Nollywood superstar Funke Akindele, fondly regarded as the box office queen, recently opened up about her humble beginnings and the pivotal roles her colleagues Iyabo Ojo and Tayo Odueke (Sikiratu Sindodo) played in shaping her journey to stardom.

While enjoying a vacation in Ghana with Eniola Badmus and skitmaker Kamo State, Funke Akindele shared heartfelt stories of her struggles and the immense support she received early in her career. The actress took a moment to recall how Iyabo Ojo and Sikiratu Sindodo stood by her during challenging times, enabling her to rise above numerous obstacles.

In a candid video posted on her Snapchat, Funke revealed that Sikiratu Sindodo often lent her clothes to help her appear polished and confident on movie sets. She also recounted Iyabo Ojo’s unwavering support, which included speaking up for her and ensuring she was noticed by industry insiders. Funke humorously mimicked Iyabo’s bold defense of her when a producer rejected her, emphasizing the strength of their friendship.

This isn’t the first time Funke has publicly appreciated her colleagues. Last year, during an interview with Toke Makinwa, she highlighted their instrumental roles in combating the stereotypes she faced due to her physical appearance, which some considered unattractive at the time.

Funke’s journey to becoming the highest-grossing actress in West Africa has been nothing short of inspiring. With blockbusters like Everybody Loves Jenifa, A Tribe Called Judah, Battle on Buka Street, and Omo Ghetto: The Saga, she has consistently shattered box office records, with two of her films grossing over a billion naira.

Meanwhile, Iyabo Ojo’s reputation as a pillar of support continues to grow. Actress Ashabi Olorisha recently reposted Funke’s video and praised Iyabo for her kind heart, offering prayers for her continued blessings. Iyabo’s consistent acts of kindness extend beyond Funke’s narrative, with several colleagues sharing how she has positively impacted their lives. From offering accommodation to Kiitan Bukola after the demolition of her home to helping Bimbo Success’s twins during a health crisis, Iyabo Ojo has cemented her place as a compassionate and supportive figure in Nollywood.
