MissMeiya:Lol, i live in NY too. I am never late to stuff (well sometimes... but its because of those stupid buses) but I also understand the lateness culture too. Living in the Caribbean as well as Naija made me get used to it. As you said, people are so uptight over here thats why they are so grumpy. Haha |

Guidette: LOL. That's why they say New Yorkers are unfriendly. But really, we're just pissed because the train was late as hell... I don't know if I could ever get used to it. I don't do well with indefinite waiting. |

MissMeiya:I try to be nice once in a while and I think it surprises people because they dont understand, hahaha. I usually dont like waiting either because I have somewhere to be always. If you think the trains are bad, you should try the buses. I just started taking a bus route and it is hell!!!! The luxury I had of walking to work everyday is gone!! 1 Like |

@ OP Your writing would have been clearer if you have defined your version of "concept of time" for us. Your writing would have been clearer if your "observation" was limited to your physical and cultural setting rather than making a generalized statement on you perceived " concept of time management" as regards black people. Your writing would have been a little clearer if you had not made attempt to link your "concept" of time to development and economic advancement. Your writing would have been a little clearer if you had not attempt to link time within the narrow concept of your "own" existence.. Your writing could stand on its own merit without attempting to "denegrate" the black man/woman because of "inherent" hatred for them and what they do within their cultural norms and values. thanks and be well 1 Like |

The African man has long given up the race with father clock; saying that after all man invented the clock, the clock did not invent man. Why then should the created torment the creator. |

African Time is a phrase or slang in Nigeria depicting lateness or time wasting...........poor time management has been part and parcel of Nigerians e.g long sermon and long church service.....sundays should be a resting day at least 4 hours is enough for church service, road transport workers are poor in time management, they waste passengers' time a lot, events and programmes in most places don't usually start on stipulated time(maybe 10a.m)it might be 12 they wil start and lastly most civil servants are fond coming late to work unlike their private counterpart that are mindful of time for fear of not loosing their job or income reduction...............I'm guilty of this at times,may God help us to be time conscious 1 Like |
