Sis I don't remember asking for your opinion on this. Don't let hate give you BP, you should be referring to Abacha whose loot is still being recovered over 20yrs after his demise and what of OBJ who gave oil rich Bakassi to Cameroon as a gift. GEJ is the only former president without a mansion so where is the loot? Don't bother replying

He made you to know Him

If you do not yet have an intimate relationship with God please say this prayer

"Lord I dedicate myself to you, I believe you are the son of God and I give you my entire faculties (mind, body, soul and spirit) to use as you please. Lord Jesus accept me fully I pray in Jesus name" Amen

FamilyRe: How Best To Treat House-helps (photos) by Pidggin(f): 10:43pm On Aug 10, 2016
Acidosis:
Since it is hard to recognize the maltreated and the well-treated, the way out is to preach against and abolish the idea of housing these teenage children.

What you call 'well-treatment' may be wickedness to some. See, at 8, 9, 10, I sold banana and plantain under my parent's roof, it was fun to me. If these woman (OP's sister) had placed a basket of banana on that girl's head, people will call her names for being 'wicked'.

There is a particular thread on Nl where people cursed a woman for allowing a 'foster' son oversee a small kiosk. In fact, the OP of that incidence took the boy's photo to pass a useless point.

It is better to let these kids remain with their parents, and allow everyone bear im papa name.

The truth remains that everybody cannot eat fried rice for dinner. Some people will take pap, others garri. That you drink garri does not mean you're suffering, it is a mindset thing. No amount of Ankara, makeup, and fried rice can erase the fact that a teenage girl is hired to do chores under the guise of HELP.

Garri and freedom with your parents is better than Chicken in an enslaved stomach.
Some people have benefited from helpers they lived with while they were growing up. Some parents may not be in a position to bring their child(ren) up well. I know a wealthy respected man who said that he would have not achieved anything in life if his uncle had not taken him away from his mother


To each his own.
FamilyRe: How Best To Treat House-helps (photos) by Pidggin(f): 10:00pm On Aug 10, 2016
Acidosis:
The fact that OP opened a thread to honour her sister shows the little girl is a "well-treated" teenage househelp.

Whether he/she is well treated or not, it is wrong to hire/accept to 'train' a teenage girl under your roof for the SOLE purpose of what you know you will benefit from her. When the aim is about YOU (what you will get), it can no longer be referred to as HELP, but employment/or slavery.

Slavery in that context means you hire a teenage girl to do the work of an adult, because you know you cannot afford the pay and demands of an adult; and you also know that a teenage girl has no VOICE or OPINION.
Does that girl look like a teenager to you? The fact is that she is most likely better off living with the OP's sister than living with her parents who might not have the financial resources to take care of her. Let's stop being hypocritical here, if you had a ten years old biological child wouldn't you expect that child to help you out in the house with little chores? Wouldn't you expect the child to at least watch his/her younger ones while you and your wife are busy with other chores or work?

I see nothing wrong in this, the child looks happy and healthy, let sleeping dogs lie.
FamilyRe: How Best To Treat House-helps (photos) by Pidggin(f): 8:33pm On Aug 10, 2016
Acidosis:
Actually, I don't trust people who hire young/teenage girls in the name of "help" or "training".


A househelp should be treated like any other employee (driver, gateman, PA, manager, marketer, etc.). It is a job, and the mode of payment is MONEY (like I mentioned earlier, ankara is not a legal tender). A young girl who cannot bargain her Salary/Wage should never be hired for any form of JOB. It is called SLAVERY.
Does that girl look like she's being treated like a slave? Can you treat her better?

OP your sister is doing a good job but stop calling her House help. I won't have guessed she was one if you didn't mention it, stop it.

Woged2005:
What makes modern religious girls (born-gains) unattractive for marriage?

Please I am not judging or rushing to conclusion. But I visited a church and had attended many churches and it shocks me to see the number of educated, beautiful, working class ladies in their late 30’s trooping to answer alter-calls, sometime crying openly in church to find a husband. Sometime I wonder what part of them don’t men (even brothers in the same church) see? These ladies appear to have it all -shape, education, career, beauty etc. Why are they not getting married despite their credentials? Does it mean these ladies only trooped to church when things have already gone wrong in their lives? Are they being rewarded for past lives? Do men (even Christian men) not find them marriageable? What are they doing wrong?

Please pour your mind and experiences out here. Let’s help people understand. Let’s offer practical solutions.
Why is this not happening in my Church? People are getting married every time. Your observation is false, you are only mocking yourself thinking you are mocking Christian ladies, focus on your own life.
