sharing the milestone on Instagram, Toyin expressed her gratitude to God and her fans, saying her heart is full. She thanked moviegoers for their support and urged them to continue watching and spreading the word.

“I may not have the perfect words, but my heart is full. Thank You, Lord, and thank you to every single person watching and supporting Oversabi Aunty. I am deeply grateful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Oversabi Aunty is still showing in cinemas near you. Keep watching, keep spreading the word. I love you all.”

Just a week ago, the film had already earned ₦382,897,436 in 11 days, surpassing the pace of her previous movies, which took three weeks to hit similar numbers.

Toyin was visibly moved by the overwhelming reception she received in Bonny Island, Port Harcourt. She shared photos of packed cinemas and praised the audience for their unmatched energy and love.

Last year, the actress celebrated another milestone when Oversabi Aunty first crossed ₦100 million at the box office. Toyin, who is married to Kolawole Ajeyemi, credited her success to God while acknowledging the unwavering support of her fans.

Her achievements continue a remarkable run. Early last year, her previous cinema release, Alakada Bad and Boujee, became the 5th highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time. In recognition of her impact on the industry, Silverbird honored Toyin with the Trailblazer Award at the 2024 Silverbird Man of the Year Awards, citing her fearless approach, dynamism, and contribution to redefining Nollywood.

Reflecting on her journey, Toyin shared on Instagram that the award is a reminder that hard work, perseverance, and passion never go unnoticed, acknowledging that challenges along the way have shaped her career. She also emphasized that her true competition is herself, expressing deep appreciation to her fans and supporters.

"This represents a significant development in our ongoing coverage of current events."
