A know. just wanted to be sure. But why are those people that wicked? Na only them?

The puppeteers of this world are very wicked and cruel. Avoid them like a plague and the best way to do this, is to have a dream and pursue that dream zealously and independently.

They have involved this edet family, the real story was not told. I know they will end up in prison for the help they wanted to render to the poor Inuk.

I pity him tho, but if they investigate well they would find out that some of his family members were the ones who sold him out and has been collecting the money as well.

They didn't put the man in slavery for 24years ,it was the man that allowed himself to be a slave for 24years. If he had ran away nothing would have happened,but fear of the unknown made him to be a slave for so long. Fear is the chains that ties one down to failure .

He was a teenager!

if I were the judge , he would get half their wealth.

Having heard only one side of the story?

[quote author=Billyonaire post=33515286]Many of us on this forum, are acting as if this is a strange issue, but most of us know a neighbor, a relative, a friend, an enemy or just someone with a house-help that is not paid, all in the name of being a relative, that is housed, used, abused, and in the name of doing their family favor while keeping the servant and time is ticking. Most Igbo people have people they call "BOY" that serves "Master" with the hope that he/she will be "settled" after certain years, MOST of these people are NEVER settled, they are never paid, in many occasions if they cry to be "settled" they are hammered with theft allegations and threatened with police arrests. These cases are everywhere. The Edets in this story is just one of the many unheard stories of what we now call slavery but has been and remains a common practice of so-called rich relatives who house poor relatives on the presumption that the family wants them to help train. These practices MUST be stopped

TRUE TALK!

Wickedness of the highest order

It is only them, sadly it happens everywhere.

Not sure about Nigeria but there are daily cases of maids being abused in Singapore, Malaysia and the UAE.

millionaireman:


But to be fair to the Edet couple, that Inuk boy/man is a real compound mugu. How could he have stayed all those 24 years without escaping?

Na original mumu no doubt

He was a teenager!

he wasn't a teenager for 24years. He was taken to uk at the age of 14, by the time he was 25 years old his brain should have started working . They can't hold him down ,he is younger but he CHOSE WILLINGLY TO STAY WITH THEM, he wasn't chained ,he wasn't locked up in a room , but he CHOSE TO TALK WHEN HE GOT TO 38 yrs old. The fault is all his.

otiigba1:
true talk! and yorubas do this too not just the igbos, the practice must stop!

Shut up there!!

Which yorubas?!

It's a well known fact that this master and boy thing is peculiar to only Ibos and they are NEVER settled.

For the yorubas, they PAY for their ward to learn the skill as an apprentice. Ask around.

It's also a known fact that yoruba elite do not joke with education. If the agreement is to send the ward to school, they will do it.

Ezenwammadu:
This is maltreating of a houseboy by his master

^^^Please don't be silly! You're over-simplifying the whole thing! Those bastards are pure evil!

It's a 'african Nigerian thing' to be honest! We know how to be purely wicked towards househelps and other non-related dependents living with us....it gives us a false sense of superiority and god-like status!
