I am tired of Jenifa’s Diary — Funke Akindele

Top Nollywood actress cum producer, Funke Akindele, is far from
happy at the moment as she says she is tired of writing, playing
lead roles and also assisting director in her popular comedy TV
show, Jenifa’s Diary.
The award-winning
actress who
recently opened up
on challenges of
being a comedienne
also reassures her
numerous fans that
despite the fact that
she is tired, she still
does not see
Jenifa’s Diary
coming to an end
as she will keep
giving them latest
versions of the
comedy series.
In her words, “We have actually filmed the fifth season but we are
airing the fourth right now and we would soon begin shooting the
sixth season. I must confess that I am tired because it is not easy
writing, playing the lead character, assisting the director and also
supervising the whole project. It is not easy writing a comedy script
but each time I want to put it to rest, people tell me that the last
season was lovely and they keep asking what would be happening
in seasons to come. They still want to see more because everyone
loves Jenifa . I believe that Jenifa is a brand that has come to
stay because we use her as a vessel to pass messages across to
young people. I use the character to highlight some problems the
youths face and also proffer solutions to these problems. I don’t
see Jenifa’s Dairy coming to an end,”
According to her, “Being an actor/actress is not easy not to talk of
being a comedian/comedienne. It is really difficult to think of
something fresh and new. When I started Jenifa’s Diary , I knew I
had to start the story afresh because some people did not see the
movie. I was concerned about how I was going to do something
totally different from the movie. When it was time to shoot Season
2, I felt I had to move away from what I did in Season 1 and that
was the same dilemma I faced in Season 3", she concluded.
