Housemaids In The Hands Of Brutal Mistresses

In the past, housemaids were treated with care, love and respect by their mistresses so that their parents and relatives would be happy and allow them remain with their mistresses. But that appears to have changed. Some maids are now treated like slaves and common criminal by their bosses despite child rights act which protects them from dehumanization, torture and all forms of inhuman treatment.

In Ebonyi State, it is common to see a woman maltreating the househelp. Only two weeks ago, a policewoman and nursing mother, Mrs. Okochi Joy Ugo, poured hot melon soup and boiling water on her 15 year-old- maid, Chinyere Igwe at Mile 50 Abakaliki.
Okochi, who was delivered of a set of twins three weeks ago through a caesarean section, bathed Chinyere, a Primary five pupil with hot soup and poured hot water on her for not making the soup the way she wanted it.
Okochi’s husband was also reported to have beaten up the housemaid immediately he returned from work when his wife reported Chinyere’s disobedience, not minding that she suffered a first degree burn on her
upper back. However, the man didn’t know that the wife had punished the maid.
Narrating her ordeal to New Telegraph, Chinyere told our reporter that she was adopted by her madam as a housemaid. She noted that her mother gave her out to the Okochi’s family because of her poor financial status as her father had died.
My father is late, while my mother is a poor farmer in our village. On that fateful day, my madam asked her own mother, who was staying with us in the house, to join me in cooking melon soup. But disagreement came up when my madam’s mum insisted that I should cook the soup alone.
“I agreed to this as an obedient child. But problem came when my madam came to the kitchen and wanted to alter the method I use regularly to cook melon soup. As for me, I believe the soup will be more delicious if the grinded melon is mixed with water in a plate before pouring it into the pot. That was my usual method of cooking the soup. But this time around, my madam objected to this, insisting that, I should fry the melon instead, before pouring it into the pot, but I refused, as that wasn’t my method of cooking Egusi soup. In anger, my madam came to the kitchen, carried the hot pot of soup and threw it at me. I dodged it but it landed on my back.
“When she threw the hot soup at me, a small portion fell on her leg and she rushed to the bathroom to pour cold water on it to avoid any burn. As if the punishment I received wasn’t enough, my madam picked up an iron to hit me and ordered me to ‘stoop down’ (place one of my fingers on the ground and raise one leg up at the back). I refused to do this as my burnt upper back was hurting me so badly. She shouted at me and asked who the hell I was to oppose her orders. I begged for mercy. She didn’t listen to my plea. Instead of pardoning me, she rushed into her bedroom and brought out her official teargas, threatening to open it in my nose at close range and I started crying and begging for forgiveness. She dropped the teargas and rushed to the kitchen again to get hot water at boiling point on the stove. She poured this on me. She ordered me to remove the cloth on my body. She earlier gave me the cloth as a gift. I removed it quickly to avoid further punishment.” Chinyere added: “When madam’s husband came back from work, he also beat me up, slapping and kicking me. He did not know that his wife poured hot soup and boiling water on me earlier because it was in the night and there was no electricity. Later, he saw my back with serious injuries and asked who did that to me. I told him it was madam. He asked me what happened and I told him that it was due to disagreement in the cooking method of egusi soup. My madam’s husband’s phone rang and he begged that he had to rush out to attend to something important apologising to me before leaving. He regretted beating me as he confessed that he didn’t know I had sustained such a big injury on my back. When madam’s husband left the house, she still continued punishing me. It was God that saved me from her hands that night.” Bad enough, Chinyere was not taken to the hospital for medical treatment by her policewoman boss, and her condition has worsened as the injury on her upper back is spreading and fast decaying. This prompted officials of the state’s Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development to storm Mrs. Okochi’s house to rescue Chinyere.
Speaking to reporters after rescuing the 15-year-old housemaid, the Director, Child Welfare in the Ministry, Godwin Igwe, expressed dismay that a policewoman, who should protect lives and properties of the people should be the one maltreating a teenager put in her care in such dehumanizing manner.
“The treatment meted on this child is the height of man’s inhumanity to fellow man because the young girl sustained serious burn and she was deliberately not taken to the hospital for treatment. The policewoman has been using honey as treatment instead of taking the injured girl to the hospital for proper treatment. This is a mother that has her own children.

IN the absence of any other legal interpretation, the embattled General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Church, Prof. Paul Emeka, has claimed that he remains the authentic General Superintendent of the church recognised by government, the court and the constitution.
He made the disclosure at the 2015 professorship graduation ceremony of the United Bible University, Lagos last Saturday, where he bagged a certificate in theology.
“We are the authentic GS,” he said, recognizing the existence of factions in the church, when he added: “We are in the process of resolving it.”
A letter dated March 6, 2014 entitled: “Re: Rev. Prof. Paul Emeka, former General Superintendent, Assemblies of God, Nigeria,” signed by Rev. Dr. John Ikoni, Rev. Dr. Chidi Okoroafor and Rev. Dr. Vincent Alaje, the General Secretary, Acting General Superintendent and General Treasurer respectively accused Prof. Emeka of being autocratic in behaviour, financial mismanagement, abuse of power and above all taking the church to court.
Emeka last Saturday urged people with means to assist education generally and especially Bible candidates and students to aspire higher, arguing that if a pastor or an evangelist is verse in the Bible, he will interpret it correctly.
He said: “That will take care of so many errors that exist today in the society,” he noted, arguing that a good interpretation of the bible will help develop the society in all ramifications.
Asked how his new studies would help douse the crisis in the AGC, he said: “I am not existing for that controversy. I am existing for a larger society, and I feel my world does not begin and end with AG in particular.”
He intends to, through the crisis, prove his innocence and make Nigeria bigger, “so, my mindset does not focus on any crisis. I didn’t read for AG; I read for Nigeria, Africa and the entire world.”
Taking a cursory look at the state of education in the country, Emeka decried that the sector is struggling, urging governments at every level to pay more attention to the sector by paying teachers, injecting more funds for research and other necessary needs of lecturers.
He maintained that many Nigerian universities are glorified secondary schools, stressing that the government has the means, “let it pay attention to the needs so that we can compete favourably well with our counterparts outside Nigeria.”
The institute’s Director of Studies, Prof. Kunle Macaulay, warned ministers of the gospel to desist from using worldly devices including cultism and mysticism as means of propagating the gospel, noting that what such Christian leaders are doing is deceitful.
Macaulay assured that the Bible School teaches undiluted word of God in Nigeria, and that it remains the best. “The graduands can attest to that.”
