According to Kamo, Funke Akindele offered to sponsor his wife to give birth in America even after he had informed her late about the pregnancy. He added that the Jenifa star insisted he stay back with his wife even though they were supposed to go to Dubai together.
The skitmaker mentioned how Funke Akindele told her driver and security detail to follow them to the hospital at any hour of the day to ensure their safety and that the actress connected them to a very good doctor in Lagos and paid for every bill.
However, that was not all. Kamo added that Funke Akindele had offered to sponsor their child’s naming ceremony down to the food for guests and outfits for him and his wife.
The actor wrote in part:
“I’ll never forget the nights you spent by my side at the hospital, your presence a soothing balm, your vigilance a testament to your love. Even when I told you about the pregnancy late, you were ready to fly my wife to the US for the baby’s birth, showing the lengths you’d go to for us. We were suppose to go to Dubai together when i told you my wife’s expected delivery date is close,you insisted i stay with her,while you’re in Dubai with your kids, you called my wife every single day, just to check up on her and make sure she was doing well any day i didn’t pick call like this you’ll fight me ni ooo that you must talk to ESTHER to check her,you told your driver and security details to follow us to the hospital even if we call them in the midnight, ensuring we were safe and sound. You secured one of the best doctor in Lagos for my wife, and took care of every single bill, showing your selfless generosity. You prayed for my wife in our prayer group every single time, and you forced me to pray countless times, always reminding me of the power of faith. And now, as we shall be christening our baby this Tuesday,you’ve once again stepped forward,sponsoring the naming from the food to the beautiful outfits for my wife and me, you’re taking care of everything, ensuring that this celebration is as special as it can be.”
