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

Nigerian domestic worker Emmanuella Omah, 20, claims her Egyptian sponsor demanded N2.4 million to free her from her job in Cairo. Omah, who left Nigeria in May 2025, says she worked for over 15 Egyptian employers in the past 12 months, all of whom mistreated her with physical and verbal abuse. She has paid N2.6 million in total and still owes N2.4 million to her latest employer.

Omah, who suffered from an ulcer due to poor nutrition, says her last employer beat her after she fell from a ladder while cleaning chandeliers. She is now calling on Nigerians and agencies to help her return to Nigeria.
