You Didn't Get Here By Chance Or By Fluke - Juliana Olayode Hails Funke Akindele Over New Milestone 

Nollywood actress, Juliana Olayode, has joined the train of celebrities in congratulating box-office queen, Funke Akindele.

In a post on her Instagram page, the actress hailed Funke for being the highest-grossing queen for five times. Describing her as an exceptional woman, she expressed gratitude that God has continually kept crowning her senior colleague's efforts with grace and success.

The Toyo baby star affirmed that Funke's win has never been by chance or by fluke, but rather a product of years of hardwork and other impressive characteristics. She also hailed the filmmaker for setting the pace, paving the way, and opening everyone's eyes to possibilities.

Juliana noted how Funke previously grossed N1BILLION with 'A Tribe Called Judah,' and she bettered it with 'Behind The Scenes' grossing over 2Billion.

She wrote: "Five times the highest-grossing QUEEN!!! What an exceptional woman! I don’t even know what to say. I’m so glad that God continues to crown your efforts with great grace and success.

You didn’t get here by chance or by fluke, it’s many years of hard work, bending your back and working tirelessly, in brokenness, in pain, with sweat, tears and blood. With almost nothing, with a little, and with abundance. You didn’t flinch!!!

You set the pace, you paved the way, you opened our eyes to possibilities, and you opened the door to a billion, and we thought it was something. You didn’t stop; now you have shown us that $ 2 billion and more is possible.

I like what it is that God is doing with you. I pray that He doesn’t stop and that His grace continues to carry you now and always.

Congratulations to you, the entire cast and crew. Cheers to great wins. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!."
