I won't be a cleaner forever
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian lady with the handle @DatGirlAdun talked about her life working as a cleaner on social media.
In a 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..."
She went on to say that doing otherwise will not make people who do not like her change their opinions, adding that though she is a cleaner now, her position will not remain so forever.
