Toyin Abraham, ‘Oversabi Aunty,’ Celebrates 45th Birthday with New Movie Announcement, Echoes Funke Akindele’s Tradition
Nollywood star Toyin Abraham, affectionately known as the “Oversabi Aunty,” marked her 45th birthday in grand style, delighting fans with the announcement of a new movie set to hit cinemas in December 2025. The actress, following a trend popularized by her colleague Funke Akindele, used the occasion to unveil her latest cinematic project, sparking excitement and drawing comparisons to Akindele’s signature birthday movie reveals.
Taking to her Instagram page, Abraham shared stunning photos of herself dressed in elegant aso-oke, declaring herself the “one and only Oversabi Aunty of Nigeria.” As a birthday gift to her fans, she announced that her hit movie Alakada: Bad and Boujee is now available on Kava TV, while teasing her upcoming film, OSA The Movie, slated for release on December 19, 2025. “Happy Birthday to me — the one and only Oversabi Aunty of Nigeria! Fam, as my birthday gift to you, go watch Alakada Bad and Boujee now on www.kava.tv. Let’s laugh, learn, and enjoy together! #AlakadaBadAndBoujeeOnKava #OversabiAunty #OSAtheMovie #19thDec #InCinemas #1BillionLoading,” she wrote, as reported by Kemi Filani News.
The announcement has drawn parallels to Funke Akindele, who celebrated her 48th birthday on August 24, 2025, by revealing her own blockbuster, Behind The Scenes, also set for a December release. Both actresses, known for their box-office dominance, have a history of using their birthdays to generate buzz for new projects, a strategy that has kept fans eagerly anticipating their films. Abraham’s Alakada: Bad and Boujee recently grossed ₦205 million, while Akindele’s Everybody Loves Jenifa surpassed ₦1 billion, highlighting their competitive yet celebrated presence in Nollywood.
Fans and colleagues flooded Abraham’s comment section with birthday wishes. Actress Ruby Ojiakor wrote, “Happy birthday, my world best,” while Bolaji Ogunmola added, “Happy birthday, world’s best.” Her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, also celebrated her, calling her his soulmate and praying for her continued success. The outpouring of love underscores Abraham’s influence in the industry, where she has starred in and produced hits like Ijakumo: The Born Again Stripper and Malaika.
The announcement has not been without its share of online chatter. Some fans on X praised Abraham’s hustle, with one user, @NollyFanatic, posting, “Toyin and Funke are giving us December heat! Can’t wait for OSA The Movie.” Others noted the competitive undertones, referencing past tensions between the two actresses, which were reportedly resolved in 2023 after Akindele’s heartfelt birthday message to Abraham.
Abraham’s birthday celebration and movie announcement reaffirm her status as a Nollywood powerhouse, continuing to captivate audiences with her creativity and charm. As OSA The Movie gears up for its December premiere, fans are already buzzing with anticipation, ready to see how it stacks up against Akindele’s latest offering in the festive season box-office race.
