Nigeria: Has Funke Akindele Launched 'Jenifa' Perfume?

Popular Nollywood actress Funke Akindele most known for her
hit movie Jenifa, has been in the news a lot lately. First, she
parted ways with her husband of one-year, Kehinde Oloyede.
Now, the mill is abuzz with the news that she has launched a
perfume line. After a picture emerged on-line supposedly
showing the perfume named 'Jenifa'.
Various news outlets have reported that she is, indeed,
launching a perfume line. Nigerian Entertainment Today recently
confirmed that they spoke to Funke's publicist, Ayo Ola-
Mohammed, who confirmed the report. He was quoted to have
said "It is true; Funke has launched a perfume business. The
sample is currently in circulation. When she launches it officially,
she will let you know". But Encomium Magazine also said they
talked to Funke and she denied the report saying: "That's not
true. I'm not aware of anything like Jenifa perfume. I'm not
launching any perfume. I don't know anything about it".
Indeed, if Funke does make the perfume, she'll be cashing in on
her immense popularity from the Jenifa movie; in Nigeria and
beyond. She'll also join the ranks of fellow African stars like
Ruggedman, Soundsultan, Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo and Sarkodie
who have also cashed in on their popularity to launch clothing,
shoes, accessories and lifestyle brands. But how much of this
'Jenifa' thing Nigerians are willing to buy into can only be
determined by time.
