I Studied Law to Please my Father- Funke Akindele
Funke Akindele, the Nollywood Actress and filmmaker recently revealed in an interview she studied law at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) to please her late father.
Akindele said despite her interest in acting, singing, and dancing, her late dad always wanted her to be a lawyer. She said she eventually studied law to fulfil her dad’s wish and thereafter went back to acting.
The actress said she, “never regretted studying law because it reflected in my works”.
“Truly I studied law at the University of Lagos. My father wanted me to be a lawyer. When he was alive he was always saying ‘you will become a lawyer’. I just wanted to act on stage. I wanted to sing and dance,” she said.
“I would say okay, let me study this law and give it to you. When I study this law I will go back to my acting.
“I never regretted studying law because it reflected in my works. Because I love criminal law so much. I like a law where someone errs against the law and is sentenced. All the investigations.
“If you notice, you will see that I usually add up what I have studied in my work. Law and my work can be hand in hand. And I never regretted studying law. But I have not been practicing law.
“Nowadays I have been thinking about it. I can do it.”
