Mixed reactions trail Funke Akindele television series `Jenifa’s Diary’

Viewers of `Jenifa’s Diary’, a popular television series by Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have expressed mixed reactions over the programme.

While some applauded Funke Akindele for reeling out an entertaining series with top notch creativity towards the projecting of the movie industry both home and abroad, others condemned her use of language.

For Mrs. Chidinmma Okolo, the programme is creative and Akindele had brought her brand to bear in the television series. “Jenifa Diary is creative and she brought her own kind of acting into the show which is different from the routine Nollywood acting we know. It is a reality show that is shot in modern settings,” she said.

On the contrary, another viewer, Ohanwe, noted that she would not recommend the programme for children, adding that if they watched it overtime, it may corrupt their use of English.

Mrs. Grace Obi, a Human Resource Officer, said the programme was not creative and does not have any value to add to someone who was focused. “The series is more of a local television programme that cannot impact the life of any serious minded individual,” she said.

Jenifa Dairy parades appearance by stars that includes Falz, OAP Lolo, Waje, Ali Nuhu, Alex Ekubo and most recent, Mavin star, Tiwa Savage.
