INTERVIEW
Funke
Akindele:
Woman. Media Personality.
Politician & The Break up
By Ameena Daayo
Funke Akindele is blessed with millions
of fans across the globe – but only
a handful of people know who she
really is.
The celebrated entertainment superstar
boasts of over 20 million active followers
across her social media, but in reality,
these fans and admires do not really like
Funke Akindele – or admire her. No, the
truth is that society loves and admires ‘Bisi,’
‘Jenifa,’ or ‘Sulia’ – not Funke.
These were the characters that Funke
Akindele has been akin to over time. She
played the role of ‘Bisi’ – an inquisitive
17-year-old in the popular sex and health
educational TV drama series ‘I Need to
Know.’ In Jenifa’s Diary, she is ‘Jenifa’, and
in Aiyetoro Town, she was ‘Sulia.’
So, in the minds of many fans and
admirers, when you mention Funke
Akindele, what plays in their mind’s eye is
Bisi, Jenifa, or Sulia.
In this feature, we bring to you –
Funke Akindele: The woman, media
personality, and politician. This feature is an
accumulation of many verbal interviews
granted by Funke Akindele on her personal
life, career, family, and political career.
I bet you are as excited as I am to find
out who the true Funke Akindele really is –
outside the characters she is most famous
for, of course. Hop on and join me on
this jolly ride, as we go into the world of
Funke Akindele in a vehicle driven by the
superstar actress, producer, and politician
– and those who know her closely.
