<h1>Nigerians on Twitter had a go at Funke Akindele and her husband JJC Skillz for throwing a house party during the government-ordered lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus.&nbsp;</h1>

<p>Funke and Skillz hosted friends to a house party on Saturday, April 4, 2020, to celebrate the birthday of the Nigerian rapper.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is not known if the veteran actress and her husband flouted Lagos State Government’s order of not having more than 25 people in a single gathering with the party which had the likes of<strong> Naira Marley </strong>and <strong>Eniola Badmus</strong> in attendance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several video clips have been seen from the party on social media and Twitter Nigeria wasn't here for it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As at the time of this writing, ‘Funke Akindele’ is the number trend on Twitter Nigeria as she was on the receiving end of heavy criticism.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“<em>What Funke Akindele and the husband did was highly irresponsible, I expected both of them to know better,</em>” a Twitter user<strong> @OlisaOsega</strong> wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To many people’s disappointment also, Funke was one of the celebrities who were used by the <strong>Nigeria Centre for Disease Control</strong> (NCDC)- the agency responsible to curb the spread of the coronavirus- to sensitise people on how to stay safe from coronavirus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is not the first time the 42-year-old has been connected with going against the government’s guidelines concerning the spread of the coronavirus.</p>

<p>Sometime in March, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/eniola-badmus-reacts-after-getting-dragged-for-not-isolating-herself-after-trip-to/cswj0ef">she hosted fellow actress Badmus</a> who just returned from a trip to the United Kingdom and refused to self-isolate as stipulated by government’s guidelines for anyone returning from a coronavirus-hit country.&nbsp;</p>
