I Almost Died After The Death Of My Mother, Election Loss – Funke Akindele by Thescrutinyng(op): 11:11am On Apr 12, 2025

Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele has revealed that her mother’s death and the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 governorship election in Lagos state afffected he so badly to the point that she almost died.

Popularly called Jenifa by her fans, Funke also revealed that she broke down recently while dealing with personal issues, including the passing of her mother and having to take care of her children alone.

In a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the box office star talked about being accused of underpaying someone who featured in her movie, her marriage falling apart, and raising her kids.

Akindele shared the challenges of having to cope with the above, adding that it led to a breakdown.

“I do not like to mourn. I remember when my mom passed on, I just wanted to get out of it quickly. I like to get out of the situation quickly. I do not allow myself to break down, and it affected me after my mom’s death. And I almost died.

“My heart was aching, and something happened online. For the first time, I took my phone, I went live on social media, and I’m like, you all should leave me alone.

“Do I know this person? No, this person came to act in my movie, got paid, and left. Why are you accusing me of something I didn’t do wrong?

“Do you know what I’m going through? I lost my mum, my marriage fell apart, I lost in politics, I have to get back to work, I have to earn a living.

“ I have children I’m raising alone, and you are stressing me. So, for the first time, I cried. I broke down for weeks,” she said.

You people didn't stand a chance, the closest was Gbadebo Chinedu Patrick Rhodes-Vivour. The incoming Lagos state governor.

Funke Akindele must think that politics in Lagos is same as Jenifa's diary. Only Ambode would've snatched Lagos State from the hands of APC when he was denied their ticket, but dude was too weak to challenge the establishment.

You did not genuinely think you were going to win the Election, did you? You absolutely did not think so, did you?
The other reason, is heard and plausible.

But you did not think that you were anywhere near winning the election, did you?

Funked sorry to harsh your mum but so that same your mum that instigated you against your father as if she won't one day answer the call of the naure has finally gone too, can you see life?

RIP to her anyway.

And as for election I guess you are on trance because if not you are on trance who the hell are you to think you will win Lagos election?
