Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funkẹ Akindele Officially Becomes Africa's Highest-Grossing Filmmaker of All Time.

Her recent movie "Behind The Scenes" has also officially become the first Nollywood Film in Africa to cross the ₦2 Billion mark according to filmoneng

Records are milestones, not the mission. From A Tribe Called Judah grossing 1B to Behind The Scenes crossing 2B and still counting, this is God in motion. And i’m most grateful to my maker and return all the glory to him. The lesson remains unchanged: serve the story, respect the audience, refine the craft, and let the work earn its applause.

Okays next, ND gurus of all that is okay

Well done champ. Keep wining

That's great. Congratulations

She should remember to pay her tithes so that the agents would the dark forces wouldn't destroy her efforts.

This I have seen.

Nice one, congratulations

Very interesting. N2 billion plus

Yoruba are the real Nollywood, no be cho cho,

Congratulations Jennifer. The sky is your limit

Aunty Funke is a luminary in the Nollywood space. Give her flowers to her

If you are in entertainment, you must infuse Yoruba into your craft. If not, nothing for you.
Thats the secret of success.

This is brilliance at work.
From just Jennifer to this big break is a milestone worth appreciating.

Yoruba are the real Nollywood, no be cho chi,,

No be by acting masquerade and wearing leaves.
If no be Yoruba, e no fit be like Yoruba.

Sarcasm I guess if not let me reserve my comment.

I started loving her from Jennifer's dairy continue to make us proud. Dont JOIN APC IF NOT Na WAHALA FOR YOU.

I had to zoom her image to look at her very well. I wanted to see the number of heads or the shape of head she has that is helping her like this so that whenever I return to the world, I will ask 'amori' to mould my head in that shape.

I must not come to the world to dull myself again next time. If I can't come as Leo Messi, then at least I should come as Yamal, or else I am not coming back again o.

Who dey watch movies again ?

$1.3m

She try small ooooooo.

Keep on soaring Jenifer

Wow ! wow ! Wow ! A very nice feat from our very own “Jenifa”. Congrats ma’am . Hardwork really pays

What a man can do, a woman cancan

Yul Edochie Should Come And See What Smart & Hard work Can Achieve, I Urge All Nollywood Corporate Prostitutes to Retract Their Steps this 2026

Congratulations to Funke Akindele

The advent of Youtube, Netflix and other related digital platforms, dealt a blow to all those people(you know them) who make pirated copies of films through mass dubbing of CD at the notorious Alaba market. Now movie producers like Funke Akindele can labour and enjoy the reward of thier sweat

YORUBA AUTHENTICITY ON DISPLAY.

Not the "fake stuff" our neighbours fabricate, and start beating hairy chests
