Dad Employs His 6yr-old Daughter, Her Job Descriptions Causes Mixed Reactions

Cursory: A ‘thoughtful’ father, Kachi Ogbonna has employed his six-year-old daughter, offering her weekly pay for specific jobs. The initiative has garnered mixed reactions on social media.

Kachi Ogbonna, a Nigerian father, has given his six-year-old daughter, Sophia Ogbonna, the opportunity to earn money by offering her a job within his corporation.

In a Facebook post, he shared the employment letter, appointing Sophia as the Family Support Assistant (FSA) with a weekly pay of N1,000.

Kachi had promised his daughter that she would have the chance to start earning money by taking on specific responsibilities in the household as she turns six.

“…It is one of the promises I made her when the countdown to her sixth birthday started. I promised her that I will offer her the opportunity to start earning money by taking up more specific responsibilities in the house.

“At six, I want her to begin to develop a sense of responsibility. She needs to know that if she don’t do this thing it will probably not be done,” he wrote.

The employment letter, dated July 21, 2023, outlined Sophia’s responsibilities, which include washing all the plates used in the house daily, sweeping the house daily, arranging the children’s room, and organizing daddy’s books regularly.

Her mother would be her supervisor, overseeing her tasks. The aim of this initiative is to instill a sense of responsibility in Sophia and teach her the concept of earning and making financial decisions.

Sophia will receive N1,000 weekly after it has been confirmed that she has satisfactorily completed her assigned tasks.

Kachi’s approach to parenting has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some praising his effort in teaching his daughter valuable life lessons.

Saifullahi Dahiru: This is not just funny. But on a serious note I love this. Although the task are too much for the child atleast that weekly 1k would motivate her to be a very hardworking child.

Marshal Bakut: This 6 year old in my house and his 3 year old brother are recieving their letters on Monday, unfailingly

Sarah Afolabi: Well….. My 6 year old who will be 7 by January is already doing all these plus feeding her 0ne year old sister. So what I will add is the allowance. She has been doing that for quite a while and is good at it. The interesting thing is her 3year old brother is already following suit without being told. So good concept sir.

Simon England Lvar: Justice for Sophia  This pay is below minimum wage. We are coming for you Sir. Solidarity forever!

Punarimam Cynthia Yanshak:
Wow! my 8years old son is very good doing chores and taking care of his younger one’s.
I can go to work at10am and come back at 5pm and meet everything intact.
I will cook enough food and keep for them and that’s all.
I will need to add the allowance thing to it because truth be told, this boy is doing well.

Daniel Anche: As Newton third law says “in every reaction there is equal and opposite reaction. For me is too early to expose this little angel to a mystery even the adult find hard to handle so allowed her when she gets there she will know how to maneuver her way out instead open children account and be saving for her future.

Peter Eshowoeblim: I find this concept quite exciting, and I hope for a beautiful outcome. However, if you ask me I would say this might ingrain in your child a tendency to demand payment or ask what is in it for her before taking up basic family responsibilities. I would suggest you rather attach this reward to academic performance or other non-family duties
