Despite being from Auchi, Edo State, actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has explained why she is unable to speak her native Edo language.
At the premiere of the Ginger movie, Toyin spoke with TikToker Jarvis and disclosed that her fluency in Yoruba stems from her marriage to a Yoruba man and her upbringing in Yoruba territory.
“I can’t speak Edo. You know I was born and brought up in Yorubaland. And I married a Yoruba man. So I’m practically Yoruba. I can’t even speak Edo—one bit. But there’s no Yoruba I can’t speak,” she explained.
Born in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, to Edo parents, Toyin grew up immersed in Yoruba culture in Ibadan, Oyo State.
She attended Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, and later Ibadan Polytechnic before pursuing her acting career full-time.
