Teni Reveals Why She Was Fired From Two Nanny Jobs

 

Teni Reveals How She Lost Two Nanny Jobs After Claiming She Could Cook

Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has amused fans after revealing that she once lost two nanny jobs within a few days, with her cooking skills becoming the unexpected reason behind one of the dismissals.

The singer shared the experience during an interview on Queen’s Mic, explaining that she worked as a nanny on two occasions but did not last a full week in either job.

According to Teni, shyness contributed to her struggles. However, the situation took a more embarrassing turn during her second job after she claimed she could cook on her application.

How One CV Claim Cost Her a Job

Teni explained that her second employer was a doctor whose husband was Nigerian. During the application process, she listed cooking among her abilities and mentioned meals she believed she could prepare.

The problem started when her employer actually asked her to cook.

Teni admitted that she had not expected to demonstrate the skill, and her attempt reportedly ended badly when the food got burnt. The following day, she received a message telling her not to return to work.

The singer recalled the experience with humour, making it clear that her brief career as a nanny did not go as planned.

From Nanny Wahala to Superstar Life

Teni’s story is a reminder that even celebrities have experienced awkward moments before finding success. Today, she is known for her energetic personality, humorous storytelling and hit songs, but her account shows that her journey included ordinary challenges too.

Her willingness to laugh at herself is part of what makes the story entertaining. Rather than presenting a perfect past, she shared an experience in which she made a mistake and had to face the consequences.

Na Small CV Lie Turn Big Wahala

Make we talk true: sometimes person go wan impress employer so much that e go write things for CV wey e never really sabi do.

For Teni’s case, she claim say she fit cook, but when the opportunity come to prove am, the food no cooperate. Before she know wetin dey happen, the job don finish.

The lesson no be say person must know everything before applying for work. Na to be honest about wetin you fit do and wetin you still need to learn. If you no sabi cook, no shame to talk am. You fit even get the chance to learn if you tell the truth from the beginning.

Plenty young Nigerians dey face pressure to get jobs, earn money and prove themselves. But as Teni’s experience show, exaggerating your skills fit put you for a difficult position when employer expects you to deliver.

A Humble Beginning Behind the Fame

Teni has built a strong place for herself in Nigerian music through songs such as Case, Uyo Meyo and Billionaire. Her comic personality has also helped her connect with fans who enjoy hearing stories from her personal life.

Her nanny confession offers another glimpse into her life before music fame. It also shows how an experience that may have been frustrating at the time can become a funny story years later.

Although the incident was embarrassing, Teni’s willingness to share it has turned it into a relatable lesson about work, honesty and learning from mistakes.
