Top Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has lashed out at her critics, who claimed that her infrequent appearance in English movies is because of her linguistic deficiency in English. For quite a while, the rumours have been rife that the talented actress has been featuring majorly in Yoruba movies because she cannot speak or act effectively in English.

“I always laugh when people say na only Yoruba films she dey act. She no fit speak/act English film. Maybe dey didn’t watch I Need to Know.”
Almost immediately after she dropped the tweet, her fans started to take a swipe at her critics. In a comment, a fan wrote:
“Of course, they are either too young or ignorant.” And as if that was not enough, another fan said:
“I agreed because that series was more than educative and I heard Funke was paid in Dollars.” For those who have been following her story since she came into the movie industry more than a decade ago, the producer of Jenifa, an award-winning movie, is one of the respected crossover actresses, having also acted in a number of English movies, including White Hunters.
