Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has finally landed in Tanzania for the grand finale of Priscilla Ojo’s wedding.

In a trending video, the high-grossing actress was seen at the airport alongside Jaiye Kuti.

They were welcomed with a bouquet of roses and a handwoven muffler draped around their necks, with “Tanzania” written on it.

Her host, Iyabo Ojo, noted that Tanzanians had promised to “show them pepper,” meaning they would treat them to a warm and lively experience.

Ojo added that they were in the country to witness an amazing experience.

Jaiye Kuti added that they had also brought “rodo” (Scotch bonnet pepper) to show the Tanzanians.

In the video, Funke Akindele showed off some dance moves as cultural dancers came to welcome them.

Her energetic dancing warmed the hearts of fans, who praised her as a showstopper with her moves.

Juma Jux’s sisters and others who received them used a flowered scarf to cover her neck.
