I have experienced this too, and found out sometimes the subtle approach isn’t effective. We had this naija childminder that stunk up the whole house, if you opened her room, it's like a tear gas has exploded in your face. However this girl is the neatest (the type that baths first thing in the morning and last thing at night) and best cleaner of all the childminders/aupairs etc we have used (still thought about her last night and how efficiently she cleaned, compared to this our new aupair that thinks changing the bathroom mats means ‘clean bathroom’, thinks i no get eye!) So back to the naija minder, I had run out of deodorant spray in my room, and went to pick one under the stairs where we store stuffs. I used that opportunity to give her one too, so its like ‘coz I’m taking one, you too take’ but wetin, dis girl just keep am for her drawer dey mince the thing. One day we (hubby, sister and I) got talking got talking about this dear situation, Apparently, my sister had also bought her deodorant on day 2 of her(my sister’s) visit, just coz of the whiff. Now my husband cant stand BO at all, he imagines the slightest whiff off himself, as such he goes through 1 can of sure in a week, basically wasting it, coz he sprays not just the ball joint of his armpit, but the skin around torso and arm (story for another day), so you can imagine how ODD he is. He was livid coz he dropped her and the kids with his car, and he said he had to open all 4 windows of the car for a long while in freezing weather just to try and get the stench out. I decided to bite the bull by the horn and kuku tell her to face, but before I had the chance save her from this misery, we had a major fall out which resulted to me walking her out of the house. Unfortunately this is a girl that has just moved to the UK and hopes to make it good, so the childminding was to be interim (roof overhead, free food and extra money) but imagine how that smell could limit her success, in addition to her ‘I cant take constructive criticism' syndrome which eventually led to our fall out. She claims she went to LASU (the one that isn’t via JAMB) yet through all her life passage, no one has told her!!! |

Efemena_xy: Efe, she does not get it. That woman stinks like hell. I received a perfume as Christmas gift (I hope not for BO ![]() Perfumes and deodorants are my weakness. I have to smell nice, I cannot afford to lose friends because I stink to high heavens. |

In situations whereby you feel the person may feel insulted or end up opicking offence, i think placing an anonymous (with your voice changed of course) or sending an anonymous typed note or anonymously pining a note under their car wiper may be an option. In such a case, you will be very direct and let the person know how they have made fun of due to their body odour. Personally, if i have a flaw and my friends or closest friend knows about it and keeps quiet in the name of not hurting me, i will be fury as hell with them for not saying it because they are supposed to be my friends. But everyone is not the same, as some people will feel offended. |
