Thank You Big B1 for this thread.

I believe that a law should be made that limits the number of expatriates a Nigerian company can have in her Management.

In my company, the management has no faith in Nigerias.

The Accountant is Indian. The Marketing Manager is Indian. The Factory manager is Indian. The Store Keeper is Lebanese.

The General Manager is Lebanese.

The only two Nigerians in Management are the Chairman and the Human Resources Manager.

The only other Nigerians in the company are secretaries, personal assistants, technicians, e.t.c.

The Government needs to formulate a policy that would force companys to have Nigerians in half of their senior management positions.

Haba.

tell me it is a lie please. tell me Indians are not taking the jobs back home. Because they do this anywhere they go, very leechy types. Here you will never see a black person working for an Indian, never happen, before you see white sef it is hard. they are very into themselves, take from you and never give back, where i live here my bank the Halifax was being run for years by a white guy and the staff there were very mixed, you had whites, blacks, Indian, oriental and one Greek girl(my fav) soon as the manager left in 2005 an Indian guy was put in charge and when i go in now for any banking the only faces i see in the branch are Indian staff, every single one of them is Indian. there are certain areas in the UK even if you are white you will never get a job, why? because an Indian is in charge and has all his friend's children working for him. This is the reality lets face it . I know nobody owes anyone a job, but that sort of practice breeds  resentment. Please if you think i lie check what happened between whites and Indians in Bradford, Leicester and Birmingham please.

They practice Nepotism to the fullest, Egoldman is correct in his post. those of you in Nigeria talking as if Nigerians don't work ,sit there all of you will see with your own eyes when the small job opening are no longer available to you because one Indian boss has already written employment letters to his nephew and cousins. somebody tell me it is not true abeg sad

Hypocrisy at its highest point. What gives you the right to complain when you have done the same thing based on religion to insult the muslims and on race to insult the arabs?

Working at the immigration dept years ago, I know Indians would arrive Nigeria with a technician's certificate but would apply for an engineers job. In those days, it was illegal for a foreigner to do a job Nigerians are equip to do.

our government needs to have more faith in nigerians. They think cuz they are sleek means everyone else is. They need to treat foreigners especially outside of africa or from north africa different. When we nigerians go to all these places we are treated like shit.

You don't,because you are racist.What else can you say about someone who describes an entire people as leeches?

Describing an entire people as leeches does not merely sound racist.It is blatantly racist.If an Indian described black people as leeches,you would be outraged and rightly so.


tell me it is a lie please. tell me Blacks are not taking the jobs back home. Because they do this anywhere they go, very leechy types.

back to topic jare!

very soon people will realize that the situation being addressed here is no joke. If only some would not deceive themselves, do we thinks the indians got so far by stabbing each other in the back? answer is NO.
measures should be taken like someone said here to make sure our interest are protected, sometimes i don't like quotas etc but i see the case for it. those here crying for the Indians , i f only you knew what they think of us. They think we are low caste humans for that reason why should i cry for them when they are smiling to the bank at our expense

Mr.I-man, do not get upset when an Indian man is running for Lagos state governor in few years, because this is where we are heading. The pride of our country is on the table for sale and I'm sure that it will be sold very soon if we continue to disregard important issue like this.

and the fact that he was trying to act like a new person was what Afam was talking about and is true , because when you read what he posted before we were told, he was using his new name to attack those he had issues with and basically was being dubious, if he was honest and said oh guys by the way it is me 4play my name has changed it would have been ok,thiefofhearts changed names and told all about it,i don't care very much for her but i respect the fact she was honest about that
Even I-man/4play's online friends didnt know his new persona.it is not a crime to change names completely but don't try and be smart and come at me or anyone else you don't like on Nairaland it all i say.  Anyway it is all gravy lmao

i agree oh. dem can call me racist that is no skin off my nose. i find it bizzare people who have no strong self belief. I live in the Uk and when people say '' oh all these effing immigrants taking our jobs'' now when whites say this , i do know where they are coming from.I am not stupid enough to think just becos i am here i can take liberties.

this is not a case of racism, xenophobia or control of private enterprise.  Every country should defend its own first, put its people's first.  No country is this world is 100% free market. The state has a role in the private sector,  its not about controlling nationality of who is employed.  In most countries, there are immigration laws that ensure that locals are considered for a job before a forienger,  in the UK if a  comapny wants to employ  a non UK citizen,  they have to prove that the UK citizens could not do the job,  before a foreigner is employed,   

In Nigeria,  it is which foreigner can do the job first, before they think of nigerians,   the case is not just about the indians but about our   labour policies in our country and general preference over anything/anyone not nigerian!

Spot on.

I find the assumption that that nigerians are not as diligent as indians rather ludicrous. I have worked with people from all races and come to a conclusion: Ones attitude to work is a function of the individual. It is absolutely independent of race or breed.

I man, did you say if they are qualified, they should run for governor. That statement was probably a joke right, cuz if u'r nigerian u 'll know that it is very impossible. How many black local government chairmen do they have in India. I agree dat we need to step our game up to be the contractors of the whole of Africa that way we can be the ones making and selling to the world.

If you believe in freedom of labour (whatever that is), then you should be against hiring people based on origin. If a company decides to hire only Indians, that is discrimination and it goes against your "freedom of labour". You contradict yourself and have no clue what you're talking about i.e., you're an idiot. Another dumbass that has no clue what freedom means!

I believe that every individual; should be given an EQUAL opportunity to work where they want, and not be discriminated against bAsed on ethnicity. Now that is freedom of labour.

all these people that read economic textbooks and spit what they read without understanding it sef. what in this world are you think.

why do you think australia,canada, uk and some other countries have immigration point or some form of hsmp type of schemes. dont you know they are protecting their own citizens?

if a company goes out to hire 'only indians' that is blatant racism!!
Re: Why Are The Indians Taking All Our Jobs Away From Us In Our Own Country? by DisGuy: 4:43pm On Jun 06, 2007
These systematic racism will continue until we sort out our education system, labour laws and also re-programme the IT and nysc schemes. most students in nigeria dont not have acess to relevant work experience whereas an indian can easy write about his several years working for patel and ghupta off liecense in mangement positions. remeber those job ads with 5year min work experience and no more than 22years old wink
