The sudden disappearance of Olajumoke Orisaguna, the breadseller-turned
celebrity has created apprehension in the hearts of many Nigerians.
It seems like the celebrated bread seller turned model and celebrity
Olajumoke Orisaguna has vanished from social media. Alarm about her
sudden quietness was raised yesterday by top filmmaker, Charles Novia,
who expressed concern that she might have been used and dumped.
“We don’t hear anymore about the Bread Seller turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna,” Novia wrote.
“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?” he added.
The breadseller came to the spotlight after photo bombing a shoot by
popular photographer, TY Bello. Olajumoke's rise to prominence was
rapid. Stories about her circulated all over the country and beyond. She
was later signed by Beth Model Africa after her story became
international headlines.
But since confirming that she plans to launch her foundation, the
“Olajumoke Orisaguna foundation” after she reportedly gave out N200,000
to some 40 breadsellers, nothing has been heard of her again. Her social
media handles seem deserted as no recent activity forthcoming.
Some Nigerians have accused corporate agencies from benefiting from her
sudden fame and dumping her like a hot coal. Her Instagram page was last
updated six weeks ago.
Dino Cee a facebook user summed it up this way: “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.”
