According to Biodun, Funke’s approach to mentorship stands out because it is rooted in real-life experience rather than empty motivation.
She further stressed that true success comes from discipline and sustained effort, not just public recognition.
She wrote, “This is the kind of video that deserves to go viral! No noise. A clear lecture on dedication, discipline, consistency, and pushing even when the body is tired, and the spirit feels stretched. This is real mentorship. This is experience speaking, not motivation for likes.
“Big hail to Funke Akindele. @funkejenifaakindele A woman who has walked the road, paid her dues, fallen, risen, and still shows up fully.”
“Thank you for teaching without sugarcoating and for reminding people that success is work before it is applause. This is substance, leadership, and excellence.”
