Prisca Eziefule Ulu, a Nigerian nurse residing in the United Kingdom, posted on Facebook on 14 October 2026 to recount a disturbing episode in which an unnamed individual urged her mother‑in‑law to prevent her husband from bringing her to Europe. The person claimed that nurses typically desert their husbands and are even expelled from homes once they arrive abroad.
She explained that the same individual pretended to celebrate her visa approval while covertly spreading negative opinions about her, attempting to sway her husband’s decision. "Every October during our anniversary, I remember how someone went to tell my mother‑in‑law not to allow my husband bring me to Europe," Prisca wrote, adding that the back‑biting auntie’s own marriage lasted less than two years.
Prisca emphasized that she and her husband have enjoyed more than a decade of peaceful life in Europe, contrasting sharply with the short‑lived marriage of the person who tried to undermine them. She said she blocked the person after receiving a friend request, suspecting they now monitor her through a fake account.
**What was the alleged motive?**
The accuser allegedly sought to discourage Prisca’s relocation by exploiting stereotypes about Nigerian nurses abroad, hoping to create doubt in her husband’s mind.
**How did Prisca respond?**
She publicly shared the incident on social media, blocked the individual, and warned others of the potential for hidden hostility within extended families.
**What does this reveal about diaspora challenges?**
The episode highlights how misinformation and familial pressure can affect Nigerians living overseas, especially professionals such as nurses who may face unfounded stigma.
