“I Can Love Too Hard, Cut People Off Easily” — Funke Akindele Opens Up on Personality and Mental Health

Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has opened up about her personality, revealing her struggles with emotional intensity and her ongoing journey toward maintaining balance and protecting her mental health.

The award-winning actress made the disclosure during an appearance on The Morayo Show, where she spoke candidly about her strengths and personal challenges. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to Akindele, she tends to experience emotions deeply, which sometimes affects how she relates with others.

She admitted that while she can love passionately, she also finds it easy to distance herself from people when situations become overwhelming.

The actress acknowledged that this trait has both positive and negative sides, stressing the importance of finding a healthier balance.

Akindele credited her colleague and close associate, Uzee Usman, for helping her gain a new perspective on relationships and leadership.

She recalled a conversation in which he advised her to be more patient and understanding when dealing with people, especially in leadership roles.

The advice, she noted, encouraged her to reflect on her reactions during conflicts and adopt a more measured approach.

The actress also spoke about her upbringing, highlighting the role her late mother played in shaping her personality.

She revealed that her mother often encouraged her to remain calm, even when faced with emotionally charged situations — guidance she continues to reflect on today.

Emphasizing the importance of self-care, Akindele stated that her mental health remains a top priority.

She noted that while she continues to grow and learn in her relationships, maintaining emotional stability is essential regardless of external circumstances.

Her comments come shortly after a viral moment involving fellow actress Toyin Abraham at the premiere of a film by Iyabo Ojo, which sparked conversations online about possible tension within the industry.

Funke Akindele’s candid reflections offer insight into the realities of managing emotions, relationships, and public life, while highlighting the growing importance of mental health awareness in the entertainment industry.

Instead of people to change their bad and ugly character, they will be hiding under yeye "zodiac" signs. Smh

Ego Ego Ego that's all I can decipher from her statements

You cut people off easily.

Hope you don't run to them when you need them them the most

Foolish statement


Learn to place value on people over material or emotional things.

The fact is you need people in life.. were you not the one campaigning and running for the post lagos state deputy governor last election.

See the character you are displaying, na why we dae thank God sai some of una no fit smell political seat because character wise una no fit lead people.

Bad statement and attitude from someone who want to potentially lead people.

So if a side is rude to you, you cut them off from development..

Put God first.
Your security follows.
You can never please everyone.
People come and go.

Face the reality of life.

Madam park well you no be God jare.

You expect me to argue with you...?


Continue laughing at your ignorance. If you like don't educate yourself.

When people are talking about zodiac cancer be talking about medical cancer.

Ignorance is bliss!

Explain ugly character...


Cutting people off that are stressful to ones mental health or negative energy is bad character.


Make una dey use different Monikas dey quote me to show una bad character!

Differential diagnoses may also be considered, just in case the condition turns out to be less about oncology and more about an overactive horoscope.

Continue quoting the same thing...

Over and over again you copied from AI. It would make it right in the context of zodiac.


Continue laughing at ignorance!

Reason why you cannot have a peaceful marriage.

Believing you are superior to every living thing on the universe, forgotten your money only for you and your 2 kids.

No matter what happens behind the scenes, what stop a celebrity and role model for some people, to return greetings her junior colleague extended to her? If not for spirit of dominance that already overwhelmed you and gradually leading you to self isolation.

With passage of time, isolation will teach you a real and bitter lesson of life, keep fighting and making everyone enermy.

Funky is very arrogant. Just like Simi.

Very bad people.

The more we Mature, the more we learn to keep our emotions under check.

I don't think there is any justification for that her snub act against Toyin Abraham.
Acknowledging a greeting takes nothing away from you.

Don't reject anyone on account of today, the person you reject today can become your helper tomorrow

I don tire for this drama, I can't wait for it to be stale news

Cutting someone off from your life, should not stop you from acknowledging the person's greetings in public.
That her snub act was childish & a bad behavior.

August to be precise. This can be their typical character.

That’s why you are jumping from one man to the other. Imagine this one that married the son of Iyaloja of one market that we all know who already had three wives, not baby mamas, but three legally or Islamically married wives, you then fell in love with him. Isn’t that madness. Later you jumped away from his house and into another US tout who has more baby mamas than our fingers can count. Obviously you did jumped out of the moving bus in no time. Such a woman of no honour shouldn’t be taking about love.
