It’s Wednesday again and today we will be crushing on the beautiful Jemima Osunde!!!
She is a Nigerian actress, model, and presenter with a degree in physiotherapy from the college of medicine, University of Lagos.
She gained exposure after playing Leila on the television series Shuga, appearing in the fourth series. She was however written out for a year when the show moved to South Africa for its fifth series, she then returned for the sixth series when it came back to Nigeria.
In 2018, Jemima starred alongside Linda Ejiofor on the second series of Ndani TV’s Rumour Has It, and her career trajectory has risen since then, where she has graced the screens with her talent and skills in major film productions.
The young and trendy actress is known for her seemingly flawless talent, which we have witnessed in several movies and TV series, some of which includes,
- Shuga,
- My Wife & I,
- Jungle Jewel,
- Isoken, Lionheart,
- The Delivery Boy,
- The Johnsons,
- New Money,
- This Is It,
- Rumour Has It,
- Quam’s Money (a follow-up to the 2018 film),
- Papa Benji, amongst others.
As an epitome of young and getting it, she has recorded great achievements in two career paths that may appear to be contrasting, as she has managed to strike a balance and emerge as a successful entertainer and a medical practitioner.
Jemima is also all about girl power and lives every day doing all the things she loves and wants to do, hoping she can inspire other young women to do the same. According to her, she is for every woman, young and not so young, light or dark skinned, tall or short.
Definitely a fan favourite, and on this note, here are 5 things we probably did not know about Jemima.
1. She is not in any known relationship yet.
2. She absolutely adores Nollywood star, Genevieve Nnaji.
3. She was nominated for AMAA Best Actress in a leading role in 2018.
4. She is the last born and only female child in her family.
5. She once revealed she had a crush on singer Adekunle Gold.
Here are just a few of the many reasons why we love our petite-looking, beautiful, talented, Jemima.
