₦2.6BN? I’M JUST GETTING STARTED! — Funke Akindele Declares.
Nollywood star actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has shed light on why she continues to actively promote her blockbuster film, Behind The Scenes, despite the movie’s remarkable commercial success at the box office.
The award-winning filmmaker made the clarification on Monday via her Snapchat page after receiving a message from a follower who questioned the need for further publicity. According to the message, the film had already grossed over ₦2.6 billion, raising curiosity about why the promotional campaign was still ongoing.
Responding in a video shared with her fans, Akindele explained that her motivation goes beyond financial gains.
“Someone sent a message to me, and he said, ‘Behind The Scenes has grossed over ₦2.6 billion. Why are you still promoting it?’” she recounted.
The actress said she initially felt relaxed about the impressive milestone but quickly reflected on what truly drives her career.
“I told the person, it’s not about the money. No, it’s not about the money. The most important thing is consistency,” she said.
Akindele emphasized that sustained effort and continuous engagement are key ingredients for long-term success in the highly competitive Nigerian film industry. According to her, maintaining momentum is essential not only for breaking personal records but also for setting new industry standards.
“If you want to be successful, if you want to keep breaking your record, you want to keep breaking new grounds, you have to be consistent with whatever you are doing. You have to be,” she added.
Industry observers note that Akindele’s strategic approach to promotion has become a hallmark of her brand. Over the years, she has built a reputation for relentless marketing, audience engagement, and innovative storytelling — factors that have contributed significantly to her films’ commercial dominance.
With Behind The Scenes crossing the ₦2.6 billion mark, the film further cements Akindele’s position as one of Nollywood’s highest-grossing producers. However, her recent comments suggest that for her, box office figures are only part of a bigger vision — one centered on discipline, resilience, and staying relevant in an ever-evolving entertainment landscape.
Her message resonates strongly with aspiring creatives and entrepreneurs, reinforcing the idea that consistency, rather than momentary success, is the true driver of sustained achievement.
