Nurse Gold Ugbede gains viral attention after criticizing Lagos cleanliness, leading to a tribalism controversy instigated by Yoruba influencer Bayo. In response, an anonymous Samaritan offers to help Ugbede relocate abroad for her nursing career.
A nurse, Gold Ugbede, has found herself at the center of a viral controversy after expressing dissatisfaction with the cleanliness in Lagos. Ugbede, who was mistakenly assumed to be Igbo, sparked a backlash from Yoruba tribalism influencer Bayo, who called for her employment to be terminated and even suggested she be deported to her state of origin.
The situation quickly escalated, gaining widespread attention. Amid the controversy, an anonymous Samaritan stepped forward, offering to help Ugbede relocate to Europe or the U.S. to continue her career as a nurse. The offer was facilitated through an intermediary Cross, who confirmed that Ugbede has now been connected to the generous helper.
Despite the positive turn for Ugbede, Bayo and his supporters remain determined, planning to march to her workplace at a government medical center in Ibeju Lekki to further pursue their agenda.
This incident highlights the power of social media, where tribalism and bigotry can quickly escalate into real-world consequences, while also demonstrating the potential for positive outcomes when the community rallies in support of individuals caught in such controversies.
