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%
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".
Go on girl. Keep changing narratives and making Nigerians proud all over the world.
She is just lovely. Her height, her skin, her hair, and that smile! Wonderfully beautiful lady
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.
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.
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!’ 😂
😅😅😅
@@oma7698 hahahahaha spot on!
😂😂😂😂
Proudly Nigerian too. Loving Folake's show. Loving Jennifer's show. You go ladies!!!
Shout out to Folake Olowofoyeku all the way from Nasarawa State, Nigeria. I loved her Character in the Show.
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. 💖
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
So proud of you Folake for being real and maintaining your Nigerian accent. Luv you! Love you Jennifer Hudson!
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!❤️
🇳🇬 🇳🇬🇳🇬👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Love my Nigerian 🇳🇬 sister! Love the show!!!
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
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 🇸🇱 ✌️♥️
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!
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😅
So confident lady, glad to see African diaspora doing great
Folake Olowofoyeku!!!!! Keep repping the culture mama!
Nigerian Love!!! This Igbo loves the Yoruba!!!
We don't need ur tribal BS here. Just say Nigerian. Period!
This Yoruba loves the Igbo.... and Nigerian...
@@interestingthingstoknow8975 Another dummy!
@@Obalufon Whats wrong with that..
@@Obalufon ,😂😂
Couldn't be more proud about a beautiful and confident Nigerian lady putting Nigeria on the global scene. Naija no dey carry last. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
You're simply amazing Jennifer,shout out to Folake my Nigerian Sister
I love Bob hearts Abishola! It’s such a funny show. And she’s beautiful!
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.
She's stunning. Naija pride
I love her accent!❤
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.
She is STUNNING!! Her hair is perfection and I'm about to take that to my stylist 😍
I love the fact that she is true to her Nigerian identity. Love loads.❤
She is so articulate...proudly Nigerian!
I love to see my fellow Nigerian making waves ❤️
This was an amazing watch… I am Nigerian and I love the show BOB ❤️ ABISOLA… and having her sit and talk with Jenifer is pleasant sight for my eyes 😍😍😍😍😍
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. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm African American, but I fell in love with this show when i found it on TH-cam 2 weeks ago. Hilarious!
What part of Africa are you from ??
Proudly Nigerian🇳🇬❤.One love
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
Folake is so real and I just love her🥰
You Go JHUD for hosting and giving an African lady your Platform 👏🏾👏🏾
From Jamaica. I love J Hudson , I would sit for hours and watch ur show, I just love ur golden voice of urs. Oh, u can sing, girl.
Yuh know!
She's beautiful, I love her vibe.
Proudly Nigeria! We represent everywhere! Naija 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 to the! 🌎
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 😅😅😅
YAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS. United we STAND foreverahh whether home or abroad ❤❤❤
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?
Nigerian here too...subscribing.... Naija force...
Jennifer just proved that when you get a plate of Nigerian Jollof rice, you won't set the plate down till it's empty. 😂
Lovely interview! First time seeing or hearing about Folake....she's gorgeous, articulate and comfortable in her own skin!
She’s flippin GORGEOUS!!!💕💕💕. And I’m a proud alum of CCNY!!! And yes, that hill!!!
Ok 😂

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!!

She’s an incredibly down to earth beautiful soul. A true asset to Nigeria and fantastic actress
Her voice is fabulous!

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
Jennifer didn't get to ask Folake about her love of the saxaphone. I love to hear her play. It could have been a treat
I love aunty Folake..mehn so phenomenal
Yes! Two of my favorite people having good convo. I'm so glad this video came across my feed. I with you both the best on your shows and in life itself. God Bless You Both🙂💖
So proud!
Folake is gorgeous!
Theyre gorgeous 😍
Daaaaamn! When did J-Hud turn 41? And still looks 28?😐😮😍🏆🏆🏆🏆
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
Watching this show while eating jollof rice💅💅
Its always great ro see to beautiful black women having a blast ❤
Notice how different she looks in person in comparison to her character? Now thats acting, an acting actor wow🎉
I wish Jennifer Hudson could explore more about Folake's Nigeria heritage in this interview, which she obviously doesn't know much about (like what jollof rice is). It is fine to be clueless about another part of the world, I am also. But she should take advantage of her platform to educate us about another culture.
I love this episode. Their interaction is sweet ❤
This is one of my and my husband's favorite shows! Love love Abishola
I'm trying her friend's restaurant this week. Food looks good
I love This My Naija Star , Jennifer Thanks for inviting her to your Show, she is an inspiration. God bless you both.❤❤
She’s so stunning
Love this! More grace to your elbow 🙏
A proud NIGERIAN!!!
🤮
Folake rocks !!!
