The very delectable and one of the most highly talented star actress Nollywood Funke Akindele-Oloyede aka JENIFA recently spoke with Genevieve Magazine on her fashion & style sense, on how she really admire Hollywood’s Taraji P Henson, Rita Dominic, Omotola, and general respect she had for her colleagues, how she’s a big fan of Genevieve Nnaji, and mostly, also speaks on what most people don’t know about her:

Jenifa was such a huge success beacuse?
… It was just realistic and true.

On what Nollywood isn’t doing right?
I am also guilty. We need to umprove the picture quality of our movies, including sound and other technical issues. We should also have enough content and good stories.

On fashion and style sense?
I am so simple; I just wear my flat shoes and be comfortable in whatever I put on. But no thanks to my stylist who says beauty is pain and all that I have to be a bit stylish and glamorous for the red carpet.

On best movie?
All Tyler Perry movies, but I love I Can Do Bad All By Myself a lot because I really admire Taraji P Henson the actress; she’s a strong actress. Then for Nigerian movies, I think its Cry Me Heaven with Jim Iyke and Kate Henshaw.

On pairing with an actor?
Internationally, that would be Taraji P Henson and Whoopi Goldberg. Then for Nigeria, I love all my colleagues but I famz Genevieve Nnaji. I love her so much. I bow my head to Kate Henshaw, Rita Dominic, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde because they’ve been there and are still there.

On what most people don’t know about her?
I am very soft hearted. I may appear tough, but deep down, I’m very quick to say ‘sorry’, even when I’m not at fault.

On if she’s not in movies?
I would be a dancer. I love dancing.
