Again, I was reminded that in all that we do, we must always give honor to whom honor is due and return all the accolades to the one who truly owns it, to God!!!! FAAN praise fiesta was looking forward to the next one.”
In response, Funke Akindele expressed her love for Juliana and conveyed a longing for her return home.
Earlier this year, Juliana Olayode publicly apologized to Funke Akindele, paving the way for reconciliation after their fallout in 2017. She acknowledged being propelled to fame overnight through Funke Akindele’s movie and expressed remorse for their misunderstanding.
Appreciating Funke Akindele for her support following a successful Christian program, Juliana expressed gratitude, attributing her presence at the event to Funke’s intervention.
Months after their reconciliation, Funke featured Juliana Olayode in her latest project, “A Tr!be called Judah,” currently showing in cinemas. Juliana also disclosed that she considers Funke not just a colleague but also a mentor, having learned dance moves from her.
In a recent heartfelt tribute, Juliana celebrated Funke Akindele’s remarkable achievements and declared her love and admiration for the accomplished actress.
