While expressing admiration for Taraji, Adeoluwa stressed the importance of recognizing Funke Akindele’s unique achievements.
He argued that constant comparisons to Western figures diminish the individuality and accomplishments of Nigerian icons.
Adeoluwa praised Akindele as a trailblazer, highlighting her unmatched success as a box office record-breaker in Nollywood.
Adeoluwa wrote: “I really don’t like seeing comments calling Aunty Funke the “Nigerian version of Taraji P. Henson.” As much as I love Taraji and admire her work, I don’t understand the constant need to compare our icons to Western figures.
