The Sowetan, a South African newspaper has covered the rise of Olajumoke Orisaguna to prominence after photobombing the set of a celebrity photographer, TY Bello.

The mother of two enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame and comfort from the dirty streets of Lagos State where she was hawking loaves of bread.

The Osun State native has been in South Africa since last week where she is currently holidaying and attending high profile entertainment events.

See a screenshot of the newspaper report below as the term "Dirt Poor" got us wondering...

Olajumoke later reacted to the report with this post below;

At least they didn't say "piss poor" Smh. There are many words in the dictionary to mean broke, impoverished, etc & their target market knows what that word means. You're insulted by it perhaps because it's not a word you hear or use very often due to limited vocabulary or whatever. IDK. Personally, I see nothing wrong with their choice of word. It's a word to mean she was down & out before her sudden change of fortune. Simple. Nothing derogatory about it.

wow

I don't know much about Jummy, but I love her attitude. Just look at how she controlled the situation - I know of other celebrities who would have ranted about the paper choice of words. #JummyIsBae

His grace lifts beyond human comprehension!

A case of time and chance.

There are several more beautiful and better cultured breadsellers who will never have the "OlajumokeBreak".

Keep working passionately. Never give up on help from above while at it. Keep praying!

I love to pray.....

In a simple statement "she is humble"

That was her past.

Let her story inspired the lazy poor dirty south Africans that believe the on way out of their misery is to send all other nationality back to their countries.

Go girl

South Africa no get joy at all for Nigeria. That headline na finishing Even Jumoke still dey prove say e no mean She was rescued from poverty but not from illiteracy. She needs to go to school. Education is key.

She is a fine and clean girl na. Even when she was still selling bread. And also, its not all poor girls that are dirt sef. Like if u agree, share if you don't.

.

It doesn't matter the adjectives they use to qualify her past, the latest story is that God favoured her when she wasn't 'qualified' by men.

May that be your story as you humble yourself before God in all your endeavours.

Yeparipa

I guess dey are inmidated by her sudden success and rise,well lagoon gate fee is free or better still dey can find solace in sniper

That's an insult against our own dear Olajumoke.
