  • Olajumoke And Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy Have A Lot More In Common Than You’d Think

    Olajumoke And Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy Have A Lot More In Common Than You’d Think
    Like Olajumoke, many successful people of today didn’t have a rosy background but ended up with a miraculous breakthrough.

    She began her hustle in Iree, Osun state as a hairdresser. She later moved to Lagos and began selling bread to support her family.

    Just like Leicester City forward, Jamie Vardy. Although he didn’t sell bread, he also “started from the bottom”.

    When he was 16, Jamie tried to make his dreams as a footballer come true. He was rejected by Sheffield Wednesday because he was too small and wasn’t the kind of footballer they wanted.

    However, he joined Stockbridge Park where he was paid 30 pounds a week, and worked as a carbon factory worker just to make ends meet.

    Although he was earning roughly 850 pounds a week by the time he was signed to Leicester City, the team still didn’t stand a chance of winning the league by the time he joined.

    Jamie Vardy’s team survived relegation in 2015 and with his help, miraculously won the league.

    Just like how the God of Olajumoke came through for her only months after she came to Lagos…

    That photobomb brought Olajumoke endorsements, a luxury apartment and of course, money!

    Jamie is also cashing in roughly 80,000 pounds a week (as of early 2016) which is a lot considering where he came from.

    And just like Olajumoke…

    Vardy doesn’t joke with his family.

    They’re both awesome and inspiring! Carry on jare!

  • Everybody’s Searching For Olajumoke!

    Everybody’s Searching For Olajumoke!

    Right now, Olajumoke is the most famous person in Nigeria.

    If you don’t agree, you can argue with the internet.

    Since she was discovered, she has been getting a lot of endorsements and fronting a lot of campaigns.

    So it’s no wonder Nigerians (and the whole world) can’t stop talking about her.

    According to Google Nigeria, she is the most searched person in the country from January to March 2016.

    She ranks number 1 while David Bowie, Adekunle Gold, Arakangundu, Dede OneDay, Mark Angel Comedy, Alan Rickman, Ibinabo Fiberesima, Natalie Cole and Falz take the remaining 9 spots on the top ten list.

    The 27-year-old former breadseller turned model is certainly showing us that the odds are ever in her favour!

    She signed on to Few Model Agency, modelled for April by Kunbi, did her very first catwalk on the runway, appeared on the cover of This Day Style and an editorial for Style Mania Magazine. She is also the ambassador of Payporte and Shirley’s Confectionery. These are just a few of the many deals she’s gotten so far. She has also made it onto media platforms like CNN, Huffington post and Buzzfeed.

    Olajumoke is steady winning and we hope her market continues to flourish!

    So all those harbingers of doom, you can put your mind at ease. Jumoke isn’t going anywhere but higher!
  • Olajumoke Is Back To Selling Bread, Well Kinda

    Olajumoke Is Back To Selling Bread, Well Kinda
    Olajumoke is doing quite well for herself. Since stumbling her way into TY Bello’s photoshoot for Tinie Tempah.

    From doing her first photoshoot.

    To her first catwalk.

    To being the face of an online store.

    Just to mention a few.

    Now, she’s gone back to her roots!

    She’s back to where she started from — selling bread!

    Jumoke has been signed as the new face of Shirley’s Bakery and as usual, she’s slaying for the gods!

    Shirley’s Confectionery is boutique bakery and confectionery shop that offers pastries, baked goods, shawarma, etc.

    She’s looking super dope!

    Is she dripping swag goo or nah?

    Yasss! Slay mama!

    Keep doing your thing Olajumoke! But can Bimpe Onakoya come back and do her make up sha?!

  • What About Olajumoke’s Husband?

    What About Olajumoke’s Husband?
    Let’s start with a few questions. What is Olajumoke Orisaguna’s husband’s name? What is his job? If you were able to correctly answer these questions, then congratulations, you’re one of the few Nigerians that’s actually looking beneath the surface of Olajumoke’s success.
    For your information, his name is Sunday Orisaguna. He is an artisan and makes aluminium doors and windows. Olajumoke’s story has taken Nigeria and the world by storm and since she stumbled into Tinie Tempah’s photoshoot, it’s been all anyone can talk about.

    But have we paused to think about her husband? What is his role in all this? How can we make sure he isn’t left out of his wife’s success?

    But why can’t her husband take care of the home and kids, while Olajumoke makes the money??

    So far, it’s looking like he’s being left behind.

    Some think that TY Bello has done her best and isn’t obligated to do anymore than she has done already.

    Some say Olajumoke is proud.

    #Olajumoke’sHusbandMattersToo.

    Or we might be worrying over nothing.

    Praise Fowowe, a family life coach, shared a really thoughtful piece on Facebook which specifically talks about this.

    My thoughts today – Praise Fowowe The Husband of the Breadseller versus The Husband of the ModelI appreciate you…
    Posted by Praise Fowowe on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 He shared..”The Husband of the Breadseller versus The Husband of the Model: For the record, no story has been told of her marital relationship prior her stardom. The Yoruba speaking Olajumoke who was intellectually compatible with her husband left the house that fateful day. But, there is a new Jumoke now, one who has become a cynosure and the latest celeb in the nation.”
    He continued.. “What role would this play in her family life? May I state here that all the corporate giants that have suddenly rolled out their drums to beat a new dance for Jumoke, the beautiful bride, should also extend the same gestures to her husband so we do not end up with a celeb whose marriage may struggle in days to come.”

    These are some of his suggestions:

    – “The husband must be made to go through the same level of training Jumoke is exposed to. There is no point giving this man a modern wife when he may remain an ancient man. If Jumoke, the celebrity, is going to be an English speaking one, her husband must also become one.” – “Carefully manage the relationship between Jumoke, her husband and their extended family. This is Africa and we all know the implications.” – “Keep Jumoke close to TY Bello or Tara Fela-Durotoye; these are two women who have been able to match corporate success with domestic success. A scandal on our beautiful bride is a news we would not want to hear as all sorts of juicy offers will come her way. It takes a values driven person to resist some of the offers which may come from some quarters that I shall not mention here. Jumoke needs to be this values driven person; she needs to be groomed to be this person.

    QUESTION: If Olajumoke was a man, would anyone care about finding the spouse a job?
