Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a Nigerian lady, Romoke Adunbarin, took to social media to talk about her life working as a cleaner.
In a Twitter post on Friday, April 30, the lady said when a colleague asked her why she likes sharing photos of herself in a cleaner's uniform, she replied that "it doesn't matter..."
Tweeps took to her comment section to praise her for being true and not living a fake social media life as many do.
Speaking with Briefly News, the lady said being a cleaner was never the plan, adding that it became necessary as a way to get out of poverty and make something good for herself.
She said growing up, her options at getting the best opportunity were limited.
