Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi is still currently doing the rounds promoting her latest movie Ijakumo: Born Again Stripper. If there is one thing we've learnt about Toyin Abraham throughout this press run, it's that the actress is very spiritual. In fact, it looks like her spiritualness starts all the way from her birth. During a new interview with This Day Newspaper, Toyin Abraham opened up about the strange spiritual story around her birth, as well as why she keeps her circle so small. Here is what Toyin Abraham said.

Toyin Abraham as a child

Speaking about her birth and the strange circumstances around it, Toyin Abraham said:

TOYIN ABRAHAM: I’m extremely spiritual. One of the problems I had back then was that I didn’t listen to myself. I would hear the voice of the Lord, and I would see it in my dreams, but I would still want to follow my flesh. But ever since I started following the lead of the Holy Spirit, things have drastically changed for me and I’m extremely happy about it. I’m actually dada - those people that naturally have dreadlocks from birth.

Since birth, I have been spiritual. My parents told me that I was stillborn so they had to throw me away. Then there was a clergyman from Ibadan who came to the hospital and asked about me and I was brought back to life. I was told that I never cried or did anything until the day of my naming ceremony. It was the moment they named me Oluwatoyin that I started crying as a baby. Again, when they wanted to shave off my locks they had to tell me it was the Holy Spirit because I didn’t want them to do it.

Speaking about why she keeps her circle so small, Toyin Abraham said:

TOYIN ABRAHAM: I decided to have a small circle because there was too much noise in my head. There is always noise around me, both positive and negative. I am not a careful person. My heart is so free. I am someone you can trust with anything. You can do whatever you want to do in my presence. I’m someone you can tell anything to, you can be who you want to be in my presence. I won’t judge you. Anything you do in my presence, that’s where it ends.

I feel I do the same to the people thinking they are like me but it has affected me in many ways so I decided to make my circle very tiny and I’m happy. These are people who genuinely love me even when I mess up… because I’m not perfect. Even Jesus drove out people who turned his father’s house into something else with a cane. Jesus was angry. So I’m not perfect, I will do things that will make you angry but you know a lot of people, once you are an actress, people hardly forgive your mistakes. Things that ordinarily they will take from others, when it gets to you, they will go on social media. Although one is expected to get a thick skin with these criticisms, when it happens too often, one needs to be careful enough.
