‘Funke Akindele Still My Friend’

By Pmnews

Yoruba actress, Bimbo Thomas, has debunked speculations that her relationship with friend and colleague, Funke Akindele, has gone sour. She said her friendship with Akindele began before they both starred in Omo Ghetto. She said that they not only enjoy a healthy relationship on the screen but off it too.

She explained that people are quick to conclude on matters they have little or no knowledge about. “Funke has always been my friend, even before Omo Ghetto. People are entitled to their own opinion and that is why they say a lot of nonsense. If you are not close to us you can't really say what is going on between us, you just can't judge a book by its cover. I do whatever I like to do, I take whatever decision I like to take,” she said.

For Bimbo, Nollywod still needs professionalism to thrive and she opines that the leadership must take the driver's seat. “The leadership needs to work on eradicating amateurs because it is hurting the image of professional practitioners. People with money just get two or three actors, hire a camera and shoot a movie within a week or two and then they sell it at Idumota,” she lamented.

She said this is killing the image of the industry and scaring genuine people from investing. “It's annoying and it is also killing the job because these are people who never had any form of training. It's obvious that they will end up producing junk and it is not good for the industry. I think the earlier we eradicate such, the better.”
