Actress Lola Alao has recounted how an assault by a patient forced her to quit her job as a caregiver in Canada.
Lola said this in a recent interview with fellow actor Kunle Afod in which she added that the incident made her quit her job and open a clothing business.
The Yoruba movie star further urged people to have a skill before relocating abroad.
“I always advise people looking to relocate to learn a skill like fashion designing, hairdressing or cooking. Because when I first came to Canada I had to learn a course to become a caretaker. So I went to the school for a year and once while caring for an elderly one, she slapped me.
“I had bathed and clothed her, she had dementia, and then she complained about her earring. So when I went to check on her to see what was wrong, she gave me a hard slap and I began to cry. The nurses around came to us after hearing the commotion and that was the day I decided that I wasn’t doing that anymore.
“Then I decided to open a boutique and my lounge, LA lounge, in two places but I later left the store and started selling from house but now I plan on getting a new store for my boutique,” she said.
Lola was an air hostess before delving into acting with the bow rested TV series Ripples.
Since then she has starred in several movies including Alaanu Mi, Dokita Alabere’m, Ewe Koko and Gbokogboko.
