Oh wow! This is a revelation to some nannies already. Some would start tightening their belts to act.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...

Wicked people fi perish with de power of Jah.
I no understand 🙄🙄🙄
DeleteYeah man, dem are wickied people ina we country .
DeleteYou are just deceiving your tribal marks and accent by typing like this. When you want to communicate, you know what to do.
DeleteIf that will listen, they don't want to travel out and get a new care giver to avoid heavy bills, with this now, they have to choose between heaven bill and prison .
ReplyDeletePeople should be careful with all this house maid or nanny abroad work because this gutls now know how to report to authorities even if you dong harm them bringing them to work here alone na modern day slavery
ReplyDeletePeople should STOP enslaving others just because they have more, pay living wages or do your work yourself. There is no law against having maids and drivers anywhere, what the law seems to do is prevent the oppression of the less privileged by setting minimum wages. I make the equivalent of N hundreds of million per year BUT I cannot afford to hire a full time maid in the US so I get a cleaning lady once a month who drives a nice car & has her own home (because there are laws to make people pay her right). Justice and fairness are absent in Nigeria. Just because they are hungry doesn’t mean you should give them just a loaf per day if you can afford 3 meals per day. There is a reason even millionaires here do not have full time maids and drivers. They will be jailed if they pay below minimum wage. What part of fairness do Nigerians don’t get?
Delete2:23, you made solid points and I hope the bill being cooked by Akin Alabi may address some of these issues.
DeleteMy concern however is the Nigerian reality. If families earning one hundred and fifty thousand naira a month were not permitted to have live-in help, the opportunity to escape stark poverty by this option or learning a trade is shut for the majority of our population. The staff most can afford would not be able to afford to commute to their homes daily and would them have to find accommodation in crowded slums. Where their salaries are untaxed and can be collected in bulk to finance business or a trade they would have stimulated the economy and ended up with peanuts. The opportunity for education like JAMB/GCSE training or apprenticeships like sewing, makeup etc won't be there. The women who are aided by these helpers will have to stay home to mind starving kids and financial stability becomes shaky in single earner poor homes.
We have a situation in which small businesses, poor retirees and steady minimum wage earners are the bulk of informal employers. You and I cannot take up the hundreds of billions of naira that trickles down to these lesser privileged citizens so I think it may be better to have a bill and state by state, have agencies that protect them from being abused or overworked where they are earning or learning.
Nigeria's lower and middle class cannot afford the energy and machinery to aid work like in the West. This is a very serious discussion I hope other BVs can contribute positively to as you have done.
Some maid can be heartless
ReplyDeleteThank you sir
ReplyDeleteHmmmm........ he made a valid point.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir for this revelation.
ReplyDeletei pray they listen.
ReplyDeletePay your nannies minimum wage❗Don't wait until they report you abroad.
ReplyDeleteI Nigeria, pay them the specified minimum wage or more.
If you take them abroad, be sure to pay them the stipulated minimum wage of that country. Stop converting the foreign currency to Naira equivalent in you mind and think, Oh, £14 per hour is huge! Your nannies deserve better ❗
Stop saying thank you sir for this information Senator Shehu Sani posted.
Can a worker in an organisation also file asylum for being paid below minimum wage when visiting on a course or official assignment? Why then is it that domestic staff who are on a different short term visa are then to be paid minimum wage of the country being visited? The case of the judge may be different because she is living there but for visitors? I think Senator Shehu may need to study this case a bit more.
ReplyDeleteTo avoid such, let each person save their money and travel as they please. There are many people who offer childminding services in the west. It may mean people with young children limiting themselves to other holiday spots or traveling with the relatives who enjoy the children and want to come along for the trip.
Then they should do their work whenever they are abroad. Many of us raised our kids in the diaspora with no maids or drivers. We worked and raised kids teaching them to do household chores and take care of themselves very early. Many of our kids became independent by the age of 10, cooking, cleaning, and doing all household chores. Our kids start driving by 16 and are fully capable of all activities by 18 when they reach adulthood. You see some 🇳🇬spoilt brats on SM who expect the maid (sometimes a minor) to clean after them, cook for them etc. it is slavery unless you compensate them adequately and they are not minors. Anything else is slavery and oppression.
