Nollywood actress Jumoke George has emotionally revealed the depth of her recent struggles during a heartfelt appearance on Biola Bayo's podcast, where she expressed profound gratitude to the supporters who rescued her from despair.
Emotional Display of Gratitude
In a moving video recording from the podcast session, George was seen rolling on the floor in tears, kneeling and pouring out her appreciation to those who came to her aid. The actress, who had previously made a public cry for help, revealed that the support she received has completely transformed her circumstances.
She confirmed that she is now a homeowner and car owner thanks to the generosity of those who responded to her plea. The actress also shared the uplifting news that she has returned to school and is ready to resume her acting career, appealing to directors and colleagues for work opportunities.
Revealing the Depth of Her Struggle
George opened up about the severity of her situation before help arrived. She disclosed that during her most difficult moments, she reached out to colleague Biodun Okeowo, who immediately sent her N30,000 for food. At another point, her desperation led her to visit fellow actor Afeez Owo's house simply to get a meal.
Perhaps most shockingly, George revealed that her immediate sister is married to Nigeria's Minister of Power, yet she had been abandoned by her family for 14 years because she refused to engage in inappropriate relationships. The emotional toll became so severe that she contemplated taking her own life.
Medical Intervention and Recovery
The actress shared that her mental health deteriorated to the point where she required hospitalization at LASUTH (Lagos State University Teaching Hospital). Medical professionals informed her that she had reached her breaking point and faced the real possibility of either losing her sanity or giving up completely.
Thankfully, the situation turned around when her initial cry for help went viral, leading to her daughter being found and the beginning of her recovery journey. George's story serves as a powerful testament to the importance of mental health awareness and community support in the entertainment industry.
Fans have flooded social media with supportive messages, celebrating her recovery and renewed appearance. Comments highlight her improved health and beauty, with many noting her radiant transformation and offering continued prayers for her success and wellbeing.
