Mrs. Biola Olatunde, the writer of the popular "I need to know" TV series, which shot Funke Akindele into limelight in the late 90's and early 2000's, has gone to be with the Lord. She died yesterday after a brief illness.

I Need to Know was a Nigerian family-oriented television series aired on the NTA network. It starred Funke Akindele as Bisi, Uche Ejiogu as Ngozi, Taiwo Lesh as Hauwa and Amaka Egwuatu as Essien and was sponsored by the United Nations Population Fund.

As part of its support to the Federal Government’s effort to provide information, education and communication on adolescent health issues in the fourth Country Programme of Assistance (1997–2002), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) country office in Nigeria supported the production of a television series on adolescent reproductive health, titled I Need to Know.

Mrs. Biola Olatunde will forever be remembered for her remarkable contributions to the arts, literary and entertainment sectors of Nigeria and especially in Akure, Ondo State, where she lived until her death and had served as Chairman of a board to oversee the smooth transition of power in the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN Ondo State chapter, a couple of months ago, having been inaugurated by the South West Vice Chairman of the body, Chief Femi Branch.

May her soul rest in the bosom of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
