Jenifa’s Diary creator, Funke Akindele has revealed why she keeps shielding the identity of her children from the prying eyes of the general public and her refusal in showing their faces for a long time to come.
The Nollywood actress said despite the pressure from her fans to show the faces of her presumably cute children on social media, she won’t cower into submission.
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality and lawyer, Jide Okonjo, Funke said, “Don’t you see my home? Don’t you see my husband?
Don’t you see the back of my children? How is that one private? The children’s face is that what you are trying to say? No.
When they are old enough, they should show their faces if they want to. But for now, I don’t want them to show their faces.
I want them to have their lives and enjoy it. Their dad and I are already in the public eye. They are children, don’t forget. They are children.
They are vulnerable so you have to just keep them away, keep them safe. Let them go to school, let them enjoy their lives without “Ah!” that’s Jenifa’s son. That’s JJC’s son. Ah see his leg, see his face” Leave them private!”
