Today, 6th of March, 2017, marks one year since Olajumoke Orisaguna became a star after her encounter with ace photographer, TY Bello and Tinnie Tempah, a UK-based rapper during a photoshoot in Yaba, Lagos, a couple of years ago (read here).
Olajumoke, a bread-seller and married mother of two was going about her business when she photobombed the shoot. From that moment, Olajumoke became an Internet sensation and she started basking in the euphoria of massive commercial endorsements.
With a grateful heart, the super star took to her Instagram page to thank everybody who has been a part of her success story.
She wrote:
”I woke up this morning feeling very emotional, it’s been one year already since God used aunty TY to turn my story around, it’s been one year since all of you accepted me,gave me a chance & celebrated me like I was born to be part of this system.
I look back to January 1st 2016 & realise where my life was & what my priorities were, but January 2017 was different for my family & I. It is still like a dream to me at times and I can only say THANK YOU JESUS & THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS PROCESS: my supporters, colleagues, fans,critics, my role models: God bless you all & grant your heart desires.
I will continue working on myself & try not to disappoint all those that believe in me. Please bear with my mistakes & inadequacies & keep praying for me. There are nights when my husband & I wake up to pray for you all without knowing you & we end up in tears… We appreciate you & we love you all.
