Funke Akindele Blows Hot After Kunle Afolayanâs Comment on Dancing to Promote Movies and Box Office Billions
Veteran filmmaker Kunle Afolayanâs recent comments have stirred reactions from his colleague, Funke Akindele.
In a recent interview, Kunle Afolayan critiqued the methods used to promote cinema films, which often require filmmakers to dance. He described the process as exhausting, while also commending Funke Akindeleâs efforts.
He said, âIt is draining. I want to make a film if you guarantee me that I donât have to dance to sell that film.â
Afolayan also criticised the growing obsession with box office figures, stating that massive cinema numbers mean little if creators do not benefit financially.
âThereâs no competition. I donât want two billion in cinema, or even one billion, if I wonât make ten million from it,â Afolayan stated.
âOur Lives at Risk,â Taraba Chief Judge Raises Alarm Over Police Withdrawal from Judges
Justice Joel Agya, Chief Judge of Taraba State, has raised concerns over the sudden withdrawal of police orderlies from judges, warning that it poses serious risks to judicial security and the administration of criminal justice. He noted that police officers attached to all judiciary officers in the state were withdrawn on December 8, 2025, without prior notice, leaving judges vulnerable.
Agya stressed that judges handling sensitive criminal, political, terrorism, and corr„ption cases face high security risks without protection. He emphasized that judicial independence extends beyond freedom from interference to include protection from intimidation, adding that court security is crucial for maintaining order, decorum, and fairness.
The Chief Judge urged swift action and constructive engagement to address the issue, highlighting that effective judicial work depends heavily on collaboration with the police. During a courtesy visit by Taraba State Commissioner of Police, Betty Isokpan, she clarified that court orderlies were not withdrawn. She explained that the withdrawal policy applied only to personal police escorts for VIPs and not to officers stationed in courts or judgesâ residences.
Isokpan reassured that court duty officers remain in place and highlighted that personnel from the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps would support police services for VIPs. She further noted that the directive from President Bola Tinubu, which called for the withdrawal of police orderlies from VIPs nationwide, aimed to reallocate security to the general public. Isokpan stressed the importance of institutional dialogue and cooperation for effective governance, while reaffirming her respect for judges and commitment to their protection.
This development underscores the delicate balance between public security priorities and the safety and independence of the judiciary.

Please fact-check me: 75% of people who are hospitalised are suffering from emotional or psychological issues. That is why you should focus on your own happiness as the best form of self-medication. Because your thoughts can make you well or unwell. You cannot afford to entertain negativity because it will unbalance you. Anything and anybody that triggers negativity in you should be avoided. Most people who pray for God to bless them can enter bliss by avoiding negativity and embracing positivity. It affects your finances too because money is repelled from you when you are in a state of stress and attracted to you when you are in bliss.
