Olajumoke Orisaguna, the 27 year old bread hawker turned model is yet
to move into her three bedroom apartment.
“Olajumoke’s
house will soon be ready. The renovation is almost complete. They are
already at the final stage. The Orisagunas should be ready to move in
anytime from now.
“They just want a decent and presentable place for them, that is why it is taking this long.” a source told Encomium
The building is supposed to house the 27 year old mother of two
with her children (Grace, five, Precious, 16 months) and Sunday
Orisaguna, her aluminum windows and doors installer husband.
The apartment under renovation
was given to the Orisagunas courtesy of Sijimoto Construction boss,
Sijibomi Ogundele. The apartment comes fully furnished with five year
rent paid by the young philanthropist. According to TY Bello who discovered Olajumoke, she was a hairstylist
from Iree, Osun state, but wasn’t making enough money along with her
husband, Sunday, who is a sliding door installer to take care of their
two children.
A distant relative, who knew someone operating a bakery invited her
to Lagos to hawk bread. Olajumoke relocated to Lagos to give bread
hawking a try. She left behind her husband and five year old first
child. She lived in the bakery with other in-house workers and bread
sellers and made a profit of between N300 and N700 daily.
Jumoke’s story has inspired a lot of people and many have been
tapping into her kind of miracle, as it is a typical rags to riches tale
that sounds like a lie. She has been offered internship at Make Me
Salon and Sari Signatures a popular Lebanese owned salon in Victoria
Island, Lagos.
