The star actress no doubt possess good genes such that at the age of 21, she was the toast of a popular drama series, I Need To Know, where she played the role of a 14-year-old teenager.
Her
performance as a curious teenager that wanted to know all about life
and growing up remains one of the high points of the Jenifa star's
career.
Funke's
brilliant performance in the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
sponsored drama series won her so many roles in Nollywood movies
rendered in Yoruba - one of which is Jenifa, which was written and
produced by Funke Akindele.
The
beautiful wife of rapper and producer Abdul Bello aka JJC, became the
toast of producers after Jenifa became a monster hit with the Return of
Jenifa.
Funke has since turned the movie into a weekly drama series running on over 10 TV stations across Nigeria and other parts of Africa.
