Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had shared online the romantic texthis cleaner, an older lady, sent him.

While stating that he was confused, Toba said he thought he was helping her by providing a job, extra pay and not complaining when foodstuffs, as well as other edibles, go missing in the kitchen after her cleaning.

He blamed himself for the text, stating that being nice can be stupid in most cases. In the text, the smitten house cleaner said she cannot continue to die in silence as her love for him is troubling her mind.

The older woman said she loved everything about him and that he should find a place in his mind to place her.
