Many Nigerians who took to social media to express their anger at the article, questioned the choice of words used by the headline writer and wondered how the media organisation got to know that the subject of the story was the first
female Nigerian mechanic.
They equally vehemently berated the news organisation for suggesting that all Nigerian women were prostitutes.

Al-Jazeera messed up big time, what survey dis they conduct that made them ascertain that that woman is the first female mechanic? Secondly, generalisation of Nigerian women being prostitutes is totally unacceptable.
This caption is offensive @AlJazeera @AJEnglish . Horrible Horrible Horrible twitter.com/AJEnglish/stat …
Very insulting. @AJEnglish got it wrong, this time. We are sad and disappointed. @AlJazeera twitter.com/amkmusty/statu …
@AJEnglish We have women who are Hardworking entrepreneurs, Pilots, Doctors etc and you're here saying Prostitution, that's an insult.
@AJEnglish I am a woman, I am a lawyer, I am Nigerian and I am not a prostitute.
@AJEnglish You should apologize for this editorial not sure you can write this in any arab nation and get away with it.
@AJEnglish Wat kind of headline is this? I have been here twice but ladies don't look like their alternative is prostitution. TAKE IT DOWN.
education only makes a religious bigot worse. education arms him with more knowledge to fortify his brew of bigotry.
@AJEnglish you guys need to fire the half-witted reporter that wrote this stereotypical headline. Its offensive to say the least.
