Juliana emphasized that Akindele’s journey was marked by seasons of hardship, pain, and struggle, long before fame and abundance arrived.
“You didn’t get here by chance or by fluke; it’s many years of hard work, bending your back and working tirelessly, in brokenness, in pain, with sweat, tears and blood. With almost nothing, with a little, and with abundance. You didn’t flinch!!!”
She also praised Funke for being a trailblazer who changed the narrative of what is possible in Nollywood, opening doors for others to dream bigger.
