I have been homeless for 6 years, Nollywood actress Jumoke George cries out

Veteran Nollywood actress Jumoke George has spoken up about her present condition, saying she’s been homeless for six years.

Jumoke revealed this in an interview on Tuesday with Talk to B where she stated that she had been homeless for the past six years.

The actress revealed that she had been battling with her health and her accommodation.

“There are some things that are embarrassing to say but at this point, I have no choice. I want to speak out. I am working but it’s not like I get jobs every time. Sometimes, it could be once in three to four months. That was before I became ill. After I became ill, I couldn’t go for a set I was invited to. Someone paid me since last year, I didn’t know I would get sick, I spent the money on treatment. I had to borrow money to refund the person,” Jumoke said.

She also stated that her condition had left her feeling helpless with no financial source or support.

“I went to another location but I couldn’t work. They had to bring me back because of my health. I’ve done several tests. I was told to do some more which will cost about N400,000. I don’t know where to get the money from. The house rent became high and I couldn’t afford it anymore. The landlord told me to leave, I begged but what can I do?”

When asked where she had been staying, she revealed that she had been staying in the church premises where the interview took place.

“So, I’ve been living in the church for about six years. This is where I put my mattress to sleep,” she said, pointing at a space on the floor inside the church. It’s mummy church that gives me food to eat most times. Daddy died about two years ago, mummy church has also been trying. She buys drug for me and boils herbs for me. I’ve been living in the church. I couldn’t speak up because it was shameful. I was embarrassed,” Jumoke stated.

Jumoke also revealed that her first child has been missing for four years, while pleading with Nigerians to pray for her.

“My first child, Adeola, has been missing. I’ve been looking for her for the past four years. Any small money I get from working was spent on looking for her. Then one day she called me with a strange number, I had no idea where she was calling from, she said I should forgive her. I asked to know where she was, she said I should just forgive her that she doesn’t know where her journey will lead her to. Please pray for me, mothers in this world. Help me with your prayers. I need prayers. I have never ruined anyone’s life. I am tired, I can no longer bare it. No house, nothing, and a whole child is missing. Pain is not good. Please people pray for me,” Jumoke pleaded.
