A Nigerian woman has shared details of the difficult conditions she allegedly endured during her nine years working as a domestic worker in Egypt.
In a video circulating online, the woman recounted her experiences while describing what she said was a prolonged period of hardship, mistreatment and deprivation during her time abroad.
According to her, she travelled to Egypt in search of employment and spent years working as a housemaid for an Egyptian family.
She alleged that she was subjected to harsh treatment and was sometimes denied basic comforts within the household where she worked.
The woman claimed that she regularly slept on her employer’s dog bed because she did not have access to a proper sleeping space.
“I usually sleep on my employer’s dog bed,” she reportedly said while recounting her experience.
She also described the emotional strain of spending several years away from home under circumstances she said were difficult to endure.
Her account has sparked reactions online, with many users expressing concern over the treatment of migrant domestic workers and the vulnerability of Nigerians seeking employment opportunities abroad.
The woman’s story has also renewed conversations about the importance of verifying overseas employment arrangements, understanding workers’ rights and ensuring that domestic workers have access to safe and dignified working conditions.
While her account has attracted significant attention online, the allegations remain her personal account of events and have not been independently verified.
