From the write up we can all see that she is innocent, except if anyone chooses to turn blind eye due to tribalism. She'll be fine Las Las.

SLIDEwaxie:
Aye o ni da. Na dem.oush am go there? Around that 1971 that she moved, I'm sure opportunities are in Nigeria and not as competitive as today. A lot of her mates have retired and enjoying their lives after civil service. A lot of our parents seized the opportunity of that time and had made fortunes working in civil service with minimal education

71 year old still doing cleaning job in UK
What Nigeria cannot do to its citizens does not exist!

thesicilian:
This is not life, still working as a cleaner at 71yrs. In 1971 when she entered the country she was likely in her teens around 17, how is someone like that still a cleaner after so many years abroad?

And secondly I'm very sure her dismissal was more likely because of her age, she may not be cleaning as well as she used to and maybe there have been complaints about the quality of her work and they didn't know how to let her go until this incident happened

Centcanada:
it's a mistake. Don't comment because you want to comment. Some time think before you comment because woman most times no dey get one bag so is positive stuff dey her bag why she carry another bag go work and she no know

Dougad:
I don't understand why a 70-year-old woman, who has been in the UK since she was a teenager, still works as a cleaner. She experienced the good 'ol days of the UK before things became as bleeped up as it is and should have made enough to already retire. Something's wrong

Eriokanmi:
Overseas, there's dignity in Labour. No age limit, no shaming, nothing. As long as you're still active, you are employable. A cleaner in the UK is a multimillionaire in Nigeria. Since she's moved to the UK, she must have had meaningful assets including buildings in Nigeria from that cleaning job if she hasn't eaten with both hands. She may also be closer home at 71 than you think. If she retires home at that age, she could age faster. Even with her cleaner job in a place like LSE,she'd get health Insurance and other benefits. Who can offer cleaners that in Nigeria, tell me.

Why will she forget it for 3 days

Yong4ever:
it's very possible for her to forget, people of that age suffer from amnesia a lot,By the way why is working as a cleaner at that age?

This is one of the people that are ever comfortable with appellations like " Mummy London" or " Mama ilu oyinbo". There are many of them over there who got carried away with the feeling of being abroad and never planned or thought of a day they will ever come back home.

Just a few weeks ago, we read of a 70 some year old man doing Uber in US who was killed. Why? It is because, they have a mind set the moment they step on the ground over there.

No plan to ever come back home.
No plan for themselves knowing fully well that the UK environment is harsh to eveeyone whether you are active or retired. Infact , the UK society aims to make you useless to yourself at the end of the day.

Lesson for other people presently forming Mummy London.

I am 101 percent sure all her children were born there and are still there. But of course for UK, mama no see pikin, pikin no see mama.

There's no dignity in being a cleaner after 54yrs in the UK bro, don't see blue and call it black. Did you read the part she was already complaining about her rent and her bills? Would you want that kind of "dignity" for your loved ones?

Nemesis0147:
and she is still struggling to pay rent?
No husband
No children?
She should have made plans for her retirement long time ago
Even if na to come back Nigeria and set up.

In 2021, 3.3 million people aged 65 years and over were living alone in England and Wales, 30.1 % of the older population. The proportion of older women living alone was lower in 2021 (36.3%) than in 2011 (39.2%). For men, the proportion increased slightly in 2021 (22.7%) compared with 2011 (21.8%).

Eriokanmi:
You're getting me wrong. There's no job seen as a dirty job over there.. you can also work at any age, provided you still have the energy. That's my point. As a cleaner, she'll enjoy many benefits that only the rich enjoy here in Nigeria, including health insurance. If she's complaining about rent, it's a different thing

Ambassadorseyi:
The fact still remain that she returned it. It's possible she forgot. If she really intend to steal it, I don't think she'll return it...

SSpeter:
She has recorded it as "IGR". , grab it, steal it, and run away with it.

- Relative pensioner poverty rates in the UK stand at nearly 18%; this is almost the same as pre-pandemic, when they were at their highest since 2006/07. However, the highest poverty rates among people aged 16 and over are among working-age adults aged 60 and over, 25% of whom are in poverty.

- Of all UK pensioners in poverty, more than half (55%) are in deep poverty and almost three in ten (29%) are in very deep poverty.

- Some groups, including people from some minority ethnic backgrounds, are at particular risk of pensioner poverty: people of Bangladeshi and Pakistani backgrounds have the highest rates, with more than two in five Pakistani people aged 50 and over in the UK living in poverty.

- For people from minority ethnic backgrounds, the ethnicity pay gap plays a role in levels of pensioner poverty.
- Auto-enrolment has transformed the pension landscape but working histories that include part-time work and low pay mean many
people do not meet the threshold (a salary of £10,000 per year) for auto-enrolment into workplace pension schemes.
