Congratulations To Funke Akindele as She Bags an Oscars Recognition

In the midst of a marital dispute with her spouse JJCSkillz, Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has declared a significant accomplishment.
Remember how JJC announced on his Instagram account yesterday that he and his wife had separated, confirming speculations that everything was not well in their home.

HE WROTE: “DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT FUNKE AND I HAVE SEPARATED. WHILE IT LASTED WE SHARED A LOT OF THINGS TOGETHER AND HAVE CREATED 2 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR US. I KNOW I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO FIX THINGS BUT I BELIEVE IT IS BEYOND REPAIR NOW. 3 MONTHS AGO AND AT FUNKES INSISTENCE I MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE AND APART FROM AMVCA HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET FUNKE TO SIT DOWN IN AN AMICABLE MANNER TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. I’M MAKING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SO THAT THE PUBLIC IS CLEAR THAT WE BOTH ARE PURSUING SEPARATE LIVES. WE STILL HAVE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED SUCH AS THE CUSTODY AND WELLBEING OF OUR CHILDREN WHICH IS PARAMOUNT AS WELL AS BUSINESS INTERESTS WHICH NEED TO BE DISENTANGLED BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THESE WILL BE RESOLVED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER”

Different responses followed the revelation, with some accusing Funke of ejecting her spouse from their house.

Despite the turmoil, Funke has declared a significant victory for herself.

The mother of two reshared a message of congratulations from her colleague Etinosa on winning an Oscar.

The Academy said in a statement that membership is chosen based on professional credentials, with a continued focus on representation, inclusiveness, and equity.
