HouseHelps...what ever happened to them

It's been 3 three weeks since my aunts house girl ran away, I know of households where house helps are maltreated but one thing i know for sure this girl was not maltreated at all, Iyabo is her name. She was treated like every other person in the house, she eats what every one eats, sits with everyone sees and has a room to her self, bathroom and toilet included.

Her reason for running off is yet unknown, she ran off with about Ten thousand Naira, her mother told my aunt not to bother herself that she will show, more like she knows where she is, even though she claims not to know her whereabouts.

Yesterday someone told my aunt She saw the runaway help selling pure water on the ever having hold-up road of Sango ota. Am wondering how she find life hawking on the street better than life sitting in a shop and eating whatever she likes.Guess we never are contented till we experience the other of life

Last week, was at another cousins house and her uncle came in with his house help in tow, the girl wanted to go. The man had brought her back to my cousins because that was where he got her from. The said house help told her boss, she was sick and the man asked what was wrong with her. Her response was that the work she was doing was too much, the man amazed ask what she does, because she does not cook for anybody or do the laundry, she said, washing the man's car once, opening the gate when the gate man is not around and sweeping the house was too much work for her and was causing her to fall sick. a week after, she told them she wanted to leave and the man told her to pack her bag and brought her to my cousins.

Another uncle's wife also went to arrest family of her runaway away house help, before the golds and money the idiot stole was returned.

House helps nowadays do not want to work for the money they earn, back in the days when you hear gist of house helps running way, what come to mind is they are been maltreated. I know sometime, the people who bring them lie to them but when you stay running away is mad, stealing properties on the way is the height of it.

My aunt is planing a trip to Sango Ota, because when she went to report the missing girls case at the station, she was told to bring the girl down for identification or whatever they called it for the case to be closed.
