FUNKE AKINDELE'S 'THE RETURN OF JENIFA' MAGIC.

There's no magic or short cut to success except hardwork and persistence. This is exactly the formula Funke Akindele used. Having been in the industry for a long time featuring in both english and yoruba films. Needless to say her Jenifa film which was released in 2009 gave her the much-needed break and made her profile rise. Jenifa came and we all enjoyed the intrigues and excitement that came with it. When the news of her Return of Jenifa permeated media headlines, many hissed and felt her action was unnecessary but the 35 year-old Law graduate knew what she was doing.
The film which had a parade of stars from the entertainment industry, namely; Omawumi, Eldee, Helen Paul, Rukky Sanda, Banky W and a host of others is not only the most talked about movie but has grossed about N30million at the cinemas. After the Return of Jenifa comes 'Tango with me'.
