Every Nigerian prays to have a better life than what obtains and look forward to the time when owning their houses, exotic cars and being able to travel the world at a moment’s notice becomes their reality.
All that and more is exactly what a bread seller simply going about her business has seen added to her life, to the awe of every person in Nigeria and beyond.

Last year, Thenetng did a case study chronicling the story of Olajumoke Orisaguna, the bread hawker who unwittingly became the world’s most talked about accidental model.
A year after, it remains true that for a country with severe drought of verifiable overnight success stories, the Olajumoke story strikes a chord with millions of Nigerians for whom a rescue from their various unpleasant situations is a present and continuous dream.
Today at Thenetng, we’re hosting Olajumoke at our new studios to celebrate her unique story.
As an organisation, we hold dear the ideal that nothing is impossible and our celebration of her today is reflective of our commitment to further elevating the best of Nigeria’s rising stars.
