there is this notion that if you have been away from nigeria too long,nigerians will not take you seriously. they would see you as an easy target.You have been softened and can only speak phonetics. any complaints you make about anything ur quickly dubbed JJC. you are looked upon as an outsider. you would need to do everything the "nigerian way" which includes intimidating poeple, picking up fights, treating ur workers like personal slaves, kidnappin people etc can diasporians really cope!  |

lol @ "Diasporians". . . Sounds like you are talking about an entirely different race of people.  Going back to your question, I think that your so-called "Diasporians" are even in the best position to do business in Nigeria. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that people who live and do business in Nigeria aren't good enough. They are doing a great job - in fact, they deserve a lot of respect for taking the initiative and making things happen for themselves. However, someone who has had the added advantage of living outside the country, and who has had to integrate in a new society, totally different from anything they had ever known - would be expected to have an additional level of exposure, which should enable them compare "how things are" with "how things should be" with "how things could be". I'm not saying that this level of exposure would make you a better business person, but at least it helps create a standard in one's mind of what global business practices at least look like. |
