Maxvasia:
And this hand to make FP??
Of what relevance is both the story and the face of the vegetable infested head of the lady to us now?

Nairaland is becoming a joke. It will very soon, lose its relevance in the scheme of on rushing events

dulux07:
Jst because i'm suppose to be in school, i work in mcdonalds, mr biggs, cashier or biz centre, r they suppose to send me to school.
The point is dont maltreat your workers. Simple
And besides nothing like teenage in the post

dulux07:
She is actually right, it is only if its part of their agreement. Otherwise it's her choice. not sending her to school does not mean she's cruel to her.

victorazyvictor:
Oga go and employ a nanny not househelp. people don't know the diff between househelp and nanny. Nanny is a professional, adult like you who specializes in keeping your home in order when your not around[b] while househelp is simply a helper just as the name implies. as she is underage and rendering help to you, is ur obligation To Help her to school too. [/b] how much are you paying her?

kimbraa:
It's in Nigeria where kids are used as helpers/Nannies. In advanced Nations, adults do these jobs as either part time or full time who get paid for their services. In this premise, she's right for saying what she said but most Nigerians who bring in others kids from the villages to do house helps don't pay these girls for their services, as a matter of fact, the child's parent is lied to that they'd put the child in school. If you're not paying her monthly or weekly for what she does then you should send her to school. It's wickedness if she isn't paid, and isn't put in school.

ivolt:
Employing an underaged school-age kid as househelp is reprehensible.
If you need an househelp, employ an adult, with that no one will complain.

nurshah:
Ehn Ehn that's not it..she has a point ..what you should advise us that we treat them well like humans..like me what I know I can't do alone if I had no help,I join hands o assist her...I don't over work her and by 9 she is done.when babies cone I employ a nanny seperate .

It all depend if there was an agreement that you will educate her fine ,if not IRS left to your conscience but advisably study her first and know her back ground very well .
All my house gals under go medical tests aids ,tb ,etcanc also witch craft test ..yes u read correctly ,witch craft ....there are some scents witches can't stand so the day a maid is coming for interview I burn it and it works ...am sure even villages have such

AntiWailer:
Will she under go sanity check ?

Will ur scent detect frustration ?

I pity the soup the girl go poison

GetMeRight:
Thanks for clarifying this.

omoiyamayor:
take it or leave it,our ppl still going there,ain't they aware it's not western world,don't they know it's not a civilised world? If u are employed as a maid,don't hope for a fascinating world,else dissapointment awaits.

Rokia2:
Why can't these women do their own house work?
The laziness is real SMH.

There are career women with kids and they still manage to look after their homes.

LordAdam16:
Oga so because Saudi Arabia until recently did not allow their women to drive cars, would you also say Nigerian women shouldn't drive cars?

We are talking about how civilized people should behave, and you're trying to sound clever by half.

No one wants to work as a maid, much more kids who should be having the time of their lives.

I think much of the confusion is about having minors vs adults as maids/house-helps. For minors, they have to be put through school. For adults, it's up to the agreement they have with their employers, but it typically is down to payment only.

agbonkamen:
Always treat these people well: Drivers, househelp, Nanny, and cook if not they will use your life for sacrifice

dulux07:
First, nothing like UNDERAGE is in d post. d lady used EMPLOYED, so shes not rendering any help, she gets paid.

So all those young guys that work as cashiers, work in mr biggs, mc donalds, business centres, sales girl etc...is it their boss that sponsors their education. they could ve hired an adult or professional too.. . The main thing is their employer treats them well.

wizzyrich:
What if the house help is the type with poor communication skills in english, did the lady thought about the adverse effect it will have on her kids ?

Feranchek:
I kinda agree with her. She's being factual. A househelp, just like other domestic paid employees, is EMPLOYED to work and in return get paid. But if being paid in CASH is not part of the agreement, then it'll suffice to pay her in KIND, by treating her same way you treat your kids.

thimbook2:
I just hope it ain't underaged labor and trafficking they talking about so casually!

PS
It's a lie!
Is dis really you, Rokky ?
Been ages...
How's ur hubby, peeps and those superduper :ohips ! you know you bleseed sistah, you know you're blessed!

omoiyamayor:
bros it's up to you to make peace with it or not but if one allows his/her kid to b maid,just need to pray so that d kid will not b frequently abuse and molest and don't expect the kid to come back with doctorate.hate the system

LordAdam16:
No doubt we need to apportion blames correctly. People having more children than they can take care of is a no-no. But some parents in the rural areas let their kids go live with relatives or someone close in the cities to better their lot. No matter how you look at it, it beats wasting away in the village.

There'd always be fruits that fall off the wrong tree, it's called the birth lottery. Like the way most of us would have preferred to be born elsewhere.

The point is that if you are privileged to have the means to support a minor who lives and helps with chores, put him or her in school. It is the right thing to do. That's a kid and a human being. There's a reason why kids are given the highest level of priority whenever disaster strikes. At least have some empathy. This ain't my kid, so not my problem is reprehensible when it means denying a kid who is paying his/her dues a basic fundamental child right.

Read the UN convention on child rights on http://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CRC.aspx

That Nigeria is lawless where it is not enforced unlike in other countries isn't reason enough to have a laissez-faire attitude.

And to think a lot of you went to a church yesterday or a mosque on friday.

No one is talking about giving the kid full scholarship until he becomes a doctor. Put him or her through primary and/or secondary school (as the case may be) to give him/her a shot at making something out of his or her life. Public schools cost next to nothing. And he/she only has to be out from 7 am - 2 pm.

That I have to explain this is one of the most depressing things I've done on NL. Can't bring myself to reply you again.

I'm talking about issue when a maid gets paid to the family or agents that's brings them,in fact this maid are so oriented that u will imagine who was behind that.my mom once had a maid from Togo I tried to ask her how she turned to b maid and she maid me realise it's a process kids go thru athe their village,she added that she has 5 more siblings in Nigeria doing the same,in this case if all the people they work for been sending them to school, will you label their bosses as fools for trying to help and dont u think it will encourage their society to produce more kids for trafficking? For me Abuses and molesting is a NO NO but the system should be more professional so that the their parent will feel the Guilt. Mind u I'm not talking about relatives you don't pay cus that's taking advantage of situation.
