“Being divorced twice doesn’t make me a failure” ~ Funke Akindele
Nollywood actress/producer, Funke Akindele says she doesn’t consider herself a failure because she is divorced twice.
Speaking in an interview with Wazobia FM, in Lagos, Nigeria, Funke Akindele explained that her mother taught her early in life that without failure, there can’t be success.
“If you ask me now can you tell me one failure, I don’t see it as a failure. My personal life – marriage, I just take it as it comes. My mental health is very important. My career is very important, darling.
“I have to make an impact. I have to empower a lot of people. I have to inspire young people out there. I have to stay strong for my children and my siblings. Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes I cry, yes I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, ‘keep moving,’” Funke Akindele said.
