Actress Ini Edo has congratulated industry heavyweights Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham for their remarkable achievements in Nollywood.
In an Instagram post, Edo expressed her admiration for their dedication, strategic planning, and marketing efforts, emphasising that their commitment is truly exceptional.
She wrote, “I want to congratulate these industry titans, @funkejenifaakindele and @toyinabraham, for literally breaking all records and pushing beyond every limit to achieve these groundbreaking successes for Nollywood. My respect for these two has grown immensely. Their level of commitment, strategising, marketing, and overall approach is on a whole different level.”
Edo also reflected on her own project, “A Very Dirty December,” acknowledging that she took a unique approach and sacrificed her holiday to pursue her dreams.
She expressed pride in herself and her team, which included Yfalaye, Becca Ashang, Edojnr, Eucharia Anunobi, Ik Ogbonna, Unusual Phyna, and Chief Femibranch, for their dedication to the project.
“I knew it was somewhat ambitious of me to think I could manage this entire December project, but I’ve always trusted my instincts and followed my gut. So yes, I sacrificed my holiday to achieve my ambitions. I am particularly proud of myself and my team, who remained committed to the project. We came, we pushed, made our mark, and learned our lessons,” she added.
The actress encouraged others to take risks and pursue their goals, saying, “Don’t be afraid to make that move. What’s the worst that could happen? Win or lose, we move forward. I might try again in 2026!”
