Jemima Osunde revealed that during a shoot in Ibadan, she ate food provided on set, which led to her contracting Helicobacter pylori
This is a bacteria known to infect the stomach lining and cause various gastrointestinal issues.

Reflecting on the incident, Jemima Osunde expressed deep regret.
She wrote: “I’ve never regretted anything as much as taking that job and trusting their care during the shoot in Ibadan. The contaminated set food gave me H. pylori, and the resulting GERD has left me fighting for my life for the past three years.”
