Complaint was probably filed by another bad-belly Nigerian. That's the way they live in Texas -(pull him down attitude). Who on earth will believe these in the USA? Food is probably the cheapest thing in US that even American rats are well-fed. If they stopped her from using hot water, did they seal the tap with a lock when they go out? I knew a story like this where a lady did everything to come to USA. after one year on arrival her relative who wanted her to move in with him promising her a better life but was resisted by her hosts filed criminal complaint against her host alleging unprintable things.

One lesson I must teach people: call me any name if you like; If you want peace of mind, keep Nigerians without a legal visa at arms length when they come abroad...don't rent your room to them, not even as extended visitors. Nigerians are generally kind and happy people, but very few terribly bad ones can cause chaos and turn your life into misery. forget about the 'church' they carry on their head...na for mouth

Until we hear the side of the couple, don't judge.

There is no need for stupid "gentleman's" agreements. To stay out of trouble pay them minimum wage at least and make sure there is a signed employment contract with clear hours of work. If you cannot afford it don't delve into it . No need forming unnecessary Bigman. If you have to employ 2 or 3 etc as the case may be so be it. The only reason people run into trouble is because they try to do things they cannot really afford on the cheap. The only justification for bringing in people from Nigeria is to teach your children Nigerian languages,apart from that you can employ people wherever you are and do thorough background checks and monitoring.They don't have to live with you. They can come in and do x number of hours y days a week on specific tasks. If you can't afford it don't break the law.Simples.

Minimum labor isn't mandatory, nobody forced or coerced her into accepting labor. All these allegations is just to make the victim look sympathetic. The family haven't told their own side of the story, and granted to agreed to pay her $100/month which I don't agree with, the option was hers and she made the decision. However, on the part of kidnapping, that's just unnecessary extra charge added on.

I know there are two sides to every story. Remember the State Attorney's office in Texas must have investigated the house help's complaint prior to any arrests. They will not arrest unless they absolutely believe they can prove that the law has been broken. I know Nigerians. Our people can atimes be heartless. The general notion is this: we assisted in bringing her to the US. She should be content with whatever we provide. Her life in the US is better off than what she had in Nigeria. By the way, she has no valid papers. Be best believe it, a crime was committed here by this couple. You don't have to travel to Nigeria to find people who can legally assist with household chores. Those that venture, try to cut corners. If you employ anyone in your home, you must play by the rules. There are no cutting corners when it comes to the violation of the rights of a vulnerable person. The complainant here will qualify as one because she is an illegal immigrant.

Human beings always want to bite the finger that Fed them..
I remember how my mum took some relatives from the Villa who could not even say a word in English to School while helping with domestic needs...They were loyal and grateful until after about 2years when they knew their route and had gathered enough resource..immediately , thet started acting like they were doing us a favor, rented a room apartment and started feeling like they've arrived...
My mum just ignored them and before we cud say Jack, dey started dropping out of Sch.

Their younger ones keep calling me like they wanna stay with me I just keep them for cooler.
I prefer using outsiders and pay them monthly to ppl I know..
Those you know most times end up biting u.

Seconded.

This Nigerian are very ungrateful. I know sometimes Nannys are maltreated but this story is just bullshit.

The nanny saw the couple's way of life and wanted it for herself and drummed up this story.

This is kerosene user's mentality. There is no need for all this so called gratitude and nonsense talk of fingers that fed.
If you employ someone to do a job pay hem a fair wage. All this so called "help" that desires people to worship another for life is hypocrisy. Every person was born the same way and no one is superior to another . But something within our psyche has this need to dominate and be worshipped.
Of what relevance is it that your relatives could not speak English . You say they started feeling like they arrived . So you don't want them to "ARRIVE" you want them to never forget that they were brought from the village.Did your mum not come from the same village . If they are your relatives why feel superior? Because your folk left village first. Ask this question .

Who is the father of Obasanjo ,IBB<Nwakwo Kanu etc.

In almost all cases when people take so called relatives abroad they wish to exploit them. Expecting them to work 7 days a week with sketchy terms Because they paid for tickets and Visa and are always bitter when these people outperform them.They will never let them forget they once "could not speak English".

What I find amazing with all of this is it is this same folk who are the most active in church.

adorablepepple:
how did they treat Nigerians badly,can you read at all? Olodo .

First and foremost, I blame the lady Cause she knew What she was getting herself into, but because of the fairy-tale stories she has been hearing about obodo oyinbo and how she would make quick money, she couldn't think twice. People should just know that life in abroad is overrated. Many fall victim because they are desperate.
Many Nigerians are not their brother keepers anymore ,they treat eachother like strangers. This was what made that bank manager die abroad, after being maltreated and threatened by a fellow Nigerian who she was working for. Those couple can rot in hell,I don't care. Infact, they should transfer them to Naija prison they should join their brother kanu
