Its an indirect acknowledgement that Africa is frankly not included in some countries' definition of the "international community". What a sad day for Africa.

Precisely!

What kind on rubbish is this again?

Why will you force me to have my own kids?? They no born u well.

Lol in this hot summer one will read all that?

I'm happy for you two. Keep it up and good luck with the court case.

Lol. . . abeg go find your own wife

Luca, what's your point now?

Because some people are meant to be insulted

michelin89:
You forget say na you open the thread!

I didn't forget. Just baffles me how these guys still drool over virgins when they themselves are not

Lmao. . . I sincerely don't know what the dude is on about

Do people still look for virgins?

Luca, there are exceptions obviously. Not all house whatever are treated as mules but majority of them are.
Habaa! I grew up in Nigeria now. I saw for myself especially the "punishment" of putting pepper in a girls vagina or starving the person because he did Heaven knows what.

Now, if some parents are very harsh to their own kids like you say, you can only imagine what they do to these "maids".

Seriously, I've said my bit and I'm convinced that the poster of this thread needs a change of attitude towards that poor child.

The boy steals, the boy steals, bla bla shit! What does he steal if I may ask?? I won't be surprised it's the same things y'all confessed you stole when you were small. Nonsense!

If he steals and you can't teach him any better then send him back home. That's how to treat a "maid that steals". Too complicated indeed.

Ndipe:
I don't think my comment were directly referred to you@radiant. Look before you leap!

I was the first to mention the word "slave" so you could have also be referring to me.

Dearie, better tell your folks how you feel about marriage at the moment. After the wedding ceremony it's only you and your husband that will go home. Whatever happens afterwards is your own cheese cake. No pressure at 25, pls

Ndipe:
Now, how can one draw the line between housemaid and child slavery and a maid (of a young age) who is taken care off by their guardians?

I really hope you're not indirectly asking me to repeat myself. Please, read well.

Go find non-Nigerian girls since the Nigerian girls are sluts. Idiot.

lucabrasi:
@radiant
im sorry but you r being dramatic there,how many people in lagos fetch water in streams also even if you wanted to,

I'm not being dramatic in any way. These things happen in Nigeria. Is Lagos the whole Nigeria? Don't push it pls.

lucabrasi:
what kind of errand will you send a 12 years old?bearing in mind that if anything happens to the child trust naija mind set they ll conclude you used him for money rituals the farthest anyone will send a 12 years old is the next street and

In Nigeria they send even younger kids on errands such as washing cars, fetchin water, going to market. What are you talking about? You didn't grow in Nigeria? Rituals or no rituals, people abuse children in that country. What next street? Wake up!

lucabrasi:
why people actually prefer younger housemaids is because they can prove a temptation for the daddy of the house,if you havent heard of cases like that ask,there are load,as for house boys apart from stealing or bringing in armed robbers,did you hear of the pregnant woman who was killed by the houseboy after her husband travelled and then he had sex with the dead body, happened last year, if there was something like a criminal disclosure in nigeria like they do here or credit check then you will know the kind of people coming into your house,but in the absence of that will you allow a young man/woman into your house not knowing if they are armed robbers or scammers pretending to be maids/houseboys?

I totally understand what you mean but ermmm. . . no excuse for child abuse, darling.

lucabrasi:
i don't know where you grew up but we got our ass whipped in naija with horse whip and we got punished regularly,so that might sound like barbaric to you but fathers and mothers did that regularly and thats not to say they don't care for us or love us,thats why we didnt turn out like the kids in london knifing each other

Sorry dear. I wasn't beaten tho' slapped a few times. I don't support beating. I was raised without whips and what not and yet I don't "knife" people. There are ways to raise children other than beating tho' I agree some children are terribly stubborn.

lmao!! hehehe

What are you lot talking about here?? If you have children in the house why can't they do the work or why can't you employ someone older?? You can't treat an older person with such humiliation of course. Bloody good samaritans!

Fine! The boy's parents probably don't have much and that's why they sent him out to "work". As a human being with blood in your vessels, will you now take advantage of the boys poverty and treat him anyhow just because you're "paying" him? You beat him as you like, you use such abusive words on him because he's a shock absorber? A child is a child no matter how big he may seem.
A child not treated well mentally suffers the effect then and even in his future. You guys can't be bothered about how he feels 'cause afterall he's being "payed" to be a mule.

Would you wake your child at 5am to go fetch water in some stream? will you tell your child not to sleep until you go to bed?? Will you deprive your child of food because he came back late from an errand??

Every child did some chores around the house, I agree. My parents made us do a few things but not major tasks like washin cars, sweepin the whole house etc. We had a house help who was way older than us and not a child like us.
Hello??

A 12 yr old is a flammin child and has to be treated like a child irrespective of the fact that you're doing him a bloody ass "favor".
If your child travelled to an Aunt's place and they treated him in a "horrible" way will you send him there again? I doubt it with every living cell in me.

The fact that "this is Nigeria" don't mean it's the right thing to do! If you want to help someone, do so without taking advantage of his situation and treat him like a mule all in the name of some stupid salary.

I have a 'son' in Nigeria. He's almost my age but go ask him the way I treat him.

Y'all stop taking advantage of people's misery. Nonsense!

Junior is on point!

Brown, why u gon' quote some other and mention my name underneath??

I'm a bit undecided about this story but I'll just stick to what I said before, charity begins at home.

Gamine:
This Radiant girl needs to get off the sunshine and read well.

You definitely need to change your priest.

Little or no hope for us outside

Brown, I was gon' say the same too but the poster actually said he don't do the same for her family. I think that's not good. Charity begins at home if I must say that.

What a terrible joke!!

Gamine:
Why do people want celebrities dead na

That was funny. I wonder too

Dana??

ayomifull:
Marriage is not something to be endured but enjoyed because it a lifetime commitment.

Got that right!! However, it's not a life time commitment.

Couldn't even read the crap. Coma ko death ni. Only in Nigeria
