I’m tired of writing Jenifa’s Diary…. Funke Akindele laments
Fans might be crazy over Funke Akindele’s comedy series, “Jenifa’s Diary” but the producer herself who also doubles as writer amongst other roles is finding it exhausting churning out episodes constantly for the series which has fast become a fan favorite.
Speaking to Vanguard the actress said, she plays lead actress, writer, producer on the series which is a spin off of her blockbuster movie, “Jenifa” an it’s a lot of work,
“We have actually filmed the fifth season but we are airing the fourth right now and we would soon begin shooting the sixth season.”
“I must confess that I am tired because it is not easy writing, playing the lead character, assisting the director and also supervising the whole project.”
In spite of that the screen diva says she does not see the series coming to an end anytime soon,
“It is not easy writing a comedy script but each time I want to put it to rest, people tell me that the last season was lovely and they keep asking what would be happening in seasons to come.”
“They still want to see more because everyone loves Jenifa. I believe that Jenifa is a brand that has come to stay because we use her as a vessel to pass messages across to young people.”
“I use the character to highlight some problems the youths face and also proffer solutions to these problems. I don’t see Jenifa’s Dairy coming to an end.”
The sixth season will be featuring Falz, Lolo, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Blaq and other stars.
