In the wake of her success at the big screen, Nollywood producer, Funke Akindele has stated that she doesn’t consider her failed marriages as a failure.
The moviemaker whose latest effort titled ‘A Tribe Called Judah’ set a new landmark in the cinemas, becoming the first Nollywood film to gross N1bn, on 5 January 2024, while speaking in a recent interview noted that her mother taught her early in life that without failure, there can’t be a success.
Akindele noted that she just takes marriage “as it comes” adding that her mental health and career are important.
Stressing that her purpose is to live a meaningful life, inspire the younger generation, and be there for her children and siblings, Akindele said, “If you ask me now can you tell me one failure, I don’t see it as a failure. My personal life – marriage, I just take it as it comes. My mental health is very important. My career is very important, darling.
“I have to make an impact. I have to empower a lot of people. I have to inspire young people out there. I have to stay strong for my children and my siblings. Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes I cry, yes I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, ‘keep moving,’’ she said.
