Funke Akindele Is Not Difficult To Work With – Saka

Veteran Nollywood actor Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has explained why Funke Akindele is strict on set. He recently had his say after working with the filmmaker on her 2025 film “Behind The Scenes,” and Nigerians have been reacting.

Describing Funke’s strictness as necessary for managing large-scale productions, Saka revealed that he has no problem with the actress’ approach to work.

Stressing that his colleague is not difficult to work with, the moviestar added that Akindele treated him right when they worked together.

His words, “I have worked with Funke Akindele, and she treated me very well.

To those saying she’s strict on set, to be honest, I like it that way. I’m saying this publicly, not to gain anything.

You have to be strong to handle a multimillion naira project, and it isn’t easy. She’s humble, caring, and she doesn’t tolerate nonsense.

It’s not that she has a bad temper. Once you do the right thing, she has no problem with you.

When it comes to work, Funke doesn’t joke. But when it’s time to entertain, she’s playful.

I don’t have anything against her. If you are lazy, you can’t work with her because she doesn’t like laziness.”
