Funke Akindele-Bello, Nigerian actress, has come under
intense criticism on social media platforms for throwing a house party in Lagos
amid the ongoing lockdown in the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered a 14-day lockdown in
Lagos, Ogun and Abuja so as to prevent the spread of the killer disease.
The Lagos state government had also placed a ban on large
gatherings.
But on Saturday, the film star organized a house party to
celebrate the birthday of Abdulrasheed Bello, her husband, at their residence
at Amen Estate, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
In attendance were the likes of Naira Marley, Eniola Badmus
among others.
The development has since provoked outrage on social media platforms
where users are registering their annoyance and disappointment.
“See the Crowd at Funke Akindele’s Party with Naira Marley
in attendance, Eniola Badmus and people who just barely returned from the UK
The height of irresponsibility,” a Twitter user said.
“What impression does Funke Akindele leave to those who look
up to her after that House party? Not to even talk about her being an
ambassador for NCDC. Seeing Naira Marley there with his boys, Eniola Badmus
too?? Missing just one birthday in a lifetime won’t kill you,” another user
said.
Here is what some Nigerians had to say:
Some of us said it was wrong to use Funke Akindele in that NCDC video, una say no, people look up to her, I hope you know the party she organized yesterday sent a message to those people who “look up to her” that Coronavirus is not that serious?— Jack Robinson (@FeralJack_) April 5, 2020
It’s actually disappointing when we see educated people act like illiterates.— Tife🌚 (@Tife_fabunmi) April 5, 2020
Imagine a NCDC ambassador who is aware of what’s right and still doing the opposite
Even if you don’t care about your own health, what about those that attended the party? Funke Akindele messed up mehn.

I thought they said No movement.. how did that crowd get to Funke Akindele’s house . I’m so sure naira Marley does not stay in Amen Estate with her. Are we flying now— Dr PamPam | Omo Iya Ologi (@UnclePamilerin) April 5, 2020
Pay attention to what people do and not what they say.— Aproko Doctor™ (@aproko_doctor) April 5, 2020
A few million naira and a camera and Funke Akindele will say anything you want her to say regardless of whether she believes it or not.
What she did made the work harder for the NCDC she is supposed to be representing
I can’t believe funke Akindele actually held a party in her house during this quarantine period.— martial (@Okslaw_11) April 5, 2020
How can you endanger the lives of people like this ?
Even if your birthday is important don’t you know you can still celebrate another one
I am disappointed in funke Akindele.
Isn’t same Funke Akindele that did advert for Dettol and NCDC concerning this Coronavirus pandemic?— Tosin🇳🇬🙎🏾♂️ (@Ohloowatoscene) April 5, 2020
How irresponsible can she and her husband be.... I think sense is far away from those we call our celebrities. 🤦♂️🤦♂️

The height of irresponsibility!https://t.co/IYVo36gQEG
-NCDC Ambassador— Obi Of Onitsha🇨🇦 (@cliqik) April 5, 2020
-Dettol Ambassador
-Did two awareness videos on social distancing.
Yet, Funke Akindele Invited Eniola Badmus and Naira Marley who returned from the UK into her house, as if that wasn't enough, she threw a full house party.
This level of recklessness is insane!
Sidney pranked us, he got away with it. If the government doesn’t arrest everyone that attended that Funke Akindele’s house party, Maybe everyone should just go back to their normal lives and let the virus kill all of us 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️— Salman👑 (@NotJustSalmanPR) April 5, 2020
So Funke Akindele and her husband had a party full of people in their house yesterday with everything going on now ? Shame !! pic.twitter.com/FQ5QtdqI0s— Oyindamola🧔 (@dammiedammie35) April 5, 2020
Stanning Funke Akindele does not mean you have to go blind when she’s wrong. Telling Her the house party was wrong does not make me a hater too.— Duke of Ibadan 🀄️ (@AsiwajuLerry) April 5, 2020
Khulu’l Aqhor walao qana mu ro[Say the truth, even when it’s bitter].
You know what comes next after this, don’t you?— Duke of Ibadan 🀄️ (@AsiwajuLerry) April 5, 2020
Funke Akindele will come to social media, write long Shalaye notes, give boring excuses, beg for sympathy, and also promise to SuPpOrT NCDC iN fIgHtInG cOvId 19 wItH aLl HeR iNfLuEnCe.
Funke Akindele that was supposed to be an ambassador for NCDC really out there throwing parties and people still came through🤦🏽♂️...Shame!— Lamarr ❁ (@Kinglamarr___) April 5, 2020
Nigerians will embarrass you.
What Funke Akindele did has always been my concern with Nigerian celebrities ambassadorship deals. As an ambassador, you should live, preach & breath the essence of that brand.— Wale Adetona (@iSlimfit) April 5, 2020
Same way some of them get signed as Infinix/Tecno ambassadors but end up flaunting iphones outside.
Dear @NCDCgov,— #OurFavOnlineDoc 🛂 (@DrOlufunmilayo) April 5, 2020
Please I hope there’s a clause in the contract that Funke Akindele signed that spells punishment for the kind of idiocy she displayed yesterday hosting a house party despite being a NCDC ambassador.
This is a total slap on the NCDC.
Pls RT till NCDC acts on this.
Anyone defending Funke Akindele right now is just a stoopid illiterate.— Tife🌚 (@Tife_fabunmi) April 5, 2020

That is to say; she kept Naira Marley, Eniola Badmus, Martin Feelz and the rest under her roof for 2 weeks prior her birthday.
Ride on Ambassador! We believe you😂🤡
