Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye, rates Jenifa’s Diary, produced by fellow actress, Funke Akindele, as one of the industry’s most impactful series.
The 33-year-old also called Akindele a legend on the latest episode of The Buffet YouTube show she co-hosts with Aníkúlápó co-star, Kunle Remi.

“Funke Akindele is an amazon, an icon, and a legend. She made razz become the new classy,” she added.
