Woman quits job to become a cook

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Itoro Effiong-Bright had an interesting story about how she moved into the telecoms industry, first as a 9mobile staff before landing a lucrative job at Africa's largest telecoms operator, MTN.

Itoro revealed she was combining cooking with her job at 9Mobile and later, MTN, which leaves her tired as she heads to work on the days she would be on duty.

Ibomsoup, as her outfit is called, which is named after the tribe in Nigeria reputed to have the most culinary skills in the country, is now becoming a household name.
