Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has expressed deep admiration for her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, describing her as a mother figure and a source of inspiration.
Speaking on the Oyinmomo Podcast, Juliana praised Funke’s exceptional qualities, emphasizing that not every woman earns the level of respect and admiration she commands.

Beyond her nurturing nature, Juliana also highlighted Funke’s strong work ethic, calling her a workaholic who is committed to delivering excellence in all her projects.
“Aunty Funke is also a workaholic. She doesn’t joke with her work. She’s also a goal-getter. She makes sure she gets the best out of every project.”
Funke Akindele, a multiple award-winning actress, producer, and filmmaker, has remained one of the most influential figures in Nollywood, inspiring younger talents with her creativity and dedication.
