“I No Wan Go Jail!” – Ijoba Lande Retracts Claim, Says Funke Akindele Paid Him ₦190k, Not ₦90k
Controversial Nollywood actor and skit maker, Ganiyu Kehinde Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has made a U-turn on his recent claim that star actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele underpaid him.
After facing heavy backlash online, Lande released a new video on Friday clarifying that Akindele actually paid him ₦190,000 for his work on her movie set, not ₦90,000 as he initially alleged.
Explaining the confusion, he claimed the original video was poorly edited, which led to a miscommunication. Speaking in Yoruba, Lande publicly apologized to Akindele, pleading for her forgiveness and insisting that defaming her was never his intention.

In the video caption, he wrote, “Make God no let my mouth put me for big trouble oooh… I’m very sorry mama, I didn’t mean it this way.”
