Don't collect people's bag,let them carry it themselves. The last time I worked in Nigeria,the CEO came in,trust me now, I sat right there! Others stood up.He asked me to stand up when I'm talking to him. Guess what,I resigned! Our culture let people take advantage of u sometimes. Sorry I'm a Yoruba guy but I'm not with u on this.Change bro. 2 Likes |

TruthHurts1: What does it matter? The whole classification system itself is arbitrary. Are "white people" realy white? some only whitish, others are pink and a few could be best described as gray. at times you can't really tell the difference between white people and arabs going by skin color alone...so why is this an issue that anyone should get worked up over? 1 Like |

moscobabs: I have to agree that it's a culture that no one can take away. Just do it when you see people that will understand what you're doing. As an Ibo girl, it's only my father-in-law and his wife when she was alive that I bend down for as a normal mark of respect, every other person, you're on your own. 1 Like |

Thank God i am not a Yoruba man o. Yorubas are the perfect slaves, it is deep rooted in their blood and disguised as respect for the elderly. It just happens that the elderly are the richest and powerful ones, If he was a much younger wealthy person he would still do the same. Yorubas have been suffering from slavery long before the Whites came to colonize us, Virtually every tribe including theirs have enslaved them in the past. I will only carry bags from my parents or if it is obvious to everyone that you are struggling with heavy bags. Apart from that you can even fire me for not bending to greet you or carrying your weightless handbags. This is why i have problem with Yorubas superiors. They attached too much relevance to themselves and demand respects as if they eat it. 1 Like |

moscobabs: Head bending are for lizards, always keep it professional! Perhaps respect isn't as a result of greeting your elders or bending you head but by respecting his core values since his your boss.. So next time you see an agama lizard shout the blood of jesus |

armadeo:Yep that's it but some ogas do expect too much. U guys remember pix of Rochas and house of rep guys kneeling down and prostrating on the floor. Our Nigerian mentality and over hyping of egos makes most African bosses almost tyrants when it comes to these sort of things. I know a friend that is a PA to one of these senate peeps and his arrogant principal expects anyone who meets him to prostrate on the floor when greeting him. The man visited the UK some time back and Nigerians who knew him were prostrating on the road for him (god forbid bad thing). He was shocked to his marrow when he met me for the first time and I stretched out my hand to shake him as my guy introduced me to him. I see as the man dey look me conny conny eye. I later overheard the man asking my guy who I was and if I wasn't trained well to have greated him like that. Before my friend could answer I walked up to them and told him to his face "with all due respect sir. It would be preposterous for u to expect me to postrate for u on the streets of London. That does not dispute the fact that I respect u". Anyway he developed a dislike for.me after that. Though he was impressed with what we presented them with but that act alone could be the reason why the cancelled our offers for them. Anyway wahatever! 1 Like |

Op, you are "eye service" person and the Lebanese man saw through your antics. What were you doing in front of the man's office when you should already be working at your duty post. Were you employed to be standing in front of the Lebanese man's door? Consider yourself very lucky your boss is a nice man if not he would have sacked you on the spot. 1 Like |

As u said,''IN YOUR CULTURE'' not His those actions may signify a different thing in theirs always be cautious in your dealings with internationals cause they dont share your dreams and aspirations they think and act differently from us I once bade my Boss a safe journey once and he didnt like it atall he told me next time i should use Safe Trip instead, i tried to check the difference between the two and never seems to understand where the difference lies, in short, i consulted my dictionary and goggle at the same time my advice to you, what ever that man employed you to do should be your major concern not greetings, rendering of help or trying to play social with them they totally dislike that, No more eye service my brother least be prepared to return home this recession period BE AS QUITE AS A DOVE AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE good luck with ur job.smiles . |
