Funke Akindele, has disclosed that studying Law at the University was to
please her father, who wanted her to be a lawyer. The talented act said
she has always had passion for entertainment.
Funke Akindele stated that even though she does not have the intention
to practice what she studied in school, but she enjoys it, adding that
Law is interesting and beautiful, which she reflects in her stories in
movies. The actress praised her mum who she said understood and gave her
the opportunity to try her hands in acting, which eventually paid off.
Funke Akindele, who started her acting career in the English speaking
sector of the Nigerian film industry, which many regard as the core
Nollywood, stated that she did not get the needed fame from that area
and got frustrated.
According to her, she left for the Yoruba speaking aspect of Nollywood
because she felt that there was no place for her in the core Nollywood.
The actress got a big break in the movie industry after she released her
self-produced flick, ‘Jenifa’, and is now very busy in the English
speaking area of the film industry in Nigeria.
She explained that the difference between the two industries is that
those who act in English movies are better paid, while those in the
Yoruba sector make more money through movie production.
