Well-known Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Jumoke George, has made a heartfelt plea for prayers from the public.
In a recent viral video, she opened up about her struggles with illness and homelessness.
During the clip, she was seen in tears, emotionally recounting her challenging experiences.
In her poignant message, she expressed: “I’m requesting your prayers, I have never wished harm upon anyone. I’m exhausted; I can no longer endure this. I have no home, no possessions, and my child is unaccounted for.”
She added, “My health is in decline,” alongside other moving comments.
As the message spread online, many individuals shared their thoughts and offered support in the comments section.
Here are some of the reactions:
@thefashygram: “Is this genuine? I genuinely feel for her because she is a talented actress. My mother used to insist I watch Yoruba films, and that’s how I recognized her.”
@AjibolaFaisol01: “It seems like Nollywood drama.”
@AbimbolahOlaibi: “Where are the affluent ones now? They spent lavishly on weddings while those in need suffer. Nigeria lacks compassion for one another but uplifts the wealthy, giving them only the label of ‘rich’ — and what of that?”
@Ayomide531909: “You all set up cameras to showcase joy when you’re celebrating yet call upon others online? Play your roles, mama.”
@graphicalsoccer: “This is disheartening, I always viewed her as someone well-off who acted for enjoyment. I hope divine intervention finds her.”
@DjL0ngmann: “Forgive me, but this lady always appears sad, both in films and real life. She needs a change in her roles to portray a joyful and prosperous character.”
@sheyi_omotayo: “I believe she’s telling the truth. The church on my street in Agbado, the way she walks sometimes gives the impression of wealth, not knowing she has been unwell. People don’t realize she’s battling so much.”
@NgoziPreshy: “Oh wow! It makes sense now why we haven’t seen her on screen. The weight of her burdens is immense. I pray that God grants her mercy and sends helpers.”
