Juliana Olayode tenders deep apology to Funke Akindele
Gossipinfo news recall that in a heartfelt gesture, actress Juliana Olayode has publicly apologized to her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, for the pain she caused her in the past.
Olayode shared her journey to fame, acknowledging the tremendous opportunity she received to portray a friend and co-lead alongside Funke Akindele in the highly popular comedy television series, Jenifa’s Diary.

However, Olayode candidly explained that the lack of firsthand industry experience started to affect her, and she had an unaware guardian who sent an email on her behalf, the content of which she was unaware of until recently.
In her apology, Olayode expressed remorse for hurting her senior colleague and also acknowledged the pain caused by the email that was sent without her knowledge.
She wrote: As a teenager, my career in the mainstream entertainment industry started where many people who have put in years of hardwork could only dream of, how could a neophyte even start from the mainstream, if not for a miracle?
In my own case, the mercy of God and unmerited favour was evident, I broke into the industry by playing a friend and co lead with a screen goddess who had put in decades of hardwork and unprecedented creativity even as at that time.
God used Aunty Funke Akindele @funkejenifaakindele to put me into the limelight. It was a shocker for me, especially at that tender age, when I had barely left secondary school, the kind of fame I earned from playing Toyosi in Jenifa’s Diary was too enormous for my understanding.
However, the lack of industry nitty gritty started manifesting in me, coupled with the fact that I had a guardian (manager) who didn’t understand how the entertainment industry works, and I believed anything he feels and says.
My guardian sent an email to Scene One TV, the producers of the Sitcom, which entire content I wasn’t aware of until recently.
The story of my goofs at the take off of my career can not be exhausted in a million words, I want to use this opportunity to apologize to Aunty Funke Akindele, ọmọdé ò lè mọ ẹ̀kọ́ jẹ, kó má ra lọ́wọ́, I am incredibly sorry for how I hurt you and how the email that was sent hurt you.
Please forgive me for my childish mistakes of the past, I am deeply sorry for everything.🙏🙏
I love you eternally Aunty Funke.
❤️❤️
NB: I just feel the burden to make this official, it’s not an attempt for people to help me beg her, I have met Aunty Funke, she has forgiven me, she hugged me, prayed for me, cooked for me like she used to in those good old days, Jollof rice elemi meji, fried rice and sweet chicken.(lol)
I am her baby forever. She is such a sweet soul. The good days are back and you should probably anticipate 🤐. I love you all, thank you 😍.
