Happy Sunday

Domestic staff like drivers, house-helps, cooks and nannies are hired every day around Africa, mostly by middle-class Africans, who are financially comfortable to some extent and can afford to keep one or two domestic staff in their residences, to help out with some basic chores.

Now, the concept of modern-day slavery is no longer hidden, almost everyone knows the meaning, and also know when it is apparent that those who work for them, are nothing more than modern day slaves.

Unlike the days when black slavery was rampant in the West, these days, there are no visible shackles on the legs and hands of victims, replacing those heavy metallic bonds, are invisible restraints, limiting freedom for most of these domestic staff.

It is quite easy to identify these domestic staff, due to their overall demeanour, and even dressing. They look haggard most of the time, without a life of their own, on the contrary, those they work for, always look put together, neat and well-fed.

Take, for example, a young lady who acts as a nanny to young children of her master/mistress, has no tie for herself, because she alone caters for four children, with absolutely no help from her boss(es). Instead, she is restricted to work, all day, all week, all month, and all year, just because she is being paid peanuts!

Some of these children, grow up to see their mum and dad bossing young men and ladies around and start doing the same once they come of age!

Same applies to other domestic staff, whose bosses believe they own them and they have no right to a life of their own or some time off, just because they receive a salary (which most of the time, cannot even cater to all their needs)!

If you own a domestic staff in your home, how do you honestly treat him/her/them?

This is a question that needs honest answers, in terms of welfare and enforcement of human rights.

Pope Francis, once commented on modern slavery, saying;

Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects but often human beings themselves, who are discarded as 'unnecessary'.

This is so true in the way many people treat their domestic staff while complaining that politicians and government being heartless. The modern-day 'slave-owners' forget that they are also wearing the same shoes as the government in the lives of those they employ while having absolutely no respect for them!

You're right

He would call her every 30 minutes.

“Hey love,” he says, I am just checking on you.

He never came home late.

He would say ‘I love you’ often.

As he returned home from the office,

His boot would be full of groceries.

Goodies for the children, gifts for her.

That had always been the pattern whenever he was having an affair.

And she knew it.


His affairs always lasted a few weeks.

At most 3 months.

He was too self-conceited to be careless.

He will have condoms in his wallet.

Whatever he bought for the lady he is having the affair with,

He bought for her too.

She would receive unexpected cash transfers from him.

His lovemaking also put her first. he took his time until she arrived.


Once the affair was over,

things would return to normal.

His wallet will be devoid of condoms.

The goodies would cease.

The sudden cash gifts will also cease.

Normal is also very nice.

He loved her to death...

Yet, many Nigerians deny the sad reality.

For many socially conscious people around the world, it has become obvious that Nigeria and her leaders/politicians have decided to continually take advantage of and insult the collective mentality of their people, through the promotion of poverty.

This is done through actions that show the leaders care nothing about the people, except to use them for political thuggery (online and offline), and to promote division along ethnic and tribal lines. The people, who are used by these ‘leaders’ often develop a ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ kind of love for their tormentors and they bare their fangs to those who try to rescue them from this servitude.

There are many instances to show that poverty has been institutionalized and weaponized in Nigeria, however, it can be seen in how politicians engage people during an election year.

In saner climes, people who run for elective offices, often involve themselves in debates with opponents to tackle issues and offer their blueprint on how they intend to fix challenges.

But, in Nigeria, it is different. Politicians are seen campaigning for office by opting to eat in local roadside restaurants with the ‘masses’, sell goods like roasted corn, and sachet water, on busy roads like struggling Nigerians do every day, or even shed tears while lamenting how much a single pack of spaghetti pasta costs!

All these acts are carried out with the mainstream media at full alert, taking photos and recording videos!

The regular Nigerian does not see through this blatant disrespect of his intelligence by desperate politicians who are ready to kill for power, instead, s/he sympathises with them, citing how humble said politicians are! http://lingoafrica.com/poverty-has-been-institutionalized-in-nigeria/

Good morning!

Take advantage of this.
