Funke Akindele runs back to Jenifa to save her career

Funke Akindele, the actress who became a genuine household name through the movie Jenifa, has disclosed that her latest move is to ensure that the Jenifa character which was the selling point of the Jenifa movie does not die.

According to news from her camp, she has concluded plans for the TV series of Jenifa which will star big names that include Alexxx Ekubo, Banky W, Wunmi Obe, Waje and Ali Nuhu.

While she claims that she came up with the TV series because people are still enamoured with the Jenifa character, the sad reality is that since Jenifa, she has not been able to play any character that really added value to her brand and she’s therefore not as hot as she was with Jenifa.

But will Jenifa’s return, this time to TV, save her career?

That’s the big question, because inasmuch as she claims that people want more of Jenifa, she should also know that many movie lovers were not satisfied with Jenifa’s movie sequels, with many of them saying that only the original Jenifa movie itself, was the one that made real sense.
