I Have Never Ruined Anyone’s Life, But My Problems Keep Increasing – Jumoke George

Veteran Nollywood actress, Jumoke George, has come out to urge Nigerians to come to her rescue during her trying time. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she needs mothers all over Nigeria to say a prayer on her behalf because she can no longer bear the pain of having no home while her child is also nowhere to be found.

Jumoke added that her health is bad at the moment, and despite seeking the face of God as a true Christian, her problems keep growing.

Her words, “Please mothers pray for me, mothers in the world please help me with your prayers. I have never ruined anyone. I am tired, I can no longer bear it. I don’t have a home, I don’t have anything and my child is missing.

I don’t have good health. I am exhausted. I have tried as a Christian. My first born Adeola has been missing for the past four years. I have been sick since January 2.

I have done several tests, what is remaining is brain and heart test and it is N400,000, I don’t know where to find it. I don’t sleep, I am always in pain. I don’t have a house, I’ve been living in the church for the past 5 to 6 years. My church mommy is the one who feeds me sometimes.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
