#WCW- Funke Akindele Bello

-






If you are around age 20 and above, you will probably remember Bisi the curious but highly intelligent secondary school student that featured in the TV show sponsored by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) “I NEED TO KNOW”.


Funke Akindele is a screen goddess who is very popular for her hilarious roles in the Nollywood movie industry. She was born in August 24 1976. She went to the University of Lagos, and bagged a Law certificate. Today, the Law certificate is not in use but we bet the knowledge acquired as a Law Student plays a big part in all the movie contracts and other deals the super talented producer has to sign.




The Nollywood actress, producer, and most recently rapper, runs a non-governmental organization known as THE JENIFA FOUNDATION, whose aims and objectives involves nurturing talents and acquiring vocational skills. Over the years, Funke has featured in several English and Yoruba movies. She is best known for her hit movie 'Jenifa', which has returned to screens as a TV series ‘Jenifas Diary. Funke Akindele has won loads of award such as AMAA (2009) -Best Actress Leading Role, NEA Awards (2009) -Best Actress, 2012 NEA Awards -Best Actress, 2014 AMVCA Awards -Best Actress (Comedy), ELOY Awards -Brand Ambassador of the Year, 2016 Naija Fm Awards -Best Actress In Comedy, 2017 AMVCA Awards -Best Actress In A Comedy Series, Best Comedy Series (Jenifa’s Diary), among others.

Corporate beggars seem to be back in town and this time around, they are back in re branded styles.

You would agree with me that, seeing a good looking man who is all dressed up in tuxedo, carrying a fancy brief case and wearing a pair of shoe so well polished that you can almost see your reflection in them on the street of Lagos is not at all a concern. However, it becomes one when this corporately dressed man, walks up to a lady not to make advances, but to seek assistance backing it up with a really pathetic story. This was my experience a few days ago, at the Oshodi area of Lagos. This handsome looking guy, walked up to me and said: (not the exact word...
