Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has sweetly celebrated her friend, Funke Akindele, as she turns 48.
On her Instagram page, she described Funke as her sister for many years and stated that Funke is more than just her friend; she is her playmate, gist partner, and safe place, and she is one for so many reasons.
She said Funke is the one she loves, and the one who truly loves her back in ways unexplainable. She appreciated the filmmaker for all the memories and brightening her life.
“Happy Birthday Lafunky……… @funkejenifaakindele my dear sister. For many years, you’ve been more than just a friend; you’ve been my playmate, my gist partner, my safe place, and my one for so many reasons. You’re the one I love, and the one who truly loves me back in ways that words can’t explain. Thank you for all the memories and for making life so much brighter. Today, I celebrate you and pray this new year brings you endless joy, success, and blessings. Cheers to many more years of laughter and friendship together. I love you always!”.
Over the years, Funke and Eniola have grown from being colleagues to being best friends and sisters. The friendship between the two is one that many find admirable.
Some months back, when Eniola broke down at a public event over her inability to have children, Funke had prayed for her to have kids. She had also vowed to throw a big part in her children’s naming ceremony.
Recall that in 2023, rumors of bad blood between the two made rounds after Badmus shunned Funke’s movie premiere. Even though she helped in putting up a promotional post for the movie, she ensured she was absent from the movie premiere to pay back Funke for the times she shunned her events too.
To shut down the rumours, the curvy actress sweetly celebrated Funke on her 46th birthday, and Funke reacted by poking fun at her.
Reciprocating the love, Funke had sweetly celebrated her on her birthday, gushing over Eniola Badmus’ transformation body.
Last year, Akindele addressed the news about her strained relationship with Eniola which she blamed on their busy schedule. She said she likes her a lot and revealed the reasons she loves Badmus.
Eniola had also said something similar in an Instagram post about their friendship. She had shared a photo of the filmmaker accompanied by a lengthy post on why they had not been goofing as usual.
