A nurse who gained widespread attention two months ago for calling Lagos a smelly place has successfully relocated abroad. This comes after her tweet caused backlash, threatening her job at a Lagos hospital.

The controversy started on November 10, 2024, when she posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Lagos is a smelly place. Her comment sparked outrage, with some Lagos residents tagging the state governor. They criticized the hospital for hiring a “foreigner” over locals, especially someone who made negative remarks about the state.

Feeling the heat from the backlash, the nurse returned to X to issue an apology. She also revealed that the uproar had put her job on shaky ground.




Amid the chaos, an X user contacted the nurse and offered to help her secure a new job abroad.

Two months later, that promise came through, and the nurse is now settled in her new position overseas. The same X user recently congratulated her on her relocation.




This incident highlights how social media can affect careers but also how it can open unexpected doors.
