Comedian and actor Ijoba Lande has publicly retracted his earlier claim that filmmaker and actress Funke Akindele underpaid him for his role in the TV series My Sibling and I.
In an emotional apology video, Lande clarified that his previous statement was misunderstood and taken out of context.
While he initially mentioned being paid N90,000, he now says he actually received N190,000—and that Akindele even increased his daily pay after he raised concerns.
Fighting back tears, Lande begged Akindele for forgiveness, insisting that he never intended to tarnish her image or stir up controversy.
He also pleaded with her not to pursue legal action, saying he lacks the financial capacity to withstand such a battle.
Lande said: “Please help me beg aunty funke. That was not how I made the video. I didn’t do the video to tarnish your image. Aunty funke you didn’t do any wickedness. Those of you that cut video half way you aren’t good and you are wicked.
“When I was explaining, that it was 90,000 you cut it and join it together. It was not 90,000 from the start, and I explained it in the video that sorry it was 190,000 not 90,000. I wasn’t the only one in the video, infact mama ogba came upstairs to come and tell me that is okay like that and we were even discussing the good thing aunty funke had done in the industry.
“You now cut and join the video to post , you didn’t pick the full video to post. You now cut the place where I made mistake, please now don’t spoil my life
“If I am sue now that they paid 190,000 not 90,000 where will I get the money to pay for fine. Please help me beg aunty funke that i didn’t mean it the way people are seeing it.
“And what really happened was that, we were discussing about the upcoming that anytime they are going for work, they should always charge before going to work because we have many users in the industry now.
“And many of the producer are not aware of how much they paid the actor, that the PM would have removed some of the money before paying that was what I was explaining in the video. Then I use the story of aunty funke and I as an example that I went to work with her in the year 2022
“That I spent a whole Month at the location and I was paid 90,000 then I later change it that It was 190,000 that I was paid
“I signed the agreement with her, I was okay with the money that was why I agreed to it and what happened to me then was that it was aunty funke that called me to work and it was someone else that brought the paper and I decided to do the work for that one month and as soon as the month ends. I stopped going to the location.the title of the work Was MY SIBLING AND I and I acted as a gateman in the movie.
“She called herself asking why I didn’t come to the location again and I told her why I didn’t come that the money is not good enough and she asked me how much and I told her, she then said why didn’t you tell me and I said I thought she was aware, that was when I got to know she was not aware of the price ,she then said okay, they will Call me back .
“I was called back and she said they should be paying me daily and they started paying 55,000 or 65,000 daily till I finished the word with them.
“Now you went ahead to cut the place I talked about 90,000 even though I said it in the video that it was a mistake,I was not the only one in the video please. Aunty funke please I am so sorry, forgive me, I don’t have anything to fight with you and please don’t fight me too please.
“If you decide to arrest me, you just want to send me to prison because I am not fighting you please ooo”.
