African Time: Seven Places Or Events You Should Never Attend Late by Olusharp(m): 5:00am On Apr 22, 2018 |
Back then as children, many people had the opportunity of being woken up by parents or guardians. Some people got use to it that it became a part and parcel of them as adult, they expect someone to wake them up while at sleep. This has also made some people get used to the act of getting late to any event or place. Getting late to an event has become an habit to a number of people. In Africa for example, there is something called ‘African Time.’ African Time means you don’t have to necessarily arrive at an event or place at the specified time. Why? Because there is always a general belief that the event wouldn’t start at the actual time stated. In most cases in Africa, this is always true. However, there are some events or places one should not make use of African time. They include the following, 1. An Interview. They say first impression matters. As a job seeker or applicants getting to a place for interview late or at an African time will not speak well to the employer. 2. Business meeting. Punctuality is the sole of business. So arriving late for a business meeting when other business partners are seated shows such person is not a serious type. 3. Court of Law. This is another place one must never arrive late especially if you are among the parties awaiting judgement. Arriving late at the court of law could mean the earlier case could be postponed to a later date. 4. The class of a tough lecturer. Many students will agree to this fact. There are some lecturers in tertiary institutions you daren’t enter their class when they are in. 5. Religion Houses. Though many people don’t take this serious. As they have arrive at religious houses anytime that pleases them. Another is on a wedding day, if one of the groom or the bride arrive late on their wedding ,a lot of fears would have arise prior to their arrival. It is your wedding day nor a ‘shocking’ day. Always remember to keep to time! Source: https://thrillngr.com/2018/04/22/african-time-seven-places-events-never-attend-late/ 2 Likes

God knows hw much I hate Africa time. I prefer getting to the venue few minutes to the schedule time and wait dan rushing to the venue. U will nw look so dis organize and confused, no chair to sit, no food to chop. Bleep dem late comers. I can remember when I followed my mum to a wedding years back, she was just talking abt irrelevant tins with her friends until we got dere late, no chair to sit, the rice we manage to get add no meat. I was just angry throughout 11 Likes |
