Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham surprised guests on Thursday when she arrived at an industry gathering accompanied by live goats. The movie star made the unexpected entrance at the FilmOne exhibition showcase.
Rather than walking into the venue with cast members to promote her forthcoming project titled Bestie, Abraham decided to bring along the animals instead, according to Kemi Filani. The stunt quickly caught the attention of guests at the programme.
Video footage showing Abraham walking into the event hall with the animals spread across social media shortly after the gathering. The display sparked varied discussions online, with viewers sharing contrasting opinions about the promotional approach.
Abraham is widely recognised in the Nigerian film industry as a box-office powerhouse. Her career includes massive commercial hits such as the Alakada comedy franchise, as well as high-profile cinema releases like Ijakumo and Malaika, which drew major theatrical audiences nationwide.
The filmmaker is known for carrying out bold marketing campaigns whenever she is preparing to release a new production into cinemas. Her promotional efforts often feature theatrical stunts and heavy public engagement to build anticipation among moviegoers.
Her latest public appearance has now generated fresh debate online over the limits of movie marketing. While some observers viewed the scene as a daring publicity move, others questioned whether using live animals suited the showcase setting.
