Popular actress Funke Akindele (Jenifa) allegedly walks down the Aisle with renowned "Woman Beater’ JJC Skillz

Funke Akindele is one woman who is intellectually sound; what she did not get in looks, nature complimented her with good brains which thankfully have been making her smile to the bank. There is a common slang among youngsters in Nigeria that ‘To whom Brain is given, sense is expected’ and a wise saying goes thus ‘Once beaten, twice shy’.

Business wise, Funke might be amongst one of the smartest woman in the entertainment (movie) industry but sadly her intelligence is totally non existence when it comes to emotional decisions. Her choice of ‘Love interest’ has made me wondered if the popular actress is under a curse?

I chose to use that phrase because of her kind of partners over the years since she became a household name. From dating ‘Oga bello’s’ married son to walking down the aisle with a married tout who doubles as an unrepentant polygamous man. Little wonder the marriage didn’t last two months.

One would think after such costly mistake that Ms Akindele would thread carefully and make wise decisions. But it seems her character in her popular series ‘Jenifa’ do take over when it comes to her love life because I do not understand why an intelligent lady who is over 39 years would settle for a man who beats her at will and have children from different women. I know her love choices have always been Muslims but I personally believe that personality matters the most when making love decisions.

Having diverse children from a million babymama is even pardonable but what I do not get is why open your both eyes and say ‘Yes Forever’ to a man who hits you; that to me, is stupidity at its peak. The fight against Domestic Violence has been on for a long period of time and it is quite shameful that someone who is suppose to lend us her voice in fighting the ‘demon’ is happily a victim.

I say happily a victim because she is a grown adult. I would pardon a teenager of say 19 but a woman of 39years; what is her excuse? Many of Ms Funke’s friends have been whispering the JJC Skillz is broke and married her because of her money but that to me, is not even important because there must always be a reason for choosing a partner but what lead to the bursting of the bubble was when I heard that he beats her at will.

I had to put allegedly despite hearing the abuse allegations from quite a number of ‘insider’ because I am still in awe that Funke Akindele would walk into such a messy situation; in fact I do not want to believe it. But then again, the heart and the head works differently and with these victims; Love can only be experienced and never explained because they all do not always have reasons to stay put.

As much as I would have loved this second time for Funke to be the charm but I can’t help but beg that she runaway if he truly beats her at will because we need her to stay alive and happy so she can be giving use dozes of laughter as Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without putting a few drops on yourself.

After all said and done, the decision lies solely with Funke and even if she decides to go on a self-denial mission, she shouldn’t forget that her conscience is like a mother in-law whose visits never ends and nothing is forever hidden under the sun; its only but a matter of time. A word is enough for the wise!
