Nigerian actor Tobi Makinde has showered his fellow Nollywood star, Funke Akindele Bello, with encomium following her being called out by a former staffer for alleged emotional and physical abuse.
Recall that TalkGlitz.net had earlier reported that Cassandra Owolabi, a former staff of Funke Akindele, had called her out over claims about unpleasant working conditions.
Now, Tobi Makinde, the actor who plays the role of Timini in Jenifa’s Diary, has posted some positive words about her on social media, disclosing how she took him as a son and gave him a job when she didn’t know him from anywhere prior to their meeting.
He wrote:
A river that forgets its source will surely dry up. I remember when I had no idea how I was gonna move on in life after my masters degree, you were there to take me in with little or no experience whatsoever about running production. You said you would give me a job without knowing me from anywhere, without knowing my capabilities. All I had was my educational qualification and thirst to work and learn on the job. Prior to this I had tried to work in other production outfits but none took me not because I wasn’t qualified but because they probably didn’t believe in me. You on the other hand, believed in me, took me as a son, scolded me when I messed up all in a bid to make me better at my craft. Only the patient and hardworking will understand who you really are. Thank you mom for everything and may God keep blessing you @funkejenifaakindele I really appreciate you ma!!”
