In his letter which he shared on social media, Mark said:
"Funke Akindele Bello!!
You have bellowed your name into the ears of Africa and now, woman’s international. You know, things like this makes me generally emotional and mushy. I mean, this is a stark case of grace, hard work and drive. When I saw the news that you are making an appearance in an Avengers movie, I was elated. For a while, I tried to sink that in."
"When you started the Jenifas diary, I had people who said that you are all about scattering good English and poisoning our generation with bad English. I laughed because they were mostly people that voted for Buhari. I mean, what else can come out from their brains except worm infested ideas and thoughts? I am happy that you are a source of pride for we Nigerians."
"You have done for us what Buhari and his gang haven’t done. Putting us on the map for a good reason. Wizkid and Davido have done theirs and are still doing theirs. Great day to be a Nigerian! Let’s keep working and ignore Buhari."
