“Why I see Funke Akindele as a mother” – Juliana Olayode

Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has expressed deep admiration for her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, describing her as a mother figure and a source of inspiration.

Speaking in an interview on the Oyinmomo Podcast, Juliana praised Funke for her exceptional qualities, noting that not every woman attains the level of respect and admiration she commands.

“What covers everything is to call her (Funke) a mother. There are various types of women, but not everybody qualifies to be called a mother,” she said.

The actress further lauded Funke’s strong work ethic, calling her a “workaholic” who is dedicated to delivering excellence in all her projects.

“Aunty Funke is also a workaholic. She doesn’t joke with her work. She’s also a goal-getter. She makes sure she gets the best out of every project,” Juliana added.
