Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has funded a study programme for Nigerian content creator Jeffrey Oboh-Oshioke, popularly known as Juicyjeff, at the London Film Academy.

The content creator shared the good news on Tuesday via Instagram after arriving in London, where he will begin his classes.

Juicyjeff, who works closely with Akindele shooting behind-the-scenes and mobile videos on her film sets, expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity. He described Akindele’s gesture as an act of incredible generosity and genuine belief in his potential.

He noted that her support had turned a dream into a real-life experience and that he would never take it for granted.

He wrote:
“My mummy, @funkejenifaakindele, out of her incredible generosity and genuine belief in me, has given me an opportunity I will never take for granted — to come to London and pursue my passion for filmmaking at the London Film Academy. Mummy, thank you for seeing something in me, believing in my potential and using your heart to open this door for me. Your support has moved this dream from a conversation to a real-life experience. I will never take this for granted, Ma.”

“This is not just another trip. It’s a new chapter, a new frame and definitely a bigger production! From Lagos to London, the camera keeps rolling… and I’m grateful for every scene. London Film Academy… LEGGO!.”
