Nigerian actress, Juliana Olayode, better known as Toyo Baby has taken to her social media page to express gratitude after reuniting with her former boss and mentor, Funke Akindele on her new movie project.
In excitement, Juliana announced to be a part of the cast of Funke’s upcoming film, titled “A Tribe Called Judah”, alongside Ebele Okaro, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Timini Egbuson, and others.
She shared the trailer of the movie via her Instagram page, as fans flocked to the comments section to express their delight at the actress reuniting with the filmmaker six years after her dramatic exit from Funke’s hit series Jenifa’s Dairy.
It would be recalled that the fight between the two actresses started in 2017 after Juliana was dropped from the series due to monetary issues.

However, in May 2023, the “ Jenifer Diary” star, in a lengthy note on an Instagram post to Funke Akindele, claimed that her lack of understanding of the movie business caused her to fall out with Funke whom she described as a miracle God used to bring her to fame.
But on Tuesday, October 31, Juliana posted a video of herself on Instagram showing off her dance moves, while expressing her joy at her return to Funke’s Scene One TV family.
Sharing the video, she captioned her post by thanking Funke for giving her the chance to portray Hilda on A Tribe Called Judah.
She also said that she was so excited to be working with Funke that she ended up crying on set.
She wrote; “We are COMING!!! A Tribe Called Judah is coming to the cinema on the 15th of December mark your calendars.
“Thank you for all the excitement and messages since I posted the video introducing the characters of A Tribe Called Judah yesterday. Posting this reel so y’all can see that I am as excited as you are.
“I was so excited I cried on set. Thank you so much mama @funkejenifaakindele for the opportunity to play Hilda. You are simply the BEST.”
