”Where is Olajumoke Orisaguna the Bread-Seller-Turned-Model?” Asks Charles Novia
In a Facebook post, Nollywood producer, Charles Novia, questioned the unusual silence of the the bread seller Olajumoke Orisaguna who became a social media rave overnight on social media after she was discovered by celebrity photographer, TY Bello.
See what he wrote….
“We don’t hear anymore about the Bread Seller turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna,” Novia said on his Facebook yesterday. “I wrote at the beginning of the media frenzy over her that she was just the flavour of the moment for a public looking for sweet distraction from realities in the polity and that she would be discarded by that same public and media once the curiosities wane. It’s happening now, innit?”
Olajumoke’s story kept social media busy for many months, until she slinked away from public eye. However, in May, the mother of two resurfaced on social media to confirm that she dumped Few Models, the agency that first signed her on after her breaking story stunned the world, for Beth Model Africa.
Also, Olajumoke confirmed she was set to launch her foundation, the “Olajumoke Orisaguna foundation”. This came after she reportedly gave out N200,000 to some 40 breadsellers.
Now, there are worries that the media profited from her story and now has dumped her since the frenzy is over.
Her Instagram page was last updated six weeks ago.
“I thought about her two days ago and even did a social media random check. They no longer update her social media sef!,” Facebook user Ngozi Okafor said yesterday, and another, Dino Cee, said:
“The whole thing looks like a staged managed conspiracy drama but if it really was a true story then I think the girl should be blamed for not advancing herself using the opportunity she got from that overnight fame, I mean that she should have used that opportunity to push herself into the Nollywood or try by any means to release a music album so as to remain relevant in the public circle, modeling is a career that you are only relevant when you are sought-after and it is very difficult for deals to come by all the time but in the Nollywood at least she can always get something with that quick fame even if it is a sub or extras if her charges are moderate, in the music she can always make herself an album anytime she wants more especially this days that lyrics has no meaning but rhythms to Nigerians.”
My sister asked me this same question 3 days ago looooool.
Without the basic education, she will have issues fitting in anywhere especially if there is no one to speak on her behalf. There’s a boldness and confidence that comes with education. Whatever the case, she now has a roof over her head(that’s if it wasn’t rented). She is hard working and will hustle to fend for her family
hmmmmnnn.thats true.whats up with her
I believe there’s no cause for worry. The plan was to have Olajumoke back in school…this should rather be confirmed than peddling rumours about her continued relevance. She sure has the guts and wits to be successful, just some finese needed by way of education and she’d be there.
Hmmmmmm…..so true or maybe she has gone back to school
