Doctor shares why he left Nigeria
In a story he shared on X, Dr Baridueh stated that his overall boss in Abuja sacked him to give his girlfriend his role.
After a manager’s efforts to help failed, the doctor eventually came across an Afrikka Kommt fellowship program sponsored by the German president and other industries in a class WhatsApp group.

Dr Baridueh said he took the opportunity seriously and was eventually picked for the fellowship program.
“…I was very desperate to leave the country. It was an intern role. But I wanted to leave by all means. I applied for the program and qualified as one of the 47 fellows out of 5600 applications from 45 African countries…” he wrote.

While waiting to hear back from the fellowship, Dr Baridueh said another NGO made him an offer but he resolved not to be swayed.
On August 1, 2019, he eventually left Nigeria and shared what became of his erstwhile overall boss and the girlfriend who took his job.
“Guess what? My flight to Germany was on August 1, 2019, and the US Government closed the NGO office in PH in July. That my oga’s girlfriend lost her job and was jobless for years. I hear that my oga is still jumping from one program to the other in Nigeria, while I am vibrating on a global scale.
