It can be recalled that the First Lady said young Nigerians should support the government, adding that those in leadership are under pressure.

Reacting to her remarks, Falz said “What do you mean, pressure on the government? Did anyone beg you to take up this work?

“If I remember clearly, the campaign slogan for this current administration was ‘Emi Lokan.’ Do you know what that translates to in English? It is my turn. I’ve never seen anything more absurd than that in my entire life.”

Nigerian filmmaker Funke Akindele has spoken about her admiration for Tyler Perry, revealing that his work has inspired her journey as a filmmaker.

She explained that watching his movies and seeing the characters he created motivated her creatively and encouraged her to keep growing.

She shared “Today, many upcoming filmmakers say they’ve learnt from my work, and I’m truly grateful for that. That’s how creativity is passed on. We learn, we grow and we inspire others. Never be ashamed of where you started. Keep learning. Keep growing.”

She also revealed on X that Tyler Perry remains one of her biggest role models.
