Funke
Akindele, has disclosed that studying Law at the University was to
please her father, who wanted her to be a lawyer. The talented act said
she has always had passion for entertainment.
Funke
Akindele stated that even though she does not have the intention to
practice what she studied in school, but she enjoys it, adding that Law
is interesting and beautiful, which she reflects in her stories in
movies.
The
actress praised her mum who she said understood and gave her the
opportunity to try her hands in acting, which eventually paid off.
Funke
Akindele, who started her acting career in the English speaking sector
of the Nigerian film industry, which many regard as the core Nollywood,
stated that she did not get the needed fame from that area and got
frustrated.
According
to her, she left for the Yoruba speaking aspect of Nollywood because
she felt that there was no place for her in the core Nollywood.
The
actress got a big break in the movie industry after she released her
self-produced flick, ‘Jenifa’, and is now very busy in the English
speaking area of the film industry in Nigeria.
She
explained that the difference between the two industries is that those
who act in English movies are better paid, while those in the Yoruba
sector make more money through movie production.
