Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress and filmmaker, has stated that she does not view her two failed marriages as “failures.”

Akindele stated in a Lagos interview with Wazobia FM that her mother instilled in her the belief that success is impossible without failure.

She emphasizes that her job and mental health come first and that she simply takes marriage “as it comes.”

The thespian stated that her objective is to live an influential life and cater for her children and siblings.

“Now that you ask, can you name one failure that you didn’t think was a failure? In terms of my marriage, I simply accept things as they happen. My emotional well-being is crucial. My career is really essential to me, sweetie.

“I need to have an influence. I have to empower a lot of individuals. I have to motivate the youth that are out there. For the sake of my siblings and kids, I must remain strong. For what reason am I here? My head is high because I have a mission. Yes, I weep and I break down, but all I do is look in the mirror and tell myself to “keep moving,”” she she further revealed.
