Olajumoke Orisaguna has vanished from social media, and this has gotten a lot of people talking.
Yesterday, top filmmaker, Charles Novia,
took to his Facebook page to point out the oddity in the model’s
disappearances from media, a fear he had earlier expressed after
corporations fought over each other to hype the former bread seller.
“We don’t hear anymore about the Bread Seller turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna,” Novia said on his Facebook yesterday.
“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?”
Olajumoke’s story kept social media busy for many months, until she slicked away from public eye. However, in May, the mother of two
resurfaced on social media to confirm that she dumped Few Models, the
agency that first signed her on after her breaking story stunned the
world, for Beth Model Africa.
Also, Olajumoke confirmed she
was set to launch her foundation, the “Olajumoke Orisaguna foundation”.
This came after she reportedly gave out N200,000 to some 40
breadsellers.
Now, there are worries that the media profited from her story and now has dumped her since the frenzy is over.
Her Instagram page was last updated six weeks ago.
“I thought about her two days ago and even did a social media random
check. They no longer update her social media sef!,” Facebook user Ngozi
Okafor said yesterday, and another, Dino Cee, said:
“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.”
