9 Undeniable Facts About Working in a Nigerian Office

.

Office flirtation and romance is the norm

Thanks to bureaucracy, the basic Nigerian office is a boring place… and as expected, most of the workers look for ways to entertain themselves. Since they get to spend a lot of time with each other, colleagues start to find their colleagues – even the ones they normally would not give the time of the day – attractive.
They flirt around and this flirtation sometimes develops into full blown romance and drama. Even some married workers forget their marriage vows while at the office and chase after office interns – with hope to spice up their office life despite the risk of a scandal.
The worst is when a boss starts to make life miserable for a lower staff because they would not sleep with them. Some would even go as far as stripping the staff of their job.
Some Nigerian offices actually have a functional system that allows for maltreated workers to report sexual harassment, but due to the stigma, most now take it into their own hands.
Some have given in, only to record the sexual escapade and use it against these heartless bosses. There has even been a case where the victim set up a meeting with the boss in a hotel, only to arrive with two hefty men who beat the man to a pulp.

Your co-workers are your worst enemies

Office politics is a key aspect of your relationship with your colleagues in Nigerian offices and no matter what you do, you know, without a doubt, that you cannot really trust anyone.
It appears everyone is power hungry and so there is too much ass-licking to get to the top. Due to this, your co-workers -who you probably spend more time with than your family and friends- sometimes, become your worst enemies. The worst kinds are the ones who seems nice and friendly, but secretly believe they are in competition with you and as so they start to plot your downfall without you doing anything to offend them. They closely observe you in order to gain the ammunition they can use against you should the need arise.

Fortunately, there are also a few co-workers who turn out to be god-sent; despite the general idea that they are your worst enemies, they help you grow in the system. Some even provide you with opportunities that you would not have had access to, otherwise.

Men almost always rule the day

Thanks to the feminist movement, women are more empowered now than they were in the past. There are actually female bosses, female CEOs and female managers in Nigerian offices now. There are even female ministers and senators in the government as well. Despite this improvement, women with these positions still have to grapple with the traditional idea that men are superior in Nigerian offices. There seems to be this undying notion that it is “a man’s world”, and as such, subservient roles are still to relegated to women. For instance, in a team of men and women, the women will be expected to organize refreshments, or a female will be expected to serve the tea at the board meeting. Even the lowest staff would feel such roles are beneath him and a senior colleague will have to do it, just because she is female. True, women empowerment is on the rise and things are changing. In some offices, especially female dominated offices, these changes as a result of women empowerment are noticeable; but overall, the effects of these changes are minimal.

The salary is never enough

Have you ever noticed how almost every Nigerian office worker has a side hustle? They are always on the search for a second source of income? This is because they are never paid enough to meet up with the basic lifestyle of a civil servant. Again, discriminatory pay practices are the norm, and as such people are milked to the barest minimum. They are hardly paid based on a general salary schedule.
Even more, bonuses and raises also do not come easily to everyone. The few offices that try to extend benefits to all their staff regulate it and make it a form of competition for the entire staff.

Working in a Nigerian office is something almost every Nigerian would have to experience at one point or the other and while the truths listed above leaves very little for prospective workers to look forward to, it is important to keep them at the back of the mind.

Well, I guess my original post didn't indicate anything such as hate for Efe or any other contestant. How's Tboss manipulative?

Nigerians liking HMs is relative as shown by votes which had always saved Tboss over others.

Mr Man save your data ,let the best win, all I wish for is for the votes to actually count for itself. As for you , you are contradicting yourself save your data. Meanwhile let me ask you didn't you notice that Tboss was treated specially and was never cautioned when she breaks any rule , you won't see that I guess

solid3:


TTT lost so many Nigerians due to the fact that he denied his wife and children for money sake.

As for Tboss, she was up 8 times and was saved 8 times, that should let you know she's loved by many Nigerians.

As for the sense part, I obviously have more sense than you.

You are contradicting yourself once more, meanwhile are you in BBN office do you know how they calculate the votes, you don't remember that most Nigerians don't like Tboss because she is manipulative and she is a fake person, mr OP please if you hate any contestant there keep it to yourself

BlowBack:

Yes they do and that's what has kept Tboss in the house.
Bbn will employ the collegiate system.
Efe wins Nigeria but Tboss wins Africa.
Efe wins the majority count but Tboss wins the college votes

There is nothing in the whole world worth more than a best friend

aribisala0:
You are senseless and unreasonable. Why do folk alway introduce sentimentality into business.So all the other women serving up and down the country do not want to start families or how to get pregnant.

There are rules for pregnancy in the NYSC. She is trying to be clever by half.

She should stop the service and look after her baby and when she is ready go back to serve or apply for an exemption.

I do not know why we must use blakmail as part of our national culture and psyche.


What next you will ask for people taking exams to be given special treatment because they are pregnant or nursing? There is atime and place for everything. A time to serve and a time to get pregnant and have babies and haveing babies should not be used to blackmail anyone.

long story please cut it short if your mother wasn't pregnant with you how would you be in this world, why not start a protest that married women all over the world should stop getting pregnant move that protest and let's see how reasonable you are

ReaLFuckingOG:

My wife daughters and sisters won't be foolish to go for something as strenuous as nysc while pregnant or nursing a child. So take a seat _/ beetch and

You are a wicked person its your type that will beat their wives and manhandle them you see a young woman with her child who is suffering not even a pity from you all you could say is that they deserve it .You are more wicked and heartless than the devil you don't deserve anything good

ReaLFuckingOG:

Nysc or ur baby? Choose one! I thought nysc said they would no longer accept nursing mothers and pregnant ladies. If na me be ur boss i no go even send you. Infact u will work from 8am to 6pm including weekends. You know u want to serve and yet u went and fvck and got pregnant. I hate all these women always using their pregnancy and baby to play victims so that they can always be favoured. That's how they irritated me during my service 2 years back.
Fvck y'all. ..

YOU are a wicked and heartless person may this same situation be the fortune of your wife ,your daughters and your sisters

LordOfNaira:

but its true now apart from Korede Bello ,tiwa Savage who else dey power for mavins record

there are three main versions to this case TONTO DIKES Version Churchill version and the truth version. But one thing I do know for sure is that there maybe a little atom of truth from both sides

This is very complicated, my opinion is that they should try their possible best to reconcile.

pellswizz:

My Own is everyone should mind their own business and leave them to sort out whatever its wrong with their marriage

hobermener:
Im so shocked many people ardently follow this filthy programme that seeks to promote moral decadence among our youths and younger ones. To think that a girl unabashedly let out her bosoms for a guy to suck like a baby whose been starved of breast milk since birth on national tv, while nigerians applaud and watch in sheer admiration, shows you how far deep our nation has sank into the pit of shamelessness and immorality. At a time when the nation is consistently being raped from all sides by clueless kleptomaniacal politicians, the youths prefer to sit back as arm chair critics and tag as cowards, those who choose to speak up for not going into aso rock to remove the clueless one, while they comfortably gossip online.
SHAME

This one na long story abeg you fit summarize am in two lines the story is too long for me to read.
