Why Does Everyone Want To Cheat? by Omooba77: 11:06am On Jul 15, 2020 |
We blame our politicians, but the truth is that we may be worse off, giving same opportunity. I watched our space, religion body, artisans, students, lecturers we are all the same with little exception. When you blame our leaders, check your life, am I straight forward too. God bless Nigeria................................ |

Omooba77: My dear every good and perfect gift comes from GOD, if they say it's God that gave them the opportunity no problems but make sure you use it wisely and not in a corrupt way. |

Interesting that you should bring this up at this time, because it coincides with what some of us have been discussing in the investment part of this forum. Here is one experience by ultron12345, just to tell you the scale of how bad situations are now and how it is impacting on investments.

Has corruption becomes part of our culture? |
Re: Why Does Everyone Want To Cheat? by Omooba77: 11:34am On Jul 15, 2020 |
ojesymsym: Very apt. Give someone building project to supervise, he will be building his own with your materials and he will be undercutting payment to staff workers. We are just a dishonest nation. If you go to companies, they barely survive despite huge revenue. Same with government setups, some director earn salaries of 50 with inflated vouchers. |

Whenever I remember how I was duped in Alaba market by 12 men without blinking an eye with their language despite my plea for clean deal, non of them can actually tell the other it wasn't right, it teaches my a non palatable lesson, you might you are simple and do no one no wrong, some others are like devouring devils with their devilish intention, it seems the whole Africa is infected with sentiment and greed. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Why Does Everyone Want To Cheat? by Omooba77: 11:55am On Jul 15, 2020 |
BlowYourMind: One major reason why Africa and Nigeria may remain underdeveloped, some people prefer to put their money in bank rather than any business. Everybody wants to live fast life. It is only in Nigeria you buy something and the sale person will be thinking you leave the change for him or her. Abroad your exact change will be handed over to you. |

Religious and ethnic fanaticism is the cause. This hampered the unmitigated dispensing of justice even at the topmost. Take away religious and ethnic biases and people will be free to think more objectively and independently to understand that loyalty to country is his Civic responsibility to perform. |

ojesymsym: Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses. Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home A friend owned a poultry in PortHarcourt, he had to shut it down when liabilities became unbearable. I know someone that owns a fashion home; one of the boys was stealing to play bet. One day he stole forty thousand naira meant for buying material and he never showed up in the shop till today. |

Omooba77:It's leadership failure. Leadership both at home and at the top. The role of mentorship has been eroded. |
Re: Why Does Everyone Want To Cheat? by ChoCho54(f): 1:01pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
Omooba77:Your last paragraph, consider that our police was functioning optimally, fishing out the absconding boy would serve as a deterrent to others. Brings us back to leadership failure. The heart of man is desperately evil and it cuts across race and Creed. But if I know that I would surely face consequences of my actions if cut, it will deter me. 1 Like 1 Share |

A cousin brought her daughter for an exam in my part of Lagos. As she sat down, I noticed straight away she looked stressed. I asked how's business (a large poultry in another part of Lagos). Come & hear story. Her employees have finished her with stealing. They'll kill the chickens, throw it over the fence where accomplices would collect to sell to restaurants. Even the security man was involved. So bad. |

Re: Why Does Everyone Want To Cheat? by SamJed(m): 2:08pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
See this thing called greed and cheating is inbuilt in us....lets be true to ourself, it's only self discipline and probably spirituality that helps one to overcome it. We are always looking for ways to profit off something whether legal or not. Let me use myself as example. I did a job for someone and got paid, a white guy precisely. Another Nigerian guy did the same type of job for the same white man but could not receive his money due to restriction related to Nigeria. He made the mistake of not negotiating his payment method first before delivery the job. So this white guy contacted me to pay me the guy's money and give it to him. Gbam that Nigerian spirit entered me. I started thinking of how to make profit from that. I had to come back to my senses because of my discipline and fear of God o. Now not everyone has this discipline and that is our issue. You will see someone packing billions that he can't use. The average Nigerian is greedy because of indiscipline. We don't just know when to stop. |

myboy2111: Camera has its limitations. If you're only getting a few hours power per day, camera installation won't help much. Even battery powered camera won't help. They'll just use a stick to turn the camera away for a few minutes while the deed is done. And what happens when they cut the wires and everyone claims they no nothing about it. Remember also that installing enough cameras in a large poultry is costly. If workers want to frustrate you ehn, you'll regret the day you made the mistake of starting that business. |

Omooba77:You are close to affirming that Africans are subhumans, but you won't be wrong. |
Re: Why Does Everyone Want To Cheat? by ChoCho54(f): 2:28pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
myboy2111:True. Because of lack of funds and most times lack of proper business plan, many businesses will continue to suffer these things. Technological solutions to manpower deficiency is usually lacking in the plan of most businesses. People are corrupt all over the world, but with a strong system, they are deterred. Have you not seen how some shop owners alert their customers about the presence of cameras, they are not interested in catching you, but to deter you. |

ojesymsym: Very true my brother.. A tokunbo grade A Toyota Sienna grade was bought for transport business to the East, the driver went to mechanic workshop, changed the engine. Unknown to him, the engine number was well documented. After series of complain, the car was towed to Lagos, alas when it was dismantled alas it was not same engine. God will help us to amend our ways........................ |
