Through her performance in Jenifa’s Diary, Nigerian actress Paschaline Alex, better known by her stage name Cordelia, revealed certain details about the personality of Funke Akindele, her coworker.
Funke Akindele was praised by the actress, who called her a “second mother” for her steadfast support throughout her career. In an Instagram post, Paschaline Alex noted that Funke is straightforward and even harsh because she just wants what is best for her.
The Nollywood “Box Office” queen, according to the thespian, taught her to love and never accept anything less than what she deserves.
She went on to say that love, which transcends all other life principles, was one of the most valuable things Funke Akindele had taught her. Paschaline penned:
“@funkejenifaakindele, my second mother You’re always honest, although sometimes brutal, and made me into the woman I am today. From my hair to my clothes, all the way to my major in film, though it changed several times, your support never did. As you’d always say “If you like it, I love it”.
“More importantly, you taught me how to love and never settle for anything less than what I deserve. You showed me my inner beauty, a lesson that didn’t register until later in life but one of the most beneficial lessons you have taught me is the lesson of love which supercedes every other principle of life.”
“Thank you Mama God bless you Agunwanyi @funkejenifaakindele.”
