My sponsor demanding N2.4m to free me from Egypt– Nigerian lady

Nigerian domestic worker Emmanuella Omah is demanding N2.4 million from her sponsor to leave her job in Egypt. Omah has worked for more than 15 Egyptian employers in the past 12 months, all of which she says mistreated her. She alleges that her final employer physically assaulted her and deprived her of food. Omah, who left Nigeria in May 2025 to seek better opportunities for her family, claims she has paid N2.6 million in total, leaving only N2.4 million owed.

Her parents are deeply concerned about her situation, having contacted the employer to try and secure a more favorable arrangement.
