One would think her lack of adequate education and inability to communicate fluently in English language would hold her down, but she was able to hold the ace and anchor the programme for a year before it was rested.

The fairy tale rise-to-fame of Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly called Jumoke the bread seller, in 2016 inspired millions of Nigerians, captured the interest of international media and served as a prayer point for many who desired such overnight transformation and distinct favour.

Olajumoke, the bread seller is a Nigerian model-turned-motivational speaker, who received public attention while hawking bread on Olonode Street, Yaba, Lagos.

Jumoke unknowingly walked into a photo shoot session of British rapper, Tinie Tempah, by Nigerian photographer, TY Bello.

Unconfirmed reports had it that things however took a downturn for the model after she started having problems with the father of her children, Sunday Orisagunna who was said to be frustrated because it was becoming increasingly difficult to live with the woman he had known for more than four years. He alleged that she became rude after fame and fortune found her. Her once robust modeling career also suffered some hitches. Rumor had it that despite the efforts put into her modeling career, she was often compensated with peanuts as her then manager; Victoria Nkong took the lion share.

Now, many people are worried and concerned about her whereabouts as she has simply vanished from the public space. The mother of two also abandoned all her social media handles. Her last update on them was in 2019, except for her face book page which was updated in 2020. According to a reliable source, her absence from the entertainment scene may not be unconnected to the fact that she no longer makes the kind of money she was making as Nigerians typically do not waste time before moving on to the next big thing.

The husband allegedly lamented that he helps her babysit and takes care of the children, when the going was smooth and rosy and that despite her coming home late at night he still endures and understands with her.

Sunday also reportedly complained that he is often kept out of the loop of Olajumoke’s activities.

Sources said that Sunday complained that life has been incredibly tough, and that help is farther from him because many people assume that Olajumoke has made it big, and that automatically he’s also rich, but that things are not actually what people think they are.

It was gathered that as against the promise of Sujimoto that Olajumoke would be given an accommodation in Lekki area of Lagos, she was given a house in Yaba area of the state and that the apartment was even below the expected standard.

Olajumoke at a point in time spoke of her desire to have a home of her own before the existing rent expires in a year and half and to establish a haircare business by the start of 2020, but this seems to have gone with the wind as it was gathered that the lady has no means of renewing the rent unless a miracle happens before then.
