Funke Akindele Takes a Stand Against Piracy

This is something that an actress like Funke Akindele has to say, and everyone knows that it is the 13th, not a December joke. And what she knows is that this movie is not only about everybody asking Jenifa for her love set but also about her. Be is piracy, released demanding she on for said fairness is sucking the energy of the Nigerian movie industry. And, to be quite frank, she is on the right track.

Let’s break it down: imagine pouring your heart (and a mountain of cash) into something, only to see it stolen and passed around for free. Yeah, that’s what happens when people sneak phones into cinemas to record movies. Funke is done being polite about it. On her socials, she didn’t mince words: “Say no to piracy! Recording videos at the cinema is piracy!” And to drive the message home? She’s made it clear anyone caught recording during her screenings will be arrested.


Here’s the thing: supporting creatives doesn’t mean uploading clips from a movie you just saw. Love Funke? Take a selfie at the cinema standee, share her trailers, post a teaser or two, and bask in the glow of her gratitude. That’s how you show support the right way. 📸✨


Piracy doesn’t just hurt the filmmakers; it chips away at the entire industry. Imagine fewer movies, fewer jobs, and fewer chances for Nigerian stories to shine. Is that the vibe we want? Didn’t think so.


So here’s the deal: when you watch Everybody Loves Jenifa, leave your phone in your bag. Watch, laugh, and then gush about it on your socials (but no sneaky clips, okay?). Let’s protect what’s ours and keep the industry thriving.
