Only a few days ago, the news of Funke Akindele’s split with her Ex-husband, JJC Skillz broke the internet. However, this has in no way deterred the award-winning actress from gaining more ground in the movie industry. On the 2nd of July, 2022, the actress took to her Instagram page to share an incredible feat.

In her words:

@funkejenifaakindele “Wow!!!! I'm so happy!!!
Getting an invitation as a member of THE ACADEMY OF MOTION
PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES (class of 2022) under the category
of ACTORS, is such a BIG DEAL”

This is because her latest movie “Omo Ghetto” shook the Nigerian movie scene by storm with the numbers of views and awards. As a result of this, several awards have been awarded to the popular Nollywood actress. This has helped her in gaining more reach here in Nigeria and across the globe. So, it is no surprise that she has been awarded an invitation to join the academy of motion pictures arts and sciences class of 2022. Nonetheless, this is a huge achievement for the famous Nigerian actress and the Nigerian movie industry as a whole.

Since the news, Many of her colleagues have congratulated her in several ways, stating how deserving she is of this honor. This has proven to be a clearer indication of how much of an incredible and hardworking actress she is. Her Instagram account is currently filled with joyful content and gratitude for this award.

The academy of motion picture arts and science is not an easy feat to achieve. A lot is required to be considered for admission to the prestigious academy. In this academy, there are currently 10,000 members who are involved in all of its processes. So, being considered for admission is indeed a huge difference in a person’s career. For some, this could elevate the trajectory of their career in many positive ways. This is why a lot of actors and actresses would love to be members. So, we can understand Funke Akindele’s joy as a result of this news.

Although, this has come as a shock to many people who have been expecting a reply related to her failed marriage. However, the award-winning actress has intentionally turned a blind eye to the news of her split, leaving many in awe as to whether or not this bothers her. The actress continues to live life as she has always done, in glamour and style. This includes gathering achievements in various sectors of the industry. It is safe to say that she is “unbothered” by the recent rumors and think pieces that have been spoken against her.


So, Whether Funke Akindele’s marriage is finally over or not, one thing is sure; the popular Nollywood actress is set to gain more ground in the movie scene and she is not going to stop now. We look forward to more of her successes in the coming years, as this would open more grounds for the movie industry in Nigeria and for the award-winning actress, Funke Akindele Bello.
