Influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa has shared his two cents regarding the constant comparison between Nigerian film actress Funke Akindele and Hollywood star Taraji P. Henson
He expressed his dislike for comments referring to Funke Akindele as the “Nigerian version” of Taraji Henson.
Enioluwa emphasized the importance of recognizing and appreciating Funke Akindele’s unique achievements and contributions to the Nigerian film industry as an individual, without tying her down to another individual.
He acknowledged Taraji Henson’s impressive record but argued that comparing Funke Akindele to her diminishes the Nollywood star’s impressive accomplishments.
Instead, Enioluwa celebrated Funke Akindele as a trailblazing actress and box office record-breaker in her own right, stating:
“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.
Funke Akindele is The Funke Akindele—an unstoppable box office record breaker. She’s not a version of anyone but herself.”
