This Throwback Picture Of Wizkid Will Motivate You To Greatness (SEE PHOTO)







Well, I am not a fan of motivational quotes and too much inspirational talks. I have always believe that anybody can make it as long as you don’t stop doing what you know how to do best.

Above is a picture of Wizkid many years ago. It’s sure the now Starboy was just an ordinary artiste on the street of Surulere in the picture hoping that one day music will change his life and take him around the world.

Today, Wizkid has gone a long way in his musical career from being the best in Nigeria to biggest in Africa while also doing quite well on the international stage.





The Lesson Of The Story
Whatever you’re into now that seems so though that you’re already thinking you are never going to make it can make you billionaire tomorrow

2019: What’ll happen if Buhari refuses to handover power after defeat – Atiku



Former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has revealed what will happen should President Muhammadu Buhari refuse to leave office in an event he is defeated in 2019.


Atiku, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said if President is defeated at the polls, he will have no choice than to step aside.

According to him, any refusal to step aside and handover power peacefully will plunge the country into political crisis, a situation the President may not want.


Speaking on a short interview on Pulse TV, the ex-Vice President said, “Buhari will have to leave power if he is voted out unless he wants to plunge this country into political crisis and I don’t believe he’ll want to do that.

“But so far, he has done badly as far as electoral processes are concerned because there have been serious breaches of fundamental electoral processes.

“I felt there was a need for someone like me who’s experienced in politics; experienced in governance; experience in business to try and restore and bring back the country on track as far as economic development was concerned.”

Graduating With Second Class Lower Is No Longer An Option


A young life-coach Vincent Adeoba, has advised Nigerian students not to opt for a Second-class lower honours due to the very competitive nature of the labour market in Nigeria.



Vincent Adeoba

I have been encouraging undergraduates in my engagements especially on campuses not to consider second class lower (2:2) any longer as a grade to graduate with. The Nigeria labour market is competitive more than ever before and to think you will get your dream job with second class lower grade may be impossible.

The least you should graduate with is second class upper (2:1). Many of the big firms and multinationals rarely give any candidate with 2:2 grade opportunity to write their tests not to talk of getting to the interview room to show what you are made of. You need to give your academic all your efforts while on campus to make sure you don’t go below 2:1 even if it means graduating with 3.50 CGPA on dot.

I know a lot of smart people who are still at home looking for a job just because they graduated with 2:2. Some of them wrote professional exams thinking it will quickly increase their chances of getting a good job but still they are missing a lot of opportunities for not doing enough to get into the 2:1 circle.

What an employer of labour will first request for in Nigeria is not the number of qualifications you have but what you graduated with from the university especially if you are trying to get in through the graduate trainee recruitment.

In recent time, employers of labour in attempt to save energy from having to remove 2:2 CVs from their job entries always make sure they include minimum of 2:1 in their requirements and some already set up their system in a way that it automatically remove the CV of any graduate with 2:2. The only job that banks are magnanimous enough to allow 2:2 to apply for is cashier job.

If you are still on campus, you need to be more serious with your study and if you are a graduate with 2:2, here are my advice for you:

1. Put in for a skill acquisition program with a vision to build a business around the skill later.

2. Start a business with little capital and be resolute.

3. Get into the tech space to see if you can come up with a disruptive idea.

4. Go for masters abroad if your parents can afford it or look for scholarship opportunity.

5. Pick up any job opportunity that relates with what you studied even if the pay is poor and make sure you learn as much as you can on the job.

6. Develop relationship with people in your dream companies as that may help you get in through their experience hire recruitment (This is key).

7. Start your professional exams

The worst thing that can happen to you is to sit at home wasting your life because you are yet to get a job. If the paid jobs are not forthcoming. Look for a pro bono service and be committed to it. Volunteer for programs and make sure you network with people.

No matter what, don’t give up on yourself and never believe that you can’t succeed because you finished with 2:2. We have a lot of people who finished with 2:2 and are successful. Your life is up to you, don’t loan it to your certificate.

Banky W Speaks Angrily On His Role In His Marriage To Adesuwa Etomi..

Nigerian frontline R&B singer, Banky W, has said there was nothing wrong with him playing the role of his wife’s photographer.

While speaking in an exclusive interview with PUNCH’s Saturday Beats, Nigerian singer, Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, disclosed that there was no big deal in taking his wife’s pictures in public despite his fame and fortunes.

The Wedding party actor, has been seen on several occasions trying to take good photographs of his wifem and one of the occasions was captured at actor, Gabriel Afolayan’s wedding.

In a swift reaction to criticisms that trailed his public show of love with his wife, the singer said, “Why would I feel bad taking pictures of my wife in public?


“She is my wife and the two of us are one. We are always there for each other and if she needs me to take a picture of her, I would be her photographer. It is the same way around as well; she does the same thing for me.

“Marriage is a teamwork and you should be the one that your partner can depend on and it goes both ways. That is the way we operate, there is no big deal in being my wife’s photographer or taking pictures of my wife. What is it in taking pictures of my wife?”

Speaking on a post his wife put on her Instagram page earlier in the week about how her former school, University of Wolverhampton, honoured her by putting her picture on the wall, the ecstatic husband said, “I am very proud of my wife and I am happy for her. I mean she is an amazing and talented woman and one of the most incredible people I have met in life.

“I am very happy for her because to be celebrated by a university is not a small feat. I feel she posted it to encourage people and let them know that even if they are struggling about a situation at the moment, it does not mean that it cannot turn out fine or turn around for good.


“If you are struggling right now, it does not mean that you would not be victorious eventually. When I read the post, I was also very encouraged because to move from a point where you were struggling to actually be celebrated is really a good thing and it shows that there is nothing God cannot do with your life.”

The singer said further that he nurses no fears of getting fat and gave some tips he follows to ensure he keeps fit.

“The thing about gaining or losing weight is that it is a combination of diet and exercise. First, you have to work on your diet and make sure that you do not always eat junk food or meals that would make you fat. You also need to work out. Once you are able to balance these two factors, you would be alright,” Mr. Capable said.

NYSC Penalties Decision: Davido Abandoned Orientation Camp For US Musical Tour..

The fear most people had, that Davido, the OBO crooner’s involvement with the National Youth Service Corps was a publicity stunt, appears to be materializing as report has it the singer has abandoned Youth Camp for a music tour in United State of America.

Penultimate weekend, it was in the media that Davido visited the NYSC orientation camp at Iyana-Ipaja to complete his registration. But a forty-eight hour later to the surprise of other Corps members, the singer is on his way to Boston for his ‘Locked Up’ tour of the United States of America.

Nevertheless, the general rule of the Corps stated that all NYSC members are expected to be present at the camp during the three weeks’ orientation programme, without any form of exception. What’s happening in Davido’s case?

Davido’s NYSC colleagues at the orientation ground are wondering if the law will be bent or allowed to take it full impact in the matter.

Excerpts from the NYSC Bye-laws revised in 1993 give strict rules for corps members during the orientation period.

According to Schedule 1: 3b:

During the period of orientation, every member shall:

(i) Attend regularly, punctually and participate fully in all official engagements on the field, at the lecture and all places of work;

(ii) Not leave the Orientation Camp or absent himself from any official activity without the written consent of the State Director or his representative;

(iii) When absent from his duties on account of illness ensure that such absence is covered by an “Excuse Duty Certificate” issued by a medical doctor then on duty at the camp.”

Davido breaks

The Bye-laws also state penalties for leaving the camp without the permission of the State Director.

According to Schedule 2: 1b states that:

“The following penalties shall be imposed in the following circumstances.

“Leaving the camp without permission of the State Director” will attract “extension of the service year by double the number of days for which the member was absent from his camp and forfeiture of his allowance for the same number of days of which he was absent.”

My father always tells us his wealth is not ours –Tolani Otedola
punchng.com

Background

I was born and raised in Lagos; and I had a lot of fun while growing up. My parents were very good at keeping us aware of the realities of life. We were never overindulged. We have always been encouraged to pursue our dreams and to seek our own lives as we grow older. I am very grateful to my parents for the kind of woman I am right now. I think they did a fantastic job in nurturing me and my younger sisters. Some of my earliest memories were the times I spent in the car with my father playing loud music. I think that was one of the reasons I fell in love with music. Even though my father is not a musician, he loves music. We grew up in a house where music was always played.

Education

I had my elementary education at Grange School in Ikeja, Lagos. For my post-elementary education, I attended Adesoye College, Offa, Kwara State. I later studied Psychology for my first and second degree at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. It was nice to travel around the world. When I first got to the United Kingdom, it was hard for me to cope without my parents. However, I got used to it because I had already gone to a boarding school for my post-elementary education. A major challenge was the weather; it was extremely cold.

Parents’ support

I have always wanted to do music even before I went to the university. My parents encouraged me to keep my passion but they wanted me to complete my university education first. They wanted me to have an alternative source of livelihood. We all know that anything that has to do with creativity is not guaranteed; so, you should have a plan B just in case things don’t work out as planned. I am glad that they raised me that way. Once I was done with my university education, they allowed me to pursue a career in music.

Music

Music is where my heart belongs. I have always been artistic and I used to be a choir member in school and church. However, I have not thrown away the business brain I inherited from my parents. For an artiste to become successful, he or she must be a good business person as well. The fact that you have not heard much about me was intentional. I was in the university and I went to music school too. I had to learn how to play instruments and how to write music very well. I also sang at gigs in the UK and got paid. Over there, that is how it works; you don’t just wake up and say you want to be a musician. You have to pay your dues. When I was at the university, I was in a band of four. I have been recording for years because I have a studio at home, I just released my first official single, Tenderoni, featuring Skales. Generally, I call my sound Afro-pop. I look at what is trending and incorporate it into my sound. Tenderoni is strictly afro-pop.

Criticisms

If anyone says I am only capitalising on my father’s fame and wealth, I don’t have an issue with that. I have already accepted that people will form their own opinions about me and I don’t intend to fight it. I will try to work hard and hope that my music speaks for me. I don’t think it is my job to change people’s perception about me. I will just continue to do what I love to do. I think that people make a mistake when they think that since we were born into a wealthy home, we don’t need to hustle. At the end of the day, a wealthy man is a wealthy man and his children are not automatically wealthy. My father is a fantastic man and he looks after us, but he always tells us that his money is not ours. Parents will always want to support their children, but I don’t think he or my mother wants me to depend on them all through my life. I want to be independent of them; I want to have my own children and be responsible for them. One day, my parents will not be around again and I have to take care of myself.

Personality

I am a bit reserved; I like spending time with myself. I like to stay at home and see movies. However, I am learning to be more outgoing and to do things that are related to my craft. I also have the strangest taste in things, but I don’t want to go into details.

Romance

Love makes the world go round. Love is very important and we should always be kind to each other. For me, I cannot be with a man who doesn’t pay me compliments or bring out the best in me. I don’t believe in listing specific qualities that my ideal man must possess because those qualities cannot decide whether the person is good for me or not. If I say I want my man to be tall, black and handsome, how about if he doesn’t support me? Right now, I am in a relationship though.

Fashion

I don’t regard myself as a fashionable person even though people think I am. I don’t look at fashion magazines or follow trends to know what to wear. I just try to dress in a way that reflects how I feel. If I see something that I like, I wear it. I think my style is quite laid-back, but I like to look comfortable and stylish.

Celebrity lecturer explains what students like about his Lectures

Fosudo says his experience as a lecturer and actor works for him in delivering the theoretical and practical aspects of his lectures.

Sola Fosudo is an actor who is also a lecturer at the Lagos State University (Guardian)
Lagos State University lecturer and Nollywood actor, Sola Fosudo has explained what students enjoy in his lectures.
The lecturer in an interview with City People said his students like the fact that he is a Nollywood actor adding that they learn a lot from him both the theory and the practical aspects of his lectures.

Fosudo also said being an actor also gives him the opportunity to discuss the experience and practical aspect of his career to his students.

Fosudo speaks about his Career
Speaking about his career, the actor cum lecturer said he started his career in 1980 at the Obafemi Awolowo University, where Professor Wole Soyinka and Professor Adelugba amongst others professors mentored him.

The LASU lecturer, who has featured more in Soap Operas, said his choice of choosing TV series is more flexible in times of managing time unlike shooting a movie where you have to travel from locations to locations.

Fosudo is a senior lecturer at Lagos State University Department of Theatre Arts and Music. He was at different times the Head of the Department.

Funke Akindele is in the midst of a controversy. To her antagonists, it seems she cannot handle stardom. Some of them even think she's extremely rude, proud and complacent. She doesn't know how to honor her appointments, they say. Well, she has denied all that. In this interview, she tells you, readers, her own side of the story.

Excerpts:

Your colleagues allege that you suddenly become proud after Jenifa, is it true?


I'm not proud…I'm simply myself. People will say different things about Funke Akindele, but I am still my self. I thank God for the success of Jenifa, I am still myself and I am not proud.

But they said you've been extremely rude to them on set?


Extremely rude? I am shocked… this is my first time of hearing that. I've not been rude to anybody. If I'm called to act in a movie I go through my script, I read my script properly, I listen to my director, and I keep to time.

I am very time conscious. I've never been rude to any actor or actress. We all have a cordial relationship. We say good morning, good afternoon…

It's the time factor I'm even looking at. They said if they give you a 9 O'clock appointment, Funke will not get there until 11 and most of the time they have to wait for you?
That's a lie. Yes, I've been late once but nobody was mad at me. I think the problem was with my car. I don't want to take the new car most times and the other CRV has a flat tire, so I had to call my driver to bring me the new car and when I got to the location, I apologized to everybody. I begged everybody, nobody was mad at me, I apologized to every member of the crew and we had a wonderful shooting.

What about the young actresses? They said that any time they get to Femi Adebayo it's always wahala?


I have no business with that matter of Femi Adebayo. Anybody can be close to anyone, even as we are in the same industry, we will always meet on set. Even if we don't talk we will always meet on set. I have never been nasty to any young actress over Femi or any actress over Femi. Femi is a colleague. I feature in his movies; he features in my movies. Others feature us in their movies also. We just have that relationship i.e that hello, hi, what's up stuff. If Femi mingles with any actress it is none of my business and I can mingle with anybody it's none of his business. So we have our lives to live. I can't stop anybody from getting to Femi, it is a very big lie.

But they said it seems you guys are dating; that when you see a girl with him you say the girl is trying to snatch your man?


I am not dating him and even if such a relationship exists, I will not do that. My business is with my man. If I'm sure he truly loves me he can't do such a thing in my presence though men can do that. It is not possible and that is even a big fat lie… so there's nothing like that. We are not dating and I don't stop anybody from getting to him.

They also said not on a few occasions has he had to settle quarrels with people because of you?


Femi is a very disciplined actor. He keeps time and he minds his business. You will not catch Femi Adebayo talking or discussing during work but only when we are all joking together. You will not catch him putting his mouth on what does not concern him. He minds his business and so also for me Funke Akindele. There is nothing like that, how old am I that I will be fighting. I have two beautiful younger ones at home who can call me aunty and there is nothing like aunty as an educated person. I believe in introducing new faces, “up comers”, but the problem is when I call for an audition when you come and I see that you are good I take you up from there, see I don't have this group mentality..

But you do belong to Odunfa's cacaus ?


Yes, I belong to Odunfa's cacaus but I don't have my own group. I don't do it, I call for an audition. Once you are good I give you an opportunity and you act on it. And you become one of those actors and actresses, one of my favorites. The only thing I tell them is, you don't have to sleep with somebody before you make it. I didn't sleep my way through. Maybe they see that as being too hard or being too disciplined. I don't want you to come late, I don't want you to be rude, you have to be good. But not necessarily calling me aunty. I met Fathia Balogun in the industry so I can never ever be rude to her. Do you understand? Ronke Oshodi Oke and I met in the industry so I can never be rude to her.

There are many people like that. Look at Ireti Osayemi; she respects me. She says Funke , we are colleagues, there is nothing like aunty though as Yoruba we have a culture we don't enforce it on anybody. If the person likes let him call you aunty that's his business, but for me Funke Akindele I will never fight for an aunty title. I will love to stress here that I've read it in one or two magazines that young actresses say Funke says I should call her aunty. I don't have the time because I'm always busy writing my scripts. You don't see me and when I come on site I act and I leave immediately I'm done. I hardly sleep on site and when I do it's outside Lagos. So when do I have the time for you to call me aunty?

The only time I have with up-comers is when I work. I introduce new faces in my movies. I'm always introducing new faces so why would I want to harass them? I read it in a magazine that one young actress said I made life miserable for her because she's in Adebayo's group and it was Yinka Quadri that settled it. When I read it I cried and called the editor Seun Oloketuyi. I said this is what I read in your paper and he said Funke I called your sister and your sister answered on your behalf that you don't do such, that you like introducing new faces, that you can't harass anybody and that you will love them to also go into the industry and that is it. So I now called Sanni Ali. Sanni Ali is like the rehearsal coordinator for the Odunfa Caucus. He is like the number 4 or 5 after Ogogo, Yinka Quadri, Abbey, Lanre and the rest. So I called him and told him this is what I heard that Toriola, (her name is Toriola) said about me and she said it is a lie. That the magazine is lying so I now called Seun that this girl said it is a lie that she never said anything like that and this is the text she sent to me. I didn't even call her because I don't have her number. I just saw this number on my phone. 'People don't know the worth of what they have until they lose it.

Now I understand all that you have been teaching us not to keep “unnecessary friends” and I don't know the origin of all this. Who am I to forget my origin? I wish you understand this is just a set-up to make you hate me', she said. I was shocked. I had to forward it to Seun Oloketuyi and he replied “you have to run for this girl, this girl is evil. I was with her in the office when she mentioned this to my people and she thought they won't mention her name but I insisted so it won't look as if we cooked up this story so sorry again and I promise to make up for it”. Look at that, I was so sad, I didn't call the girl, I didn't do anything, I now forwarded it to Sanni Ali and he said this is serious and they sacked the girl and they told her to leave. Look at that, why will I do such? When you are rising you will see things. people will say different things about you. They will say see Funke, I know Funke, I had a fight with Funke they want to use you to climb the ladder of success. No, I don't have time. I'm a disciplinarian…I am too strict even with my younger ones. I can't stand you being indisciplined. And I will never tell you to call me aunty. You earn it, you don't ask for it, but once I ask for it there is nothing like we start a game, I won't do that.

Don't you think all this is because you don't have a good relationship with these people?


I do have a good relationship with them and I am not trying to say that I am a good person or a saint. Once you come for my movie shooting, you get well paid. They feed you well, they lodge you in a hotel and we make you feel comfortable because I feel that's what is right for Bukky Wright, Ronke Osodi Oke and my set to do. Things are better for us, so I should make it better for those coming behind me. The likes of Baba Sala and co suffered for us, so it's like that. I say don't take people for granted. They sometimes even call me up and ask when are we having our next shooting and I call them when it's time for the next shooting.

So, you have never had a fight with any of them?


Not at all. Aside indiscipline, maybe he or she didn't keep to time or they are grumbling on site and I tell them if you are not interested you can walk away. I am very strict with my job. I don't joke with my job because that is what puts food on my table.

What about the cast of Jenifa? I have heard people's comment on it and they were not too complimentary.


On Jenifa, you will notice that I keep dedicating, because it was a joint effort and I give God the glory and I thank God on their behalf that they are part of the movie and we are reaping the fruits of our labor on the movie and we will continue to read more. So, for the cast of Jenifa, I have no problem with anybody. We were well paid. I costumed some of the actresses and actors, and they got their scripts. Some brought their costumes and I paid for them and we all left happy and I thank God it was a success and they even organized a party for me at Lakasa and I invited some people and some people that were angry because I didn't call them; not because I don't want to but how many people will I call? I even heard some time ago that the crew were even saying that Funke is no longer carrying them along afterward. The only thing I can do is to dedicate the movie, mention their names at various events and shows. Go watch Soundcity and Star Host, I mentioned their names, all the crew to the last P.A. So what do they want again? I keep remembering what my mother used to say that I can't satisfy the whole world but that I should just do what is right before God and God will always bless me. So, that is what I am trying to do. I am trying to live my life and do what is proper.

What about Mosun Filani?


Well, I heard that about Mosun Filani but there is a problem on the issue. I called Mosun Filani to come and work with me on my set. I invited her for Aje Meta. I saw her movie and I liked her, she is pretty and she's got potentials. If you watch Jenifa, you'll see new faces there. I didn't want regular faces though we had about two or three old faces and I called her, she acted on my set and she left. I didn't have any problem with Mosun Filani. When I saw the story in the newspapers I was shocked. I even heard that they said I said I wouldn't use her in The Return of Jenifa. The Return of Jenifa is something else. It is not the continuation of Jenifa, it is different. If tomorrow I feel that I should have Eniola Badmus in Gbogbo Bigz Girls I will call her but we have not done the casting, we just had a conference.

So, is it ready?


Yes, so we will move on to casting later.

Who are the guys in the conference?


Taiwo Bello, myself and two other writers.

So, did you call Mosun Filani to say what the problem is?


I didn't, because I don't have any problem with her. You know people write different things. We have acted together in one or two films where I was called upon and she was there and there was no problem. Don't forget that we are colleagues in this industry and we should learn to live with each other, to relate to each other and that is what we do.

What is the new thing with Funke now?


Well, Funke Akindele just finished the shooting of The Return of Jenifa, so my fans should watch out for that movie. I also have Ami Iwo subtitled in English and I featured stars in it and new faces too. Myself, Racheal Oniga, Yomi Lawson, Adebayo Salami, Shola Kosoko, amongst several others. Akorede is another new movie that took over a year to be completed and it is on the market now. Oba Elesan is also in the market where I am the writer and the lead role and it was produced by Adunola David. He contacted me to write the story for him and he paid me for the story and for playing the lead role.

So, would you say you are a good scriptwriter?


Well, my job is good for me, I think I am trying.

Who wrote Jenifa?


I wrote Jenifa.

So, what about the Taiwo part?


Well, this is it; I contracted for a little part of it because I couldn't do it alone. I destroyed the first draft of Jenifa because I wasn't satisfied with it. Though some people wrote some part of Jenifa, I and Taiwo did most of the work. It was a joint effort. He was just lying in my room when I told him to get up and write something on the film and that was how it started. The director did a wonderful job, I appreciate him. Recently, I did some jobs with NAWOCA (National Women Coalition on AIDS) for the Lagos State Government. I am in support of the cause. I also have my own NGO for HIV/AIDS. So, anything that has to do with HIV/AIDS and empowering the youths I'm interested because we are the leaders of tomorrow.

How does it feel to be a Glo ambassador?


Oh, I am happy. It is a wonderful thing because Glo is a big brand. It's well respected and I am glad to be part of it and I also promise that I'll fly the flag high and do anything to empower the youths and I am sure that Glo will also support.

Some people say that you have diversified now, that you are now an MC. Is this true?


Well, some time ago, I did Wande Coal's album launch and I have done it with one other company and I do special appearances at various events sometimes because people just want to hear Sulia talk. I can't just attend as a guest, they will always want me to talk, it's been fun and I thank God for it.

How easy was it for you to transform from a mere actress to that lady with the mic on the stage because stage performances and acting are two different things?
Well, for you to be an actor or actress, you need to be vast. You need to learn to talk, dancing, singing and you should be able to face the crowd and it is very essential. For me, when I am on stage, what comes to my mind is the show must go on. You must do things, make people happy, and don't let them get tired. Wande Coal's album launch was my first and the comments I heard were good and I felt it too. To hold an event from the beginning to the end is not easy. I didn't know I could be an MC. The only thing that keeps coming to my mind is, Funke, make people laugh. Even when I'm tired and you have to stand in a funny way, just do something and naturally, I'm a crazy person. I love making people laugh. My mom calls me Baba Suwe at home. It has always been in me, I can be very funny. You need to be vast before you can MC a program. Don't expect the camera to cut and hide your ghost.

What is going on between you and your producer, Femi Adebayo?


Well, I think some producers like the fact that they have people that can act very well and all that. Femi is a man I respect so much, he is a good actor, he is my colleague and he is a very humble person and he is someone you would love to work with. Aside from him, I love to also work with Shade Olu. There is a strong chemistry between us, he gives it to me and I give it back. Another person is Osayemi, she is very understanding and she's great. There are some people you will just enjoy working with but because I am an actress and you should be able to work with anybody I still will have my favorites.

Femi Adebayo is a man I respect so much like I said earlier on. He's my colleague but we are not dating. People keep bringing in that issue on Femi and I. I think it is affecting me and I think I will start rejecting some scripts when it comes to Femi Adebayo because I am tired of their talks. You know how fans behave, when they read things, they just conclude. There was a day I went to Mr. Biggs to get a donut and a woman walked up to me and said I didn't know you are this friendly. People say you are so abusive and all that and I said no ma and she later added that she read something about me breaking Femi Adebayo's home. It is not fair and I said, mummy, it is not so ma. I have my own relationship and I pray it leads to marriage and I will get married very soon and I told her that what matters most is to do the right thing before God and she started praying for me. I know that once people hear that I am getting married, I think these rumors will reduce.

Or could it be that it's because you are close to his family?


No, I am not close to his family. We only work together and there was a time when he used to manage my production and I stopped it. I got another production manager. We've been friends all along. Some people even said that I was pregnant for him and there is no trace of pregnancy in me because pregnancy is not something you can hide and I didn't do an abortion because I don't know if that would be the only child God will give me and moreover, I don't support abortion. I was not pregnant for Femi Adebayo and I will not be pregnant for him... I will be pregnant with my own husband.

But now that his home is broken will you marry him if he comes to you…?


No. I don't know anything about Femi Adebayo's broken home. People call me every now and then and tell me what they read about me in one newspaper or the other and how they alleged that I broke his home and I keep wondering why. I have no reason to break anybody's home because if I break someone's home they will surely break mine. So, I will marry my own husband and have my home. I don't know anything about his private life.

If you and Femi are not in a relationship, are you sleeping with him?


No, I'm not. I have a serious relationship. That is immorality, I wouldn't do that.

Who is the person you are in a serious relationship with?


His name is Lanre.

Are marketers blessings to you?
They are blessings oh. It depends on your agreement with your marketer. Some people complain about their marketers but I and Olasco have a written agreement and it has so far been a blessing to me because when there was nobody to borrow me money to shoot the movie. Olasco was there and Jenifa was a blessing. Marketers are blessings to us in the industry. It is left for the producer to be wise and have an agreement with their marketers.

Have you done any other job with Olasco apart from Jenifa?


Yes. I have done Ami two , I have done Ase pa mo mi and Akorede.

They said you are the most expensive actress, is it true?


I don't know. I don't know how much my colleagues get, so I don't know, I only know of myself.

When will Funke get married?


Just pray for me
