Why I Don’t See Past Marriages As Failures – Funke Akindele

Funke Akindele, the reigning box office queen, has revealed her unwavering determination and resilience, despite facing numerous setbacks in the past.

Despite being successful as an actress, the mother of two has had some loopholes in the aspect of marriage.

“For me, I see failure, I see challenges, I see obstacles, as part of life. My mum raised me like that. My mum will say if you do not fail, if you do not fall, you cannot succeed. So you have to keep going. And note, I do not even see the failures.

“If you ask me now, can you tell me one failure, I don’t see it as a failure. My personal life – marriage, I just take it as it comes. My mental health is very important. My career is very important, darling. I have to make an impact. I have to empower a lot of people. I have to inspire young people out there. I have to stay strong for my children and my siblings. Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes I cry, yes I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say “keep moving”.
