Nollywood actress Funke Akindele finally broke her silence about her recently estranged marriage with entertainment mogul, JJC Skillz.

The actress who recently held the premiere of her box office film, 'Battle on Buka Street', shared her thoughts with Legit.ng on a number of things in this interview.

The Jenifa actress spoke about her new movie and the inspiration behind its plot, while also explaining what happened in her second marriage and why it crashed.

Speaking on her new movie, 'Battle on Buka Street', Funke gave an insight into what inspired the film: "Battle on Buka Street tells the Nigerian story, an insight into our culture, and an appreciation of our food but done from an entertaining and comical angle woven with many moral lessons."

She also touched on her separation from her husband, JJC Skillz.

She said:

"Well, the truth is our dreams and vision of what our marriage should be just no longer aligned. And efforts to make it work all fell on deaf ears, so why hang around."

Funke Akindele also had this to say when we asked her what she stands to gain by going into politics:

"As a young person in Lagos, I'm bothered because my future is at stake, and the future of my boys is at stake if we continue to live like this in Lagos. No matter your tribe, as long as you live in Lagos, and you're tired of the standard of living, the present situation of things, and there is a feeling that it is time for a change, well now you have it. That is the succour my principal and I intend to provide."
