“An Angel in Human Form” – Actor Kamo State Pens Emotional Letter to Funke Akindele for Her Unwavering Support During His Wife’s Pregnancy

Nollywood actor and comedian Kamo State has written a touching message to celebrate veteran actress Funke Akindele, following the birth of his first child.

Kamo, whose real name is Akinyoola Ayoola, took to Instagram to express deep gratitude to Funke for her unwavering support during his wife’s pregnancy and delivery. In his heartfelt tribute, he described her as “an angel in human form,” and shared how much she meant to him and his family.

The couple had announced the arrival of their baby earlier in April 2025, and while many fans and celebrities congratulated them, Kamo made sure to acknowledge Funke’s powerful role behind the scenes.

According to him, Funke didn’t just show emotional support—she went all out to ensure his wife and baby were safe and well cared for. She offered to fly his wife to the U.S. for delivery (which they politely declined), hired one of the best doctors in Lagos for them, covered all medical bills, and even arranged her personal security and driver to be at their service 24/7.

Kamo State’s Words:

“AN ANGEL IN HUMAN FORM🥰 (Iyami Olufunke Mi Owon)

To the woman who embodies love, strength, and unwavering support, my dearest godmother, Lafunky Omo Akindele.

Where do I even begin to express the depth of my gratitude for all you do?

You’ve always stood by me, a beacon of light in every storm, and a source of endless encouragement.

I’ll never forget the nights you spent by my side at the hospital—your presence a soothing balm, your vigilance a testament to your love.

Even when I told you about the pregnancy late, you were ready to fly my wife to the U.S. for the baby’s birth.

We were supposed to go to Dubai together. But when I told you the expected delivery date was close, you insisted I stay with my wife.

While you were in Dubai with your kids, you still called my wife every single day—just to check up on her.

Any day I didn’t pick your call, you’d fight me ooo—you said you must talk to Esther to be sure she’s fine.

You told your driver and security to follow us to the hospital even at midnight.

You secured one of the best doctors in Lagos for my wife and took care of every single bill.

You prayed for my wife in our prayer group every single time, and you forced me to pray too—always reminding me of the power of faith.

And now, as we prepare to christen our baby this Tuesday, you’ve once again stepped forward.

You’re sponsoring everything—from the food to the beautiful outfits for my wife and me.

IYAMI IYAMI, your generosity knows no bounds, and your love is a gift I cherish every single day.

I wanted to write more, but I’m honestly short of words to express how much you mean to me.

I pray that God blesses you abundantly—showering you with health, happiness, and all the good things life has to offer.

Thank you for being the amazing woman you are, and for showing me the true meaning of family.

I love you dearly!”

Kamo's heartfelt appreciation has since gone viral, with fans and colleagues praising Funke Akindele’s generosity, humility, and motherly nature.

This emotional tribute is yet another reminder of the powerful impact Funke continues to make—both on and off-screen—as a mentor, role model, and loving friend in the entertainment industry.
