I'm a house girl..

Well, that's what they call me; But my name is Ayo. But in my life, there is no joy. Although there is no joy, I have to smile and act like all is well.

My Oga forgets my name most times. When I hear him shout... Omo yii da? I know he's looking for me to do one work or the other. Work! work!! work!!! is all I do.
I have no life.
I am just a house help.
My madam cannot do without me, the only thing I don't do is bathe her. I have been loyal to her but she treats me like a rag and if I dare look at her husband's face when I greet him, she thinks I want to snatch him.

Madam's children are treated like princesses and I am like a slave for these children, although they are same age as me. They wear pretty clothes and I have no choice but to wait for the clothes to become rags, before they will dash me to wear.

Gate man and driver think I am their automatic entitlement just because I am a house girl. Why do people think that house helps will sleep with driver or gateman?

Just because I am a house help does not mean I have no respect for myself. Life has not been kind to me, misfortune has followed me from the day I was born; If I had a choice in life I would never choose the life that I have.

Everyone treats me less than a human but I have no right to complain. People call me different names, so I am the only one that knows who I really am.

House helps are seen as witches, thieves, husband snatchers, gateman's girlfriend, driver's girls, slaves etc. But God knows who I am.

This house can't function without me yet no one respects me. I am the first to rise in the morning and the last to go to bed but no one ever asks how I'm coping; Life is cruel I must say and I hate to wake another day. Before you treat me the way you do, remember I have feelings just like you.

Please share this post if you are against the mistreatment of house helps, who are mistreated daily, beaten, raped and even killed...

They may have no voice but we can speak up for them by sharing this post.

The untold tales of househelps

shevon:
Na wah o. And our own help left with the excuse that since we moved from PHC to Lagos we have not been giving her as much work as we do in PHC, all she does all day is eat and sleep.

Seriously!!! she left for not having anything to do? and all she does is eat and sleep? so you are telling us that YOU WASH HER DISHES while she lived for free its very obvious why she left. this write-up is referring to people like you exactly!!!

Lol... If only you know what I'm capable of. She's the least of all the problem my wife and I had.
When she says we don't give her work to do, she meant, unlike when we were in PHC (she's from Rivers by the way and ours was her first time outside her village in Elele), she does the house chores and also goes to the market too; I guess that afforded her time to meet her people. But since we moved (and this was her first time ever outside Rivers State) we didn't want any wahala till she got to know the 'Lagos' way, so we restricted her to only house chores of which when she was done cleaning the house (which includes the dishes like you'd want the world to believe I did for her) she has nothing else to do. My kids are grown and my wife hasn't gotten a job here in Lagos, so she (my wife) pretty much takes care of the kids.
So, don't be quick to pass comments about "people like you" when you don't really know them.

true2home:
Sorry for suggesting that your treated her unfairly. I guess you are one of the few that appreciated your help. And your analysis of her village market and encounter with her family explains why she will want to return to PHC. Remain cool and accept my apology.

true2home:
I did not say that ooo...lol

obontaami:
I'll only be of help to a house help if only she can help me in putting my dick in her mouth and suck it good. Mind you, you must be well endowed in the ass department!

Thank you.

I hope I will be good to my " house help" if I am to have one. There is no justification for treating a fellow human being like a nobody
