"IYALODE Is My First Epic Movie in 15 Years" – Bukky Wright Returns to Nollywood, Credits Toyin Abraham for Her Comeback

Veteran actress Bukky Wright has made a highly anticipated return to Nollywood after more than 15 years away from the industry. She revealed that Toyin Abraham played a key role in convincing her to feature in the upcoming epic movie Iyalode.


Speaking at the FilmOne Exhibitors Showcase in Lagos on Wednesday, Bukky Wright shared how Toyin persuaded her to take on the role. “Iyalode happens to be my first epic movie in a very long time—about 15 years. Toyin was like, ‘Mommy, you have to come,’ and I said, ‘Toyin, I’m not coming, I can’t.’ But here I am. And like I told you guys last week, ‘I am back to stay,’” she declared.


Toyin Abraham also announced that Iyalode will hit cinemas on June 6, 2025, with an exclusive advanced screening on June 4. The movie features an impressive cast, including Kehinde Bankole, Iyabo Ojo, Muyiwa Ademola, Wale Ojo, and Kolawole Ajeyemi, and is directed by Adebayo Tijani.


The film has been generating excitement since wrapping up production in July 2024, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. Bukky Wright, who has spent over a decade abroad, recently expressed her enthusiasm about returning to Nollywood and taking on more major roles in the next phase of her career.
