“A woman who has walked the road, paid her dues, fallen, risen, and still shows up fully” — Biodun Okeowo hails Funke Akindele as a true role model.

Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo, popularly known as Omoborty, has publicly praised her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, for her hard work, resilience, and leadership in the Nigerian film industry.

Biodun shared an old video of Funke Akindele on social media and described her as a woman who has truly experienced the journey to success. According to her, Funke has paid her dues, faced setbacks, risen again, and continues to give her best in her career.

She applauded the award-winning actress and filmmaker for teaching upcoming talents without sugarcoating the truth. Biodun noted that Funke constantly reminds people that success comes from hard work and discipline before public applause.

Describing the video as one that truly deserves to go viral, Biodun stressed that it was not about making noise online but about passing real lessons. She said the clip clearly showed dedication, consistency, and the strength to keep pushing even when one is tired or emotionally drained.

Biodun further described Funke Akindele as a symbol of substance, leadership, and excellence, adding that her words reflect real experience and mentorship, not motivational talk aimed at gaining attention.

She ended her message by giving Funke a “big hail,” thanking her for leading by example and for continuing to inspire others through her journey, work ethic, and honesty.
