Politics / Re: Appeal Court affirms Makinde’s election As Oyo Governor by smartolala(m): 2:21pm On Dec 18, 2019
seunmsg:


They should let go after winning the appeal? It’s like some of you don’t even understand the implication of what happened today. Makinde’s seat is now shaking with this decision. Appeal court decided all the issues raised in favour of Adedibu but refused to make any consequential order simply because of time. The decision of the election petition tribunal was declared a miscarriage of justice and then nullified.

What they should have done was to order a retrial but the case is already time bound. Supreme Court will have to make that consequential order except PDP’s appeal succeeds at the apex court.
I hope you have heard the pronouncement of the supreme court,next time listen to the wise saying,whatever is bound here,is also bound above.

Family / Why Are Numerous Decent People Single Nowadays? by smartolala(m): 5:20pm On Dec 13, 2019
Many decent people I know are single.They are well to do and have the resources to sustain healthy marriage,and also not belong to the group who decided not get married for reasons best known to them.

I am of the opinion that it's for one main reason:they are looking for the one.

They want true love.They desire something real,something that takes time to build,but something that will last forever.

They are careful with who they choose to fall and have high expectations for who they will settle down with.

They live by concept of delayed gratification, constantly hoping that amongst all of these people who live to satisfy their temporary pleasure,one will appear that has real and pure intentions.

They are dreamers yet they are observant.They have been hurt in the past but they believe in better.
They strive for better.
And I really hope they find it.

What do you think?

It's stupid to insinuate that she changed because you were nice to her. On the contrary, I think you became your mom at some point. Wicked, mean and insensitive.
Your mom asked your maid to sit on the floor and called it putting her in her place. I lived with maids although my childhood and I've never seen my parents telling any of our maids to sat on the floor. Yes they don't eat with us on the dinning but they have stools in the kitchen where they sit and eat.
It's not the maid that changed op, it's you! You started seeing things the way your mom sees it and that opened your eyes to the things your mom hated in her.
I will not reply you with harsh words like stupid,mean,wicked and insensitive that you stated because of my upbringing and the level of my evolvement in life.The sitting on the floor to eat was her choice,after she was stopped from eating alone in her room,I go to know some years later.she did many things bad later but I don't want to say all,because to err is human to forgive is divine.

PST David said something that has stayed with me ever since, he said before he got to this level, when he was broke(I bet not yet a preacher) even with all negative things happening around him,he always said he was going to attain this level, he always spoke about how things will be well for him,that's the power of speaking it into existence. Always speak positive about you.

Great stuff

I currently went through almost same thing, I recently lost my mum, and out of pity I decided that her maid come to work with us as we just sacked our maid due to petty lies and stealing.
My wife decided to treat this ‘new maid’ very well, bought her clothes, even brought 2 of her children to be staying with us. Her kids are similar age to mine...

My wife treated her like a sister which I was overtly against; not that I hate anyone, but I am just a staunch believer of placing people.

Few weeks later her children waged war on mine, I got home seeing new marks on my ‘ajebo’ Children...

The lady goes out at will and comes back anytime, she sometime says she is tired hence no work from her that day, it was like we were working for her... meanwhile I was busy enjoying everything happening because I wanted my wife to learn from it.

I later chased her away before she chased us away grin

Don’t be wicked to your maids but always place them else they will see your spouse, you or your children as threats
I tried to summarized everything without saying all for not be as if I am demonizing my fellow human. Your story is similar to mine because my Dad told me later that he kept many things to his chest because he want my mom to learn some lessons....since the maid was recommended by her trusted friend.

Hmm...interesting story. I understand where OP might be heading to with the story (putting people in their place) but why will your mum ask a human being (even if she was a maid) to sit on the floor while you people have dinner? Doesn't the maid have her own room? Why should she eat AFTER you have all eaten? And these questions are just from the little information you provided. It looks dehumanising to me (no matter how much 'shebi other people do it" it is). Whether the maid turned evil or not might be independent of how your mum treated her....or not

And I am in no way defending the maid but calling out the way she was treated. We also had maids growing up and they were treated very well. Some misbehave, some don't.
I tried to summarized the whole thing not to paint her too black because we are all humans no matter what,the choice of eating on floor was hers,i found out some years later.

I feel like this post is just advocating treating maids like trash.
Sit on the floor to eat while others eat on the table? That’s not normal in any world but you know your world best.

Anyone who’s nasty will sooner than later show you their true colors no matter how well you treat them.
Just be professional in your dealings with employees. No unnecessary boundaries being crossed and you will most likely be fine. If not, terminate the work relationship ASAP.

But don’t use subhuman treatment as a tool to keep employees in check.
I got your opinion, eating on the floor was her choice,after my mom refused to let her eat in her room,to avoid being isolated from everyone.

True. That's why i don't give people credit more than they deserve, sooner or later they would try to walk right on top of you.

Be good and keep boundaries and you'll be fine.

Who determines where the 'place' of a maid is? Why does it have to be the floor and why does her life have to be subhuman? Why do you have to mention any 'good' you do her as if she wasn't 'worthy'.

If you want to assist another human being don't 'enslave' them. If your kids matter to you more than your jobs then show it. No one can show your kids the love, attention and care you can. Who has bewitched the nations of the world into a fruitless endless chase of money?...
I was just trying to pass a message without demonizing her,that is why l left many things that happened out.As for the eating on the floor,I later found out she made that option herself

The story just feels incomplete somehow. I didn't say I want to know anything else.

But I think there were other factors involved, I could be wrong.

For example, you insinuated to your mum the maid was better than her? And after that the maid was told to sit on the floor? And you also criticized your mum to the maid?
yes I was insinuating that she is better,because we spent most of the time her and she was caring then.As for the eating on the floor,I later found out she made the choice by herself.

some years later when I was discussing with my father,he told me that in his presence the maid told my mom she will prefer eating alone in her room,but my mom declined,so that she won't feel isolated.when she came to sitting room,she refused to seat on the chair,that food digest easily whenever she sit on the floor while eating.

Family / This Is An Ugly Truth Of Life by smartolala(m): 6:49pm On Dec 10, 2019
My parents hired a maid to look after me and my immediate younger sister when we were 7 and 4 years old respectively.Because both of them were early riser and kind of busy people.

Me and my sister got attached to the maid within some days and fell for her affection toward us.she was great in her job and cooked really good food and provide the nurture teenagers like us deserves.

My mom used to take feedback from me and my sister of her work.I used to praise her a lot .I was even insinuating that she was better than my mother.

One day we were on our dinning table of six sitting capacity. My mom asked the maid to seat on the floor and eat because she normally eat after we finished our dinner.

I asked my mom why can't she sit with us and have her dinner? She is a great maid and take care of me and my sister.

My mom replied son,you don't know the social customs. Eat your food.We will discuss it later.

I started arguing with my mom.

My father said just shut up your mouth and eat.Don't talk while eating.within me I was thinking that my parents are cruel by their actions.

The following day when me and my sister came back from school,during lunch,I asked the maid to come and sit with us on the dinning table and have food.

She refused first,but I insisted because I thought she deserved some respect from me.

After 2 months she started gossip about my mom behind her.

She used to tell me how cruel my mom is to her.Initially I was supporting her because of my attachment to her.

Then,she took it to another level and started gossiping with other maids in the neighborhood.

Not long,she started commanding me and my sister for many things ,Do that,Do this.Her behaviour started changing slowly.

She started cooking bad food during launch time as per her own taste.I don't like spicy food.Still she commanded me to eat like that.

One day my mom came home early from market and met her shouting at us.My mom asked her,Take your salary and get out from my house.I told my mom the whole story,I requested her not to tell my father.

My mom promised not tell my father,but remember son,always keep the person where he/she belongs.

That day I realized that our parents might not be always there for us,but they will never harm us and always protect us.

No body can replace your real mother.Though my mom is late,till now the advice is evergreen.

Thanks for reading.
