A wave of sorrow swept across social media after a deeply emotional video of veteran Nollywood actress and producer, Jumoke George, surfaced online. In the video, the respected Yoruba film icon broke down in uncontrollable tears, revealing her current battle with homelessness, poor health, and the heartbreak of her missing child. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Shared via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the video captures a rare, raw moment as the actress pours out her pain. With trembling voice and teary eyes, Jumoke pleads for help from women around the world, stating that she’s overwhelmed and has reached a breaking point.

“Please pray for me, I’ve never destroyed anyone’s life. I’m just tired… I have no home, no belongings, and my child is missing,” she cried out in the video.

She went on to say she’s battling with her health, adding, “I’m not well,” among other heartbreaking confessions.

The post quickly caught the attention of the online community, triggering an outpouring of emotion from fans and netizens who flooded the comment section with prayers, concern, and disbelief.

Here are a few reactions from concerned Nigerians:

@thefashygram: “Is this real? I feel terrible for her. She’s a fantastic actress. I her from the Yoruba films my mom always made me watch.”

@AjibolaFaisol01: “Feels like a Nollywood scene, but I hope it’s not. If it’s real, this is heartbreaking.”

@AbimbolahOlaibi: “Where are all the big names now? We throw lavish weddings, but ignore those in need. We lack love and empathy in this country.”

@Ayomide531909: “You people enjoy offline and bring pain online for attention? Be real, mama.”

@graphicalsoccer: “This is sad 😢. I always thought she was financially stable and acted for fun. May God help her.”

@DjL0ngmann: “Forgive me, but this woman always plays sad roles. Now it’s like her reality mirrors her scripts. Maybe a happier role could help shift her spirit.”

@sheyi_omotayo: “She attends a church on my street in Agbado. We assumed she was doing well. It hurts to now realize she’s suffering in silence.”

@NgoziPreshy: “No wonder she’s been off the screen. She’s carrying too much pain. God, please send her help.”

This distressing situation sheds light on the silent battles faced by some of Nollywood’s most seasoned stars. While their faces once lit up our screens, many now struggle behind closed doors, forgotten by an industry they helped build.

As fans rally online with prayers and calls for , many are also questioning how a woman who gave so much to Nigerian entertainment could be left to suffer in silence.

Let’s hope this cry for help sparks a wave of action—and that Jumoke George finds healing, peace, and the she so clearly deserves.

Where is the Church where she contributed her time and probably money all these years?

God please Thier faithfulness, and grant her help from above, and all those suffering in silence, please comfort them,and heal Thier sorrows, Amen

Jehovah is your strength

Her trauma is missing her child. This kind of pain does not go away.

This country is scary.

Church is ur problem, if you are not senseless you would have read that, it's church that accommodates her currently while she is homeless.

Keep it up with church and not focus on your life, church has been in existence before you are born, wen you would have long forgotten, church would still be existing, so, make sure you armed yourself very well, for serious fight you want to engage with the church ok.

Is thag to say na miserable people full Abia ?!

Typical response from the Ronu guys

If not for this T-pain's govt, many of us wouldn't know how insensitive and heartless many of the guys from SW are!

May God send help to her o

God help our actors & actresses IJN 🙏

U said it all. It's better to know the child is dead than missing. It never goes away, u wake up every morning hoping. Everyday u keep wishing. It's painful.

The renewed shege is really dealing with Nigerians. The heroin man could not spare even the elderly in the movie industry.

Nigerians is time to revolt

I feel for her pain

Develop the habit of diversity when life is shining her lights on you

This they occur for this life. You just gotta thank God for your life.

Even that worked for government are suffering not to talk of you self employed

May help locate her

WHY?
why are you homeless?

Hmmmmmm, I doubt people watched the video.
She was on Biola's platform last year or so, the video was ed where she actually mentioned little of what she is going through, but she pleaded that it be pulled down.
She is having health challenges coupled with her daughter that travelled to Libya, she used all her fund and sold her belongings to fund her treatment, so she has nothing again for now, she has been leaving in church premises since Jan.
She couldn't take it anymore, so she had to send a voice note to Biola to come to her aide.
Hopefully her daughter is still alive, God will bring her home, I think that is the major cause of her medical condition, as she said it has to do with the brain and heart

Fake life doesn't pay. Cry for help if you need one, don't hide your true status

She had two interviews with Afod n Biola painting a perfect picture few months ago
