Funke Akindele Says She’s Not Done with Politics Yet
Popular Nigerian actress and filmmaker turned politician, Funke Akindele, has opened up about her future in politics after stepping away from the spotlight following her 2023 election loss.
The actress had previously run as deputy to PDP’s Lagos governorship candidate, Abdulazeez Adediran, but they lost to APC’s Babajide Sanwo-Olu. After the election, Funke quietly cleared her social media of all political content and remained silent—until now.
Speaking during the first live edition of the ‘WithChude’ podcast, Funke revealed that the experience hasn’t discouraged her. In fact, it fueled her desire to return to politics.
She shared how the journey taught her strength, courage, and the power of having a voice, especially after observing inspiring female leaders like Abike Dabiri. According to her, politics opened her eyes to deeper knowledge about her state and country, helping her grow more informed and confident. When asked if she plans to run again, her answer was clear and bold: “Oh yes.”
Nigerian comedian and media personality, Nedu Wazobia, speaks on his exit from Wazobia FM.
It can be noted that the comedian has worked with the organization for over a decade — 13 years.
While speaking, he expressed his disappointment with not having a send-forth after his contribution to the media house. “I worked in Wazobia for 13 years plus and when I resigned, they didn’t even do me a send-forth…”
Nigerian singer Omah Lay reveals that he rejected an offer from Davido to work together again on a track.
The singer shared his reason as he revealed this, stating he wants to pursue his career solo before any big collaboration.
“After we dropped the hit song ‘With You’, Davido called me for a new collaboration but I declined because I have my career to pursue too.”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
