JOHNSON URGENTLY NEED YOUR ADVICE

Ma, my name is Johnson. (Not his real name)  I  am the third child in a family of  six children . We  were neither rich nor poor. Our father was able to  send us to a private school their school fees was ten thousand Naira only.  We were eating very well then. We had all the basics of life. Then one day , our father died, just like that without being sick. Our life began to change. Our mother could no longer take core of our education. Feeding became very hard for us. Friends advised my mother to share us to people who will help her to train us.  My mother then gave five of us out to different people. She kept the last born who was only three years old then.  I, Johnson was given to one of my fathers relative as a store boy. My uncle as we used to call him then  deals on motor parts. We go to the shop, sell and still go home to do house chores. The agreement was that I will serve him for eight years and he will settle me to start my own business . I was thirteen year when our  father died. We stayed very well without any trouble for seven years .infact, I was his wife's favorite servant . Because  I can pound yam very well. Every day , when we come back from the shop,  madam will tell  me to go and pound yam.  When we entered the eight years that they will settle me, their character began to change towards me. If they did not accuse me of stealing, they will accuse me of one thing or the other. Six months to my settlement day, my master, Mr Gabriel asked me to go back to my mother that he will come and see us. We waited for almost three months and Mr Gabriel  did not come. My mother deceieded to visit him to find out why he sent me back to her.  My master , mr Gabriel told my mother that I am a thief, that I stole more than three million Naira from  his business . That he will not settle me unless I produce that money. My widowed mother cried out her eyes but it did not change matter.  Not only did my master refuse to settle me but he gave me order not to stay in the same town he is staying, and also that I should not come to the same market where he is selling too because I will divert his customers.  Ma ,you know that I am saying the truth. I came to you with my mother for advice. You offered  to help but we could not come back to you again. When I saw your blog, I deceieded to narrate my story to the public so that they can advice me.  Please, my friends, how will  I go about this matter.?             ( note... I only changed  the names of people in this write up. , I am publishing it the way I received it .) happy reading.

  4. Wetin we go call this one. this is wickedness in the highest place. I will never allow anyone I know to give up their children to another. And remember uncle a labourer is due his wages. Even if you don't pay now you will pay in future and in a different currency. So fess up and pay this you man you stole 8 years of his life. Tufiakwa

  5. I always advice my friends, any agreement should be in writing. If this agreement was written at least we can start from somewhere by making him settle you for the good 7 years you served him. It is difficult to prove you stole no money. Note is your word against his. May God help you start afresh

  6. That is the life we are living, my advice is to take heart and beleive in God that He is able to settle you in a more better way than ur master would.
