u mean 39 yrs old monkey tipia hahha

Since you descended from baboons, you should know the etymology of monkeys. Your speech patterns are a dead giveaway. They do say chimpanzees are computer literate these days. You're obviously the proof of that.

@tpaih, maybe she added that so people could get a clearer picture of the story because of the kind of comments being posted. I do that sometimes, i post and read through my post and i see some mistakes and details i forgot to add and i modify my post

that's quite possible. She could also have clarified herself in a separate post but to each his own.

JJYOU

74 YRS OLD still in sleaze in ekiti

just like tipia hahha

tpia is 39, you monkey.

a bit older than your sleazeball of a mother, dont you think?

@Tpiah, if you read her post corectly you will see that she took the maid job as a temproray thing because her sister told her that she would learn and grow by working for this woman. Things are really bad in Nigeria now, some mechanics now employ graduates of Mechanical Engineering

@ bolded

she added all that after reading people's comments.

She modified her initial post.

I'm not interested in beating this topic to death, but a mechanic with an established business can employ a mech.eng graduate. It also benefits the graduate because he learns the practical aspects of his profession. There's always been a debate about how much practical exposure engineering students get while in university as compared to HND hlders who have a years IT or OJT.

Perspective is important. My dad once complained about a fresh mech eng degree holder who couldnt fix his (my dad's) car. The job had to be done by an ordinary mechanic with many years experience.

when you approve it ma'am.  you are something else. always throwing muds and diving all over the place.

i expect better.  tpia, can i send u and my other sisters to go sort out this messed up society.

keeping quiet in the face of evil is itself evil and encourages evil. I myself have told you this on countless occasions.

If I see a nazi, I call him/her out. If you're supporting a nazi, I call you out.

Neither do I need to ignore someone threatening my freedom because you say you're Nigerian, from my or any tribe, or because you're black.

ikeyman00:

_{STILL DRINK ORANGE JUICE}

nazi^^

so irritating how these bloody xenophobes will always point fingers at others in order to take attention off their nazi tactics and mindset.

When will hate speech become punishable by law in Nigeria?

instead of seeing a speech therapist you love spending your time on Nairaland.

netotse:
@omo ibo

Damn You Michael Bay!

Damn You Michael Bay!

banom:
I am glad you accepted the undiniable fact that he is a scamer, Af for tribalism, i cherish the yoruba's so much, my elder sister is married to a yoruba man, yorubas are my inlaws, i dont and will never have any ill feelings against such highly educated prides of Nigeria, check post where i critisized mike okonkwo and  chris oyakhilomi and you will not believe all i said, i only decided to focus more attention on Adeboye because he is the most dubious and smartest among all of them, it takes a person who sees the  world clearer to understand the man's devilish tricks.

good for you!!!!!!

you have problems with the culture, not the people. or its with the people subtly pushing their culture. Or what is it exactly? I've lost track.



Nigerians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chaircover:
May I ask why?

just my opinion. It doesnt mean she's planning to leave her husband.

aisha2:
Doubting thomases read well before you post. She said she is a year three student iof a college of Education. I know of Gradutes who are working as maids, my neighbors maid is a graduate she is paid N15,000/ Month

unversity graduate or NCE graduate?

though N15000 per month is about the same as what some people make at entry level civil service jobs sha.

I'm assuming your neighbor's maid is only using that job as a stopgap until she gets something better?

And there are different categories of maids. Now, if underprivileged children are no longer being trafficked to work as househelps in different parts of the country, then that's an improvement. However, it sounds too good to be true.

did they make sure the twins are also from the same mother?

imo, every married Nigerian woman should have her own house (in Nigeria) as long as the funds are available. It could be a rental property.

If the husband feels his wife will disrespect him if she builds a house, then he should build one for her and put her name on the deed.

I'm referring to normal marriage relationships oh, not those ones where the husband and wife are constantly seeking each other's downfall.

0thello:
We are indeed allowed to have different opinions however those opinions can also be challenged. Even if we were playing by the rules you suggest nene1 has already decided to break them by hurling abuse at all mixed race people and all "black men" who decide to date, marry or have children with non-blacks.


I never did that, if you read all of my posts you'll know that I have not accused or generalized that all Nigerian women share nene1's views, stupidity, paranoia etc. I said that she is a rare exception and a cancer to our 21st civilization. She's just some Americanized slowpoke throwing out Americanisms like "Crabs in a bucket", "whitey lover", "colonial mentality" etc. She doesn't know any of us, she only knows that most of us do not agree with her rancid, pathetic, primitive opinions.

Trust me: she does not deserve you to be on her side, her side is an outdated, narcissistic, prejudice, miserable side, full of miserable people whom are hypocrites.

I'm not on anyone's side here- I'm simply trying to clarify the definition of Nigerianness as outlined in this thread.

Having one Nigerian parent doesnt make someone less Nigerian.



There are other threads where Nigerians and AAs are having a go at it, with various people giving their views on each other. Difference of opinion is nothing new especially on NL.

nene1:
ummm let me see, i will graduate from college at the end of this month to go to med school so that one i will go back to practice in africa. that's something we need. doctors, not people who will make half-caste children.

by the way, what does this have to do with the topic? it's not as if you are doing anything meaningful for africa. but then you're not african, you're a half-caste.

at the risk of sounding repetitive, I dont know where all these definitions are coming from, but if you have an African parent, then you're African.

Having a white parent doesnt make you less African. It will grant you some privileges (maybe) but it doesnt diminish your African identity.

Are you saying Jerry Rawlings isnt African?

This is a response to Tpia's request

I pay my housekeeper N54000 (fifty four K) per month plus medical insurance contributions, pension contributions, modern en suite bedroom in the guest wing with AC, kitchen equip ed with fridge and hotplate. I do not provide food

But what do I get from this lady.      ,  She barges into our conversations husband and I or my friends and I)'  she can"t cook plantain in little oil, according to her it must only be deepfried, (or else she burns them pitch black) she can't  pound yam, she can't iron, she talks back. And she lied during interview that she could cook and iron. I do all the cooking but once in a while I want to eat local food. (am not Nigerian)

I taught her all that she knows so far like cleaning, serving, ironing (she still struggles though)etc etc

You may ask why do I keep her,  she is the fourth in two years and she is with me for three weeks so far.  I think I pay well and derserved better service dont you think   

We are only three in my family.

Paying a "maid" N54000 which is about half the average monthly salary of a well paid medical officer in Nigeria, sounds rather far fetched, but I'll take your word for it.



lets assume then, that there are different categories of maids in Nigeria. The vast majority do NOT get the kind of monthly renumeration you're talking about here. Most times they get a stipend, and the employer promises to either put them through school or sign them up to learn a trade.

MOST Nigerian maids do not speak American English. A quick scan through Nairaland alone shows an astounding number of Nigerians who struggle with regular English, talkless suddenly developing an American lingo and casually saying things like "Hi guys" not to mention logging on the web to discuss their latest experiences as ONGOING maids.

Former maids I can understand- they may have struggled through school, gotten themselves educated and can use a computer. But most people wouldnt expect them to remain maids at that stage.

The vast majority of househelps in Nigeria are underpriviledged and have few rights. No legal protection either. They complain about their employers, their employers complain about them- its a vicious cycle.

Here's an overall picture:

Everywhere in the country, the pitiable state of children in Nigeria is evident. In the Northern part of the country, hapless student-beggars, almajiris, roam the landscape. In Lagos and other urban centres of the country, children are often to be found in markets and in the streets, engaged in trading and other strenuous activities that are well beyond their tender frames.

They have been reportedly discovered to be working in cement and stone factories, some have been discovered in brothels, sleeping with men in exchange for money that goes to their “benefactors”, while thousands are engaged as househelps and in other forms of forced labour on farms, factories and in private homes. Children are raped, maltreated and sold at the whims and caprices of depraved adults.

They are largely unprotected by the state and their rights to life, basic education and the rights not to be used for forced labour, child trade, child trafficking etc, as provided for under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) 1989, are routinely flagrantly flouted. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child that “mankind owes the child the best it has to give” has little meaning in the country. The exploitation and maltreatment of children in Nigeria have not escaped the attention of international agencies and the rest of the world.

95% of Nigerian househelps (not housekeepers) do NOT enjoy such amenities.  Many sleep on the bare floor, eat leftovers and are second class citizens in general. Many of them are aware of their status and as such, feel little incentive to conform and be a "good " servant. Not to mention the psychological trauma some went through- coming from a dirt poor home and possibly trafficked as well.
