Never bite the finger that feeds us

MY HOUSE HELP 

When people talk about madams being wicked to their house helps , I laugh . 

Do you even know what  some of this house helps do ? . 

I do not ever support a person maltreatmenting another human but sometimes , madams never get to tell what this people do to them . 

I will tell my story .  

" You are leaving this house today  nneka " ... I said to her 

The atmosphere was heated . I have had enough . I  am done with this . 

Nneka is my house help of 5 years . 

I brought her from the village after her father died leaving behind her mother with 7 children . She was only 15 when she came . When I brought her , she looked extremely mal nourished . Not eating well and tedious farm work made her look like a 12 years old . 

I feed and cared for her like my child. If I didn't tell you she wasn't my blood , you wouldn't even know . Nneka turned 20 this year . But I started noticing a difference in her when she became 18 . 

" Which house " ? She glared at me , folded her hands and looked me straight in the eye   ." I go nowhere " 

she sat down . 

"  let me say this , I will leave this house when Your husband or rather my baby comes back and ask  me to leave.  

If he says to go then , it's fine . If he says not to go , what can I do ? .... She gestured arrogantly . 

I was beyond shocked . 

" Don't provoke me woman .. or you may be the one to leave the house " . ...

 She stood up , hissed at me and walked into the room .

I slumped into the chair .  

My husband has a lot of explaining to do .

skinning alive of a corrupt judge, Sisamnes, in the year 500BC.

A 16th century painting showing the skinning alive of a corrupt judge, Sisamnes, in the year 500BC. 

Sisamnes was a corrupt royal judge at the time of Cambyses ll in Persia. 

It was discovered that he took a bribe in court and passed an unfair judgement. As a consequence the king ordered that he be arrested for his corruption and ordered that he be skinned alive. Before passing judgement the king asked Sisamnes who he wished to nominate as his successor. Sisamnes, in his greed, chose his son, Otanes. 

The king agreed and appointed Otanes  to replace his father. He subsequently passed judgement and ordered that Sisamnes removed skin should be used to upholster the seat on which the new judge would sit in court to remind him of the potential consequences of corruption. 

Otanes, in his deliberations, was forced to always remember that he was always sitting on the skin of his executed father. This helped to ensure fairness and equity in all his hearings, deliberations and sentences.

procedures and requirements to meet before one starts wearing the Cassock.

Normally, there are procedures and requirements to meet before one starts wearing the Cassock.

When I got admitted into the seminary, we went through a series of physical and mental evaluations comprising of thorough medical assessment, psychological assessment, and even our family medical histories were checked.

Then, there was the spiritual part. . .prayer, fasting, mediation, and discernment. There were days we spoke to no one, we spent time in silence and prayers. 

There was also the academic part. You must be above average at least.

During our investiture, the bishop came. It was a very special and solemn ceremony. The bishop prayed for us and blessed our vestments. 

For a seminarian, the proper vestment for mass is cassock, sash surplice, and biretta. (Though sash and Biretta are now almost optional or depending on congregation and dioceses.)

It took me the next eight years and some months before I was ordained a deacon. That eight years was no joke. A day in the seminary is like a thousand elsewhere. You can ask anyone in the seminary.

At every new office, an addition or a change of Vestment is made.

As a deacon, my liturgical vestment was Soutane (Cassocks), Amice, Alb, Cincture, Stole, and Dalmatic. (Deacon Stole is worn from left shoulder crossing through, while the dalmatic looks short in comparison to the Priest’s chasuble.)

Then after nine years of my studies, and having been found qualified by my superiors, I was ordained a priest. The way I wear my Stole changed. I no longer cross it one-sided. The Chasuble was added to my liturgical vestments as it replaces the Dalmatic.

To be a Bishop is another process. They do not just appoint you a Bishop randomly. You must be at least 35 years of age and have spent about 5 years as a priest. There are other requirements though. 

After one is ordained a bishop, there will be changes to the person's vestments and also lots of additions. His Sash, Cassock, and Birreta will change to purple. Then, there is the Crozier, Mitre, Skullcap, Bishop Ring, and Pectoral Cross.

Then, if he is made Archbishop, he adds yet another vestment called the Pallium.

The vestments priests and bishops wear are not for show; they have great significance. People should learn to respect this fact. 

I do not think I will go out to wear a lawyer's wig or a soldier's uniform and pose as a lawyer or soldier when I am not one. Well, unless it is a drama. . . even at that, there are some lines that should not be crossed.

Note: I took time to put this forth so you know. You may save the post or share it so as to have it handy on your timeline. You may need it one day.

📷I have tried to give some notes in each of the pictures below.
