Any show that has a Nigerian guest, be sure to see the comment section flooded with comments by Nigerians. We always show up for a fellow Nigerian. So proud of you, Folake. Keep the light glowing!
This isnt Lagos oh, our Naija brethren. Dont overpopulate the comment section. Support in moderation
We noticed 😊. But I am always happy to see my black women winning regardless to where they're from 😊
Yes!
❤️❤️😘
Before nko😂😂😂😂...we just creep out 100%
Folake is actually a vibe when not playing Abishola... I see her play a role in next Wakanda sequel or any other major African -Nollywood movie
Folaké is another embodiment of what the Naija spirit is all about. A Nigerian from the Caribbean here. 🇯🇲🇺🇲🇳🇬🇺🇲🇯🇲🇳🇬🇯🇲
Welcome sister. Love you too from a Caribbean Nigerian sister.
Aunty Jennifer murdered that name🤣🤣🥲
I know😂
She tried though. 😊
🤣🤣🤣
Olo whoo fo yee coup is quite an uncommon Nigerian surname!! 😄😄
@@latifaa.s2215 It is from Ijesha dialect. "A rich man won't lack honor".
Oh my goodness, I went to boarding school with Folake. So proud of her, I also recall having to pronounce her surname a couple times before I got it right, it's only 6 syllables cmon but it has a great meaning. Well done Folake very encouraged by your success.
She is just lovely. Her height, her skin, her hair, and that smile! Wonderfully beautiful lady
Marvel needs to get this woman to play Storm ⚡ her height , her presence, her smile. She would make an iconic Ororo!
This 👆🏿
Agreed
I agree
Agree
Storm is supposed to be part East African and African-American. This actress is from West Africa.
Go on girl. Keep changing narratives and making Nigerians proud all over the world.
I am half Nigerian 🇳🇬 and Half Sierra Leonean 🇸🇱 and I loved when that lady said Sierra Leone has the best 😊 even though I might not be like that but I appreciate her standing for her country
Proudly 🇳🇬 proudly 🇸🇱 ✌️♥️
Folake is VERY VERY confident and audacious on this interview. She took control of this interview. Truly the excellent Nigerian spirit which is the best part of being Nigerian born and excelling in your chosen career overseas...thanks Jennifer Hudson for inviting her to your show..
As confident as a true Nigerian
Love the show. Been married to my Nigerian husband for 1 year on January 21. Still waiting for his paperwork to process so we can live together in the US. The show keeps my spirit up while waiting. 💖
Happy for you wishing you a blissful marriage with your Nigeria husband.
We love you Folake!
Proudly Nigerian too. Loving Folake's show. Loving Jennifer's show. You go ladies!!!
Talking drums are literally what they're called.
In Yoruba culture, they're used to pass messages, to tell stories.... they are an integral part of our culture.
Talking drums are in all West African cultures. The drum is central to communication, dance and expression
Okay, I'm going to shamelessly say it, Folake sat right behind me in primary school, so I'm particularly proud of how far she has come. Massive congratulations to her! The only question I have for her is "what happened to your gorgeous long hair from childhood?". This girl had that Rapunzel kind of hair as a child. Wishing you greater strides.
No shame!I would say it too😅
That’s exactly why I love that show, a Nigerian part played by a Nigerian!!!❤❤❤
Right? That's insane that it's never happened before. But I'm freaking out hearing her speak without a full-on Nigerian accent! She has a lovely speaking voice, but to me, hearing a Nigerian accent is one of the most satisfying sounds ever. I think it's the aural equivalent of velvet: it's rich, smooth, regal, sumptuous, sexy. I remember many years ago telling a client who was from Lagos that I could just listen to her read the phone book. I think she thought I was weird. 😂
Did we finally find the Folake that all Nigerian celebrities sing about?😊
Right Lol
Now, we need to find Bolanle, and find out why she ‘peppers dem!’ 😂
😅😅😅
@@AMOE_30 hahahahaha spot on!
😂😂😂😂
Proudly Nigerian.
🖤
I'm not Nigerian, but I love Jelloff rice.
East African here but super proud of the many Nigerians putting highlighting the country AND the continent!❤️
🇳🇬 🇳🇬🇳🇬👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Im not Nigerian but Fela Kuti is one ify favorite artists
Shout out to Folake Olowofoyeku all the way from Nasarawa State, Nigeria. I loved her Character in the Show.
I Love Folake, she is lively, smiling, beautiful and many more
Couldn't be more proud about a beautiful and confident Nigerian lady putting Nigeria on the global scene. Naija no dey carry last. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
She's stunning. Naija pride
Viola Davis and,Folake Olowofoye need to Play in a Movie together that Would be Grate!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😆😆😆😆❤❤❤❤❤❤
Most definitely 💯 I agree
FACTS....!!!
Right? They give the same energy!
YES!!
With Lupita. The trifecta of melanin glory
Anty Folake, you are doing your big one!!! Love you so much!!
Five seasons already WOW. I remember a couple of years ago she was on The Real and said she is the youngest of 20. That clip is on youtube also.
Folake is so audacious and confident . Love that about her
Well done, to move to America in 2001 and to achieve what you have achieved is phenomenal. Very inspirational.
Very Phenomenal. You can say that again and again!
Folake’s way of portraying Nigeria proudly is why I followed her on Facebook. I like personality ❤️
She is amazing.❤❤❤❤
Folake Olowofoyeku!!!!! Keep repping the culture mama!
We are proud of you Folake. Thanks for promoting your friend's restaurant.
She has a beautiful energy about her
Welldone Jennifer Hudson, Folake keep representing Naija out there, we are proud of you.
She looks like a Wakanda Forever star for sure. Africans are so mesmerizing.
So confident lady, glad to see African diaspora doing great
She sooo cute, confident, most beautiful smile I've seen... and gosh, she speaks sooo well. She should totally have her own show!
Speaks well because she doesn’t have her native accent? But the European language ? Y’all are so so lost till it’s sad…
@@Bantuqueen01do not be a hater, she sounds exactly how she should sound, and what's wrong with having an accent if you have lived in a country for a long time?
Yes she is!
@@Bantuqueen01you’re reading too much into the comment. That someone is well spoken has nothing to do with having an accent. There are Americans with an American accent who don’t speak well. It’s a gift that some people just have.
Love my Nigerian 🇳🇬 sister! Love the show!!!
Naija 4 Life!!!! Her and I wear the same shoe size. I'm glad she said who makes hers.
Thank u for inviting my Naija sister, Folake. We love u. Ftom Abuja, Nigeria
She murdered the name😂😂😂😂, but we love her dearly. And thank you Folake, you are making us proud. Please can yiu teach your tv mom how to correctly say ' ekale' she sounds like Bob when she says it!!
Yes being in America is great. Being an American is a honor, her show is great loved that cast!
She is STUNNING!! Her hair is perfection and I'm about to take that to my stylist 😍
She is so articulate...proudly Nigerian!
That’s the first question everyone asks “what age did you move here?”
😂😂 classic 🇳🇬
Wondered if she intentionally avoided answering the question directly or she just forgot to give a answer 😂
@@o.t9358 I assure you, she avoided the question
Proudly Nigerian🇳🇬❤.One love
Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬 ... Proudly Yoruba
The advert for that new restaurant opening was epic on the show ❤.
Notice how different she looks in person in comparison to her character? Now thats acting, an acting actor wow🎉
I'm proud of you Folake. God bless you for being a patriotic and promoting your country Nigeria so much in spite of the negativities. ❤️❤️❤️
Her smile ❤ Jesus how blessed is she? I just love her.
So proud of you Folake....keep the Naija flag flying ❤.
Hey Jenny I have been watching your videos but never subscribed to your channel. But today because i see you promoting a Nigerian and our culture. I am subscribing write away and also bringing in more followers. You dont underestimate a Nigerian power. Hope you enjoyed our jollof rice?

I love Bob hearts Abishola! It’s such a funny show. And she’s beautiful!

Stunning
Jennifer just proved that when you get a plate of Nigerian Jollof rice, you won't set the plate down till it's empty. 😂
So she doesn’t have a Nigerian accent, wow, but she managed to do it on the show, impressive!
Trust me Nigerians in diaspora got 2 accent we can switch 😂
Proud to see one of our own on this show…. Yoruba to the world
God bless you for promoting Nigeria for good,thank God to know that we have good people that have integrity.
God bless Nigeria and will continue to promote your show iJN.
This is what other Africans in the Diaspora should be doing. Sell and showcase Africa in a positive light at any given opportunity. Thank you Jennifer and also our Nigerian sister though I'm Ghanaian
Yessss to the Naijas. We love you sister Fola❤❤❤❤
I adore her . She is so incredibly talented 🥰❤️
This is why I like RUclips's algorithm.
She has a lovely smile
She speaks very well. As a fellow Nigerian, I need to work on my oral fluency and linguistic gymnastics more! 😊
But why do y’all want to lose your native language and take on the European language? How sad..
@@Bantuqueen01she said fluency -
Foluke doesn’t sound American, when you hear her you would know she’s definitely Nigerian. Accent is different from being articulate and fluent.
But I assume you’re American so we would give you a pass. Knowledge and the quest to be better isn’t “y’all’s” strong suite
@@Gray_StudytubeComrade calm down 😅😅😅
Love love love this show! This show is so funny but does so much more than make me laugh. Congrats to Folake and the entire cast and staff for giving us Bob♥️Abishola.
She’s an incredibly down to earth beautiful soul. A true asset to Nigeria and fantastic actress
Proudly 🇳🇬🇺🇸
