If Using Afod Brings Disrespect, Change To Your Father’s Name – Wumi Toriola Blasts Desola [VIDEO]

Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has told Desola Afod to change her surname to her father’s name if she believes using her ex-husband’s name brings her disrespect.

Wumi made the remarks after Desola called out theatre professionals for allegedly disrespecting her by addressing her by name.

Desola, who recently revealed that she is 44 years old, had complained about being disrespected at a celebrity gathering. However, she did not mention the name of the individual involved.

Reacting to the development, Wumi criticised Desola for addressing theatre professionals collectively instead of identifying the person she had an issue with.

Wumi also explained that she had previously remained silent about Desola’s actions because she did not want to disrespect her then-husband, veteran actor Kunle Afod.

She advised Desola to drop the Afod surname and use her maiden name or another name if she believed it was causing her problems.

“If you think that the name Afod is giving you problems and disrespect, you can change to your father’s name or use something else like Desola Kilanko. You did a prior video, and this is a response to it. You saying ‘awon oni theater’ (theatre professionals), I find it very insulting and disrespectful.

“If you have issues with anybody, kindly put their names, pictures or mention them in your videos. Saying theatre people, that’s the body that covers what I have worked for and earn from. I will not allow you to disrespect it. If other people from other places are calling us names, then, not from you.

“I remember the other time I had issues with one of my colleagues, you put your mouth in it, and I kept quiet because I didn’t want to disrespect your ex-husband at that time. But this is getting too much. If you have an issue with anyone, please call them out. It’s getting unbearable. You’re not the only raze person. I was also born in the same Agege where you claimed you were born. We are all packaging because of fame.”

Daily Post reports that Desola and Kunle Afod separated in February 2026 after years of recurring breakup posts and rumours surrounding their marriage.
