Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has expressed immense respect for her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, calling her a mother figure and role model.
During a discussion on an interview on the Oyinmomo Podcast, Juliana praised Funke for her outstanding qualities, stating that not every woman achieves the level of respect and love she has.
The actress also commended Funke’s hardworking nature, terming her a “workaholic” who is determined to bring excellence into everything she does.
“What covers everything is to call her (Funke) a mother. There are various types of women, but not everybody qualifies to be called a mother,” she said.
“Aunty Funke is also a workaholic. She doesn’t joke with her work. She’s also a goal-getter. She makes sure she gets the best out of every project,” Juliana added.
