Funke Akindele shares twinning photos with Iyabo Ojo, and the internet can’t get enough of the adorable moment between the Nollywood stars.
The actress posted the stunning shots on her Instagram page, describing Iyabo as her best friend and joking that they are fully ready for any London owambe while heading to the UK premiere of Behind the Scenes.

8PMIt’s going to be a December to remember.”
Just days earlier, Funke had celebrated Iyabo as her Woman Crush Wednesday, calling her beautiful, stylish, elegant, and praising the confidence and passion she brings to every role.
Their renewed closeness is especially heartwarming, considering the years they spent at odds after Iyabo defended Toyin Abraham when a blogger criticised her film, The Ghost and The Tout. Their reconciliation came in 2022 at the AMVCA season 8, where they warmly embraced and exchanged pecks—marking the start of a fresh bond.
Since then, the actresses have remained supportive of each other. In June, Funke surprised Iyabo with a brand new iPhone 16, keeping her promise to replace her Samsung. In May, she travelled with Iyabo to Tanzania for Priscilla’s wedding finale.
And when Iyabo premiered her film Labake Olododo, Funke not only attended but publicly applauded her for the movie’s visuals and overall execution. She encouraged Iyabo to keep soaring and take her shine boldly.
