A Nigerian lady, Gloria Bright, 32, recently arrived in Nigeria after being rescued from Lebanon where she was a home help. Bright’s case is similar to that of another Nigerian, Omolola Ajayi, 23, who was also recently rescued by the Nigerian government from the Middle Eastern country. Both of them said they were recruited to teach English in the country, only for them to be turned to home helps.
I went there to work; I was told that I would be working as an English teacher there. The arrangement was that I would be teaching their children English, but unfortunately when I got there, I was doing the work of a home help. I signed up to teach for two years; that was agreement we reached. But I could not even wait for the two years to be over before I cried out for help because it was not easy in Lebanon.
I was not doing any work in Nigeria; I decided to go to Lebanon because I could not get a job in Nigeria. I thought it would be better to try my luck outside the country. I am married and I have two children; things were not okay for us. I had to go out and do something so that we could feed and I could sponsor the education of my children. If I had got a job here, I wouldn’t have gone to Lebanon.My experience in Lebanon was not nice; it’s a place where they take advantage of girls and women.
They are supposed to pay some people $200 and some $1,000 but they don’t pay these salaries because they didn’t have dollars in Lebanon. It was a problem there; they had problem with dollars. They were not paying most of their housekeepers.No, I was not paid. I was not paid any money. There was no money.I will advise Nigerian women to stay in their country; it is our fatherland. I want them to know that life here is not as difficult as it is over there.
I also want to appeal to the government to help us get jobs so that we can stay here and enjoy in our fatherland. That way, we will have no reason to go to foreign countries to look for jobs. We want to stay here to enjoy what God has given to us; no one should go to a foreign land to suffer.All rights reserved.
