Government Should Ban 'house Helps'. It's Child Labour. by Nobody: 3:58pm On Oct 29, 2013 |
This is a serious case of modern day slavery. I don't know what all these female politicians are doing that they can't effectively stop CHILD LABOUR. Yes it is child labour, these children are literally sold into slavery, their parents get some money monthly and worse still they are not sent to scholl. I call on you NAIRALANDERS to speak out against child labour. There will probably be about 500000 child labourers cum house-helps in lagos alone. It is pathetic. Governor fashola please do something about it. Pleaseee!. Han-han. 2 Likes |

Most prostitues in lagos arrive there as HOUSE HELPS only to get beaten and thrown out into the streets to fend for themselves. #say-no-to-child-labour |

The problem has gone out of hand and you can't just wish it away. No you take action by setting laws in place and enforcing them. #fight-slavery-in-nigeria |

Life isn't fair but the government should atleast do more to make life worth living for it's citizen. These children have been sold by their parents to these guardians that abuse, torture, malnurish them and do not send them to school. These children are unfortunate to be born into poor homes and have no say in the ''selling'' process. They therfore cannot demand their rights such as the rights to be educated. |

i have not seen any law effective in this country. If any law is made, it won't be upto a year, the law is forgotten and life goes on as before. The best we can do is enlighten the parents of these children. Almost all state govt primary and secondary school are free. They should forget any false promise made by the guardians. The Lagos State govt can't fight this alone 1 Like |

The Lagos State govt can't fight this alone Thanks for lending your support. Most guardians don't send these children to schools even though they are FREE!!! They sometimes are USED as shop attendants in their ''OGA'S'' shop again without being paid extra. Child labour in Nigeria under the guise of house-helps should STOP!!! Moderators please FRONTPAGE. |

True,it should be stopped,as amatter of fact,i don't support having househelp of any age even. |
Re: Government Should Ban 'house Helps'. It's Child Labour. by Nobody: 4:31pm On Oct 31, 2013 |
Yes, it should be. But the starting point is not banning. Most people don't see house help as child labor. That's the first step. Let them see how evil it is. It is all around me and when I open my mouth to speak, people look at me as if I'm crazy! |
