A Nigerian nurse, @nurse_ugbede, who faced intense criticism for stating that Lagos smells, has secured an international job and relocated from Nigeria. The nurse had taken to Twitter to express her frustrations with the smell in Lagos, stating that everything in the city, from the people to the streets and gutters, smells.
Her tweet read: “This Lagos is a smelly city. People smell, the streets smell, and the gutters smell, the water smells, everything is smelly, I’m tired!”
The tweet sparked a heated debate, with many Nigerians defending their city and criticizing the nurse for her comments. However, one Twitter user, Cross, who works abroad, offered to help the nurse secure a job in another country if she lost her job due to the backlash.
Cross tweeted: “Hi @nurse_ugbede, trust you are having a beautiful morning. So one of my Oga asked me to reach out to you. Just in case anything happens to your job, and you are willing to work in another country, kindly notify. Will share an email address you can forward your CV to too.”
The nurse has now announced that she has secured the international job and has relocated from Nigeria. She shared her testimony on Twitter, stating that she was homeless and squatting with a friend in Lagos just last year. She also recalled loaning money to pay rent.
She wrote: “I got the job guys! Just remembered that by this time last year, I was homeless, in Lagos! Squatting with friend and loaning money to raise rent. One year later, got my big girl job and big girl pay. I wondered when it would happen, but when it’s your turn, God will part the ocean !!!”
