Why Are Workers Of Government Corporations So Rude? by Afam4eva(m): 7:01pm On Sep 06, 2013
I have been to a lot of government parastatals, from NITEL to NEPA to NPF to WAEC to Immigration office and the story is the same. Their staff have a very bad customer service. These people have no regard for human beings. They just speak to people anyhow they like like they own the person's life. There was a day i went to passport office and the way they talked to me, made my self-esteem to drop. Those people are very wicked and bitter lot.

I've always wondered why they're like this. I can understand the NPF to some extent because they're not well paid but i don't think staff of other government parastatls are badly paid. So, what's the source of their bitterness?

It's a symptom of the general lack of professionalism that is abound in the civil service. There is barely any supervision of the workers, or goals set for each civil servant to accomplish. Hence, the "I don't care" attitude displayed by them.

I agree with you.
Though not all, but most Nigerian government corporation workers are rude.
However, I have no idea why they are like that. . .
Maybe they are greedy underpaid workers. . .

You call it Rude?...tis like you've been outta naija for a while. Its the Naija attitude. Thats while the few ones that are still clutching to their sanity keep complaining abt the levels of ethical, social and moral decay, the levels of impunity, nepotism and corruption in virtually all the system of government. Nothing is working in Asyllumland

I understand that the average Nigeria can be rude but these people take it to a whole new level. You rarely see this rudeness in private companies owned by Nigerians. It's mostly in public corporations. It means it goes beyond them being Nigerians. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

Its typical Nigeria where no one answers to nobody but their pockets. President not answerable to the citizens, police serving only VIPs, Justice goes to the highest bidder, so what do u expect from your ordinary civil servant. He doesn't give a damn like his president its a shit hole here, every one is in it for the money so f__k service! I live in Abuja and deal with civil servants almost on a daily basis Nigeria has the most unproductive and mediocre civil service in the whole world. If u know any else pls say with facts.

The Government job is more of a family inheritance than it should be. Since it happens that a family member of theirs is @ d top, they did nt suffer to get d job, SSCE certificates, low IQ n etiquette, they are never scared of d ‘sack palava‘ like we have in d private sector. Ur chances of reduced ego increases more when you come across women especially. They‘ll treat you lik a piece of ‘trash‘

Hence my adding 'impunity'....an unqualified civil servant sits lazily at his/her desk, abusing and neglecting pple he/she is paid to serve, and nobody calls him/her to order/senses
Re: Why Are Workers Of Government Corporations So Rude? by Nobody: 2:36pm On Sep 08, 2013
Government workers are generally rude everywhere you go.

The DMV and post office in the USA is one shining example. grin

Most government workers don't understand the concept of customer service since government entities are not about profits and employees have good job security.

Four times out of five, these civil servants are by far the rudest, most unkind and officious civil servants that I have seen in my life. It is like they have been inoculated with a meanness vaccine.

Once you're a civil servant, you have to work harder to get fired than to do your job to stay employed. Their positions are are quite secure and in order to get fired, one would have to commit an extremely serious offense. . .being merely rude to a citizen who needs help apparently does not qualify as a "serious offense". . .Most of these civil servants realize this and apparently enjoy taking advantage of their perceived "power".

Very simple, most people are working, not because they enjoy it, but because they have no choice, hence the frustration. This is why you will see a teacher beat a student like crazy just for a minor offence.

Re: Why Are Workers Of Government Corporations So Rude? by 3ace(m): 12:59pm On Sep 13, 2013
It is because "ogo ta, ogo ota; owo alaru ape. Meaning that whether the Ministries or organisations make money or not, the government will always pay their salaries since the resources of the nation are at their disposal. Another reason is that there's job security with government jobs. Except you extremely crossed your boundary, people hardly get sacked. Nobody gives you target as a condition to keeping your job. In fact, there's a huge level of certainty that your job is safe till your retire so why wouldn't they misbehave?
