Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode is singing the praises of her senior colleague and boss, Funke Akindele, following her box office achievement.
Nreported on Monday that Funke had made history, becoming the first filmmaker to gross N2 billion at the box office.
Taking to her Instagram page to eulogise her, Juliana described Funke as an exceptional woman. She expressed her gratitude that God continues to bless Funke’s efforts with great success.
The Toyo Baby star said Funke didn’t get to where she is by chance or by fluke, as it has been the result of many years of hard work, bending her back, and working tirelessly with almost nothing.
She noted how Akindele set the pace, paved the way, opened people’s eyes to possibilities, and opened the door to a billion, and didn’t stop there.
“Five times the highest-grossing QUEEN!!!
What an exceptional woman! I don’t even know what to say. I’m so glad that God continues to crown your efforts with great grace and success.
You didn’t get her 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!!!
You set the pace, you paved the way, you opened our eyes to possibilities, and you opened the door to a billion, and we thought it was something. You didn’t stop; now you have shown us that $ 2 billion and more is possible.
I like what it is that God is doing with you. I pray that He doesn’t stop and that His grace continues to carry you now and always.
Congratulations to you, the entire cast and crew.
Cheers to great wins.
GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!”
