Enioluwa Adeoluwa, a social media influencer, has slammed Nigerians for constantly comparing actress Funke Akindele to American actress Taraji P. Henson.
In a tweet on Monday, Eni expressed his displeasure with the constant comparison.
He emphasized that there is no need to constantly compare Nigerian icons to Western figures.
He insisted that Funke Akindele, an unstoppable box office record breaker, is not a reflection of anyone other than herself.
He 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.
“Funke Akindele is The Funke Akindele—an unstoppable box office record breaker. She’s not a version of anyone but herself.”
