Funke Akindele is like a mother to me – Juliana Olayode

Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has showered praises on her senior colleague and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, describing her as a mother figure and an unstoppable achiever.

Speaking on the Oyinmomo Podcast, Juliana noted Funke’s exceptional qualities, stating that not every woman commands the level of respect and admiration she does.

“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 praised Funke’s strong work ethic, calling her a “workaholic” who is deeply committed to 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.
