Funke Akindele: N600m Reasons to Leave Politics

That move was always a misadventure. The woman and her backers had looked at the millions that were following her on social media and thought that she had the electoral value to make her overthrow my dear Sanwo-Olu.

It is like dropping me in Hilda Baci’s kitchen with all the ingredients to cook afang. I will just be looking at the stuff without knowing the ABC of converting them into the best soup ever.

So, madam, Funke with her 20 million followers became the greatest laughing stock in the history of Lagos elections. The English was suspect, the carriage was suspect, the strategy was suspect and the immersion into the world of politics was also suspect.

The woman did not even understand why or what she was doing there. It was a monumental waste of time and resources and it is no wonder that immediately the thing ended, she ran back to her first love – movies.

Today, she has reported a whopping N600m gate-takings on her latest movie ‘Battle on Buka Street.’ A huge record with a strong showing both locally and internationally.

This is where she really belongs and not in that fish out of water cocoon that is politics. Well-done girl.
