This Guy Thinks Funke Akindele’s Jenifa Diaries Is A Failed Attempt At Comedy

Thought I’ve not watched Jenifa’s Diary..But I must confess, Funke Akindele is a Fantastic Actress!

But a Facebook user, Femi Owolabi says otherwise…He feels Funke Akindele is overrated and a failed attempt at Comedy.

Hepoured his heart yesterday in a post. According to him, he doesn’t find the much loved Jenifa’s Diary produced by Funke Akindele, funny at all.

He wrote

“My sisters would always tell me to see Funke Akindele’s Jennifer’s Diary, that it’s the best thing that has happened after ewa agoyin. ‎And so, I tried seeing a few episodes tonight and really, it’s just a failed attempt at comedy, yes, for me. But, people whom were with me laughed, laughed and got so entertained by the drama.
Biko, am I the only one who thinks Funke Akindele is one overrated comedian?”

Of course, some fans of Funke Akindele reacted and he had to post this other message, moments ago.

“Yesterday, I put up a soft criticism of Funke Akindele’s Jenifa’s Diary, dismissing the work as a failed attempt at comedy, and the post attracted more insults ‎than it could handle.

I didn’t say I hate Funke. I didn’t say Funke is not an inspiration in the industry. I only expressed an opinion which, if you like, could pass as a critical evaluation of the art that is Jenifa’s Diary. ‎

Instead of some persons to counter the post with logical arguments, they jumped on the post with insults and some other nonsense. ‎
‎

One wrote, “give her constructive suggestions instead of killing her effort.”‎ Wow!
‎
Another wrote, “the lady is making millions while haters are hating.”‎ Ehn ehn?

Another wrote, “you hypocrites will applaud the likes of Mr Beans and downgrade your own sister… go and sit at Ikoyi cemetery and watch your best comedy.” Like seriously? ‎

Another wrote, “create your own and let’s assess you on it.” Laughable! ‎

“if you think Jenifa’s Diary is a failed attempt at comedy, then I think you need help.” O boi, I have suffered! ‎

One said, “what has this post achieved? We Nigerians are our own worst enemy.” Ha!

One simply wrote, “Mr I.T.K (I too know)” Sigh.‎

He continued:

You see, some people went to school and, sadly, didn’t broaden their intellection. The post isn’t an attack on Funke’s person or works, it’s simply a critical opinion of a literary critic, and you people come here to spit nonsense?
‎
Get some education.

Here are a few types of comedy that I have studied; Romantic Comedy, Comedy of Humours, Satirical Comedy, Comedy of Manners, Sentimental Comedy, Farce, and Black Comedy.

Seeing a few episodes of Jenifa’s Diary, I used these aforementioned ‘techniques’ to evaluate the work and it failed, for me.

Same with AY’s 30 Days in Atlanta, where I argued that AY wasn’t a suitable actor for the Akpors role– imagine a Warri-just-come who couldn’t speak the language properly. The same were used to adjudge Femi Adebayo’s Jelili which, for me, is a perfect work of comedy.
Funke Akindele is a fantastic actress but, for me, her recent work, Jenifa’s Diary, is a failed attempt at comedy. ‎
Good evening.”

Denrele Doesn’t Want People Comparing Him With Bobrisky – ‘We Are Two Different People’

Denrele Edun has reacted to comments made by fans about him not flaunting and cashing out like Idris Okuneye

also known as Bobrisky.

Nigeria’s male barbie as he is fondly called trended on social media after he allegedly received N7m from his lover — who he claims is Africa’s fourth richest man — flaunted it and got busted for being a fake rich boy.

Somehow, Denrele got dragged into the messy drama and was mocked by lots of people who asked how come he’s not getting all these amounts of money Bobrisky claimed he was getting.

Denrele however opened up on why he can’t act like Bobrisky and what their relationship is like.

According to Denrele, he has seen Bobrisky just once.

“I heard something about Bobrisky saying that Denrele is poor, that he has a Lexus and a Benz and I have nothing. I thought it was funny when I heard it but I did not reply. Such people are looking for followers. I don’t respond to those things”.

“It is normal for people to tend to compare us because we have a certain way of dressing that is totally different from what everybody knows. Of course they would try to compare and contrast”.

“The kind of job that I do allows me to meet all kinds of people. If somebody gives me N10m, I would not open my mouth to tell anybody because the person that gave me the money would not want me to say it. I do not have to prove anything to anybody”.

“I have been with this brand identity for a very long time and if someone is stealing my style, it means the person is not original. If you are doing it your own way, then you are original”.

“We are two different people and from the pictures I have seen, I noticed he uses a lot of heavy make-up, I use only powder and that is because I am on the television. Also, he is a lot lighter than I am. We have met once and we do not have any beef,”

“When we met, the first thing I asked him about his lashes because he wore very nice eye lashes and I love eye lashes. I told him his lashes were nice and he even told me where he did it and how much it cost. I have heard a lot of things that he said about me which are not so nice. Maybe it is to get my attention,” he said.

21-year-old Girl Commits Suicide After Video She Made Self Pleasuring Herself Gets Leaked Online By Ex-Boyriend

According to the deceased’s boyfriend, a 21-year-old girl from Mpumalanga was left with no option but to take her own life after a video of her mastur_bating found its way to the social media without her knowledge.

The boyfriend added that the girl (name withheld) was shocked to learn of the video’s virality on Facebook after one of her friends alerted her to search a certain Facebook group where the video was being circulated.

”She called me in the wee hours of Wednesday and I could feel that she was emotionally charged as I also knew that she was someone who was not talkative”, said her friend, who only identified herself as Zodwa.

According to further investigations it is said she recorded herself mast_urbating with a Fanta bottle and she was doing it for fun. All hell broke loose when she thought she was sending the video via WhatsApp to her loyal friend who has the identical name with her ex-boyfriend and she later discovered that she had mistakenly sent the controversial video to her ex-boyfriend, who quickly posted the video on Facebook.

The ex-boyfriend who is suspected to have leaked the controversial 4 minute video is said to be on the run since the relatives of the deceased are baying for his blood.

Efforts to get a comment from the deceased’s parents were fruitless as they flatly denied commenting on the saga,citing that they are still mourning their loved one.

Nigerian Gay Man Bisi Alimi Blasts Bishop Oyedepo Says He Devices Sermons To Keep His Congregation In Poverty And Enrich Himself

Bisi Alimi, has been known to bash a few religious leaders in the past including Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Prophet TB Joshua, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, and Bishop David Oyedepo.

In a tweet posted on his Twitter page this morning, the proudly gay Nigerian accused Oyedepo of deceiving the public with carefully calculated sermons that he uses as a marketing ploy to milk his congregants of their money.

Alimi says Oyedepo is practicing a stupid pastoral marketing that keeps religious people in perpetual poverty. He was reacting to a sermon Bishop Oyedepo gave on the importance of paying tithes in order to get blessings from God.

In the recorded sermon, Oyedepo can be heard telling people:

“Everybody believes that God has an open heaven order of blessings for his people. But you see, it takes your tithing to qualify for it. So if you only know the promise and don’t know the conditions, you will die frustrated. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of sin, of poverty, of death, but what does it take to get there? It takes faith in the demands. People just believe the promise but you also need to believe the demands.

“It is believing the demands that entitles you to the fulfillment of the promise. There is no provision in the scriptures without a condition attached. Even salvation, as free as it is, you need to repent before you can be saved. There is nothing provided without conditions to meet.”

Frustrated 50-yr-old Father of Two Commits Suicide In Akwa Ibom, Blames It On Buhari & Bad Economy

It was a gory sight as the body of a 50-year-old man, identified as Chief Ekanem Edet, dangled from a rope tied to the roof of his room at Mbiabong Itam in Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

Ekanem Edet, former Secretary of the Mbiabong Village Council, popularly called Jolly Boy, waited until his wife and two sons went out before taking his life, allegedly leaving a suicide note in which he blamed his action on harsh economic condition.

According to a close family source, the deceased, in the suicide note, blamed government for inflicting unbearable pains and hardship on Nigerians.

A close associate of the deceased, Mr. Okon Effiong, told newsmen that Ekanem Edet was discovered dead by his friend, who went to visit him. He added that Edet was immediately buried after some traditional rites of passage were performed.

He said: “He was a very sociable man and always shared his thoughts on issues. I do not know why he should consider suicide as the last option to escape from these hard times.”

A few days to his death, the deceased complained bitterly about the current economic crunch.

According to a family source, “Edet took his life, blaming his action on the prevailing hardship.”

The source added that the deceased, who deals on Ogogoro, cigarettes and other stimulants, decided to take his life when it appeared that he could no longer run his small family with the meagre earnings from his trade.

A pastor at the local church recalled: “He used to complain that his petty business was no longer fetching him and his family basic needs such as food, clothing and fees for the children’s education. He was always blaming government for the economic policies that do not allow him afford basic commodities such as gari, bread, yam, rice, beans, oil, kerosene and other essential goods.”

According to him, the family was reluctant to call in the police because of the suicide note, Vanguard reports.
