Funke Akindele Celebrates Iyabo Ojo’s Historic Box Office Triumph
Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo’s latest film, The Return of Arinzo, grossed ₦104.8 million on its opening weekend. It set records as the highest-earning Easter release, the biggest Nollywood sequel debut, and the second-highest opening of 2026. Her friend and colleague Funke Akindele took to Instagram to congratulate her “Queen Mother,” calling the win well deserved and proof that excellence always speaks. She added, “More records to break, more greatness to come.” Since reconciling in 2022, the two actresses have supported each other’s premieres and personal milestones—from Funke’s remembrance of her late mother to big gifts like a brand-new iPhone 16. Their close bond continues to inspire fans.
