The Rise and Rise of Funke Akindele



Olufunke Akindele popularly known as Jenifa or Omo Ghetto is now a name that resonates with creativity, brilliance and stardom.

The iconic Nollywood Star Actress keeps growing in the movie industry so much that her current status has now become a prayer point for many in that industry. 

It was never rosy for this talented star who came into public consciousness when she starred in the popular high school sitcom back in the day titled "I Need To Know", a programme geared at educating Nigerian youths at the time. She acted alongside Nollywood Star Actress Carole King among others. 

From "I Need To Know", Funke journeyed through the Yoruba arm of Nollywood where she eventually carved a niche for herself and as they usually say, the rest is history. 

Now, Funke has done many enviable works and she totally deserves every accolade that comes her way. It was indeed impressive the way she smashed box office figures with blockbusters such as Omo Ghetto and A Tribe Called Judah which went on to become the very first N1bn movie in the history of Nollywood. 

Now that her new flick "Everybody Loves Jenifa" is currently showing in cinemas all over Nigeria and beyond, it is left to be seen if her new project's sale would dwarf the previous one. 

One thing is sure in the Nigerian movie space and it is that Everybody Loves Jenifa!!!
