why I changed my name from ‘Aimakhu’ to ‘Abraham’ – Toyin Abraham reveals shocking spiritual revelations
Popular Nollywood and award winning actress Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has finally revealed why she decided to change her name from Aimakhu to Abraham.
The producer of latest Nollywood title, “Ijakumo: The Born Again Stripper,” is having a wonderful year and enjoying a fantastic time in her career right now. Toyin Abraham is cashing out, and is cashing out big! The actress has come a long way since being solely an actress acting in Yoruba movies, to being one of the most bankable movie actresses and producers here in Nigeria.
During an interview with The Will Downtown, Toyin Abraham said:
TOYIN ABRAHAM: My dad’s family name is Aimakhu, short for Aimakhume, which means ‘you are just chasing me for nothing.’ People told us to change it a very long time ago, but I didn’t listen because I had started acting with it. All my sisters were married then, so they had already changed it to their husbands’ last names. The only son we have in our family changed his name to David Abraham. One day, a vision came; a pastor from CAC (Christ Apostolic Church) told my mum to tell me to change the name. The pastor said the name is not good as it will make people beef with me for no reason. And that was something that used to happen a lot. My life changed.
