Nigerian actress, Juliana Olayode on Saturday tendered an open apology to her senior colleague, Funke Akindele, IGBERETV reports.

Juliana came into the limelight with her role as Toyosi in Funke's 'Jenifa Diary' TV drama series. Juliana had a misunderstanding with Funke which led to Juliana's withdrawal from the popular sitcom.

Taking to her Instagram page, Juliana stated that she felt a burden to openly apologise to her senior colleague.

Addressing the issue that led to her withdrawal from the series, she said the fame she had at such a tender age was too enormous for her understanding, as she asked the actress to forgive her.

She also stated that her manager at the time wrongly advised her and also sent a mail to Funke's company which she never knew about.

Her post reads;

‘’As a teenager, my career in the mainstream entertainment industry started where many people who have put in years of hardwork could only dream of, how could a neophyte even start from the mainstream, if not for a miracle?

In my own case, the mercy of God and unmerited favour was evident, I broke into the industry by playing a friend and co lead with a screen goddess who had put in decades of hardwork and unprecedented creativity even as at that time.
God used Aunty Funke Akindele @funkejenifaakindele to put me into the limelight. It was a shocker for me, especially at that tender age, when I had barely left secondary school, the kind of fame I earned from playing Toyosi in Jenifa's Diary was too enormous for my understanding.

However, the lack of industry nitty gritty started manifesting in me, coupled with the fact that I had a guardian (manager) who didn't understand how the entertainment industry works, and I believed anything he feels and says.

My guardian sent an email to Scene One TV, the producers of the Sitcom, which entire content I wasn’t aware of until recently.

The story of my goofs at the take off of my career can not be exhausted in a million words, I want to use this opportunity to apologize to Aunty Funke Akindele, ọmọdé ò lè mọ ẹ̀kọ́ jẹ, kó má ra lọ́wọ́, I am incredibly sorry for how I hurt you and how the email that was sent hurt you.

Please forgive me for my childish mistakes of the past, I am deeply sorry for everything.
I love you eternally Aunty Funke.
❤️❤️

NB: I just feel the burden to make this official, it's not an attempt for people to help me beg her, I have met Aunty Funke, she has forgiven me, she hugged me, prayed for me, cooked for me like she used to in those good old days, Jollof rice elemi meji, fried rice and sweet chicken.(lol)
I am her baby forever. She is such a sweet soul. The good days are back and you should probably anticipate . I love you all, thank you.''

Apology rejected.

She messed up her career at that part. She's forgiven but ll get no role from Jenifa.
She should go and work her life up the ladder.
Those teen girls can be annoying after helping them. Them full schools. I recall the idiót I usually give cloths in the University saying I gave her bad cloths. Werey, I for give you my Xmas clothes.

People like this, forgive them but NEVER forget.
Keep them at arm length. Any mistake you did that can take away food from my table, mar or threatening my health or well being is NOT a mistake but a deliberate act.

@jeniffa, forgive her and keep people like her at a distance.

It's good they're both on good terms now.

Forgive but don't forget....

This Tinubu administration will favor everyone. My advice for Nigerians is to start a YouTube channel on CELEBRITY GOSSIPS and earn in USD. Let me teach you how is been done , mention me if interested, hold your 1k o

Lol. you see that's why's bad to always take side....



And this SM age people can go any Length to bring u down and also say Alot jargons...

To all those who said forgive but don't forget, what's the essence of forgiving and not forgetting?

Tell me the difference between both..

You forgive me but you still get doubt about me...

I'll rather not apologize....

Let ego consume both of us ...

Rubbish and ingredient....

She missed the fame that came with the platform that Funke gave to her on a platter of gold.

She is not sorry for anything. Fear some human being especially women

Never you bite the hand that feeds you.


Apology accepted

Apology accepted

Smart move

Public Apology to the unfortunate Deputy Governor of Lagos. Funke Akindele, congratulations!

If funke had been deputy governor that is how she would have missed it totally.
Apology is very easy tin to do anyways

She would have been on Bimbo Ademoye’s level but no auntie started with her lies that she was a virgin and the statement “ Jennifer's diary made me popular not rich”.
No one in the industry mess with her. Just wasted her prime on top following “my pastor said”

[b][/b]

Good one

E don cold dakun

use

She needs a come-back cause she is definitely broke...

She is mad. After how many years? Oh, it is now dawn on her that all that glitters isn't gold. If the tv series had stopped because she quitted without any prior notice i'm sure she would have been very glad.. werey! Person wey suppose sleep for floor if you put am for bed she go fall down, na so Toyosi matter be.

I hope those zombiedients that repackaged a failure, terrorist and thief in Obi Pandora as saint messiah for presidential candidate of LP will also apology to us because they all knew the man was a total failure as former governor of Anambra state even before Soludo validate his incompetence and failure before the public.

Since she left that show she has been anonymous and unknown, hunger don dey beat her now and all those who advised her don run leave her for trenches na now her eyes open....
