Funke Akindele was on TVC’s Your view yesterday and she said that her friends are not allowed to call her husband unless it’s his birthday.
The topic for the day had been the “Issue of personal space in relationships”, and they had tried to specify the question a bit. They asked her specifically if it was okay for her best friend to be friends with her husband, and she didn’t hold back with her response.
Funke Akindele infused the Jenifa character and stated that for both of them (Funke and Jenifa), she didn’t think it was right for her friend to call her husband except in special cases. She said her friend could call her husband (JJC Skillz) to wish him a happy birthday. She said “For me, personal space is personal space. Your best friend has to stay in her lane. Your friend can come to your house, your husband can know your best friend, he can say hello but why would she be calling my husband on the phone? Except it’s his birthday.”
She also added that if her friend could not reach her for a while and called her husband to ask about her or speak to her, then that was fine too. She also told them that they were not allowed to call him to just greet him or send him random text messages.
She had been on a media tour for the Dettol Clean Naija initiative at the show when she was asked the question. The host seemed to like her response to the question and supported her view.
Anyway, it would be great to hear other people’s opinions on this issue. So tell us in the comment section if it would be okay for your friend or best friend to call your husband?
