Funke Akindele, a renowned Nigerian actress and producer, believes that success is not just about talent but also about putting in the hard work, even when it means doing the “dirty work.”
In a recent interview on the ‘WithChude’ podcast, Akindele discussed the importance of being willing to go the extra mile in your career. She emphasized that anyone who aspires to greatness must be ready to tackle the challenges and less glamorous tasks that come with success. “A lot of people aspire to do what I am doing, but I always tell them: Success requires hard work, and sometimes, doing the dirty work,” she revealed.
The actress also highlighted the importance of staying grounded, not allowing present achievements to distract from future goals. For Akindele, it’s about consistent effort, focus, and avoiding complacency. “I refuse to let past successes affect my work,” she added. “I stay focused on what’s next.”
While Akindele acknowledges the role of spirituality in her journey, she also stresses the importance of self-awareness and staying true to one’s originality. These factors, she believes, have played a significant role in her sustained success in the Nigerian entertainment industry, including her four consecutive years of dominating the Nigerian box office.
Furthermore, Akindele shared her approach to coping with personal struggles, saying that she doesn’t allow grief or personal issues to interfere with her professional life. Her resilience and dedication to her craft are key to her continued success.
