How I Almost Gave Up-funke Akindele by splendid22(op): 5:45pm On Apr 04, 2019
Funke Akindele, Nollywood actress and filmmaker is undoubtedly one of the most talented entertainers in this part of the world.

Unknown to many, her rise to glory and fame hasn’t been devoid of adversity and tribulations.

Funke who just launched her YouTube channel recently recounted how she struggled to get roles in Nollywood.

“ I struggled to get up there, I got a lot of ‘nos’. I attended several auditions. If you are looking for the queen of auditions, it is me. I remember back then people will tell me during auditions ‘You are so good’, and I will think may be by the time I check the list I will get a supporting role. Lo and behold, I will see my name in the church extras list. I would cry, I wanted to give up
My mum back then encouraged me not to give up, telling me it’s a God given talent. Sometimes I would trek to some places, then take a bus. I could count how many shoes and dresses I had back then. I got a lot of ‘nos’, till I got a big break , ‘I need to know’.”
