Google the meaning of Underemployment before comparing the wickedness & crime against humanity happening in Libya with Nigeria unemployment.

Its not a rubbish post. He has a point. They may not be totally comparable but there are similarities.

I've heard countless real life stories and news of horror maltreatments and beating of househelps over time till they eventually slumped and died. Isn't that slavery enough?

Those news stories that even made it to nairaland of servants burnt with hot electric iron, scorged with live wire till skin peels all over, beaten with iron rod till skull is broken.

Are these not slavery enough?

Is it until it gets to Libya and only then it becomes slavery.
all these househelp stories.......the parents are the people to blame why give your child to a stranger........parents should stop giving out their children for the purpose of doing househelp..........even if you are poor let your children stay with you and suffer with you.........rather than giving them out as househelp when they may be abused............not everyone has a kind heart to ensure welfare of another person's child

Individual pockets of wickedness in Nigeria is by no means comparable to the inhuman treatment of Africans & by extension Nigerians across the lawless country called Libya.

Hence, no correlation.

Everyone is talking about slave trade in Libya...how horrible it is, most of them sending messages on CNN are Nigerians, speaking about the inhumane treatment of humans being sold as slaves, but we don't consider the slavery we constantly perpetuate here in Nigeria on a daily basis:

- Your employees do their work but you delay their salaries and even owe them...while your family plans a Christmas vacation trip...don't send messages on CNN, you're a slave trader.

- Your Cleaning staff earns less than the minimum wage for cleaning your establishment everyday...you still owe them and you're here shouting "Libya!!! What nonsense"...my dear, don't shout too much, you are a slave trader.

- Your maid faithfully takes care of your kids and home when you're out and you treat her harshly at every little mistake...verbally or physically abusing her...madam, your home is a slave trade market

- Your kids go to the best schools n wear the best clothes, smelling fine, but the little girl whose mother you begged to have her come help you goes to a horrible public school where she learns "I is" and "they was". She wears clothes you would never give your kids, but you keep commenting on the Libya slavery...my sister, keep your comment in your chest... you're the leader of Slave traders Association of Nigeria.

- You have a medical officer working at your clinic morning, night and on weekends, and you pay him an unreasonable salary in a bid to cut cost, after all, he's a young doctor...forget that you didn't buy him, Slave traders' Clinic should be on your sign post.

- You are inconsiderate with your subordinates, treat them rudely...your nurses, your house officers, your resident doctors, etc, like they are rats compared to you, and they are now afraid of you...pls don't be angry o, but just check if the name of your unit is Slave trade medical unit.


At the heart of slavery is not the buying and selling; at the heart of slavery is the ugly and despicable sense of superiority, that you are better, higher, more deserving of respect and praise, than one who by reason of circumstance is at your mercy. Don't forget, no condition is permanent. The prisoner today might be the Prime Minister tomorrow...so while we decry the slave trade going on in Libya, let's silently fix the slave trade going on in our lives and change humanity by first changing our mindsets.

So you intend to remain quite about slavery in Libya, because there is slavery in APC Nigeria?

Nope. We are only using it as an opportunity to discuss the wickedness at home.
