Video: Funke Akindele ‘Mocks’, Gifts Iyabo Ojo iPhone 16 Pro Max

Funke Akindele recently turned playful banter into a sweet moment, gifting Iyabo Ojo an iPhone 16 Pro Max to fans’ delight.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo recently received an unexpected iphone gift from her friend and fellow actress, Funke Akindele.

The heartwarming moment, which has since gone viral, unfolded during celebrity fashion designer Veekee James’s 30th birthday party.

Earlier, during a light-hearted conversation between the two, Akindele had teased Ojo about needing to upgrade her phone. In response, Ojo jokingly said, “Buy it for me.” What started as playful banter turned into a sweet surprise when Akindele delivered a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max to Ojo at the event.

A visibly excited Iyabo unboxed the gift on camera, showing off the sleek device with a beaming smile. “Can your friend ever?” she asked her fans jokingly while thanking Akindele for the generous gesture. She praised Funke as a “talk-and-do” kind of friend and called her the “real MVP.” Ojo also gushed about how much the phone meant to her, saying she loved it, though she humorously added, “Samsung still has a place in my heart.”

The viral video and display of genuine affection drew a wave of admiration from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Many praised their bond and used the opportunity to reflect on the value of true friendship. Comments flooded the internet, with @amokemakeovers writing, “Moral of this: choose your friends wisely.” Another user, @jaggynation, added in Yoruba, “Eni ti olorun ba ran si eniyan lo nse eniyan ni ore,” which means, “Only those sent by God truly become real friends.”

Others highlighted the significance of the moment in the context of the actresses’ growing friendship, especially after their warm interactions at Iyabo Ojo’s daughter Priscilla’s wedding. Though Funke couldn’t attend the Nigerian ceremony, she sent heartfelt prayers and later appeared in grand style at the wedding’s Tanzanian finale. Their joint entrance became a trending topic, symbolizing a newfound closeness between the two stars.

Reacting to the video, Funke Akindele playfully commented, “Iyabo! If I catch you. Loo. Love you my darling. Now change that phone.” The moment resonated with fans, including @mzzphynest, who recalled hearing the joke and remarked, “Now we can have a clear video on Snap, ese o.”

Many fans referenced the previous playful rivalry between the actresses over Samsung and iPhone. @bellezabyfavour joked, “After the battle between Samsung and iPhone in Tanzania, congrats.” Meanwhile, @enioluwaofficial added a touch of praise, saying, “Look what the Lord has done. What you waited for has come to pass.”

The gift exchange not only brought smiles but also served as a reminder of the importance of kindness, thoughtfulness, and the beauty of having supportive friends.
