Shamu, sad to say, your English betrays your educational background and your low-life talk! Spend quality time in educating yourself, and you will change your posture of how you see yourself and others.

Your world will change because you have changed your thoughts. And this will be the beginning of being a thinker, an optimist who can promote a culture of creativity, and sensitivity for the betterment of the society you live.

Werempeh, you could do a lot about it. If you do not want to be part of the solution, simply shut your big mouth. The information was provided to caution all others who may want to travel to the Mideast on similar missions. It is to inform the general Public how much is intentionally distorted to lure them into such treacherous enslavement.

If you claim you already knew what other African women are enduring in the Mideast, what have you done to save them from that ordeal? If you would not do anything to help them, this information is a little insight into the predicament awaiting potential similar job-seekers in that part of the World, and could save a life or two.

So, shelve your cynical attack on the writer who, unlike you, has chosen to warn all from undertaking such a dangerous journey.

We are often misled, lied to, deceived, tricked, you name it, with promises of heavenly luxury and humongous wealth-making opportunities in those areas where some unsuspecting victims would even sell all their Earthly belongings to pay an unscrupulous Agent to take them. Then, the sordid, bitter truth hits us. So, this information is priceless, and should be taken seriously.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Blame our stupid leaders, who have no idea how to create employment and use our hard earned foreign currency to import guinea fowls that fly to neighboring countries. What a shame.

But the victims and their families in Ghana also refuse to research most of these agents before believing those deals that look "too good".

Actually, there are similar cases raised simultaneously in several African countries including Ethiopia, Somali, Senegal, Mauritania, Mali where women have been maltreated and raped in most cases in Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand, we have been warning since a long time now, in fact for about 6 years that such situations are normal in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar.

The men in that region are secual deviants who don't hesitate to rape their own kid daughter and then kill them. They will do any stupid thing with black ladies....

Mr Chronicle Writer

These stories "usually" from the Gulf are often too good to be true.

Did you per chance look at the ladies' passports?

It is true, like any other place, that Maids get molested by the employers etc. But sincerely, working in Dubai as a Househelp gives you much security:

~ A studio apartment (for you only)

~ You prepare your own meal

~ You have a day off (normally) per week

~ A fixed salary of between AED1500 to AED2500 per month.

Compared to thousands of other lower-level workers, these workers are "camped" into as much as 8 persons per room etc.

Hence these stories about "WE WERE TREATED LIKE THIS AND THAT" remains very much untrue in majority of the cases.

what are you talking about? My aunt has been working in Lebanon for over 20 years. you won't believe the number of women she has rescued from those wicked employers in Beirut. My aunt is a friend to the Ghana consulate in Lebanon who happens to be Lebanese. so whenever any of the women has a problem they call my aunt for help. If you'very never witnessed that before, don't say the stories are false

A woman in Saudi Arabia hired a new maid last year but she wasn’t doing a great job. So she called her into the study and told her that she was sorry but was going to have to let her go. She tipped her an extra $20 and thanked her for her services. As she was leaving the maid threw a $10 bill to the family dog, Lucy. The woman asked the maid, “What was that for?” She replied, “Can’t forget my helper! Lucy has a great tongue, and always helped me do the dishes!!!”

“O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you….A people asked such before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-102)

Such a passage hardly inculcates a spirit of free inquiry and intellectual curiosity. And this is the wave of the future: since the Western government and media elites are now dedicated to avoiding offending Muslims at all costs, and even asking theological questions can offend Muslims, we all just must accept the dictates of our new overlords without question. Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail should have known better.
“For seeking answers on Islam, Muslim gets charged with blasphemy,” by Zurairi Ar, Malay Mail Online, May 29, 2015:
KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 — “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” is the first part of the shahadah, a declaration of faith for Muslims, which has its origins in a verse in the Quran.
“I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God,” is the second part, but unlike the first, it does not appear in any of the holy scriptures.
So, where did it come from?
This was the question on the mind of Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail, 53, when he sought clarification in 2013 from religious teachers on the origin of a practice considered as one of the key pillars of Islam.
The former businessman from Perak said he raised that question to several religious teachers, including scholars in the Ipoh mufti office, the Perak religious authorities and even state mosque imams. Many of these clerics, he said, were familiar with him as he met with them regularly for the past 15 years.
None, however, were able to answer him, so Wan Sulaiman stopped asking a year later.
But for seeking answers, Wan Sulaiman earned the attention of the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIP). He was summoned several times in 2014 by the authority, whose officers he claimed tried to dissuade him from posing his questions and to convince him to abandon several Quranic practices he has adopted.
The matter came to a head on January 21 this year when state religious enforcers raided his home in Ipoh and confiscated his handwritten personal notes, in addition to screening his personal computer and mobile phone.
On the same day, Wan Sulaiman was charged in the Ipoh Shariah High Court under Section 15 of the Perak Shariah Criminal Enactment 1992, with “mocking, ridiculing or insulting Quranic or hadith texts”.
According to a copy of his charge sheet sighted by Malay Mail Online, the Perak religious enforcers claimed that Wan Sulaiman possessed notes, some of which were hung on his wall, that allegedly “ridicule” the hadith — the collections of Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and deeds.
Wan Sulaiman, however, insisted that the notes were meant only for his personal use.
The prosecution also accused him of disputing authentic hadith for failing to interpret the Quran, and of rejecting the shahadah as taught by Muhammad by allegedly only accepting the first part.
He was also accused of translating the terms “fajar prayers” and “wusto prayers” by “using his own intellect without referring to the Prophet’s hadith”.
His case was set to be heard on May 21, but it was postponed to July 2. If guilty, Wan Sulaiman can be fined not more than RM5,000, jailed not more than three years, or both….

Is it now that you realise that Ghana has been sold back into bondage?

The 1966 coup made sure of that. That was what that coup was all about.

And who carried it out? The NLM and its Council of military /police men - the NLC.

We celebrated, we sung songs of praise, we banned the CPP and barred Ghanaians from ever possessing Dr Nkrumah's pictures.

Good for us. We have seen nothing yet.
Worse is to come.

We have replaced good men and women for "kalabule" citizens. Very few Ghanaians are truthful and swill not cheat. Cheating the state in what ever job one finds himself and then tries to blame the politician for the malaise.

WE ARE BEHAVING LIKE TE OSTRICH HOPING THAT THE STORM WILL BLOW OVER.

Oh Ghana!!!!!!!!! When? When will this type of independence end? people belong to a political party and think that they are the only ones fit to govern. Anything else is unacceptable.
Ghana is there and will be there after all these parties are dead and gone. The only question is, what will they live for the generation of Ghanaians that would no nothing of our true past history and how we have mismanaged the situation to land them in their predicament?

We are so busy running away from our homelands and building or maintaining what we AFricans displaced by the slave raids, have built., that we dont take time to build up africa and make it the place that we can work and thrive and express ourselves fully. We have to pay attention and change this. stop blaiming conditions on the politicians and change our situations so taht we are not suffering trying to go out and work for someone else when we have all the wealth we need. Sun for power, soil for every food, brains to make and manufacture anything we need. WE have to open our minds to our wealth and join together to make our homeland and our existance something wonderful as it truely is. WE have the capacity of God within us. Let us use it. for the sake of this young lady and others and our men and our future children too, globally.
