According to the media personality, he dislikes it when he sees comments about Funke Akindele being Taraji’s Nigerian version. Eni added that even though he admires the American actress, he doesn’t see the need to compare Nigerian stars to their foreign counterparts.
In his words:
“I really don’t like seeing comments calling Aunty Funke the “Nigerian version of Taraji P. Henson.” As much as I love Taraji and admire her work, I don’t understand the constant need to compare our icons to Western figures.
Funke Akindele is The Funke Akindele—an unstoppable box office record breaker. She’s not a version of anyone but herself.”
