I Was Ashamed and Didn't Want to Let Everyone Know That I Don't Have a House Where I Sleep – Jumoke George

Jumoke George, a veteran actress in the Nigerian film industry, has revealed the tremendous personal challenges she has been going through, including the fact that she has been dwelling without a home for the past six years.

She disclosed that her living conditions had reached such a point of difficulty that she had been had to seek sanctuary in a church, where she has spent the most of her days. The actress, who had previously enjoyed a great deal of fame, shared this information.

Over the course of many years, George concealed her troubles from the general public out of a sense of embarrassment and a fear of being judged. Her career and health had deteriorated to such a degree, but she was unwilling to accept it because she was a well-known character in the Nigerian film industry (Nollywood).

On the other hand, George revealed in a chat that was both open and emotional that she had no choice but to speak out because of the persistent health problems and the numerous financial difficulties she was experiencing.

Despite the fact that she had a history of landing sporadic jobs on film sets, she claimed that the compensation she received was not sufficient to support her. There were periods when she was fortunate enough to find work once every three months.

Because of the ever-increasing expense of living and the inability to obtain a stable income, it became hard to finance even the most fundamental necessities, such as paying for housing. Because George's rent was increased beyond her capacity to pay, she was forced to vacate the house that she had once considered to be her home.

Furthermore, the actress disclosed that her worsening health was a contributing factor to her difficulties. In light of the fact that George had been ill since the beginning of the year, she discovered that she was unable to continue working in the industry that had previously earned her recognition or to visit movie sites.

She stated, "I was embarrassed and didn't want to let everyone know that I don't have a house where I sleep. It was difficult for me to do so. Right now, however, I do not have a choice. Now is the time for me to make my voice heard since I am exhausted and aggravated. I used to get calls for jobs at movie locations, but the jobs aren't paying enough. It's true that I could find jobs at movie locations. It's not uncommon for me to only find work once every three months. However, because I have been sick, I am unable to travel to any areas at this time. I even have to take out loans in order to reimburse those individuals who have paid me for jobs. The rent at the house where I had been staying had been increased, and from that point on, I was unable to afford it."
