its too early to start complaining, by the time China starts taking over our national airport, rail lines, seaports , aso rock vila and strategic assets due to inability to service Chinese APC loans . we all would be required to swear and pledge allegiance to buhdist monks before been allowed to comment on nairaland. Because by then even the banning mods jobs of nairaland mynd22 would have been taking over by Chinese

Lijuan:
When PUNCH Metro visited Yiwu Baolian Import and Export Company Limited, on Plot 36 Irede Road, Abule Osun, Ojo , Lagos , Lijuan denied introducing Buddhism in the company , adding that she wanted the employees to bow as a sign of humility, because they were arrogant.
She stated that she never sacked anyone because of religion , adding that she had fostered harmony among different religions.

Lijuan said , “I never introduced Buddhism; they are just lying . What I observed is that some of the workers are very arrogant ; even their body language shows that they are not respectful. So , we are learning some ways of living ; humility and respect ; and what I want them to do is a sign of humility – bow your body and stop being arrogant.

Fake news.
Bhuddism is never a proselytizing religion.
They don't preach or çonvert new adherents.
What we have here is cultural clash and explosion
of long-held anger and distrust.

God bless the Chinese for this. We Nigerians are tired of Christianity and Islam. It has brought pains and bloodshed over the years. If you can't be a Buddhist, remain jobless

“ This is bad ; we can ’ t be in our country and be treated like that. In Nigeria, nobody can force you to worship their gods. It is only in Nigeria that a foreigner will come to do something like that

Esseite:


Most cant castigate the lady because it seems buddist are more peaceful than some toxic muslims & christians we have now.

Now we have Nigerians killing themselves over religious matters/beliefs we would leave for dead someday.

If the characters of the overly religious Nigerian workers could not effect a change on the single buddist, then are we really practising what we preach?

The NLC and the Minister for Labour needs to take this Woman and her compnay to court and the workers need to come together and institute a class action against the compnay!



First, this woman must be made to understand that she is in Nigeria, trading in Nigeria and employing Nigerians....not Chinese.
She must understand that every country has their own CULTURE and ways of showing Respect or Arrogance.
Bowing to a "foreign object" (be it a Budhist god) IS NOT a sign of respect in the nigerian culture, it is Idol worship and it is frowned upon by all Nigerian religion and cultures.

Secondly, this woman must be made to understand that she employed these Nigerians TO DO A JOB..... not to bow or to determine their reverence or attitude".
Once they do their job as specified in their employment terms, she has no right to force them to bow to some lifeless Budha object or intimidate them with sacking.

Her claim that they are arrogant (who determines that? Arrogant to who?) as being the reason she is asking them to "bow to an object" is stupid, laughable and slavish!

If she thinks they are arrogant, she should let the "Budha object" speak with its own mouth and explain to Nigerians, how not bowing ot it translates to arrogance .... if the lifeless object can actually speak or determine who is arrogant.

Nigerians cannot go to China and tell them to worship Muhammad or Jesus, in China so how come this woman, a later-day slave master, think she can force her employees, who have their own cultrure and religion, bow to her useless idol image?

NLC and the Minister for Labour should come to the rescue of these workers and force the woman to pay the sacked workers adequate compensation for torutre and work-place harrassment.
The company should also be warned sternly to restrict its activities to BUSINESS or get the phuck out of Nigeria, if it wants to practice "religion".

A work place is for work, not for worship of the owners idols.
Enough is enough.

Unacceptable!

We need our government (at all levels), labor unions, politicians and good people of Nigeria to rise and stop these manners of barbaric move by the Chinese & Koreans enslaving Nigerians on their mother&fatherland.


Buhary must hear this..............
