Here are the few reasons she gave for saying this. The
funniest part was the ‘Abebelube’ part, and she still had to say thank you
because she is a celebrity, lol. Her words below;....
“I was at the airport sometime back and a woman came to say
hello. Of course, I greeted her politely. Again, she came and I did same thing.
Again, she came and I was still my smiling self. This went on like 20 times and
she brought many people to see me! When it was time to board the plane, I was
on a queue and suddenly had a slap on my back! It was the woman and she said,
‘Abebelube’ (Yoruba word for a more-than-smart person) and laughed. I was hurt!
But I just grinned and said ‘thank you ma.’
The normal Funke Akindele would have reacted but I just
reminded myself of the status. But I am human! I remember having fever, went to
the clinic, was asked to run a test and as my doctor attended to me, another
doctor passed by and said in everyone’s hearing that, ‘Funke Akindele came for
a pregnancy test!’ Though he was joking, what if those people picked it up and
the rumour spread? Even if I came for a pregnancy test, am I not entitled to my
privacy? It is not too enviable a world.”
