Her Fall
three years down the line, things are not as Sweet as expected and as it was when all the media and concentration were all over her in the life of the mother of two, obviously those accolades and attention got to her head and pride starts to set in, uncomfirmed reports has it that she’s struggling financially and economically and her relationship with her husband the Artisan Sunday Orisaguna, the lover for whom she has her two children is about to if not crumbled.
The husband lamented that she helps her babysit and take care of the kids when the going was smooth and rosy and despite her coming home late at night she still endures and understands with her, Sunday also complained that he is often kept out of the loop of Olajumoke’s activities. but presently at home now things are not easy. Sunday said life has been incredibly tough, and that help is farther from him because many people assume that Olajumoke has made it big, and that automatically he’s also rich, but things are not actually what people think they are.
Jumoke the bread seller who might have ridiculed her husband because she feels she’s not in her class anymore, should remember that she was in his house and married to him when the good luck came to her and gave her all the recognition she had some 4 years ago, but all has gotten to her head and it’s obvious she has completely forgotten her source.
Olajumoke at a point in time spoke of her desire to have a home of her own before the existing rent expires in a year and half and to establish a haircare business by the start of of 2020
