Recounting her own journey, she said, “I used to go to the morgue to dress dead bodies so my children could go to school and eat. I did a lot of things to make my family what they are today. You know they say no problem is accepted in his town, but in my own place, they appreciate me a lot because they saw me through all these things.”
Drawing a parallel between herself and Akindele, she concluded, “That’s the way I see Funke. When I see her, I look at myself. She’s a replica of who I am.”
