Funke Akindele Says Success Comes from Hard Work and Doing Tough Jobs
Funke Akindele, a well-known Nigerian actress and producer, recently shared some real talk about what it truly takes to succeed. During a chat on the ‘WithChude’ podcast, she made it clear that anyone aiming for greatness must be ready to roll up their sleeves and do the gritty work most people shy away from.
According to her, success doesn’t just come from talent or luck. It’s built on hard work, consistency, and being fully committed to one’s goals. Funke pointed out that many people admire her achievements and want the same spotlight, but what they often miss is the behind-the-scenes hustle.
“I tell them all the time—if you want to make it, you have to put in serious effort and handle the tough parts nobody talks about,” she said.
She added that despite her fame, she doesn’t let it distract her. Instead, she keeps her head down, stays focused, and avoids getting carried away by praise or current wins. For her, staying original and being aware of who she is has been key to staying ahead in the game.
Though she acknowledges the role of spirituality, she believes her drive, attention to detail, and passion for excellence are what truly fuel her success—especially her impressive run of box office hits over the past four years.
Funke also opened up about dealing with personal challenges. She explained that when life gets tough, she chooses not to let it weigh her down or stop her from moving forward.
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.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
