Amala Drama That Got Fans Talking

The highlight of Funke’s Abuja visit came during a funny car conversation between the two friends when Badosky boldly asked Lafunky to cook her favourite Nigerian meal, amala. Funke immediately shut down the idea, reminding Eniola that, as a guest, she should be the one to cook for her, not the other way around.

Eniola teased her friend, saying she wanted Funke to make amala for her since it had been a long time since she tasted her food.

Eniola said:

"Let me take you to my house for you to make amala for me. It has been a while since I ate your food."

Funke responded, saying:

"I came to Abuja, you said I should make Amala for you. You are supposed to make food for me; you're useless. Get out!"

Eniola insisted:

"No, you are the one to cook, no time for all that."
