When yes means maybe: Doing business in Nigeria CNN: STORY HIGHLIGHTS http://edition.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/08/31/business.etiquette.nigeria/index.html Comments in the Cnn Forum |

According to Foster, as long as you understand the cultural etiquette, doing business in Nigeria can offer vast opportunities. But, he says, success comes down two key factors: contacts and commitment. Foster is adamant business in Nigeria can be a rewarding experience -- and not just financially. so whats bad about this article, look at the glowing compliments |

1. Agreeing with people is considered to be a sign of respect. Nigerians generally say "yes" to a request because their respect for you does not allow them to say "no." this is a solution to all those fights on Nairaland, everyone should just agree and say yes sir yes ma! simples! |

The bright side of the article is that, it paints a picture that doing business in Nigeria can potetially pay dividends. However, 90% of the article shows Nigeria's volatility in establishing a working sytem. It is also written as an arlet to those who may wish to do business over there. It talks about contacts and commitment: that in stable economies cannot serve as a determinant for good business. |

@OP I don't agree with you that the article painted Nigeria black. The writer is obviously someone who has done some real research on Nigeria because he actually presented the facts as they are. He gave the positives and negatives, and he tried to rationalize the reasons for it and he was not in anyway sarcastic about his remarks. This is unlike some other reports that i've seen that look like they were written from the seat of a plane. This report is a very honest evaluation of the situation on ground. Thanks to the reporter for being factual. |

Factual truth abt Naija. 3. Do not eat everything on your plate; leaving some food is a signal that you have had enough. If you clean your plate, you are indicating that you want more food. |

4. Nigerians tend to stand close to each other while speaking. If you are uncomfortable conversing at this distance, try to refrain from backing up. so why do we still talk like we have loudspeakers in our mouth?? |
Re: CNN: Doing Business In Nigeria (Review Of Dan Foster's Book) by shilling(f): 7:02am On Sep 03, 2010 |
Dis Guy: I was also wondering about that. I've never noticed that about Nigerians whenever I visit - standing so close. I feel super-uncomfortable when a person does that. |
Re: CNN: Doing Business In Nigeria (Review Of Dan Foster's Book) by rasputinn(m): 7:22am On Sep 03, 2010 |
The day a man as unserious as Dan Foster(sorry Dan,but you know what I mean)writes a book about doing business anywhere,,,,,,,, ,,,,.,.,.,., |
Re: CNN: Doing Business In Nigeria (Review Of Dan Foster's Book) by agitator: 7:44am On Sep 03, 2010 |
MTN knew about this and they are the greatest in africa, vodacom didn't and they lost Julius Berger also towed this line, and some new foreign construction companies are following their footsteps. |
Re: CNN: Doing Business In Nigeria (Review Of Dan Foster's Book) by Jakumo(m): 7:54am On Sep 03, 2010 |
shilling: Please don't feel uncomfortable, since a true Nigerian conversation is not in progress until you can SMELL the breath and body odor of the person invading your personal space, and feel your ears ringing from the glass-breaking volume of their speech. |
