hmmmm hard inefficient work not smart efficient work. Somebody give that man Glorious a chilled glass of palm wine. I am in total agreement with you. They will rather be perceived to be working than actually working. It’s all a show. Eye service . It’s a form of witchcraft if you ask me lmaooo. This is just to piggy back off of your solid point. Eye service wink
Then the summary of the logic is that we don't work hard, period! angry

but brother if you deliver a shoddy job just to collect your money that means you are not hardworking lol

Oga Sukkot, I understand what you are saying. But I think you are not getting the context right in my opinion

I believe hardworking means someone who invests his time, energy,resources,convenience etc into a work. But whether he produces satisfactory output is a different matter.

For example, If a persons leaves home by 5am in order to get to work by 8am, closes by 5pm to get home by 10pm as most Lagosians do, then that's hardwork. That routine is not a child's play. However, half of his time at work might be used to chat instead of being productive so while he is depriving himself sleep to go to work, we can say he is working hard but unproductive.

The reason why lots of Nigerians are unproductive is because we don't see our work as a service but just a means to get money. It's like I put in the effort, you pay me my money. Whether the result is unsatisfactory or not that one no concern me,just pay me my money.

I think we are hardworking but unprofessional and unproductive

There's some wisdom in OP's post. The lazy lifestyle of Nigerians is why they can't stomach living in the West. It's a place where you have to earn your dollar.

I agree with you except on 2 issues.
The west is not anti social as you portray it. Anyone who wants to be social will always find social things to do, the thing is there is time to work and time to play, we don't mix it up, it is an organized society

You are right when you say people don't have your time in the west but in Nigeria the reason why people have your time is not necessarily by choice but by design.


For instance, when you live in a flat and you don't have light on a Saturday evening with heat making your life miserable, what do you do? You will come out to receive fresh air, your neighbors experiencing the same thing will come out too before you know it you are chatting and laughing with your neighbors, getting to know them and forming some kind of bond. When you go across the street to buy something, you meet someone that lives across the street coming to the same shop and you start talking. If Nigeria is a country with 24/7 light, you have AC and cheap unlimited wifi internet and no street trading like we have here, do you think people will be coming out to chat with neighbors? The streets will be quieter as people will rather watch movies, chop kpomo etc than coming out to gossip and feel good. People will have less time for neighbors. For example, how many people do you see on the street in those beautiful estates in Lekki and Ikoyi compared to streets in Ogba,Ojota, Surulere etc?

Secondly Nigerians work hard. The only problem with Nigerians is lack of quality customer service orientation. He can work all the hard but deliver a shoddy job cos he cares less about quality but just the money. If his salary is guaranteed at the end of the month, he can leave his house by 5am and get to work by 7am and still play around without delivering any tangible output and come back by 10pm. If his pay is dependent on finishing the job, he can even work overnight without sleep but delivers a shoddy job just to collect his money. Our service level in Nigeria is too poor cos all we care about is money not necessarily that we don't work hard.



You are very bright.

Truth of the matter is that if you are a social animal and you hate working hard and you like awoof you will absolutely hate living in the west.

Those 3 things I described is the typical naija person right ? Love to parrryyyyy and if you employ them they will spend half the time gisting or playing on the job and they like awoof like this is why naijas love 419 or olosho, it’s like awoof easy money.

Ehn so this is why many get miserable in the west. The west there is no socializing, nobody has your time, the west there is no free money and finally if white man employs you to do 10 hours walahi you will do all 10 hours no slacking.

And so this is why Nigerians get miserable in the west but if you are a rare type of Nigerian who is a hermit and you are a loner who hates socializing and you hate awoof money and you just loveee working extremely hard, you will love oyinbo country.

If you believe in hard work, or like book and believe you can contribute your brain… you go enjoy abroad. In Nigeria, people don’t value your qualifications or brain work, but in abroad, the more you know, the better your opportunities. Na for Nigeria dem go tell you say your certifications or degrees or skills na waste

and add if you are smart too...your three qualities defined me. Took me 8yrs to get myself together and buy my land in Naija...work hard, go to school, improve yourself...
Be patient, be able to navigate life alone and stay away from those that will land you in trouble...if you use a stolen credit card by someone else...you can find yourself in jail...don't be desperate for relationship or sex...rape is long term jail sentence ...I have no regret..though I can write many books on my japa experience ...the suffererness is real too grin grin

To be forced to be hardworking is different from being naturally hard working. if not that new minister of interior it takes the average nigerian 6 months to produce one passport lmao. lazy pipo

You mean work hard like slaves

While other nationalities like paki, Indians, Lebanese, chinese, whites and others work smart and end up owning almost all the businesses and real estate, thengo on to take over the politics of their host.

If you are working extremely so hard, it means you are working in low skills jobs.

smiley even my Indian friend gives me good advise more than every nigerian friend smiley smiley, but some Nigerians are very friendly and sensible, you just have to be a good judge of character.

Is because we are suspecting each other, and is hard to trust ourselves.

Everything is not all about money, good character, good advise and sharing good knowledge is something appreciated from true good friends.

Nigerians should stop excessive jelousy and trying to show who is who.

Other Africans can be okay too, but Nigerians are there forming grin grin grin

cool


Well from my own experience oo, Nigerians or Japarians are hardworking and not lazy

Pakistani, Indian, Lebanese, Arab, comiunity would gather together to socialize, help themselves, intermarry, network

Nigerian neighbors won't even great themselves

One time our philipino HR back then needed, workers, overseas ... see as Pakistani, Indian were submiting CV for there people, we Nigerians submit nada, no help, we still dey survive

Sorry to say if you are working hard abroad then it must be either factory or service doing some repetitive jobs.

If you are working in offices, there are softwares to make your job faster and more efficient.

bro stop capping. The country is a shithole for a reason. Even your senators all go to the chambers to sleep. The only thing that motivates a Nigerian is money and even at that he will try to cut corners. The ones who are doing well have to be put in white systems and white countries under heavy white supervision

That means you cut corner too

Have you been to government office in naija ? Are the Nigerians there different from the ones abroad ?
