Funke Adesiyan takes a dig at Omotola Jalade over inappropriate outfit.

//
Actress cum politician Funke Adesiyan, has risen to the defence of her colleague and friend, Bimbo Thomas who was heavily criticised by blog commenters several days back for sharing a photo of herself relaxing in a beach in a swimsuit. Funke was shocked that A-list actress,  Omotola  ‎Jalade-Ekeinde was hailed and wasn’t subjected to backlash by commenters after appearing an inappropriate (according to her) outfit to a recent function.

 “I have read different blogs call my friend Bimbo Thomas different names for wearing a swimsuit to a beach, will she wear ‘agbada’ or what? I am confused, Omotola Jalade, a mother of four, wore a crop top, a style she should have left to her daughter and hypocrites hailed her as stunning. What could be more inappropriate? “We will do better by being real. Real time, real people. Bimbo is a beautiful person inside out. Sometimes her level of confidence almost intimidate me (believe me, not many people can intimidate me). “Leave celebrities alone. We are humans too. We deserve every bit of happiness that comes our way. As for me, I make myself happy irrespective of how they make people feel. I am me and very original at it. Bimbo, please rock on and post more amazing pictures from you.” She wrote

5 TALLEST YORUBA ACTRESSES

Here’s my list of 5 tallest Yoruba actresses I know. Asides being ‘lengthy’, they are gifted, beautiful and know the ropes of acting.

1) Funke Adesiyan- Even with marks on her face, the Oyo-state indigene is beautiful. The graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State. Funke jumpstarted her career in 2003 when she featured in Wale Adenuga Productions’ Super story and Papa Ajasco series. She has so far featured in over 20 movies. Her movies; Obinrin Ale, Ayo Kulehin, Ore bi Ota, Oju Apa temi. etc

2) Bisi Ibidapo-Obe-is one actress who needs no introduction. The Osun State thespian became popular after her lead role in a film titled ‘Omologbalogba’ where she played the role of a flirtatious student. Bisi is also a power-dresser. She’s featured in Onome Aganga, Oko Mi, Omo Jesu, Iyanje to mention a few

3) Sola Asedeko- Fair in complexion and pretty actress shot into limelight after her role in Tunde Kelani’s ‘Abeni. Sola who is enjoying a burgeoning career remains one of the most-sought after actresses in Nigeria. The graduate of creative Arts has featured in Narrow Path, Omo Ghetto, Oga, Campus Queen, Afesona etc

4)Mosun Filani-Oduoye- The Tai Solarin University of Education graduate actress has been acting since 2005 but she became a focus of attention after her role in Funke Akindele’s ‘Jenifa’ produced in 2009.
She’s starred in Iran Kefa, Ibugbe, Ise Onise, Igbese Kan and many more. The Ekiti-born actress tied the knots last month.

5) Fathia Balogun- she is one of the most-popular actresses in Nollywood. This stunning and ageless mother of three has over the years made a big mark in the yoruba movie industry.
Even with new actors streaming in, the enstranged wife of an actor (Saidi Balogun) refuses to be intimidated. She’s been involved in countless movie projects; Farayola, Aje meta, Asa, Onome Aganga, Alakada, Otelemuye etc
