Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele is in Tanzania for the grand wedding finale of her colleague, Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla Ojo.
It is no longer news that Priscilla and her Tanzanian singer husband, Juma Jux, are holding the final leg of their wedding this week in Tanzania.
Ahead of the wedding in two days, many celebrities are flying into the country to witness what many tagged as the Wedding of the Year.
In a clip captured online, Funke was seen at the airport with Jayeola Monje as they arrived in Tanzania.
The video has since left many excited as Funke was noticeably absent at Priscilla’s Nigerian wedding.
On Priscilla’s wedding day, Funke congratulated her and her husband as she rained prayers on the couple. She also expressed how honoured she was to celebrate the special moment with her, noting how Priscilla’s happiness is a testament to her love and dedication as a mother.
After Priscilla’s wedding, Funke lamented her absence and expressed sadness at missing the event.
She had also congratulated Priscilla when she bagged her first endorsement deal following wedding. Taking to her comment section, Funke declared that this was Priscilla’s season of winning and celebration.
Recall that in 2022 at Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award season 8, Iyabo and Funke had struck a close relationship after their messy fallout.
When Iyabo premiered her movie, Labake Olododo, Funke had given it her stamp of approval. Also, at the movie premiere, she had commended Iyabo. She praised the actress for the movie’s aesthetics, visuals and all and congratulated her on her new feat. Funke told Iyabo it was her turn to shine and admonished her to break boundaries.
Akindele, in an interview, recounted how Ojo and Sikiratu Sindodo helped her up the ladder and fought for her during her early career days. She said her being stereotyped because of her physical appearance, made her break down on one of her movie sets and Iyabo and Sikiratu stood up for her.
