InvertedHammer:you have some valid points, although i don't agree that we're slaves anyway. We're just lazy. Ask people arround the last time they read an educational book, when last he/she watched discovey or nat geo. In my axis, many adults and young people don't care. But they prefer wasting too much time on things of litte epistemic value. That has to change. 1 Like |

Ugosample: There are many ignorant people on this thread. For those who haven't been to India, know today that they are workaholics. Even the children are not left out. I know a garment shop in which these children work 75 hours every week and are paid $20 for the same period. And this is serious work,no arbitrary breaks. Anyone saying that a sizeable % of Nigerians, especially the youth ain't lazy, that person is delusional. Oga that's slavery not hard work, part of the reasons why we call them wicked, how can u pay a worker 3,400 for 75 hours of work? 2 Likes |

I noticed no one has called Indian bosses LAZY or UNPRODUCTIVE which is what counts in a private business. You may not like them but one thing you can say is that they are very hard working, unfortunately the average Nigerian worker comes with a sense of entitlement (some even feel entitled to steal their employers blind). You may call them mean and unkind but the office is not a place to find love and be cuddled, if you want that go home to your mother. Of course there is also the option to quit. A dangerous culture of moaning whining and complaining has crept into our lives, Indians as a nation are DOERS, we are sliding into a nation of TALKERS. We moan and complain about the government, our leaders, our bosses, if not for all these "wicked" people our lives would be heaven. That's just a lot of BS, a man uses millions and tons of sweat to set up a business and some clown comes along expecting to NOT do his job and get paid? I will kick your bum! If you want a kind boss why not set your own business and handout big money for no work to your staff? 3 Likes |

Re: Are Indian Bosses In Nigeria That Bad??? by MrAboki: 8:41am On Nov 07, 2013 |
[b]Indians and Chinese people all think and believe that they are superior to Africans, in the same way the WHite supremacists see africans as Niggas.\ However, my first job as a graduate in Canada was given to me by an Indian man. He even paid me the standard wage (20 dollars an hour) and said he will pay me cash so that I dont have to pay any government taxes on the money as he knows that I really needed it to settle. He was indeed a great boss. Made me supervisor over even Indians (prolly cos he saw that I had a degree). At some point, I was like his second in command. However, those other indians that worked for the company and the indians that were our clients were retards. The last day I worked for him was because of how an Indian client was very condecending to me. My boss saw it and immediately intervened as he saw that I was about to lose it. But here in Africa, the matter is different. Go to all the businesses owned by; Indians Chinese & Lebanese and see how they treat and talk to their staff for minimum wage with no benefits.. [/b] |

When I was wt my fformer coy far back 2006, I was part of a team that fixes machines for our clients. I've visited many companies during the period. Its only in IndIan owned factory that the staff will be begging us to extend our hours of service n repairs so that they can rest. Nigerians workers are passing tru hell in d hands of these people. |

Here comes your answer to all : Africans complain of discrimination in Mumbai, India Sheeba Rani has been ostracised by many friends and relatives for marrying Nigerian Sambo Davis Africans staying in and around India's commercial capital, Mumbai (Bombay), complain of indiscriminate racism and constant police harassment, reports the BBC's Zubair Ahmed. Nigerian Sambo Davis is married to an Indian woman and lives in Mumbai. All his documents are valid, but he was arrested by the police recently on suspicion of being a drug dealer. He and 30 other black Africans were detained for hours before they were let off with an apology. But the following day, Mr Davis said that he was shocked to read in local newspapers that they were "arrested for drug peddling". "The police treat us Africans like dogs," he says. Mr Davis claims he often faces discrimination when he goes to restaurants or when he tries to rent an apartment in gated middle-class communities. Continue reading the main story “ Start Quote If Africans don't have papers, then deport them, don't put them in jail” End Quote Ikeorah Junior Nigerian cafe owner in Mumbai But he is nevertheless one of the lucky ones. He found a decent flat to rent, thanks to his Indian wife. But his fellow countrymen, he says, still face discrimination: "When they go to rent flats in a normal building they are told - 'you are a black man, you are Nigerian, and you are not wanted'. This is racism." 'Hide and seek' There is no official data on how many Africans live in Mumbai, but since India's economic progress gathered momentum in recent years, many have come to work in and around the city. Unofficial estimates put their numbers at more than 5,000. Most of them are engaged in exporting garments to Nigeria and other African countries. Many others are students, enrolled in the region's prestigious educational institutions. But there are also hundreds of Africans, mostly Nigerians, who live as illegal immigrants in India. They have either "lost" their passports or their visas have "expired". Every day, these people play hide-and-seek with the police - if they are caught, they are sent to jail. Ikeorah Junior from Lagos runs a cafe for Africans in a crowded market on Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road. "I don't understand why they [police] have to go from house to house to arrest the people who don't have their papers. If they don't have papers, then deport them, don't put them in jail," he says. Ahmed Javed, who is in charge of maintaining law and order in the state of Maharashtra, says it is not that simple: "In most cases they have no passports. So, unless their nationalities are determined, they cannot be deported." Dozens of Africans have taken up residence on Mira Road, a dusty, nondescript town just outside Mumbai. One "illegal immigrant" there asked me for money, claiming he had not eaten for two days. He looked worried and told me that he had been approached by drug dealers to work for them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-21826366 |

Tajsagay: I recently went to a certain firm yesterday to make inquiries and right at the front desk, two officials there were conversing. They were blasting their Indian boss right in front of me a stranger. I was really shocked. I also recalled another acquaintance that really hated her Indian boss and never had anything good to say about him. SO FOR NAIRALANDERS WITH INDIAN BOSSES, ARE THEY THAT BAD?depends ,maybe you came across the indians that have a racist mindset , we have them in England too , not all of them are but racist indians do exist ..especially the educated and upper class ones : see excerp from bbc : Africans complain of discrimination in Mumbai, India Sheeba Rani has been ostracised by many friends and relatives for marrying Nigerian Sambo Davis Africans staying in and around India's commercial capital, Mumbai (Bombay), complain of indiscriminate racism and constant police harassment, reports the BBC's Zubair Ahmed.

Well, in my own coy, our Indian staff are one of the most intelligent ones, they are serious on the job, if u happen to have one as a boss, they could be a bit pushy in order to get the desired work target(s). However it depends on how you want to see it, their are as many bad Nigerian bosses as their are Indian Bosses, just like we equally have lazy Nigeria and Indian workers. its not about race, tribe or what have u. its about individuals.. 1 Like |

Re: Are Indian Bosses In Nigeria That Bad??? by deolumike(m): 11:09am On Nov 07, 2013 |
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. |
