Dr. Antoinette Lecky, also known as Anto Lecky, a former BBN star and medical doctor, is facing backlash for her critique of doctors leaving Nigeria in pursuit of better financial opportunities.
Her comments were made during an interview with The 77 Percent, a platform for African youth, where she expressed disapproval of the prevalent brain drain in Nigeria.
Anto emphasized that not everyone living abroad leads perfect lives, challenging the notion often portrayed on social media. She argued that doctors should have an inherent desire to help others rather than leaving their country solely for financial gain.
However, her perspective has sparked disagreement among many Netizens, who criticized her stance.

@onyebebe noted: “The fact that her parents left Nigeria for a better life, the fact she has a US passport, the fact she schooled in the US, got exposed to good infrastructure but thinks people shouldn’t move to get the same things for themselves and kids is a problem to me too”
@tosin_olaluwoye stated: “I just even remember that some places where I worked as a doctor in Nigeria are still owing me salary after TEN YEARS. A whole decade. Again, if any doctor let people like this influence them, na you I blame o. 🙄”
@Merald__Ayomi wrote: “Antolecky just be using phonetic to talk rubbish lol.”
@Bhheast added: “This sums up the problem with Nigerians, and black people in general. The inability to think beyond themselves.”
