Story & photos of Kristin Douglas’ visit to Nigeria

Remember Kristin Douglas? She was the nurse whose photo (taken with Beyonce at a funeral) literarily broke the internet in March, after it was posted on Instagram by her sister, Kelsi Leggett, without Kristin’s knowledge. Well, Kristin Douglas was in Nigeria a few days back for what she had thought would be a quiet, ‘private visit’, but which turned otherwise.



According to sources, the nurse and mother of two wanted to visit Africa as part of her fact-finding efforts to help raise awareness for the plight of the needy, across the world. Though Kristin Douglas had initially planned to visit either Kenya or South Africa, some of her old friends and new-found acquaintances on the internet, who are Nigerians, not only prevailed on her to visit Nigeria first but also actively supported her tour and ended up turning it into a ‘not-so-private visit’ after all.


Places she visited during her tour  included Modupe Cole Memorial Child Care and Treatment Home, Akoka, Yaba and Hearts of Gold Hospice, Surulere, both in Lagos. It was said that Kristin Douglas donated food items and personal care products to the physically and mentally challenged in both places. She also visited the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Games Village, Abuja where with the help of Dr. (Mrs.) Shade Samuel of Helping Hands Foundation, she got first-hand information about the plight of IDPs and made donations which were appreciated by inhabitants of the camp.

Not yet done, Kristin Douglas went to Keffi, Nassarawa State, arriving at night at the premises of Dr. Simon Agwale’s Innovative Biotech Limted, which has a multipurpose vaccine plant, where nanosilver mineral solution which boosts immunity is also produced. It is on record that Dr. Agwale has been in the forefront of research for the cure of HIV and Ebola in Africa and the world.
Kristin’s visit to Nigeria was not without some fun and social activities, though. In Lagos, she was hosted by friends, at Club Quilox in Victoria Island. In Abuja, she worshiped at Apostle Yemi Adefarasin’s Kingdom Lifeline Apostolic Ministries (KLAM) and was treated to a dinner by the management of Transcorp Hilton Abuja.

According to a source close to Inventrica Multimedia, the African division of Inventrica LLC, USA which works with Kristin Douglas, “Kristin is all out not only to reach out to the needy, but also to tell the world to support the deprived, the displaced and the diseased (the three Ds)   -people, who are disadvantaged by circumstances of birth or physical, mental, natural, geographic challenges or acts of terrorism. This much she expressed during an interview on Cool FM radio in Lagos.”
