Wumi Toriola calls out people using hormones to justify toxic behaviour

Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Wumi Toriola, has taken a swipe at individuals who blame their poor behavior on hormonal changes, urging them to take responsibility for their actions.

In a candid post shared on Instagram, Toriola mocked the widespread tendency to attribute bad conduct to hormonal imbalances, humorously revealing that she also secretes both estrogen and testosterone but doesn’t use it as an excuse to act out.

“Be lying on hormones and be misbehaving. Me sef dey secrete oestrogen and testosterone at the same time. Ki gbogbo wa ku go nùts,” she wrote.

Toriola criticized people who hide behind hormonal excuses while behaving poorly and then play the victim when confronted.

“People hiding gidigba under hormones to be acting weird. And then they say you are now the problem when you dish a bowl of what they served first,” she added.

Encouraging self-awareness and kindness, she concluded, “Be kind, na all of us dey this ALOT.”
