The long-standing tension between Nollywood powerhouses Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham has resurfaced, but veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, better known as Ogogo, is making it clear that he has no intention of playing peacemaker.
During a recent sit-down with Feel Right TV, the legendary actor explained his hands-off approach following a viral moment at Iyabo Ojo’s movie premiere. The event saw Akindele seemingly ignore Abraham, sparking rumors that their brief reconciliation last year has officially soured.
Key Reasons for His Neutrality
Ogogo offered a blunt perspective on why he believes male intervention in such disputes is often futile:
-
The Nature of Disagreements: He argued that while men typically resolve issues with a laugh and a handshake, women’s disputes can become disproportionately intense. He compared the scale of their friction to “Hitler’s war,” suggesting that minor slights often escalate beyond repair.
-
A Question of Wisdom: The veteran actor noted that both women have achieved immense success and divine favor. He expressed frustration that, despite their blessings, they remain locked in a cycle of conflict.
-
The “Stupidity” of Interference: In no uncertain terms, Ogogo stated that any man attempting to mediate these specific arguments is “stupid.” He believes the responsibility lies solely with the two actresses to regain their perspective.
“Not My Business”
Ultimately, Ogogo’s stance is one of detached observation. He maintains that since both women are highly favored by God and public success, they should eventually realize the pointlessness of their rivalry on their own.
“Very soon, they will come back to their senses,” he remarked, concluding that the drama simply isn’t his concern.
This latest development adds another layer to the complex history of the two stars, proving that in the world of Nollywood, even a public “truce” can be incredibly fragile.
