Jumoke George’s Daughter Was Stranded In Mali For Many Years – Biola Bayo

Nollywood actress, Biola Bayo has come out to announce that Jumoke George’s daughter, Adeola, who had been missing for four years, has finally been found.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, Adeola is alive and well, and even though she is yet to speak to her mother after several years, it is good news that she is no longer missing.

Biola added that Jumoke’s daughter misplaced her phone and became stranded in Mali amid the conflict between their military and Boko Haram terrorists.

Her words, “UPDATE! Adeola has been spotted in Mali. Though she hasn’t spoken with her mom yet, please tell her to call her. She’s currently in the hospital, but she will be happy to speak with her at least. I’ve tried calling her, but she has not been picking up anyone’s calls, and her mom is really worried.

I finally got to speak with Adeola and this is what she said. She hasn’t called her mom but mom is happy she’s alive. @jumoke_george is currently at a state hospital in Lagos, hopefully she’ll be discharged or admitted after all her medical tests and reports, not sure yet.

Thank you to everyone for the support….The love has been massive. I’m indeed grateful to you all🙏🙏🙏”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
