Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode shared how her senior colleague Funke Akindele generously used her own money to save Juliana’s mother’s life by ensuring she received urgent medical treatment for fibroids.
Despite rumors that Funke mistreats her staff, Juliana defended her, praising Funke for her kindness and selflessness.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Juliana expressed her gratitude for Funke’s support and emphasized that Funke’s actions go unnoticed because she doesn’t seek recognition for her deeds. Juliana emphasized that Funke’s success is a result of her hard work and divine favor, sending prayers for Funke and her family. 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 heartening to see Juliana come to Funke’s defense, especially considering their previous rocky relationship.
Back in May 2023, Juliana surprised many by publicly apologizing to Funke Akindele for the rift that had formed between them in 2017, after starring in Funke’s popular series ‘Jenifa’s Diary’.
She reflected on how quickly she rose to fame through Funke’s project and explained the reasons behind their falling out. Funke graciously accepted her apology, demonstrating a willingness to move forward and rebuild their relationship.
