Family / Re: Why Do Some People Maltreat Their Househelps? by Shinatu: 5:02pm On May 15, 2012 |
harakiri: At a time while growing up in my own home under my parents, I would not have had pleasant things to say about how my own mother was treating me. I wonder how many of us working under an organised establishment have all good things to say about our employers, are we not always complaining about one thing or the other that make us perceive that our employers dont care about us? |
Family / Re: Why Do Some People Maltreat Their Househelps? by Shinatu: 8:46am On May 15, 2012 |
maasoap: since she's likely to spend many years under your roof as long as you people do not get tired of each other, what are you doing to make her life or future better? Because you were silent on that aspect. @maasoap I did not set out to write an epistle on my plans for my house maid.I only wanted to quickly drop my support for moremi2008's stand that many people still treat their house maid fairly. I am puzzled at the tone of your statement on 'my silence' is it really hard to believe that some employers of labour (house maids) can be reasonable? Anyway, my housemaid is an adult and gets paid,her salary is not constant because mine is not constant too, it gets reviewed.She shall also get a factor of her salary depending on the number of years spent when she is ready to leave (this is the agreed, there could be other 'jara')I have engaged her on what she would like to do to secure her future, she has told me her plans and I give my counsell as far as I can give, I have learnt that counsell is a significant thing lacking in the lives of these young ladies and many of them see you as a nuisance when you insist on it. |

[b][/b] moremi2008: @Moremi2008 I am surprised that you got this right despite the fact that you do not live in Nigeria( the first paragraph of your post). Many Nigerians in the diaspora get it all wrong, the only thing they know about house maids is what they remember from their childhood i.e how their mothers treated their housemaids. I do not treat my house maid badly (she is 19years old), she goes with us to every family special outing (be it by air or by road)and sits on the same table with us eating what we eat, does she wear the same quality of chlothes my children wear? No or does she have all that my children have ? No I should not be seen as 'different', because I am not I am surrounded by people who treat their house maids the same way, if not better! 1 Like |

Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Shinatu: 2:46pm On Apr 26, 2012 |
mcbertin: I have read all the comments with keen intrest and wants to seek opinion of someone who has gone through this before. I have plans of traveling to US with my husband and my 2year old baby. I also plan to have baby in US and yet to get a visa, is it beeter to tell the consulate officer in Nigeria that we are going on a family vacation or that I am going to have a baby in US. Do not say you are going to have the baby in the US if you are not requesting for a medical Visa. All of you could be be given a visiting visa if you can prove that you have strong ties with Nigeria e.g you or your husband work in a very good company.(someone mentioned in an earlier post that his family was denied despite the fact that he works in an oil company!) Sometimes these things are not black or white, a pregnant colleague of mine was denied while another one was given despite her 'yes' answer to the pregancy question, the interviewer looked at her bank account and said she could afford to have the baby in the US if she wanted to.that was in Abuja. As someone mentioned , it is better to go apply for the visa before getting pregnant. |

[b][/b] lonxo: I intend traveling ending of the month to have my baby in Chicago.Can anyone recommend an affordable child birth centre/hospital in chicago to me. I made use of the First Bank naira master card to pay my bills in the US some time last year, the nice thing is that the card is tied to a normal naira current accout. the only problems encountered was that of Network failure once or twice while shopping. You can ask other banks with more reliable networks if they have the same product. If you take this route, please take some spare cash along, maybe about $1K |
Business / Re: Is Financial Independence Truly Linked to Self-Employment? by Shinatu: 11:16am On Apr 18, 2012 |
[b][/b] AjanleKoko: I think most people didn't get my point. Only this fella with the censored name did: Weeeeell,1M per month for 10 years is 120M(principal), Assuming that was his average income and he did not spend any part of it or if his salary was more but came to 1M after the usual family expenses. Maybe he was employed as a senior person and became a manager along the way so his salary was much higher,but the thing is these guys hardly leave when they get that far because then it starts to get interesting! |

Politics / Re: Ig Of Police's Directive On Stopping Of Road Blocks,my Personal Experience! by Shinatu: 8:23am On Apr 09, 2012 |
I do not think these guys (the Police) will comply completely, I think they are beginning to get hungry. I travelled from the West to the south south yesterday, I saw no single road block on the road but Police men at intervals by the road side,untill I got to Delta state, met two within 2-4Km. I have been trying to call the 08077446699 since then but am not getting through, does that number work? has anyone been able to get through to it? |

Travel / Re: Usa Visa Renewal In Lagos: Vjustice, Justwise, Please Advice by Shinatu: 11:50pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
sorry, just seeing this You will still have to fix an appointment and appear there physically with your documents. Drop box is just a term that has been in use since the time the process was a little bit different. Take the link below to get more info if you have'nt done that already http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/niv_renewals.html |

Politics / Re: Militants Threatening Us – Pengassan by Shinatu: 3:20pm On Jan 14, 2012 |
I believe it will be an illegal act for Pengassan to shut down oil facilities, what they are allowed to do is to ask their members operating these facilities to leave .They know this will not give them what they want because members of staff of the oil company who are not members of Pengassan will simply take over. |
Travel / Re: Usa Visa Renewal In Lagos: Vjustice, Justwise, Please Advice by Shinatu: 1:11pm On Jan 12, 2012 |
justwise: I have never had to use any for my US NIV(Non immigrant visa) renewal. Anyway the embassy says they do not have specific requirement for documents to be presented,just to be prepared with those that will show your readiness to come back home. You can use the visa renewal (drop box) facility up to a year after the expiration of your current visa, so if you are not in a hurry to get back to the US you have a whole year in Nigeria to renew that visa |

Family / Re: Why Is There A Huge Pressure On Girls To Get Married Before A Certian Age? by Shinatu: 11:28pm On Jan 04, 2012 |
BABE!: You cannot be happy living a marriageless life in Nigeria, you will be reminded of how miserable you must be everywhere you go. You shall always be regarded as someone with a huuuuuuge problem no matter how comfortable you initially feel with your situation, at the end you may start to feel exactly the way you are addressed. It is a sad thing in my opinion as it does not make young men to develop in character, because everybody knows that no matter how ill mannered a guy is, there will be a gal ready to marry him even if it is just to get out of spinsterhood, then the struggle begins |
