Folake Olowofoyeku Extended Interview | ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’

[@obehiokojie4066]

Any show that has a Nigerian guest, be sure to see the comment section flooded with comments by Nigerians. We always show up for a fellow Nigerian. So proud of you, Folake. Keep the light glowing!

[@sienna8234]

This isnt Lagos oh, our Naija brethren. Dont overpopulate the comment section. Support in moderation

[@lexaneli]

We noticed 😊. But I am always happy to see my black women winning regardless to where they're from 😊

[@ladytgaopex]

Yes!

[@DuaWithThankfulShuqroh]

❤️❤️😘

[@ruthlucas6155]

Before nko😂😂😂😂...we just creep out 100%

[@samtislorh8529]

Folaké is another embodiment of what the Naija spirit is all about. A Nigerian from the Caribbean here. 🇯🇲🇺🇲🇳🇬🇺🇲🇯🇲🇳🇬🇯🇲

[@thelearningclinic6999]

Welcome sister. Love you too from a Caribbean Nigerian sister.

[@fineboy-xw7qc]

Aunty Jennifer murdered that name🤣🤣🥲

[@bukolapopoola5574]

I know😂

[@amydk274]

She tried though. 😊

[@iamladyblack1188]

🤣🤣🤣

[@latifaa.s2215]

Olo whoo fo yee coup is quite an uncommon Nigerian surname!! 😄😄

[@upniyi]

​@@latifaa.s2215 It is from Ijesha dialect. "A rich man won't lack honor".

[@YnOt-4]

Folake is actually a vibe when not playing Abishola... I see her play a role in next Wakanda sequel or any other major African -Nollywood movie

[@ndo533]

She is just lovely. Her height, her skin, her hair, and that smile! Wonderfully beautiful lady

[@iheanyiakwuiwu6970]

Marvel needs to get this woman to play Storm ⚡ her height , her presence, her smile. She would make an iconic Ororo!

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

This 👆🏿

[@oketokidavid5874]

Agreed

[@ruckes13]

I agree

[@JJ-zr3qx]

Agree

[@thezu9250]

Storm is supposed to be part East African and African-American. This actress is from West Africa.

[@gideonadeyemi9602]

Go on girl. Keep changing narratives and making Nigerians proud all over the world.

[@kellykinde8642]

Oh my goodness, I went to boarding school with Folake. So proud of her, I also recall having to pronounce her surname a couple times before I got it right, it's only 6 syllables cmon but it has a great meaning. Well done Folake very encouraged by your success.

[@zoesmall8574]

Love the show. Been married to my Nigerian husband for 1 year on January 21. Still waiting for his paperwork to process so we can live together in the US. The show keeps my spirit up while waiting. 💖

[@meshackachigili6666]

Happy for you wishing you a blissful marriage with your Nigeria husband.

[@ImeUdo-ObongMesoEx]

Folake is VERY VERY confident and audacious on this interview. She took control of this interview. Truly the excellent Nigerian spirit which is the best part of being Nigerian born and excelling in your chosen career overseas...thanks Jennifer Hudson for inviting her to your show..

[@munibayahaya4510]

As confident as a true Nigerian

[@David_hertz_keyz]

I am half Nigerian 🇳🇬 and Half Sierra Leonean 🇸🇱 and I loved when that lady said Sierra Leone has the best 😊 even though I might not be like that but I appreciate her standing for her country

[@teach2305]

Proudly 🇳🇬 proudly 🇸🇱 ✌️♥️

[@gbemiakitoye8513]

Talking drums are literally what they're called. In Yoruba culture, they're used to pass messages, to tell stories.... they are an integral part of our culture.

[@sienna8234]

Talking drums are in all West African cultures. The drum is central to communication, dance and expression

[@ohzealous125]

Proudly Nigerian too. Loving Folake's show. Loving Jennifer's show. You go ladies!!!

[@mayowaedgar]

Shout out to Folake Olowofoyeku all the way from Nasarawa State, Nigeria. I loved her Character in the Show.

[@tg7112]

Did we finally find the Folake that all Nigerian celebrities sing about?😊

[@NikkiRichNYC]

Right Lol

[@ribaker822]

Okay, I'm going to shamelessly say it, Folake sat right behind me in primary school, so I'm particularly proud of how far she has come. Massive congratulations to her! The only question I have for her is "what happened to your gorgeous long hair from childhood?". This girl had that Rapunzel kind of hair as a child. Wishing you greater strides.

[@kuzonsembewe4654]

No shame!I would say it too😅

[@johnikeson3114]

Well done, to move to America in 2001 and to achieve what you have achieved is phenomenal. Very inspirational.

[@4-real950]

Very Phenomenal. You can say that again and again!

So confident lady, glad to see African diaspora doing great

We love you Folake!

[@xtremeakim]

She sooo cute, confident, most beautiful smile I've seen... and gosh, she speaks sooo well. She should totally have her own show!

[@Bantuqueen01]

Speaks well because she doesn’t have her native accent? But the European language ? Y’all are so so lost till it’s sad…

[@azpersonal]

@@Bantuqueen01do not be a hater, she sounds exactly how she should sound, and what's wrong with having an accent if you have lived in a country for a long time?

[@azpersonal]

Yes she is!

[@crissoa]

@@Bantuqueen01you’re reading too much into the comment. That someone is well spoken has nothing to do with having an accent. There are Americans with an American accent who don’t speak well. It’s a gift that some people just have.

[@moji234]

I'm proud of you Folake. God bless you for being a patriotic and promoting your country Nigeria so much in spite of the negativities. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ugoboss6898]

She speaks very well. As a fellow Nigerian, I need to work on my oral fluency and linguistic gymnastics more! 😊

[@Bantuqueen01]

But why do y’all want to lose your native language and take on the European language? How sad..

[@Gray_Studytube]

⁠@@Bantuqueen01she said fluency - Foluke doesn’t sound American, when you hear her you would know she’s definitely Nigerian. Accent is different from being articulate and fluent. But I assume you’re American so we would give you a pass. Knowledge and the quest to be better isn’t “y’all’s” strong suite

[@benleung6331]

I wish Jennifer Hudson could explore more about Folake's Nigeria heritage in this interview, which she obviously doesn't know much about (like what jollof rice is). It is fine to be clueless about another part of the world, I am also. But she should take advantage of her platform to educate us about another culture.

Go girl, am proud of my Nija people. The jollof rice must be good sha.
