Toyin Abraham's long-held tradition of kneeling
For Toyin Abraham, kneeling before her husband and elders is far from a performance.
The actress has spoken about the practice on multiple occasions, defending it against critics who viewed it as excessive, and stating that it is a value rooted in her upbringing that she plans to pass down to the next generation.
The moment carries additional significance given recent events.
Just weeks before the concert, commentator Bukky Jesse made claims online that the couple were facing marital difficulties and that Toyin Abraham had relocated to a separate residence.
The actress swiftly pushed back, invoking a spiritual declaration that divorce was not in their future and affirming that their union remained solid.
The couple married in 2019 and are parents to a son together.
