@teddi_speaks cares less about how small Mrs. Bello’s role is in the movie, he is just proud of her;
Even if Funke Akindele’s scene/screen appearance is 0.3174 seconds in the movie.
WE WOULD STILL BE PROUD OF HER!!!

This uncle Kampari is just funny, though he got the movie wrong;
Nigerians gotta show out en masse for Black Panther.
We gotta be in there screaming “omo re bii custard! You’re not a baaaastard!” every time Funke Akindele comes on screen. #BlackPantherMovie
