speedyboi: Typical! Na everybody dey wicked! Indians, Dangote, mtn....etc.

Has it ever occurred to you; maybe you're probably the one with problem?

Ooo...you expect them to sit and watch you run down their investments like you guys will always do in Government owned offices? Tschew.


Fact is; if I have a big company today, I may not employ Any of these 'paper' graduates

My professor used to tell me that...certificates do not give you a job, but skill does. Unfortunately, most NIgerians attended the university for the certificate and not for the urge to acquire knowledge and skills.
90% of Nigerians don't chase success in their career, they're just chasing money....smh.

Chase success! Money will definitely come

adeememman: Bro, trust me. I have tried to work with a lot of Nigerians back home when I tried to do business. Nigerians are some of the most unprofessional and difficult people to work with, especially the new graduates.

1.A lady shows up for work 1hr late and goes into another 30mins 'quiet time' (prayer) leaving customers to complain. She doesn't even care
2.staff abandon their work and attend burial, or church crusade for days and show up to be paid full salary
3.The cost of managing some Nigerians back home is high. If u hire them u have to hire someone to monitor them otherwise they steal you silly. What a crap!
4. Majority work for money and don't care about the job. Private business must make money before they pay salary
5. Some want to be compensated for a big paper degree with no expertise or hands-on skill to back it.

This is not how things work in some of this countries abroad. So don't blame foreigners who have strong work ethics. If you wana work with Nigerians back home you must be very strict, otherwise you will lose your investment. Period!


There are reasons why unemployment level in Nigeria is very high. It's not just lack of jobs but also lack of employable hands.

not someone like me who prays daily for a good job

gny kelly: consider this: 70% of america C.E.O and managers are indians. Why= they flow with the market tide.
Those ones i worked with over here have enough skill to power any economy. But they are here illegaly. Complain of how they maltreat and careless of workers welfare. You can ask NLC and govt official how they are settled when they come for inspection.
Not their fault. They swim with the tide.

You're the ignorant one bro, I attended grad school in the UK with top graduates from India, not one single Indian finished ahead of a Nigerian. Btw "schooling in India" is not adequate to pass this type of judgment, go to the US or UK and let's know your opinion.

Keneking: Indians are smart. Their bosses are intelligent. Lazy Nigerians cant cope with their pace and pressure.

biotun: India bosses are not that bad,it is Nigeria employers that are very lazy

Ada Nri1: Are you for real? So making people work in inhumane conditions and then physically and verbally abusing them is intelligence? You will be a slave until you change your way of thinking. Onuku

pharmow: I snivel silently when I realized the level our society has degenerated to. To be sincere with ourselves, the ethical conduct of a Nigerian worker is lower than global average. However, there are causes for these ethical misconducts which are not far-fetched. The hardship and failed promises from governance over the decades have hardened many Nigerians and wrongly changed people's perception on ethical conducts and the way they do things generally. Another good point to mention here is our societal norm of giving recognition to people with wealth irrespective of our they amass the wealth has made people to look for fastest way to make money and make some people to have attitude that they can kill themselves on little salary they are making. Also, the fact that the salary earned by Nigerian worker is meagre in comparison to the duties assigned makes work related ethical issues in Nigeria complex.

You can see the angle I'm coming from that there are many factors that attributes to the work ethical conducts of Nigerians. Nevertheless, I totally disagree with some people assertion that Nigerians are lazier than Indians. I challenge anyone to come up with any fact to prove this. No one is in position to compare the work ethics of two different nationals without putting into consideration the neutrality of the country. What I mean is that U can be in Nigeria and compare the work ethics of Nigerians with Indians, likewise U can be in India and compare work ethics of Indians and Nigerians. Because an average Nigerian will feel like this is my country and No foreigner should come and start treating me anyhow without a good pay; which is exactly what an Indian will do if he is employed by a Nigerian in India

Having said so much, from what I have read and what I'm seeing, we Nigerians are one of the most hard working people in the world. Stepping out of the country will make one understand this fact. Though there are many Nigerians that are involved in illegal dealings (this boils down to the above mentioned point that people respect you for your money irrespective of how you make it), but in an organized society where people get reasonable benefits for their hardwork, there is respect and appreciation for one's effort and money is not worship a typical Nigeria will carry out his duty effectively.

NB: One cannot totally blame an Indian employer that pay a graduate #30,000 because if it is boldly written in the law that minimum wage is #18,000, then he hasn't done anything wrong. Moreso, is not the fault of an Indian employer that's inhumane to his workers. If your government treat you terribly, how do you expect a foreigner to treat U?

AjanleKoko: Indian bosses are not bad.
It's Nigerian employees who are lazy.

sherrif222: Indians bosses are the worst ever, don't expect any promotions from them, they have zero value for
your effort. i tell you i have been there and even in their country they use their workers like hell and
pay them peanuts. Indians are the highest racist ever... in India you cannot own a company without
using an Indian as the boss. they have racist law that prevents a foreign from ruining a coy in his name
as the sole owner. you cant even buy a house in your name. you have to buy in the name of an Indian
goat called an agent and he will transfer to you but still have access to your possession...... Indians are
nothing but shiiiiiiiiiit. .... in other parts of Europe Indians do the minor jobs and they are like the slaves
they do the manual labor and other petty jobs although they earn well because of good employees
welfare. but in Nigeria they seat there as the boss.. who dash monkey..... indiginization should be the
best practice just as they do in their country.................

ROSSIKE:

MANY Nigerians are managers in top companies across Europe, Canada and the US.

Those nations are more enlightened than backward India, and will make use of talent regardless of skin colour. That a country allows workers from all over the world is a sign of political maturity and plurality, so Nigeria should be praised.

iyobs7:

Mr ignoramous, please dont come and tell us u schooled in Uk. Those that schooled in UK have better reasoning than what u just displayed.
I clearly made reference to Education in Nigeria not in USA or UK. Indians migrate to USA or UK for studies and it is celebrated as if they have won a medal. Try to think before quoting me next time

engineerd:

DUDE STFU AND STOP SPEWING UR BULL-SHI*T HERE...YOU MUST FORGET YOU ARE DEALING WITH NIGERIANS WHO HARDLY HAVE A BONE OF INFERIORITY COMPLEX....KEEP YOUR SOCIAL CONSTRUCT IN BOMBAY....

hayubee: Herz my opinion!!

daz_york:
Nigerians are a special kind of African people. We are the most two-faced, ambitious, conniving, greedy, intelligent, ruthless, amoral people on this continent.
A typical Nigerian like me can't even work under an African who isn't Nigerian without scheming him out of his position and taking over what he has. A Nigerian typically regards himself before all other humans and often even his god.
If you doubt this, lose all your money and possessions and try to survive in Nigeria like a Nigerian. Then you'll see how much your imagined "status" counts for here. We're economic animals surviving in a financial jungle.
