A Nigerian woman, Nneka Obani, popularly known as Lolo Obani, has shared her thoughts on how to manage domestic workers effectively. According to her, the key to ensuring that house helps stay longer lies in keeping the relationship strictly professional and avoiding undue familiarity or kindness.
In a Facebook post, Obani explained:
