Dear MIMsters: How Do I Save My Dear Nanny From This Dilemma?

My nanny has lived with me for over 2 years. Her parents sent her to me because they heard I am the sister of a Reverend sister. I’ve never met them but we speak on the phone. They haven’t been able to see their daughter so far because I started schooling in a faraway state and took her along.

4 days ago, her mum told me to send her daughter’s picture and even ours so she can see us, which I did. I sent 30 pictures which included my small family’s. I saw that the pictures were received and seen but surprisingly, her mum told me they hadn’t seen any pictures. Rather, they said they saw two stones. They called me via Whatsapp, meaning they know how to use a smartphone. I got angry and told her mum that they are lying and also sent the message below to them,

“I cover those pics with the precious blood of JESUS, whatever mystique the devil is planning to do with them, Holy Ghost strike their minds and physical body into pieces.”

The woman who brought the child subsequently told me that they called, telling her that they asked me to send their daughter’s picture so they can see her, but I said I will not send it, that they want to use the pictures for rituals.

Meanwhile, after sending those pictures, I showed my nanny the display photo of the person who had the number I sent the pictures to and she said, ‘Mummy, you have sent the pictures already?’ and I said, ‘Yes.’ She then told me the man ‘is a very wicked man and likes to cause confusion in the family’. She added that he is not her biological dad but her father’s oldest brother.

Now, her mum is asking me to send her daughter back. She is like my first child and I think she’ll be better off with me. She’s enrolled at a good school and is not ready to go back to her village either because she’s grown very fond of me. I also love her and I’m ready to do my best for her.

Her mum called me again this morning and told me that if I don’t send her back, she will come and take her. Please dearest, help me out with your ideas on what to do.

  • They are out to frustrate that girl’s destiny. Load your phone and let her tell them herself that she isn’t coming back and that if they dare come to pick her, she’ll run away and they won’t see her ever again

  • This one pass be careful oh. If I were you, I won’t send her back, they should do the worse they can do but not without praying very hard and ceaselessly. My fear is not her going and not returning to you, but her going and loosing her life. Both of you should please pray hard because even if you release her, this people won’t leave you alone especially now that they have pictures of you and your family.

  • 30 pictures that’s too much, return their child and have peace, she will come back if she want to

  • That child isn’t yours and if she’s still a minor, you’re in a bigger trouble if they report you to human rights. Let her go back for now, you don’t want to start a war that you can’t win.

  • You don’t have to send her back.first you have to pray seriously about this.and let the girl herself speak with her mum and tell her her stand.the devil is like a roaring lion.if you do not want to truncate the girl’s destiny keep her with you.there is nothing the mum can do.except if the girl herself decide to go then do not Stop her

  • No matter how attached you both are to each other,the truth remains you are not her mum or relative!so rather than fight them, I suggest you take her back with goodies and phone for her own parents to communicate with them and not through a media, if they see how well their child is and she tells good of you to them, am sure they will bring her back,if she is a Nanny that means she is not a small girl and knows what is right for her
    Your holding unto her might seem selfish that u r doing that bc you want someone to do your chores for you
    If they refuses to bring her back after u take her home,well its their loss and not yours and they will learn it the hard way in the future
    Take care

  • The Child is not yours, n u cant posses wat is not yours. It will seem not to be easy , but wen one door closes, better one opens. U never knw d battle God is fighting for n your family. So if dey insist, free ur self from them n look up to God, the better will come. #Itkeepsgettingbetter# .
