Here’s how a Nigerian boss lashed out at one of his employees for daring to ask him ‘How are you?’.

Do you see anything wrong with the question?

Nigeria mentality.. you need to add Sir at d end of the statement to make it respectful to Our Nigerian Elders

When you get to rome, you better act like the romans

The guy should be orientated on how the Nigerian system works, especially our soldiers, cos a slap from a soldier may affect his innocent grandmother in the grave.

Ordinary welcome to Nigeria, you're already crying on behalf of your deported friend. Oga boss no fit wield or flaunt his power again?

It's generally believed in some cultures that a younger person cannot enquire about the wellbeing of an older person especially using the phrase "how are you?"

Nigeria mentality. But next time let him add Sir.

In as much as I would totally agree as regards the comments above that our mentality here requires the addition of 'sir' and 'ma', I would like to point out here that that mentality is a wrong one that needs to fade away at the workplace.

I worked with Virgin Nigeria and that mentality was TOTALLY ABSENT at the workplace!!! It never even brought disrespect amongst superiors and subordinates!! Abeg make that oga park well joor!!!

Na mate em come do for the workplace? I most times see it sef as Inferiority complex when U cannot allow a junior feel free with you at the workplace when one is been addressed!

You can only see such in some government agencies, meanwhile in the private sector I doubt you would find such mentality.

Zoo mentality

Went to our head office for a meeting and asked one of our most senior manager ' so how has the work been'? Had no idea who she was initially and she responded' a little stressful and she's even going out to meet a client'.... Said it with no issue at all. So it depends on personality and organization.
That response is mostly from one man business show.

Me wey dey tell my "Boss", "How far na?"

Bros!

Your paddy no need come back from the state kankan! In Nigeria "How Are You" Dey cause a lot of Kasala Wella.

Its not part of our Culture.. I believe your sense should tell you.

When Greeting an Elderly person or Someone who is higher than you in hierarchy in Nigeria,, Courtesy should be inclusive..

I mean Like "Sir" of "Ma" it goes a long way.

...next time, add Sir

Rubbish

Hahahahahahah very funny! in this part of the world its an insult ooo, me I see pride in all our bosses o, if not pride someone asked u "How are u? na question naw

Zoo mentality

Your issues are beyond you... seek help, did you notice how the average IQ of everyone on FP seems to differ from yours...


"Its a pity the first sperm fertilizes the egg"

What kind of nonsense is that?
Go ask those Police for road how are you?
Body go tell u

there is nothing wrong in d above....just dat he would hv garnished it with words like sir , chief etc average Nigerian boss wants to b seen being on top of his subordinates.

I remember going to the dentist in Abuja. Two people already before it gets to my turn. Then came this young man with severe toothache behind me. He was pacing all around the place, tears flowing like a baby. So the receptionist called the doctor to attend to him urgently.

Then the dentist, a white woman stepped out to the waiting area, moved straight to him and asked - how are you, sir?

The visibly unwell patient responded: "I'm fine. I'm fine."

Dentist: If you are fine, then why are you here? Tell me how you are so that I can know how to help you. Lol

This short story may seem unconnected to the topic of discuss, but I just remembered it and felt like sharing.

Back to topic: Nothing is wrong with asking someone about their well being, boss or servant.

Very common here , some asian teens will ask u ... How are you without minding ur damn AGE ...

He should simply say 'É how are you' like we Yorubas address an elderly person. Nothing pesin no go see for this country..


Meanwhile, lemme go and take care of my body odour.

He his lucky that Oga didn't fire him

You no dey fear?

...........the guy would've plaited his hair to work or left his shirt open na.

People should learn the culture of wherever they find themselves. They quickly accept the culture of foreigners and won't accept ours so it's certainly "not acceptable" to say that to your boss unless he tells you too

it's earned

nonsense

Husty:
.

how are you?

Why will you greet your boss how are you? You think say na yankee you dey? You couldn't even put sir.

Husty:
.

Smh, must u be on FP?

If you're in your right senses you will not just say 'How Are You' but you always try to add something to make it some more of sense. Like 'How Are You Doing'. It is believe that 'how are you' is meant for age mates and friends.
