Why do you want to know?

@OP beware jawe

Ugosample:


Africans in general do NOT deserve respect


This is me saying the COLD TRUTH

until we earn it, the world will continue to see us as jokers

charzyh2:
@ bolded are your parents included?

Ugosample:


I repeat, Africans as a group do NOT deserve respect

We may strive as individuals to make small marks here and there

BUT that does not count
what counts is how the general group is


Africans i repeat for the third time in general DO NOT DESERVE respect

They need to earn it

the same way everyone has earned theirs

we are seen as jokers and treated as such

I'm not Nigerian but I had to comment on your flight experience with Lufthansa cause I went through a similar experience while going back to my home country sometimes ago.

I also flew with one of those [b]"renowned" Airlines [/b]and I had one of the worst customer services experience ever. Terrible...It's like some of those Airlines employees see African Countries as hell. Unhappy Hostesses, poor on ground services, poor on air experience. In my own case, they even "refused" to serve us food at an "appropriate"time. The flight was late, the plane "old", the seats uncomfortable..All around bad...When I think about how much money I paid for the flight ticket, I just shake my head.

The funniest thing is I flew the same airlines some times later to another part of the world( from the same airport) and it was a totally different experience. "Newer" and "cleaner" plane, respectful hostesses, plenty food, very nice on air service etc. You could feel that they knew they were talking to/serving fellow human beings.

Hopefully one day, some our countries will get "there" and we will be treated with the respect we all deserve.

Hey let me add ... If you are ever in Chicago . pm me .. free lunch on me in some of our best restaurants.

Mancala:


At face value, I have no arguments with your assertions. But lets dig a little deeper.
I will attempt to address this from the perspective of how so called developed, organized or civilized societies portray themselves as highly evolved and organized around a set of guiding principles and philosophies or creed. It is instructive to note that in Western societies, respect is given, not because the recipient deserves it, but because of whom you are or claim to be. For example, you don't open the door for a woman or allow her to go ahead of you, or pull up a chair for her because she is a lady. You do so because you are a gentleman and you will do it for any and every woman regardless of being a lady or not. I see some of this in Yoruba culture where you are compelled to respect all elders ...... King, naive, jester, servant. Not because they deserve it in any way, but because it is the culture and it is who they are as a people.

So what's my point? I call out Lufthansa for their hypocrisy. They shouldn't treat us like crap because we behave irresponsibly and probably deserve it. They espouse to be evolved beyond that. We are paying customers and should always be treated well. If they can't handle the heat, they should either leave or institute consequences for those that don't abide by civilized norms and treat the remaining well. After all, they do charge a premium on those routes which should cover the inconvenience.

sorry to come under ur mention but Lufthansa is too far come home and see how these Indians and Chinese treat Africa even in our own Africa and understand the point he is. Trying to make.. if I work for a Chinese man and he treats me badly then I decide to leave cos I want to keep my respect is it guaranteed that i’ll Get another job in my country? If I have an issue with the India national whom I work with and the police or military in Nigeria is invited, will they ask and find out who was truly wrong before Dey pounce on me? Why do the foreigners in Africa skip queues and jump ahead at any point and our people still attend to them first before we that has been on that queue before them Once again sorry for being on ur mention but Africa in general doesn’t deserve that respect until they earn it.

Mancala:


Hey, no need to apologize. Participation in the discourse is highly encouraged, the more the merrier . Let's talk about the Chinese and Indians. No offense intended to any nationality, but neither of them subscribes to the philosophies I described. Have you seen how they treat their own people? Not much better than how they treat Nigerians in our country. They are only behaving the way they know how to. I am not making excuses for their behavior in Nigeria. Our authorities should enforce the laws, but we all know what's up with that. The only option open to Nigerians is self help. If workers organize and all refuse to work for these companies, maybe change will come.

As for foreigners that skip queues in Nigeria, we should call them out and disgrace them when they do so. I have done so several times when in Nigeria and it works like a charm.

cue64:
I’m only here to reecho what ugosample has said Until we earn that respect we honestly do not deserve it....if you’ve travelled to the gulfs and see what this people do to Africans? And learn that our fellow Africans and some of our diplomats would support this people simply becos they are of same religion you’d realize that a lot I still wrong with Africa!!!!

Mizwisdom:





Let me remind you that you're also an African! you talk like you're exempted, what have you done to deserve disrespect? If you're guilty I'm not, punishment shouldnt be collective, we shouldn't be treated nasty cos we're Africans. You've ruined the poster diary. Someone came here to share his experience and you've littered everywhere with your curses, anger, inferiority complex + racism, control yourself bro. Justwise need to edit your nasty words it's too much & irrelevant.

lionlee216:


Present sir

Our best restuarant as in African restaurants?

Ugosample:


you are validating my point!

Africans as a group are seen as JOKERS

Except you want to fool yourself, that's the truth.

Okay, Lufthansa gave bad service, whom will you report to?

Okay, let's assume CPC in Nigeria

What will they do

NOTHING


Because these people know that you monkeys can t do $hit, they will continue to $hit on your head, and that is why you guys don't deserve respect


The world knows they can get away with whatever, when it comes to Africans because they can't do $hit!

Your diplomats can't do $hit

Your fvckin govt can't do $hit

You niggas don't even have the buying power to boycott them, because you CAN'T!


Call it inferiority complex, you are only deluding yourself

I know what I have seen and faced that has made me come to this conclusion that indeed Africans are fvcked in the grand scheme of things.

Even Turkish air and Air Maroc treats sub Saharan Africans like $hit!

What can you do?

You know what would have befallen companies if they messed with Americans, Brits, Saudis, Japanese, Chinese or Russian folks/customers/citizens?

I don't need to say it, you know

So I repeat again for the umpteenth time...


Africans AS A GROUP deserve NO respect, as the bottom feeder in everything

Disprove me and I'll take it back

Mancala:


Coincidentally, I will be in Chicago next Tuesday on a business trip, but on a tight regimented schedule. Flying into Dupage or Midway for 9am and leaving by 4pm. I always dread Chicago in the winter. Y'all don't do well with snow. Flights are often cancelled and traffic that is hellacious on a normal day becomes actual hell. But Chicago nightlife can sweet die. Lots of stories to tell from my younger days when I used to go to St. Charles and will hangout with my Japanese, South American and European consulting buddies

Well.....

I posted based on his experience and I got mentions which I replied.

I did not ruin anything, I just said the truth as it is; without sugar coating it.

Don't worry, by next year you will b travelling as usual, you
will also come to share your experience

The world treats sub groups as collectives not as individuals. And that is why as a group, Africans will continue to be treated like $hit.

Ideally we are supposed to br treated individually, but the world does not work that way

The general perception of the sub group you belong to plays a huge part on how you get treated out there

That's the truth

Olalekank:

Do I, Olalekan who have tried all within my power to keep the laws of the land, stay from crime and just a student who criticizes online fraudulent acts, due to the bad image it labels Nigerians, deserve to be treated like a lowly and animal in another man land I?

Don't forget I paid for the visa, paid for the ticket and then I get treated like that.

The way you're generalizing this is like you giving birth to your child in the UK, he's probably a citizen of Nigeria and UK just like the situation of the UK. Then this your child wants to travel to Nigeria having never left the UK before and he's treated like that. Does he deserve it just because he's a "Nigerian"?

Goldenboy007:
Hey guys sheath your swords - you do not need to fight each other. I came to Lagos and y'all look so angry - and this aggression you bring it online. Life is about perspectives - Ugo may be angry about something he experienced , Nigeria can be very frustrating sometimes, however Ugo as they advised - every human deserves a level of diginity - like someone said we all paid the airfare so treat us with respect.

Also let's promote ourselves online - we are all ambassadors of our countries + if you post nasty stuffs about your country , that's what people would see. We do not need to fight each other - like I said we all see issues from different angle. America has it's own challenges but I have not seen a set of people that love their country like the Americans do. One thing I can tell you , apart from the peculiar challenges in Nigeria , there is no place like home.

cue64:
you see, u just said how we can start to earn that respect if workers come together and say they won’t work! But trust me in Nigeria if that happens, they’ll gladly fire every single one of them and employ the next Jobless youth who is always willing to work. My problem is not the way they treat us my problem is the way our authorities and our fellow Africans worship them even as they treat us Badly

Goldenboy007:
Generic email from Lufthansa.. but I know they would reach out. The least I would get an apology and hopefully they change some process.

Mancala:


Thanks for doing this. All of us could benefit from any potential positive change that comes out of it. However, I'm a bit of a skeptic cause I know how these things work, been in the corporate game too long. This is exactly what they want aggrieved customers to do so that they can deal with you one on one in secret and appease you at minimal cost with no real change happening. You know what works .......and what they don't want you to do? Put it out on social media with compelling proof like a video or audio ... I'm beginning to sound like a broken record on this. If you do this, they are not only dealing with you, they are dealing with their entire customer base and must make visible tangible amends in public. Twitter, Facebook, Google and YouTube were disallowed in countries like China because the govt knows these are the modern tools of change. One doesn't need to carry a gun or organize on the streets to hold up a govt or corporate organization anymore. Twitter is just as effective, perhaps even more. I wonder what our orange faced leader has put out on twitter this fine Sunday morning
