Denrele Edun
Popular Nigeria media personality, Denrele Edun, has said his sister, who is a teacher, was sacked from work for being related to him.
This follows earlier reports of him saying he once dated a man because women had nothing to offer him.
Dailypost reported on Wednesday that the 40-year-old man alleged that his sister was sacked by the Nigerian school over fears of losing their students if their parents found out that one of their teachers was related to him.
“My sister recently lost her job because her employer found out she’s related to me.
“This happened in a primary school. The head teacher called her to relieve her of her job with the reason that if parents find out that Denrele is her brother they will withdraw their wards from the school and this is something they cannot risk.
“When she called me to tell me, I was saddened. Her knowledge, skills and competencies were not in question.
“I felt so bad knowing that my name would ruin things for her and so, sometimes she denies knowing me,” he said.
