Nollywood actress Funke Akindele is getting dragged following her birthday post.

The actress, who turned 49, had shared glammed photos of herself online, as she made a simple prayer to God. She expressed gratitude for all He had done, noting how through every season, lesson, win, mistake, and challenge, God has remained her strength and shield.

Her birthday post didn’t sit well with many who noted how the industry is mourning the death of Taiwo Hassan.

One Ayofe wrote, “Shey you no dey read the room no? Na birthday be the next thing to dey post?

One Olayinka Mujeeb Aden wrote, “Aunty Funke, shame on you! We are mourning the death of Ogogo. And you dey post about birthday. Omo, this is not fair

One OAR Azeez wrote, “Why you no shift your birthday to another day? You lost a prominent person in your industry, which comes to sober reflection. Remember that death is inevitable

One Kanel tweeted, “If I were you, Aunty Funke, I woulda forgo the celebration of my birth for the year. Today should be all about the passing of Ogogo. But we are not the same person. Happy birthday to you, and I wish you long life in good health. I wish for you to continue to prosper.

One Constantinople wrote, “A colleague of yours just died even though you sent your condolences yesterday, and so?
A colleague and a legend, but here u are posting a photo shoot coz you’re too hungry to post on ur birthday. What a good human being you are. Congratulations hbd! Hurrrrraaayy yeye

One Oriretan Honour wrote, “Funke, celebrating birthday amidst Ogogo’s d£ath is unwise, insensitive. More unw!se internet, ppl are m0urning yet making joyful post. U went to the studio, did makeup, snapped, and posted when Ogogo’s d£ath is trending. Why dragging the trend with the d£ad? You’ve 48hrs to apologise and delete this. Fast. Bé wise”.
