jumoke orisaguna family

Olajumoke Orisaguna’s inspirational story is one of Nigeria’s biggest internet driven success story ever.Her new found fame has brought happiness into her family.



In a recent chat with Oluwole Ige of Saturday Tribune, Jumoke’s mother and mother in-law talked about her life before the fame and their reactions after her sudden fame and good fortune.

Mrs Ramota Kamorudeen – Mother (Sells Vegetables)

On how she receive the news of Jumoke’s sudden fame 

I was very happy when I heard. It is a thing of joy that my daughter has become an important person in life. I have always known that only God has the power to change a person’s status from nothing to something. She called me the day the good thing happened and explained everything to me. She told me about how she was discovered by the lady called T. Y. Bello. I was so excited. I danced vigorously to appreciate God for ‘remembering’ my daughter. She has not come back to Iree since that remarkable thing happened to her but we have been communicating on the telephone. We speak on the phone at least six times a day.

On Jumoke leaving home for Lagos

I beseeched God to open the door of opportunities for her, let her make it and let anything she laid her hands on in Lagos turn to gold. I prayed God to make her meet somebody who would help her. Those were my prayers and I thank God that He has answered them.

What’s next?

I want her to settle down first. I will go and meet her in Lagos later. She told me that they would soon travel.


Mrs Janet Orisaguna – Mother In-Law

On how she receive the news of Jumoke’s sudden fame 

She is my son’s wife but I treat her as my own daughter. I felt very happy when I heard the good news. This is a thing of joy for me and Jumoke’s parents. For us in the Orisagunna family, we see it as a big success. Jumoke and her husband, my son, should continue to pray and thank God and realise that it is God who has brought them this far in life.
