The drama began when Funke Akindele shared a photo of herself posing on a sidewalk in what appears to be a European city, possibly Dubai, given her past trips there as noted in a 2017 article from Linda Ikeji’s Blog. The image, posted on April 23, 2025, shows her standing near a traffic light with modern buildings and palm trees in the background. She captioned the post, “Oh Lord, We thank Thee!!!!! 🙏,” expressing gratitude. However, a user named @_Ekezie replied on April 24, saying, “Aunty Funke. Upon all the money in billions, you enter Europe dey snap picture for street.
