Nigerian streamer Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, has shared what Nollywood actress Funke Akindele did for him during a difficult period in his life.
A few months ago, Peller was involved in an accident after publicly expressing emotional distress linked to issues in his relationship with his lover, Jarvis.

He wrecked his new jeep and was later arrested for attempting to take his own life and sharing the incident online.
According to Peller, Akindele came through for him after his arrest and stood by him during that challenging time.
He appreciated the actress and praised her kindness, noting that she is always showing love to people and that it reflects clearly in her actions.
Funke Akindele reacts to Peller’s remarks
Reacting to streamer Peller’s comments at the event, Funke Akindele tried to cover his mouth to stop him from sharing details of what she did for him last year.
The streamer laughed and continued speaking, telling the actress that he had not been okay.
In response, Akindele prayed for him, said he was looking fresh, hugged him, and continued to speak words of encouragement.
This is not the first time Akindele has helped people or her colleagues without publicising it. A few months ago, she bought an iPhone for Iyabo Ojo and presented it to her at an event after they had earlier joked about Ojo’s phone. Akindele later fulfilled her promise to replace it.
Similarly, last year, skit maker and actor Kamo also spoke fondly of Akindele, sharing how she supported him and his wife during their wedding and later while they were trying to have a child.
