“Internet dragging and ICU are siblings”.

“I have heard you all, will do better next time. Wish me quick recovery.”

For those who don’t know, Afeez Owo had in a recent interview said:

“Mide’s character in the movie is totally different from real life, but Wumi’s movie role is close to her character in real life. Violence is her comfort zone.

“Wumi will react when provoked and she doesn’t take nonsense from anyone. But if you offend Mide in real life, she will remain calm.”

Wumi Toriola, in a reaction said:

“Must every rift be taken to podcasts? They gave you a mic, and you started saying rubbish. After they entertained you with pepper soup, you started blabbing.”

“Am I a mad woman? If people don’t offend me, will I be angry? I have never insulted you before. I still respect you despite your unfortunate behaviour.”
