Famous Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has stated that she used to borrow clothes from her colleague, Sikiratu Sindodo, to look classy on movie sets.

Funke made this known while narrating the challenges she faced before her breakthrough in the industry.

The actress, who is currently on vacation with Eniola Badmus and content creator Kamo in Ghana, revealed her decision to use her career challenges to encourage others.


In a viral video shared on her Snapchat, Akindele acknowledged the massive roles her colleagues, Sikiratu Sindodo and Iyabo Ojo, played in her rise.

Recounting her humble beginnings during a conversation with her best friend, Eniola Badmus, she said, “They didn’t give us any roles. One of those men, I just keep looking at him, but I won’t mention his name.

“I remember back then when I used to borrow dresses from Tayo Sindodo. Sindodo would help me choose nice ones from her tops if I was going to a movie set.

“There was a day when Sindodo saw me carrying a bag after I wasn’t given a role, and she went to meet Uncle Abbey to fight for me. Iyabo Ojo was lucky and very nice to us. Iyabo would say, ‘Don’t worry,’ and she would drive us around in her small red car. We found solace in one another. That’s how we became friends. Iyabo used to stand up and fight for me.”
