Funke Akindele Speaks ‘My Encounter In The Jungle’

One of the celebrities in the ongoing Gulder Ultimate Search: Celebrity Showdown, Funke Akindele the popular actress who was the first to be evicted from the show, has described her experience in the reality show as that of pain and pleasure. According to her; “It was a pretty difficult and wonderful experience for me because it is my first time of doing something like this in my life. Though, it was difficult, I enjoyed every bit of it. I learnt a lot while there and I enjoyed all the tasks. I never knew I could stay in the sun for two hours doing serious tasks like that. I learned about accommodating and tolerating people. It was fun. I enjoyed myself there.” Jenifa said her eviction from the show was that of mixed feelings. “I wasn't sad being evicted at that stage, but I won't lie to you, it was pretty difficult. You can imagine sleeping on the hard sand of the jungle, cooking with firewood and bathing in the open. What an experience! To be honest with you, I was happy being sent home. Although, some of my fans may not be happy because they would have wanted me to win in the show. They would want to see 'Jenifa' becoming an 'Ultimate Woman' but one person would surely win and it is not me.” .Note: Bob Emmanuel Udokwu a popular actor is also out of the jungle he was evicted a week after Jenifa.
