I Got a Cold Shoulder from a Fellow Nigerian Woman in the UK
A Nigerian woman, Lisa Kay, shares how a fellow Nigerian nurse in the UK treated her with cold disdain when she fell ill. She tried to make small talk by asking if they were from the same state, but the nurse refused to answer and gave her a dismissive look. Lisa admits she felt more hurt by the unfriendly reaction than by her hospital visit itself. She contrasts this with Nigerian men in the UK, whom she finds friendlier and more welcoming than some women. Her story highlights divisions within the Nigerian diaspora and raises questions about why some women abroad seem unwilling to connect with their own community.
