If You Are Lazy, You Can't Work With Her – Saka Praises Funke Akindele's Work Ethic

Veteran Nollywood actor Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has defended filmmaker Funke Akindele against claims that she is strict on set.

In a recent interview, Saka praised the award-winning actress and producer, saying she treated him well during their time working together on her record-breaking theatrical release 'Behind The Scenes'.

Addressing the widespread perception that Akindele is tough, Saka said he actually prefers that approach. He noted that handling a multimillion-naira project requires strength and discipline, and that Akindele is not just strict but also humble and caring.

He added that she does not tolerate nonsense and separates work from play. Saka also warned that lazy people would not thrive working with her.

He said:
"I have worked with Funke Akindele, and she treated me very well. To those saying she's strict on set, to be honest, I like it that way. I'm saying this publicly, not to gain anything."

"You have to be strong to handle a multimillion-naira project, and it isn't easy. She's humble, caring, and she doesn't tolerate nonsense."

"It's not that she has a bad temper. Once you do the right thing, she has no problem with you."

"When it comes to work, Funke doesn't joke. But when it's time to entertain, she's playful. I don't have anything against her. If you are lazy, you can't work with her because she doesn't like laziness."
