Whenever you see successful people, you only see their public glories, and never the sacrifices to reach them. Thanks for sharing this Jenifa, Giving up is the only sure way to fail. How much you can learn when you fail determines how far you will go into achieving your goals. I will keep trying until I succeed, my story is changing for the better.I will also be a blessings to others.....One love Jenny baby
I can't lie, I have given up several times...I try so hard and I see people who don't try as hard as I do get roles. I go for auditions, I post monologues everywhere, UA-cam, instagram and Facebook and I keep tagging producers, directors but hardly do they respond....I will keep trying because I know GOD that put the talent in me is preparing a way for me...for everyone. Thank you Aunty Funke for this message.
Jenifaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, you have paid your dues in the move industry in Nigeria I remember ''I need to know'' like it was done yesterday You have indeed paid your dues. You made me fall in love with Yoruba movies. You and a few others Your switch from Yoruba to mainstream Nollywood is a feat You are indeed loved Funke Akindele AKA Jenifa
I couldn't stop sharing tears 😭😭😭 Now this is my story: My name is Tessy, a 26 years old girl who has always wanted to be a news caster wish she went to school. But life has a way of turning people around. 1997 her mother died, 1999 her father followed and that is how her dream of becoming a news caster also died because they was nobody train her in school. And she started wondering in street. But today she have found another carrier as a UA-camr similar to what she has always wanted to do, looking forward to upgrade herself and also grow her channel. Things is not moving the way it supposed to be because my English is not perfect. Am almost giving up but after watching this, am going to continue until I win. Aunty funke thank you so much for sharing this amazing story. It will definitely help a lot of people and am one of those people
Another reason why you stand out amongst media people. You just got on youtube not too long and see the authentic stuff you're already dishing. I love you too much....
Oh! My FAVORITE Nigerian actor! Ese gan Funke Akindele for this wonderful message. A dupe pupo. I am not a young girl, I'm in my 50's, so your message is not only for the young people. I'm from Amerikkka and have been thinking about pursuing acting for many years. I've started then stopped. Acting is my passion! I have been in small community entertainment things on and off since I was 5 years old, dancing and acting. Now songwriting and poetry. Now, that's all I want to do. At this stage in life I have more drive. But because I must make a living, I have not pushed myself towards acting. But I really want to. Your message has now inspired me so much! Thank you! Olodumare bless you!
*This is law school for me, i have wanted to give up so many times but due to the passion i have of being an attorney am still pushing and things are slowly working out.. Thanks for this. Love from Kenya ❤*
Thank you Funke, I think this was God’s timing for me to watch this. As in Ecclesiastes says about the appointed time and there is no coincidence in this life. As I sat down to give up on some of my dreams and just settle, your video came up on my recommended list! Thank you for the encouragement and thank you for having a UA-cam Channel! God bless you!
Thank God for parents who encourage their children to pursue their God given talents - may we be them . Thankyou Funke for this video ! I left university feeling so discouraged yesterday - it sometimes feels as if my efforts are never enough , but i trust that God will not leave me hanging . I will keep on pushing and working hard !! God will reward me
This is just what I needed. Even though it seems a bit late from the human point of view, it's never too late if I act now. Thank you so much Funke for this spirit uplifting video
Screaming all the way from Milwaukee, WI USA......"I LOVE YOU FUNKE AKINDELE BELLO" You are an icon you are in inspiration you are loved! I would love to meet you one day or even go to a theater and see your movie which unfortunately is not playing in the States :-( I still love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best inspirational messages I have ever listen to! May God bless u so much for this. U're such a wonderful woman, hope to meet u in person one day. Love
WOW...(tears drop) this video is just for me...just on Monday i was singing this song by Mary Mary I JUST CAN'T GIVE UP NOW..and here you are singing the same song..God bless you real good...you have always been my inspiration...i am indeed encouraged. Thank you.
You have uplifting my spirit....I have been downcast in my education lately, I haven't been doing as well as before, and it's not been getting easier. God bless you MA.
So glad that you can share your stories with others. So motivating. People normally see the present but don’t know how hard the former was. What an amazing story. I knew it from I need to know. Great lessons on that show. “Nobody told me the road would be easy”. God wins always .
Love your persistence and God bless your mother. I hope she's still around to see what you are today? Love your been naturally funny. No dull moment with you. Keep soaring high.
I can say for a fact I didn't waste my data watching any of your videos. You are adding value aunty Funke, unlike those who upload videos just to show their shoes, bags, frivolities etc. You're a blessing to your generation, I LOVE YOU SIS!!! Thank you for this message, God's blessings always.
Idowu Adenike never heard this saying before but definitely will tattoo-it in my heart for life! Also reminds me of: - Never despise humble/small beginnings - And the Faith Mustard Seed example by Jesus in the bible All the best in your endeavours and believe! God bless
Hard work, resilience, determination, the never give up attitude and God's grace! Well done Sis. This Video truly inspired me to dust my Shoes and keep moving. Thank you!!!
You have done well sister. With people like you helping the young people to understand that it does take a while to get to the top, I believe people will be inspired.
I dropped an emotional tear on dat mary mary song..u really hit a spot there.luv u more Funke akin dele...a downhill move doesn’t mean a downfall I learnt from ur words today.stay blessed Sis me to sure
*As a Nigerian making videos on UA-cam, I really needed to hear this! This is so timely. I was just thinking about if I should continue or not and here!!!! You just shared your story to motivate me! I know a lot of people like me will find this helpful. Thank you so much for making my morning! God bless you Aunty Funke. Loads of love to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️*
AMENNNNNN!!! THIS HAS GOTTA BE THE HEAVIEST PRAYER I HAVE HEARD ANYONE PRAY FOR HER. I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT THIS WOMAN DESERVES EVERY GOOD THING SHE GETS!!!
No matter what you've been through..... When its your time YOU GONNA SHINE,DOORS WILL OPEN.... Don't give up on God.....Don't give up on your dreams....☺☺☺
Thanks for following that calling and starting this channel to connect with us on an intimate level. The advice and inspiration is surely relateable, and always needed especially from someone who a lot of people look up to. Much love and respect big sis👏👏.
Uh! I need to know...That education is the key and why do we deny it....This song resonated with me for long. This video is really Inspiring! Thumbs up Funke Akindele Bello.
Some 80 haters still gave this video a thumbs down! lolz! She has said it all. To give up is to stop living. Whatever it is you keep trying at, even if you seem to be failing, keep at it. Money is good, but if it's your only motivating factor, giving up is just around the corner. Like she said, apply her story to your own struggles.
Rome wasn't built in a day, little drops of water make a mighty ocean. Seen this at the perfect time i guess God has just spoken through you Miss Funke. Let me soldier on.
Thanks For these words of encouragement Aunty Funke. From time to time we all need these words to reaffirm and reassure us that our goals are still worthy of attainment irrespective of how many attempts we make to achieve them 🧡❤️💛
No wonder your movies are so inspiring, I remembered watching jenefa and saying I will be like Jennifer who have numerous plans to gain to where she want to be
