Nigerian videographer and content creator Jeffrey Oboh-Oshioke, widely known as Juicyjeff, has publicly expressed profound gratitude to Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele for sponsoring his studies at the prestigious London Film Academy in the United Kingdom. Oboh-Oshioke, who has worked closely with Akindele on behind-the-scenes and mobile videography content, shared the emotional news on social media after arriving in London, marking a pivotal moment in his professional journey.
In a heartfelt post, Oboh-Oshioke detailed his journey from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos to Gatwick Airport in London, describing the experience as a "beautiful journey to be living". He credited Akindele with transforming his dream of studying filmmaking abroad into a tangible reality. "My mummy, @funkejenifaakindele, out of her incredible generosity and genuine belief in me, has given me an opportunity I will never take for granted — to come to London and pursue my passion for filmmaking at the London Film Academy," he wrote.
The videographer expressed deep appreciation for the actress's belief in his potential, saying, "Mummy, thank you for seeing something in me, believing in my potential and using your heart to open this door for me. Your support has moved this dream from a conversation to a real-life experience. Mummy, my God will bless and perfect all that concerns you in Jesus' name. I will never take this for granted Ma". He described the trip as the beginning of a new chapter in his life, adding, "So, this is not just another trip. It’s a new chapter, a new frame and definitely a bigger production".
Oboh-Oshioke, who is also known for his work as a photographer, is the latest beneficiary of Akindele's commitment to nurturing young Nigerian talent. The award-winning filmmaker, celebrated for her successful Jenifa franchise and numerous other Nollywood productions, has consistently played a significant role in the growth of Nigeria's film industry. She is currently in the United Kingdom following the unveiling of her latest project, "The Four". As Oboh-Oshioke embarks on his journey at the London Film Academy, his story serves as a testament to the power of mentorship and the impact of giving back to the creative community.
