This revelation came during her remarks at the pre-premiere dinner for Funke Akindele’s film, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa,’ where she shared insights about her life and the challenges she faced prior to achieving fame.
The seasoned actress recounted how she took on various odd jobs to support her family until her luck changed. Additionally, she expressed admiration for her fellow actress and renowned filmmaker Funke Akindele, whom she referred to as her “replica.”
She said, “Funke Akindele is a very strong woman. I love strong women. I am a strong woman. I am talking about the things that I do at home. I am a very strong woman, I went through thick and thin to become who I am today.
“I used to go to the morgue to dress dead bodies so my children could go to school and eat. I did a lot of things to make my family what they are today.
“You know they say no problem is accepted in his town but in my own place, they appreciate me a lot because they saw me through all these things.
“That’s the way I see Funke. When I see her, I look at myself. She’s a replica of who I am.”
