Funke Akindele takes JENIFA to the Americans

Undoubtedly, she has proven to be the best. I like her because we have a lot in common. She doesn't work with other people's standards in mind, she creates her own standard, works towards it and achieves it. Even after achieving it, she works even harder to beat her own record so you see her constantly in competition with herself since she is her only competition.
We've all watched this leading Nollywood actress grow from the days of the popular tv programme I USED TO KNOW she is the best actress in Africa. I remember being in an aircraft one day and the people seating behind me were just talking about the movie "Jenifa" I told myself, I must buy it! When I landed, I got too busy on my trip but I just couldn't avoid the buzz on the media, from conversations, etc. If I'm gisting with Timi Dakolo, he always answers "yels" lots of other friends also found bits of the movie with which they made themselves happy. Indeed that movie put smiles on the faces of millions of Nigerians within and outside the country. Finally, I drove to a shop and bought it. It was all yoruba but I laughed till I cried!

I travelled back to London with the cd but it didn't last a week because Friends took it. Well, from then I became a fan of all things Funke Akindele.
The other day I was chatting to Ibinabo Fiberesima and she was telling me Funke (Jenifa) has a heart of Gold... I agreed! It took my mind back to when I first met her. Hnmm! Let me leave that story for another time and get back to the main gist...
Jenifa is in America as we speak to promote and premiere The Return Of Jenifa (TROJ). Symphony Space, New York was first and on 11-09-11 the premiere will hold in California. Nigeria will see TROJ in October. This is one Nigerian movie I can't wait to see. It has a blend of actors, musicians, comedians, etc. Expect to see Eldee, Helen Paul, Kaffy, NaetoC, Wizkid, Sasha, Banky W, Omawunmi, Antar Laniyan, Rukky Sanda, Djzeez, Freeze (Cool fm), Denrele and of course Funke Akindele herself. I too should have been in that movie right?! Don't worry I'll be in the next one that will star Beyonce, Rihanna, Don Jazzy, Leonardo dicaprio, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, Charles Granville, Prince William & Kate Middleton, Justin bieber, etc...lol As a gbogbo bigz boyz concerned! hahahahaaha!
Let us keep supporting our own. When the movie drops, wherever you are go look for it and buy 10copies because one may not be enough (especially if you have friends like mine).

Funke Akindele aka Jenifa, I am proud of you and I support you!
