“How Funke Akindele emptied her bank account to save my mother from Fibroid” – Juliana Olayode spills as she defends actress

Nollywood actress, Juliana Olayode has recounted how her senior colleague and boss, Funke Akindele emptied her bank account to save her mother’s life.

In the wake of claims that Funke Akindele doesn’t treat her staff right, Juliana debunked it as she made it known that Funke is the reason her mother is still alive after battling Fibroid.

In a lengthy post on his Instagram page, Juliana showered encomium on Funke as she recalled how the movie star emptied her account to make sure her mother was taken to a private hospital and treated immediately. She noted how the movie star does a lot of good for people, yet doesn’t post it for publicity.

Juliana added that Funke has worked hard to be where she is today and God backed her up. Raining prayers for her and her children, she wrote,

“Mamaaaaaaaaaaaaa @funkejenifaakindele
Olufunke Omo Akindele, the one who the Lord delights in.

The apple of God’s eyes, the one who has found favor in the sight of God, the one whom God has clothed with so much grace and glory, the one whom God has enthroned!!!! The one whose path is like a shining light, the one whose light can not be dimmed!

Olufunke Omo Akindele, the one who has gone through fire and came out without smelling like smoke, is a strong woman, a resilient woman, an Amazon, a phenomenal woman, a pacesetter, a record breaker, and a good woman.

My mum would have died of fibroid years ago, had you not emptied your account to make sure that she was taken to a private hospital and treated immediately.

You do a lot of good but you don’t post about it, you don’t do it for publicity, a lot of people are on your payroll, and you have done so much that an Instagram caption would not be enough to talk about it.

You have worked so hard to be where you are and God backed you up. You will never fall and you will never fail, the mighty hand of God will continue to carry you for the rest of your life.

You, your children, and everything that concerns you is covered by God!!!!

I LOVE YOU MAMA”.

It is good to see Juliana stand up for Funke as they have had their own trying moments.

Recall that in May 2023, Juliana surprised many when she tendered a deep apology to Funke Akindele after they fell apart for undisclosed reasons in 2017 after Juliana starred in Funke Akindele’s hit series, ‘Jenifa’s Diary’.

She reflected on how she rose to fame overnight by playing the lead role in Funke Akindele’s movie, as she narrated what led to their beef and tendered a public apology to the actress for being misled, and Akindele accepted the apology with open arms.
