Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele is celebrating her friend and colleague, Iyabo Ojo, on the birth of her grandson.
Kemi Filani reported on Sunday, August 24th, which was Funke’s 48th birthday, that Iyabo’s daughter, Priscilla, had welcomed her first child, a baby boy.
Taking her to her Instagram page to rejoice with them, Funke asserted that God’s timing is perfect. She stated that her grandson’s birth on her birthday is a sweet testimony of God’s goodness.
Hailing Iyabo, she described her as the sexiest grandma ever and expressed how thrilled she is for her. Funke also congratulated Priscilla and her husband, Juma Jux, as she declared that their union is sealed forever.
“God’s timing is perfect! Our little bundle of joy, born on my birthday (Aug 24th), is a sweet testimony of His goodness! Congratulations, my lovely and darling friend @iyaboojofespris, you’re now the sexiest grandma ever!
I’m beyond thrilled for you! To the Mbakalas @juma_jux @its.priscy, may this joy be forever sealed in our hearts, in Jesus’ name, Amen. Now, let’s celebrate and party”.
Despite her daughter being in the delivery room on her birthday, Iyabo had sweetly celebrated Funke on her 48th birthday. Sharing photos of the actress, she described the celebrant as her friend turned sister, and wished her more years of blessings and happiness, loads of wins, and love.
Recall that Funke Akindele and Iyabo fell out and were at loggerheads for years, after Iyabo dragged Funke when a blogger criticised Toyin Abraham’s movie, The Ghost and The Tout.
In 2022, the two put their beef aside by embracing and exchanging pecks at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award season 8.
Since their reconciliation, the two have struck a close relationship and have been supportive of each other’s milestone.
In June, Funke gifted Iyabo Ojo a brand new iPhone 16. Iyabo made the news known on her Instagram page, revealing that the actress kept to her promise of changing her Samsung phone.
In May, Funke had accompanied Iyabo to Tanzania for the wedding finale of her daughter, Priscilla.
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.
