The sister of late Nollywood make-up artist and actress, Bukola Iyabo Osadare has recounted Funke Akindele’s good deeds to her late sister.
In the wake of claims of Funke Akindele always abandoning her staff, Bukola’s sister debunked it as she recounted how Funke Akindele spent over N16 million for her sister’s first and second operations. The filmmaker didn’t stop there, she directed them to a place in Ikeja to pick up medication worth N500k-N600k each week and also sponsored her and her late sister to the UK.
She described the box office Queen as a good person as she was the one who made her sister live for seven years before her death.
“Funke Akindele paid over 8 million naira for my sister’s first operation and over 8 million naira for the second operation. When my sister was ill, Funke told us to go somewhere in Ikeja to pick up medication worth 500-600k every week. She also sponsored my late sister to the UK for treatment and even got my passport for me and said I should accompany my sister to the UK because of her operation. Funke Akindele is a good person, she is the one who made my late sister live for seven years before her death. My sister was just a makeup artist to her. When my sister di£d , Funke and Ronke Oshodi Oke were the first people to reach the hospital. Even after my sister’s death Funke still spent money”.

This is coming days after, the late Jumoke Aderounmu’s brother had dragged Funke for abandoning his late sister. Adeola had tackled Funke for publicly mourning her when she had abandoned his sister during her dying moments.
Reacting to his claims, Funke took to her Instagram Live to break down in tears as she noted how she lost her mother, marriage, and politics and is trying to get her life back together. She stated that she saw Jumoke’s brother post that she abandoned the actress, which was untrue, as she never knew Jumoke was sick.
Replying to her, Adeola told her to stop acting on Live video as he claimed that the actress only reached out to him when she died. He questioned how Funke expected him to reply to her when she only remembered his sister after her death.
Bukola Osadare’s sister isn’t the only one who has recounted Funke Akindele’s good deeds. Bimbo Akisanya recalled how 10 years ago, the late Folake Oshadare, one of Nollywood’s make-up artists had revealed to her how Funke was sending monthly money for her medication as she was a cancer patient.
Her protege, Juliana Olayode had showered encomium on Funke as she recalled how the movie star emptied her account to save her mother’s life as she was battling Fibroid.
Tobi Makinde noted how he wouldn’t be who he is today without her love, training, and tutelage. Speaking from experience, he stated that the movie star has been so kind to him and her love for him is not something he will forget in a hurry.
Actor, Alesh Sanni recalled how years ago when he posted someone who needed a huge amount for medical bills, she reached out and sent the money and told him not to post it. He noted how it wasn’t once or twice, Funke had done this.
