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.
Social media activist, VeryDarkMan, reacts to Phyna’s sister’s accident involving a truck from Dangote’s company.
The activist claimed that the driver of the truck was neither professional nor licensed. This then sparked reactions from Nigerians, with many alleging unprofessionalism from the company.
Dangote has yet to address the situation at hand, but voices still cry out on behalf of Phyna’s sister, who lost her leg due to the accident and is still in recovery.
Nollywood Actor, Seun Confirm, passes away due to high Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The actor’s death was announced by his colleague, Jaiye Kuti, who took to social media on the 14th of August 2025.
“Seun confirm….. Aaaah lku omo yin dun mi ooooo kabiyesi olorun. Kabiyesi olorun, kabiyesi olorun, ijinle ife alailenikan iku doro . Rest in Peace is cruel o”.
“Not now, lord! Odun mi Sa. Olorun Odun mi o. Aaah Odun mi High BPH. Ama pade lese Jesu. Sun ree o. May God console your family tor.”
Nigerian actress, Kate Henshaw, reacts and demands justice regarding the accident of singer Phyna’s sister, who was involved in a road accident caused by a Dangote Group truck in Edo State.
It can be noted that the young lady underwent surgery to amputate one of her legs and is still at risk of losing her other leg just days after her graduation.
Kate Henshaw stated on social media: “She is the junior sister to @unusualphyna. Whoever owns the truck should own up. Calling on @PoliceNG @BenHundeyin to make sure justice is served.”
However, Phyna took to social media to call out Dangote and claimed it was his company’s truck that caused the accident.
