Funke Akindele is unfortunate - Chairman of Actors Guild speaks about her failed marriage

The Chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) FCT, Abuja chapter, Mr. Onwurah Agility in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH described Funke Akindele's failed marriage as "unfortunate" adding that "maybe they were not to be husband and wife".

He said, "Because I am an actor does not mean I have to die in my marriage if it is not working out. We are humans like others, blood runs in our veins like other people.

"Marriage in Nollywood is not different from other marriages. But because we are the mirror of the society, the face of the screen and role models to many, if there is a problem in our marriage, it makes noise more than any other. There are many people in the industry that have been married for many years without separating.

"What happened to Funke (Akindele) is unfortunate but like she said, may be they were not to be husband and wife and she has learnt her lessons. It could have been anybody.

"The theory and stories that actors' marriages don't last are very wrong. I have been married for five years and still counting, likewise so many other actors in the industry."
