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. That is fucktardism, not hard work. |

holyvirgin: I can't believe some of you are hailing those Indians gosh... Those guys from third world country, with little education and terrible grammer shouldn't be allowed to boss any Nigerian. They are disrespectful, saucy, lazy and not professionals at all.I quite agree with you 100%, they are the worse employers of labour have ever seeing ,I once work with them they are terible,they can bribe ghost to make their way through,they evade tax ,look for cheapest labour,insult and molest nigerians working with them and above all taking the advantage of lack of job to exploit nigerians.Interestingly though,they relief some of us the stress of searching for job endlessly and giving us a platform to prove our competence before getting a befiting job. |

Italiano1: Hmm. Pardon me, I can't even remember in what context I made that comment. But as per my generalization. Well, yes, I used to be a lazy worker, up to a point. 6-10 years ago, my level of social awareness was probably such that I would join in the condemnation of Indian or Lebanese or Chinese workers and employers. Like most of you, I preferred to focus on the specks in their eyes, rather than the beam in mine. But after progressing up the corporate ladder and making a foray into entrepreneurship, I can say with all sense of responsibility: Nigerians are lazy workers, 99% of the time. We are very entitled, have little or no passion for anything we do, and are totally fixated on monetary gain. Most times we don't even pay attention to simple rote responsibilities, but would rather enforce our negative views and attitudes in the workplace. The worst of it is, we are mostly cowards, and would not stand up for each other, or what we believe in, when we are working for these Indians or Lebanese, or Chinese people. All we do is skulk into corners and complain. Nigerians complain about every type of boss, foreigner or Nigerian. I have come to believe that a Nigerian worker would only be happy if you paid a very good wage and asked very little of him by way of responsibility. If possible don't ask for anything, just pay them. 2 Likes |

mrjingles: 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. You are comparing a local population (Nigerians) to immigrant indians. There are lots of lazy and unproductive indians as well. Those indians will never travel outside their country. Its the same reason Nigerian immigrants are considered more hard working than the local black population of any country they travel to. Those countries only see the hardest working Nigerians and think we are all like that. Go check out india sometime - there are just as many, if not more backward, self-entitled people. 1 Like |

AjanleKoko: 99% is an exaggeration, but what you described is not unique to Nigerians. If anything, the only person to blame here is you - you obviously are not doing due dilligence in your hiring practices. |

Indians are well known for that, they have dominated the asian countries the gulf and the middle east to the extend that they leave little or no chances to other nationalities to get in the jobs. Unless you have not been to these countries there is no way you can like the indians to be our bosses in our own countries and en slave us. Most indians are very stingy, selfish, pride, hypocritical, hatred, always feel superior and looking down at what others possesses in terms of qualification. Let's be careful on how these people try to penetrate our system let's not end up worsening our situation. |

AjanleKoko: I will be generous and refrain from saying "I am yet to see a Nigerian that" in my following state. "I can't recall seeing many Nigerians in Nigeria who I or someone else tell what they do and they ask 'what is the job like', 'how does it function' or 'is it interesting'. What they want to know is 'how much do you make', 'how much can you make from the job' and 'what will you be making in future if you have experience in the job'." Only God knows how many countless graduates from Nigeria that I see who are all looking to do a Masters in Petroleum Engineering. I go dey wonder: Na so una love petrol reach? Una get passion for seeing Oyel? |

Ugosample: 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. Nigerians go everywhere and protest maltreatment by their hosts. But once in Nigeria, they become dormant and bend over backwards to be rimmed by the politicians. The students have been home all these while watching tv, chatting away their lives and indulging in all kinds of life-wasting activities. You will never see them get together and match to Abuja and demand for justice. NO! That will be too much to ask. Can you imagine that during the petrol crisis last year, the mammoth crowd was running away from policemen? Unbelievable! The reverse should have been the case. The rot in Nigeria goes on because the "dictators" in power know that every Nigerian loves life more than anything. They will rather live in penury than fight back at oppressors. It is a well-established trend. Talking of Indians....a good case study will be a police case between an Indian and a Nigerian in Nigeria. Who do you think the police will pay attention to? An Indian can easily run a Nigerian out of Nigeria. Only in Nigeria! How low can people get? |

Re: Are Indian Bosses In Nigeria That Bad??? by Nobody: 4:01pm On Nov 07, 2013 |
There's no need to make noise. Let all these immigrant Pataks continue making noise in another man's country. All they are doing is developing for us what we are too lazy to develop ourselves but the key thing is that when we get tired, then we will know who comes first in this country, whether a Nigerian or an albino Eritrean from Rajpur. There are 200 million Nigerians, all of us insatiably ambitious, greedy and totally amoral. Let's see who will win. Me, I'm sitting back to enjoy the show because I know for a fact that the population of Indians in this country is in for a huge and nasty surprise when they find out that use-and-dump is the game we play here, and that their government is too useless and unfit for purpose to do anything to help them. The Chinese are the group with the most advanced understanding of power, particularly the rule that states that you win with actions, not words. You won't see a Chink coming on Nairaland to drag Nigeria with Nigerians, talking about some imaginary "social hierarchy" where he ranks above a Nigerian in Nigeria, displaying naked and obvious racism on an African forum. No, the Chinks are way too smart for that and that's what worries me about them because they have MASSIVE interests and investments in Nigeria, far dwarfing that of the Sandeeps and Lebanese but you won't even know it with the way they conduct themselves quietly. It's the indians who are so dumb that they come to the heart of Africa and start practising their primitive caste system on NIGERIANS of all people. But this is no surprise to anyone who has been to india or lived/worked with them. They are academically excellent slaves who can score 100% on every exam and do nothing but study and gain theoretical knowledge but socially, emotionally and intellectually, they exist at the mental level of an 11 year-old Nigerian child. They are totally devoid of social and emotional sophistication which is why the entire country of 1 billion+ is still yet to come to terms with the fact that some humans have a v.agina and there is nothing wrong with this. The social sophistication that the average Nigerian male has by JSS 3, the average Indian may never develop in a lifetime. Their lawmakers were recently embroiled in a scandal when they were caught watching p.orn on iPads while on the floor of the house of parliament. While the average 19 year-old Nigerian male can confidently go to Brazil and get a woman there to warm his bed within 3 weeks of meeting her, a typical Indian male suffers from a crushing sense of s.exual inadequacy, physical inferiority and cognitive dissonance caused by the conflict between primitive social strictures which criminalise normal human sexual relationships and the natural and legitimate drive for sex. This is why they hate their women so much. And by the way, the population of extremely poor people in India is more than Nigeria's entire population. Most of India is an arid, useless, unproductive desert which smells of drying cow shyt. The indians you see here in Africa are here because there are no opportunities for them back home. However, because they have been indoctrinated to think of their genetically inferior albino selves as "superior" to melanin-rich dark skinned people, they still attempt to project some imagined "superiority" and "dominance" over the people accommodating them as economic refugees! But from privileged viewing, I can assure you that soon they will learn who holds the whip here. And it will be as funny as f.uck because they are just too dumb and ill equipped to handle any sort of adversity. Grab your popcorn. 1 Like |

InvertedHammer:That is an economic matter. Let the indian be a destitute with no money or access to money, then watch the story change. You make the mistake so many (including indians themselves) make of conflating favouritism based on perceived economic status and racism. They are not the same. If I were Jimoh Ibrahim, I can guarantee you that I would get a hearing for myself, my family, friends, domestic staff and driver before the police would listen to any indian. It's all about money, don't get it twisted. |

rigormortis: If Nigerians can stop spending thousands of pounds/dollars to go abroad to study in many irreputable places, only to go back to Nigeria to beg for a job, and they instead put their money in a business, then they would not need to work for Indians for peanuts. We need to start creating a generation that thinks about creating businesses, not seeking jobs. A generation that is willing to start from scratch and patiently make it, instead of looking for instant jackpot. |

iyobs7: It's too bad you've decided to expose your ignorance on a wide scale. I'm a Software developer with bias for PHP and Java, I was thinking out of the box and decided to use PYTHON for a project but fell in love with JSP along the line. As a programmer you don't need to master all programming languages. It's also sad that you're dull to notice I used past tense when talking about my grad school days, meaning I'm out of school and currently working. Inferiority complex is a terrible thing, the fact that you're suffering from it doesn't make everyone fall into the same category. Your bias for Indian girls has made that obvious. I'm still open to the offer of meeting you when I'm in Mumbai so you can see it's possible to be good at what you do. Once again, study hard so you can make dad and mum proud. |
