Funke Akindele, the reigning box office queen, has revealed her unwavering determination and resilience, despite facing numerous setbacks in the past.
The seasoned actress recently broke the film industry record by hitting a landmark of over N1 billion at the box office.
Despite being successful as an actress, the mother of two has had some loopholes in the aspect of marriage.
In an interview with Wazobia, Funke Akindele spoke about these “failures” and why she doesn’t even see them as such.
She said: “If you don’t fail, you can’t be successful. You have to keep trying. Like when a child is trying to walk, the child will walk small and just fall off. So it’s normal for you to fall but you just have to pick yourself and rise again.
“For me, I see failure, I see challenges, I see obstacles, as part of life. My mum raised me like that. My mum will say if you do not fail, if you do not fall, you cannot succeed. So you have to keep going. And note, I do not even see the failures.
“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”.
