How the hell do you know they didn't? You assume everything you read is true and think with your emotions. . . Gullible boy.
Dummy, Why would she claim they paid her 20 pounds a week if they paid her the normal amount paid to all babysitters there, of 50 pounds plus per day? Nobody does that, because there is no reason to. If your employer is paying you fairly, why would you lie and say they are paying you 5% of what they should pay you?

What did they "go through"? The only reason they took her there was so they could exploit her, and pay her peanuts. Babysitters in the U.K. charge a minimum of 50 pounds PER DAY. Those pigs must have calculated that if they bring their slave to London and pay her 20 pounds a week, she would serve them out of "gratitude", and they would save money on babysitting. They took her there out of sheer greed and wickedness. Surviving on 20 pounds a week in the UK is like asking someone in Nigeria to live on 500 naira a week. Can you do that?
It shows your ignorant of travelling and living abroad. She's being housed and fed free of charge. A small room in London cost more than £120 weekly rent. Many Nigerians living on their own are not even able to afford this. If you live in London you will understand Met police could be bias in this particular case.

Stop thinking with your emotions brother. Blackmail is real. There's always two sides to a story.

There might be other sides to the story but really this is not the first time of hearing about such cases, sometimes people do it to their blood relations, turn them into maids and will not even give them shishi, they will be claiming "afterall we brought u here and u sleep and eat under our roof". This is why people abscond from their relatives to find means of survival after their eyes don clear.

Come on Sharrap there. In the U.K. it matters ZERO if you are housed or fed by your employer. You MUST be paid for your labour. That is the law. The minimum wage is around 6 pounds an hour. A full day of work is around 50 pounds pay. And no, you can get a small room for around 60 pounds a week inclusive of gas, water, and electric bills.

Though I don't support the maltreatment of workers, but the househelp shouldn't act like an ingrate. There's always 2 sides to a story and her complaint leaves so much unanswered. Is it possible that 20 pounds is all she's being paid? Really? By those who took her abroad in the first place?

It takes a lot to take someone abroad and give the person a better life, she should appreciate that. It's not like she had it better in Nigeria, so why should she bite the fingers feeding her over minor dispute.

The hardworking couple went through the stress of bringing her from Nigeria to the UK to help them babysit and keep the home, if she has issues, she should have found a way to table her complaints in a sensible way.

Most of these so-called househelps end up becoming arrogant and disloyal when they start having "london friends".

Look at you say do they know how much it cost to bring someone to the UK.incredible statement from you.if she'd earning 40,000 as a local govt worker back in 2004 then she is nothing less than top senior officer. God the madness rush for traveling abroad.I have always been saying it look at how people treat their domestic staff or subordinate under them and you will understand why the African continent is a dark place .daughter of a pastor, very sad.

My brother inbthe UK when you do things, do it the normal and acceptable way. If they had opened a bank account theyvwouldbhave been able to defend themselves.

Do you know in that same UK a friend helped a fellow Nigerian with £2k on the very day his visa ll expire, he gave me £ 2k ( he met him on his way to work and told him that he ll be going back to Naija because he can't renew is visa and that day was the last day) My friend rushed to Barclays get £2k from his account, gave it to his friend and went to work.
The guy applied ,got his visa (residency)and after some month my friend asked for the money this guy denied.
They went to a police station and the police said since there is no evidence there is nothing they can do.
My friend no see £2k collect oooo.(mind you he got the 2k from over the counter and gave to his friend)
So if the Dr. had paid into an account she would have been able to defend herself

There is no better life in London than Nigeria. The weather stabs you in your chest, the food is awkward and no playmate to hobnob with. The only joy derived is the good infrastructure and opportunity to earn more money. Without money, to hell with infrastructure.

It is not out of kindness the doctor and wife brought the lady to UK. She is the easiest target to be used. She was house help to their parents with little or no paid and they felt they could continue the trend in London. An hourly pay for maids is 20 pounds. That is 200 pounds for 10 hour day and 1400 pounds a week. This couple intends to use and enfeeble the poor maid until she is not useful to herself and the society. So don't defend their wickedness

Whatever we wish anyone good / bad, we would reap out of it. This couple has gotten away with this since 2004.

Their chickens are coming home to roost now. Nothing ever stays hidden.

But the woman didn't get to UK today. If trully they wanted to help him as some pple are saying on here they would have find ways (legal) by which she can get her papers. Also, if she is a visitor,transfering the money to an account in Nigeria would have helped them out.
But come to think of it , if they transfer £20 - service charge the woman we be paid less than £20. smiley

I never called her an ingrate. I said she shouldn't be an ingrate. You should know that those who spent millions in taking her over there would most likely not just give her a mere 20 pounds. Some Nigerians go abroad and try to blackmail people so they can cash out big time.

People shouldn't jump into conclusion cos only God knows the truth.

how could they have spent millions in taking her out of Nigeria to the UK?
All they must have paid for is just her visa fee and her ticket

if its true she has been in the UK since 2004,babysitting till 2017,haba

I think your reasoning is very poor. You have already condemned the baby sitter as an ingrate.You feel that by taking her to london they have done a great favour for her.Are there not people who are better off in Nigeria than those over there in london? I think it is very important for us to think before typing trash.

You don't seem to know what you are saying.

20 pounds per week. Ontop of that...violence. How much is minimum wage? 6 pound ish per hour. Do you know how much she can make daily from shifts.

The doctor and her husband are well trained. Their children are being trained. They now brought someone from Nigeria and subjected her to such slavish terms. Shege!

Yeah it takes a lot. but both the husband and wife are soooooo greedy, haba !!! since 2004. 20 pounds a week?
But 40k in Nigeria as at 2004 was a fair pay and she would have gotten salary increment plus promotion by now. The couple might have enticed her with a juicy package in order to traffic her. They wanted the best for their children, yet so greedy

Have you heard the other side of the story. London Police are biased against blacks and don't do enough investigation. Did you know what the couple went through to take her to theUK. How did the police conclude they pay her 20pounds a month if there is no record. No bank account.



There is no other side to the story. The minimum wage in the UK is £6.70/hr , anything under that is putting yourself in trouble.

The woman would definitely not have a work permit, so the fact that she was employed as a baby sitter is an offence.

Also I'm pretty sure the woman was smuggled into the UK or brought on a visiting Visa which is another offence.

Please go and read the UK employment laws very well.


As for the guy saying there's the other side of the story, anything you can't tender in a law court is null and void.

Please, this issue is simple and clear, where is her 450-pound salary?

How dare you say she was given a better life? Toiling all day like a slave is a better life?

Even that 450 pounds is small. In compared standards of living, it may not be than 60,000 here.
