Indian managers don't know exact meaning of being manager. In their heads, they literally own you; they don't say no to clients and then literally overload the workers. They need soft skills training and if this does not work, they should get kick on their ass.

One Indian production manager in one company I once worked for would always tell us that the day God shared d1cks and b00bs and nyashes, Africans were the first to arrive.

But the day God shared brains, African blacks were nowhere to be found. He would always call Nigérians brainless people.

The MD of the company who's a Nigerian later fired the Indian production manager and sent him back to his country.

PS: Looking at what's happening in this country now, I no blame the man. Nigerians behave like brainless people during elections.

Depends on the perspective of the person speaking.

Employers tend not to like them, but Business owners love them.

I'll speak based on my experience with them, as a business owner.

Several years ago, I had serious difficulties managing various businesses I had set up. The staff dealt with me. Forging of invoices, theft of inventory, inflation of contracts, there's nothing they didn't do.

The Nigerian workers were out to finish me.
Like they say, "where person dey work, na there e dey chop, hence the name, workchop (workshop)".

You sack and replace them, the new ones continue from where the old ones stopped. They will even improve their techniques of stealing so as not be caught like their predecessors.

After trying so many methods to reduce all this, from utilizing tech and automating several processes, to involving relatives, it came to my realization that the only way to stop all this was to run the businesses myself, to be "on ground" always, but that wasn't possible. So I planned to start shutting them down and to focus only on one. I told a friend who was also a businessman about my challenges and plans, hoping he would be able to purchase some of the assets I was hoping to sell from the shutdown businesses. He recommended I hire indian management. I wasn't keen at first, but finally decided to try it.

To put it shortly, I eventually got an Indian manager for one of the businesses and it worked like magic. Business began to be good. Profit began to come in. For the first time, I could be away and still be confident and relaxed that my business is in good hands. Apparently, the business troubles we had been having weren't because of "bad economy", it was because of "bad workers" who were out to build houses on my head.

Today, the businesses are growing from strength to strength. All key positions are occupied by indians. If I'm starting a new business today, all key positions go to indians by default.

I have recommended the "indian solution" to so many business people, at least 5 of which have adopted it this year alone, and it has been good stories since then. Not a single one of them has regretted the decision.

The simple truth is that the average Nigerian is corrupt and is a thief. Those who have not stolen have not done so simply because of lack of opportunity.

And that's why our country is like this, after all, the leadership is a representation of the citizenry. Nigerians are a bad people and have rightly given rise to bad leaders.

Below is a post I made few years ago about this same issue.

I have worked with an Indian, Chinese and lebaneese. They are all terrible only that an Indian Is the worst among them. An Indian would overwork you, disrespect and would under under pay you. Most times an Indian still leech on your token of salary that the company pays it's Nigerian workers . In other parts of Nigeria, they are cautious abit when dealing with its workers but in LAGOS they just does anyhow because nobody questions them. They acts like they feeds you in Lagos. If you want to Enjoy your life try working with an European or An American. My best memory of working with an expacterate was with a Belgium national.

I read the post you quoted some weeks back and as someone who had managed the family's business, I knew competency wasn't really the issue, but honesty. So, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I don't know how the Indians do it, but I am very open to employing them to run everything. Even if na to give them a stake in the company, no problem.

Well, very correct, but;


I have been working with olam for years and never regret for one second,,One of the best place to work as a staff.

Though, olam groups is multinational .

When the religious leaders keeps telling them to pray for a destiny helper what do you expect would happen

They we say small work big money just imagine the nonsense.. I'll say it again and again, the problems started from the religious leaders who is always feeding it's congregation with false hope.

You no get work you dey expect alert no be JuJu be that(stealing)

westlius:
Good day Sir,
with all due respect Indians are not the best, I am an Auditor and I worked where I audit them, they bring profits to the company but not all, any time I query the accountant, I see lots of frauds and when I ask she tells me ask oga.
I also found out the Indian boss makes sizable profit for the MD.
my take is this we have good Nigerians but we pay them poorly, pay a Nigerian very well, forget or minimum wage and see ur company grow

Investors and business owners like to hire them as mangers because they bring results. Workers don't like them because they don't want stress.

fxexperts:
yes you are right Indians are very corrupt and they steal from company, but they try to do it intelligently by trying to cover the books and they steal with conscious, but you see Nigerians they will literarily run your company to the ground with no mercy. and when your company folds up they will open your company for themselves, they will literally move from employees to big time employer with your company funds. Nigerians steal without conscious.

shegzee43:
You think Indians are better than Nigerians in terms of honesty? My God, you haven't seen anything. They always show up with that mien of piety. They will shock you afterwards.

VHILL:
They are worst set off people to work with.
Just know any document you submit to them goes to their coven. Very fetish set of people
