So I told him and he beg I should stay but I say no, I can't stay if u can't trust me ,,, I left ..the day I was leaving he was supposed to give me my salary for that month he did not and I did not ask till today.”

“If you still pay your domestic staff less than 100k in 2023, you should be in jail. You should serve minimum of 10years without parole. Nigerians are slave drivers and wicked minded. That’s why some of these people than made small change cannot stay abroad because their lazy asss cannot afford a nanny. Stop taking advantage of people, if you don’t have money to keep a maid pls do your chores yourself.”

“Driver into car wash. Apprentice into house boy. They looks of those doing this job could tell you we are so inhumane.”
