10 Most Hated Professions In Nigeria by kevinaduga(m): 4:21pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
In an attempt to lash at some ugly happenings in the society today, I decided to look at the performance of some jobs, especially how we Nigerians generally view them. One good thing about Nigeria is that the people do not hide their feelings no matter the situation. Anyway, the ten that we will consider have received more condemnation than the rest (my opinion). I wouldn't want to bother you with words, so, let us savour the gist. NOTE: I write with respect to the persons doing the job as you will notice. #10. BANKERS You probably have walked into a banking hall in the past and was very courteously addressed by a good-looking customer attendant or cashier or teller. You fantasized momentarily over his/her elegance only to be filled with venom on discovering that the job consumes them. Yes! The average banker (let us take the female) does not have time for her family, her love-life is a rumbling chaos and her smiles hardly go beneath the skin. I admire their services but will not want to call one my spouse, at least not yet. These are different from the risk of job loss at anytime. No wonder the increasing suicides among bankers globally #9. TRAFFIC WARDEN The most common reaction of a driver that has been caution by a warden is usually a chain of invectitude. Many drivers do not want anyone to remind them about putting on their seat belts. Even passengers consider wardens a waste of precious time. #8. HEADS OF TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS The degree of insult the Vice-chancellors, provosts and rectors receive from students and parents on daily basis is enough to destroy the sugarcane plantations of Brazil. It is not uncommon to hear a student remark "They have increased school fees again. God will punish that VC abundantly!", or "So after all my night candles, they want to embark on strike just two days to exam? Their reward is in hell" #7. TAX COLLECTORS It did not start today. As early as the days of Matthew the Tax Collector, we had already hated these people. Whether from the Board of Internal Revenue or from Local Government Areas, people hate to hear them knocking at the door. #6. BAILIFFS Their job is to seize the property of people that are not able to pay their debts as directed by the court of law. The worst part of it is that landlords now use them as thugs and they are extra-ruthless. Husband pleading, wife ashamed, children crying, yet the bailiff does his job without the minutest electron of remorse. #5. ESTATE AGENTS They are usually considered thieves and seen as dubious. An estate agent helps you get accommodation or sell a property, but certain agents can sell an accommodation to 4 different persons, and charge high as well. You now see the reason for the hatred? #4. ELECTRIC POWER TECHNICIANS Whenever they drive in their provoking vans through a street, series of scornful hisses follow. People get nervous on seeing them because two things are involved (in Basket Mouth's voice), power is either restored or terminated (which is the case in most cases). #3. POLICE OFFICERS Now this is disturbing. People has lost love for the very people that are supposed to be friends. Maybe it is the common harassment, nonchalance and corruption that has eaten into the force, and regretably into every section of the nation. #2. LAWYERS Lawyers usually thrive in atmospheres of trouble, quarrel, fights, crime and bull-headed polemics. They are quick to jump into frenzy or fracas just for your money. No news gladdens the heart of the average Nigerian than the passing on of a lawyer. When if hear that a bus full of lawyers have crashed into the Lagos lagoon, his ecstatic remark is almost certain to be "Ah! Great news! Hope there were no survivors? ". #1. POLITICIANS The politician is a proof that curses are impotent. Had there been power in curses, not one Nigerian politician will be alive today. For each soul that dies because of terrorism or penury or bad road or corruption or unemployment(consider the Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment saga) or neglect, they receive tons of curses. Remember the reaction of Nigerians during the "Go and Die Era". Lol! What of the rejection of national honours my citizens that wished to express their bitterness and the open letters? Do you agree with the list? Do you have a different opinion? You can add yours. |
