Hello.am from Nigeria I came in on the 31st of December 2018 as an housemaid.wasn't told the procedures here..my first kefil took me back to the office becos I was I'll nd cldnt work after 5days.so I was taken to another office where I stayed 2weeks before I was brought to my present place of work.never knew the job is like this too stressful nd have to work form 5am to 9pm wth just an hour break,and also my pay is half the phillipino pay which is very low compare to what my co Nigeria maid gets.....my question is can I leave..cos am thinking of leaving aftrr 8mons.note no contract agreement between either me nd the agent nor my present madam,am frustrated nd depressed.

People should trust and contact their embassies. Even the worst embassies in Saudi Arabia are working a lot for the welfare or protection of their people.

Contact your embassy as soon as possible and they will help you out with everything; from finance to legal, etc.

Hello my dear sister, I am also a Nigerian from Delta State. I work here as a Doctor and I understand how stressful your job is here in Saudi.

You definitely can put an end to your contract if you want to go back to Nigeria.

You can reach me if convenient to you on WhatsApp ( +***) and +*** (Imo)

Wishing you the best in all.

Thanks
