In the video, Jumoke revealed that her first son, Adeola, who turned 41 this May, has been missing for over four years.

A heartbreaking video has surfaced online showing veteran Nollywood actress, Jumoke George, weeping as she opens up about her harrowing life struggles including homelessness for over five years, a missing 41-year-old son, severe health issues, and crippling debt.

The emotional footage, shared by fellow actress Abiola Ayomide Adebayo, captures the once-celebrated actress pleading for prayers and support from Nigerians, as she narrates a life that has taken a drastic turn from stardom to survival.

 “Dear Nigerians, please pray for me,” Jumoke George says through tears. “I have never ruined anyone’s life. I am tired, I can no longer bear it. I don’t have a home, I don’t have anything, and a child of mine is missing.”

In the video, Jumoke revealed that her first son, Adeola, who turned 41 this May, has been missing for over four years.

“My firstborn, Adeola, has been missing for the past four years. I have been sick since January 2nd. I have done several tests, and now I need to do tests on my brain and heart. It costs N400,000, and I don’t know where to get the money,” she said.

She further disclosed that she currently lives in a church and has no home of her own. According to her, she has been squatting in the church premises for about five to six years, relying on the church for both shelter and food.

“It is true. I don’t have a house. I have been living in the church for five to six years. Even most times, I am being fed by the church,” she added.

The veteran actress did not shy away from exposing the depth of her suffering. She invited anyone to inspect her phone records to confirm the series of debts she’s incurred over time.

“I don’t sleep, and I am always in pain. I am in debt. I want you to go through my phone and see the transactions. You’ll see I have a lot of debts,” she said.

Jumoke George was one of Nollywood’s early household names, known for her roles in Yoruba-language and English-speaking Nigerian films. Her case now mirrors the neglect and abandonment many veteran entertainers face in the country, despite once being adored by millions.

In one of her previous interviews that went viral in December 2024, the actress also shared a heart-wrenching account of her childhood experiences, divorce, and parental rejection.

Jumoke recounted how her stepmother mistreated her, forcing her to visit an herbalist’s house from a young age.

According to her, she was made to prepare food with charms intended to control her father.

Jumoke described being treated like a slave, emphasising that her experiences were painful.
