On Saturday, May 26, 2012 Funke Akindele will be traditionally ‘tying the knot’ with Kenny Almaroof, a Lagos socialite and politician.

Dear 6ster i blv dis is d right time 4u. E sogba yin a mebo

Funke, LIFE IS FULL OF MYSTEROUS, D MORE U LOOSE,D MORE UR ENEMY TAKE ACTION. Try and stay stick to ur relationship so as to ensure continuity in ur affair. BEST OF LUCK.

Jenny babe u made d right choice by marrying kenny Doo its d lords doin and its marvellous in our eyes, d good lord will be ur strength. congratulations!
funke am so happy 4 u at least at last u eventually got someone dt took ur hand in marriage al i wil just tel u is dt destiny can never be change it can only be dely .there is a yoruba proverb dt says (ewo iyawo mu ori lo ma se mu ewa lo )i which u happy marriage life love u girl friend.
i just feel u should think about it funke.and use d divourced among d actors and actresses mistakes as ur strength.so dat u wudnt fall into d same pit.
those dat did not like u will tell u u are on d right track.those dat care abt u will tell u to remember dat ‘pasan ti a fi na iyale o nbe loke aja fun iyawo’
u ve done so many films includin polygamous films which u strongly preach that a polygamous home is not situable.but seein u marryin into a polygamous home u leav ur fans to sayin dat u re not actin bcoz u want otherz to learn but u re actin wit a selfish Heart…….
Hmm… to all the single guys out there; how many of you wants to marry a successful lady? You feel intimidated & cannot approach them… Funke needed a man but none of you ‘could bell the cat’ and now you complain about her getting married to a married man. Shio!
Beloved Olufunke! It’s U; ur CHOICE; ur LOVE; ur PEACE; ur WORLD; ur JOY & ur FULFILMENT. I pray u enjoy it 2 glory of GOD, IJMN, amen. Gr8t U; Gr8t HUBBY & Gr8t UNION. Chop 3 knuckles … Gbosas!!! Congrats!

Those who understand the ways of the lord will keep his commandments. The fear of the lord is the begining of wisdom. Funke has made her choice but i can say it with all boldness that its never what God has planned, my own God’ll never push u to a married man, but all the same, i wish u d best of luck.

Funke, don’t knw much abt ur movies other dan Jennifer, &judging by Jennifer alone, u’re really blessed wth rare talent. Now, as a xtian let me remind u dt d word of God says in Mark 10:7&8 “so shall a man leave his father &mother & shall cleave unto his wife &both shall bcome one flesh” not shall cleave unto his wives… U have to pls God to claim blessings frm HIM, even in matrimony. God cannot be mocked. Ur fans may see me as ur hater, bt if u get 2see my post, I knw u’ll knw wt I am 2 u. Peace.
My queen, i can understand age is not by ur side, is not an easy task to get married to someone with wife and kids i pray God Almighty will be with ur marriage pls dont dissapoint ur fans

no cos 4 worried, liv ur lyf tight,no mata wot if marriage go crash,he go crash. Afta all na celeb u be, him ma na celeb, so ur lyf go fit wel. And ur parent no fit open there eyez make ur lyf spoil. Na al of us knw say husband no easy 2 get, afta all u don day old oh.
Jenny baby u r more dan dis rubbish u r gettin into, well hope it will last afterall u r a celeb so u know wat u galz do wen u r tired of d marriage anyway no b byforce to marryooooooooo
I’m glad to hear u are getting married Funke but am afraid u opted for a second wife… What if Kenny decides to marry a third wife? The first wife, does kenny have her sincere consent? Are u prepared for d rivary game in polygamy??? I pray for you to be happy in kenny’s life. Good luck girl friend.
i pray a lovely home for you sister ,happy married life
Funke, d reason y u choose 2ß a 2nd wife is best known 2u. Bt d fin is, a man who decided make u 2nd ova his 1st wife, cn also decides 2 marry wife numba 3, coz d muslim ar alwd 2 tak as much as possibu, so wt wil now happen? Wt hapnd 2yo BIBLE? Nwy al d best. Bt personaly 4mi, I DNT LYK IT.

Dear Funke,
My heart jumped for Joy when i heard about ur up coming wedding and the next minute my heart skipped when i also learnt that you are getting married to a married man. All reasons attached is best know to you and i wish you a happy married life. but please dont be lyk some celebrity that changes hubby lyk cloth, you have waited this far please enjoy your marriage to the fulliest and endure the hardship in it. Be submissive and humble (obe ti baale ile kin je, iyawo ile kin se oo) as much as your carrier matters so also your home, so please keep it tight. don’t mind the haters they are not you and you are not them no one can choose for you neither will they be the one to live your life for you. BE YOURSELF and always acknowledge the presence of the eldest wife (it is very important). I still remain your fan.
Am happy for you! Wish you all the best and a fruitful marriage. Please continue your acting because am one of your fan and i have missed your face in home video. Stay blessed.
Its thé LORDS doing nd its marvelous in our sight,m’y dear sis funke am indeed happy 4 u.Thé Lord has made u beautiful
