When Funke Akindele conceived the fictitious character Jenifa in 2006, little did she know that she had created one character that will outlive all the characters she has ever played in her almost three decades of acting.

It is believed that if Akindele’s last effort, ‘A Tribe called Judah,’ could amass over one billion Naira screening in Nigeria and few other countries, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa,’ which has a history, will do much more.
