MrBrownJay1:
this ungrateful wicked woman played you, and she owes you... you should get what you are owe, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER!

The way is all I seek now.

Rapmoney:
I usually charge a fee for such advice but since I know you have suffered a lot, I won't charge you anything.

Now this is what you have to do. Go back to Benin in Edo State. Ask of Baba Okpogorokpo at Ugbowo, tell him your predicament, he will help you. Just pay him 6 Naira (I mean, 1 Naira × 6).

Call the woman's name three times and blow the powder he would give to you and hit your lap 7 times. I bet you, the woman will not only pay you times ten of what she owes you, but she will come back to Nigeria and will not be able to travel out again. In fact, she will chew and swallow all her travelling documents!

Funny but baba jazz dey learn where this woman own dey. Any other advise?

Pavore9:
Pictures of you with her or her children would have served as a proof you had something to do with them but with no written agreement as all has been oral and her having left Nigeria, it would be difficult to get her to pay.

How then can I pursue this?

Shibaraba:
Twitter is your friend

Nice idea. Thanks

soberdrunk:
People are wicked sha but you how can you work 24 long months without pay or them fulfilling their promise and just keep quiet..... I doubt if you can get your money unless you are willing to dance the dance of the elders.....

What is involved in this dance of the elders?

NwaAmaikpe:

Silence?

Pavore9:
Did you take any picture with her or with her children while still with the family?

The only picture taken with her children during the 2015 Christmas was sent to her as not having a phone was one of the conditions of working with them.

I have personal pictures taken in the house

I was brought to Lagos in 2014 from my base in Benin Edo State to work as a house help for a woman who is based in the US but has her children here in Nigeria.

We agreed at that time that she'll either pay me monthly or enroll me in a trade and settle me after learning.

I resumed work September of the said year, after six months and nothing was said of either my Salary or the apprenticeship I complained and she promised to enroll me for a trade.

After working for eighteen months without pay nor putting me into any trade coupled with all the maltreatments and abuses I incurred, I requested for me to be paid as time was no longer on my side. She promised to still put me in a trade but never did.

Exactly two years after I resumed the job, I once again requested for my pay, she them said that she doesn't have anything for me that I should go if I want to go or stay if I wish.

I left in 2016 December. I heard she was in Nigeria this year and came to see her for my pay. She took my phone number and promised to call but never did.

I went back to the house only to be told they have relocated. All efforts to get to her was not productive until I saw her on Facebook and sent a friend request to her and her sons. On noticing I was the one, she ignored my request and messages sent to her.

Please how can I get my money from her or at least seek justice. I feel so used, dumbed and abandoned.

PLEASE HELP.

Pavore9:
Was there any written agreement signed by you and her?

No. Everything was just oral between her brother and my family and a phone conversation.

The said brother said he can't help me too as they are no longer in good terms
