- Lola Alao has spoken on leaving her famous life behind in Nigeria to search for greener pastures in Canada.
- The Ale Ariwo movie star opened up while speaking with her colleague, Kunle Afod in a recent interview.
- Lola Alao said a humiliating incident in the hands of a patient made her reconsider the role of a caregiver.
Nigerian film actress, Lola Alao has recounted a humiliating experience she suffered after she relocated to Canada.
The movie star said a dementia patient assaulted her, prompting her to quit her caregiver job immediately.
In a recent interview with fellow actor Kunle Afod, she discussed dropping her career and moving from Nigeria to Canada.
The actress revealed that while she had no regrets about her decision, she wished she had learned a trade before relocating.
Lola Alao recounted an incident where a patient suffering from dementia called for her and then slapped her when she approached.
This encounter made her realize that the caregiver role isn’t suitable for her, prompting her to resign from the position with immediate effect.
In her words:
“I always advise people looking to relocate to learn a skill or a trade because when I first came to Canada I had to learn a course to become a caretaker. So I went to the school for a full year and one day during my time caring for the elderly one of the patients slapped me… a very hot slap!”
“I had bathed her and clothed for this dementia patient and she started to complain about her earring. So when I went to check on her to see what was wrong, she gave me a hard slap and I began to cry. The nurses around came to us after hearing the commotion and that was the day I decided that I wasn’t doing that anymore.”
