Eldee On Slavery In Libya: Those With House Helps Are Also Involved In Slavery by argob44(f): 3:30pm On Nov 29, 2017
A prominent American Nigeria based pastor, Rev. Laurie Idahosa has shared series of tweets by Nigerian singer, Eldee The Don who said "we should also reflect in slavery around us" even as we lament on the reported slavery going on in Libya.

Laurie Idahosa wrote:

WARNING!!!!
CONTROVERSIAL POST THAT MAY MAKE YOU THINK..... Be sure to swipe and read all the tweets, even if it "pinches."
I came across this thread on twitter and found myself shouting "YES! THIS IS THE MENTALITY THAT ALLOWS MODERN DAY SLAVERY TO THRIVE!"

I ended up retweeting each post. I have been saying this for years and have gotten lots of backlashes and have heard many well-formed defenses from friends who partake in such practices.

Maybe this is the time to bring the WHOLE matter to light. It is easy to create awareness and to cry over something that seems abstract and far away... What about the "slavery" many witnesses or even engage in regularly in their homes?

If you can't afford to hire a consenting adult or pay your workers minimum wage (at the very least) then... do your own laundry! Take care of your own kids! Sweep your own floor!.

Engaging a 12-year-old girl from the village to help you carry your baby while denying her education and a free-life is slavery... any which way you try to defend it.

100% true but it's better to be a slave in your homeland than be a slave in another man's land
Re: Eldee On Slavery In Libya: Those With House Helps Are Also Involved In Slavery by brainpower(m): 4:17pm On Nov 29, 2017
He made some good points there

But personally, I can't compare what's happening here to that of Libya. Some of them are being used for medical experiments while the organs of some others are harvested and sold to rich men.

All in all, this is purely man's inhumanity to man.

It is slavery !

(1) you cant employ a child - child labor

(2) you don't pay the child the wages but instead pay someone else - human trafficking

all the child gets from you depends on your benevolence e.g. school, food, shelter etc.

employ an above 18 house maid and pay him/her for her services directly.
