A Twitter user has sparked conversation online after sharing her views on the use of underage children as domestic workers. According to Vivian Ifeoma, anyone willing to use a child as a house help is already displaying the kind of mindset that can lead to abuse.
Comparison to Teen Marriage
She also compared the practice to adult men marrying teenagers, arguing that both situations often involve a desire for control and dominance. "Anyone who can use an underage child as a house help is capable of abusing them. It's the same as when a man marries a teenager," she wrote.
Mixed Reactions Online
Her comments drew mixed reactions, with users agreeing that children should not be placed in such situations. Some supported her stance, while others defended the practice as cultural or economic necessity. The debate highlights ongoing concerns about child labor and protection in Nigeria.
