She jokingly said ‘You people tried to kill me several times’ while delivering her farewell speech after being directed to return to France following the completion of her assignment in Nigeria.
Blatmann disclosed to journalists on Thursday that she is returning home to take up a new role as the director for Africa in Paris.
The diplomat recounted how she eats spicy foods that make her eyes red and teary. She noted that it is a bit manageable in the northern region but the south-west almost ‘killed her with pepper soup.’
Speaking ahead of her departure, the ambassador, however, said she would miss the country’s weather, people, music, and other food aside from pepper soup.
