Lady shares photos of dirty kitchen of Benin big boy that chased her out
Meanwhile, it was previously reported that a Nigerian lady had shared photos of the dirty kitchen of a Benin big boy that made her leave.
According to her, the man said his house is dirty because his cleaner has not come around for days.
When the lady named Uju asked him if he cannot clean his house by himself, the man replied her:
"That's why I need you in my life."
The lady said she only cleaned the part of the kitchen she wanted to use, prepared some food for herself, ate, saw some movies, added to the dirty dishes, and left.
