I was 16 years old when I became a parent.
Not to my own child. To my little brother.
I gave up university. I gave up my friends. I gave up my entire twenties.
For 14 years nobody said thank you. Not once.
Then one morning my brother knocked on my door.
And everything I had buried for 14 years came completely undone…..
The gateman in my compound is paid 30,000 Naira a month. For that amount, he is expected to man the gate, wash cars, clean the compound, and pump water. When I moved in, I found this arrangement absolutely ridiculous.
He recently had a confrontation with a tenant’s wife who demanded to know why her car hadn’t been washed. When he calmly explained that washing cars wasn't part of his original job description, she flared up.
I have advocated for an upward review of his salary several times, but the other tenants have consistently opposed it.
The irony is incredible. We condescendingly call these men "common gatemen," underpay them, and still expect optimal performance at all times. Yet, the moment that "common gateman" isn't there to do the work, we suddenly realize how tedious and essential those jobs actually are.
We need to start treating these people with the dignity they deserve. We shouldn't just appreciate them because they make our lives easier—we should do it because, technically, our safety is in their hands.
