Funke Akindele: Woman, Media Personality, Politician And The Break-Up

INTERVIEW Who is Funke

INTERVIEW Who is Funke Akindele? Well, Funke Akindele is a simple human being, woman, and mother. As you may already know, she doesn’t like to put her personal life out there in the public. She even refused to reveal the facial identity of her kids – just to protect them from the media. She is a wonderful human being – talented, creative, and super hardworking. Funke was born on 24 August 1977. She starred in the sitcom “I Need to Know” from 1998 to 2002, and in 2009, she won the Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Since then, she has not looked back and has gone on to star and produce some of Nigeria’s most popular and successful TV drama, and movies. Glamsquad Exclusive: Can You Tell Us About Your First Marriage? The only reason why I would share this is because of the young ladies out there who want to get married because of the hype of having a big wedding. Many of them just want to party. They need to calm down and take their time. If you rush in, you will rush out. Lessons learnt. I am not trying to drag anybody; I am going to talk about me. I just want to get married and have children. I went into the marriage and it did not work. It ended in a very bad way on social media. I was actually filming when someone called me and told me. I cried, I lost some good deals then but I did not let it break me. I thank God for my mum, she advised me to continue working. I focused on my career. I was just collecting many scripts in the East. 14 www.glamsquadmagazine.com

INTERVIEW My mum was living in Ajah at the time. I’ll wake up as early as 3am and by 4, I am out to the airport, waiting for the 7:30pm flight to Enugu. That was how I survived that period. My advice to young ladies is that they should get married for love, not because of pressure. Have children because you want to, not because of society , ignore the gossips and naysayers. ;do what makes you happy. Why Have You Kept the Identity of Your Kids a Secret? Don’t you see my home? Don’t you see my husband? Don’t you see the back of my children? How is that one private? The children’s face is that what you are trying to say? No. When they are old enough, they should show their faces if they want to. But for now, I don’t want them to show their faces. I want them to have their lives and enjoy it. Their dad and I are already in the public eye. They are children, don’t forget. They are children . They are vulnerable so you have to just keep them away, keep them safe. Let them go to school, let them enjoy their lives without “Ah!” that’s Jenifa’s son. That’s JJC’s son. Ah see his leg, see his face. Leave them private! How Did Your Acting Career Begin? Like you know “I need to know” launched me to limelight. It was a new ground for me and I felt so privileged working under the auspices of Uncle Lloyd Weaver, an American. Playing the role of “Bisi” an inquisitive 17-year-old when I was actually in my 20s was quite challenging, but he brought out the best in me. www.glamsquadmagazine.com 15
