In a deeply moving act of compassion, beloved Nigerian actress Abiola Ayomide Adebayo has gifted veteran Nollywood star Jumoke George a brand-new 4-bedroom duplex and a sport utility vehicle (SUV)—a gesture that has touched hearts across the country.
The announcement came via Abiola Bayo’s official Facebook page, where she shared the emotional milestone with her followers:
Today, we present a 4-bedroom duplex and an SUV to @jumoke_george. Thank you to everyone who made this dream a reality. I’m grateful.”
The gift follows a heartbreaking revelation that stunned many in the Nollywood community: despite a career spanning decades, Jumoke George had been living in a church building, quietly enduring years of homelessness and financial hardship.
Jumoke, known for her powerful performances in both Yoruba and English-language films, has long been a respected figure in Nigeria’s film industry. Her emotional story of resilience, persevering through personal challenges while continuing to contribute to Nollywood has sparked widespread discussion about the welfare of veteran entertainers.
Abiola Bayo’s generous gesture is more than just a gift; it’s a statement. It’s a recognition of a trailblazer who, despite life’s trials, never stopped giving her all to her craft. And it’s a call to action, urging the industry and society to better care for the legends who paved the way.
The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans, colleagues, and the broader public have flooded social media with praise for Abiola’s kindness, calling it both inspirational and long overdue.
While this moment marks a new chapter for Jumoke George, it also casts a spotlight on the power of solidarity in Nollywood, a reminder that while hardship may last for a night, joy can still come in the morning.
