In a country with one of the highest unemployment rate, Nigeria is the weapon fashioned against herself.

Why can't Indians and Chinese stay in their respective countries?

GloriousGbola:
You are still missing the point. Indians are also corrupt. But they are for want of a better word, not stupid.. Nigerians regularly loot their companies into the ground. We regularly sell out our selves for crumbs. Right from the days of slavery. Indians have been on record as forcing companies like Ericsson to sell equipment at lower prices in India. But here someone will let them sell at higher prices for a bribe

There was a story that trended on Twitter some years back where a man said he would employ a person who did not steal more than 10%

During my it years ago - Sheila solarin (mayflower school) came to buy a phone from the place I was working. It was a very tedious process where you went between three different departments. But the woman was very happy. She said it was the most straightforward transaction she had engaged in. Because her experience was typically that Nigerians would find ways to fk the process.

That is where we are as a country, where the ceo has to start buying things personally because staff can't be trusted.
You are also missing my point and thereby not getting the problem wherein lies the solution!

When you say Nigerians are corrupt or lazy to work or not good at doing business or not good for anything to the point that we now have to employ over 80% of our workforce in the oil and gas sector,you forgot to realize that the same Nigerians who do very well in other civilized countries travelled from here to that space!

You had initially made a point in your previous comment about Nigerians respecting and obeying the policies in advanced countries as one of the reasons why they behave well and that's what should be done here in Nigeria and that's why U have japa syndrome because everyone wants to go to a space where a system works!

I will say this to you or any other person....I am not a dishonest person, neither do I joke with my workplace as that is where my butter and bread is laid!
There are others like me both home and abroad who just want to make an honest living and live comfortably!
I'm fully aware that there are terrible Nigerians in the country and abroad but the same can be said about the foreigners that some of U consistently glorify and believe they can do no wrong!

PENGASSON Should STFU...

How many IOCs are treating NIgerians well,? did they not collectively ruin the oil and gas? how much are nigerianspaid? abi because their own good?

GOD punish pengasson.. bastards

Funflipper:
Of course there are some Nigerians who don't have that problem but how many are they in contrast to the ones who treat their jobs with levity? And you wonder why the country is in such a mess?
The assertions you have been making can be likened to a woman who openly declares that 'men are dogs' after she broke up with her partner due to cheating!
U will never have a society where there are no bad people...it's inevitable!
But U can be an exception!

We have many qualified engineers that studied abroad but you see African employers, they just want to show themselves and that's why they employe expatriates.


Can you imagine dangote refinery being head by an Indian and this same Indian is now recruiting only indians for the refinery all because he said he can't work with Nigerians...
African employers who want to show themselves recruit Europeans and Americans not Indians.
Any Nigerian employee you see employing Indians is primarily motivated for financial reasons.
That is, it is cheaper on the long run to employ them.

Indians are racist. They hate black skin. Even their own native black Indians are treated as trash.
That's why they come here and treat us as trash and if you go to their country, you'll get trash treatment there as well.

They still get paid dollars but not as high as Europeans.
Then Nigerians are left to protest and complain online.

Because their countries are overpopulated and they can get massive respect and good treatment from us, here due to their light skin colour.
They know exactly what they are doing.

If it will take Indian Engineers for Nigeria to be able to locally refine fuel, Dangote, please dont mind NUPENG or PENGASSAN or whatever union. Nigeria's Refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri went comatose on the watch of Nigerian petroleum engineers who betrayed their own nation. When NNPC finish their own refineries, they should hand them over to the usual saboteurs

Why won't they take jobs? They are more trustworthy and hardworking. More competent on the average. Better trained. Less annoying to work with. Efficient overall.
You’re just so stupid and uneducated, anything to demean your country is a welcome idea to you. There are no jobs for Nigerians and some people are breaking the law and taking advantage of the country, and you’re here justifying it.

No one should expect anything more from unpatriotic sets like you, so amazed in inferiority complex that they could swallow spits from anyone anything seemingly more sophisticated than them.

Nigeria is for Nigerians and any nationality that wants to do business or seek for opportunity here is welcomed provided that they’d not be breaking the law. Let’s try to reason sometimes before commenting, holding on and watching more intelligent people contribute to issues won’t hurt your hands.

So be it, if it will get the country working.
One question I want to ask the average Nigerian here on Nairaland, your vehicle, who will you give it to be fixed if you see two local mechanic workshops, one staffed by Nigerians or the other staffed by Indians or Pakistani mechanics, even togolese? The other day, a naija mechanic brought my car back, but with all the clips used to fasten the engine cover and other plastic parts missing. I asked why they were not there, guess his response? They were not necessary, and would make it easy to open the engine the next time!
Another time, I bought a new radiator, they installed it, then made the fan permanent! Howwwwhuh. I had to tell him to return it to factory settings immediately! Go pump your tyre at the valcanizer, you will find out the valve cap will be missing, they will not put them back after pumping.
Truth of the matter is that we have to re examine in our work ethics, skills etc.

Hmm. Well said. But you're not addressing what the OP said. Are you concluding that we don't have Nigerians that could man the gate?

If according to you,Nigerians including you run down and destroy business,how come those same Nigerians are doing very well and gainfully employed when they go to other countries?
How come the same Nigerians whom you tag as dishonest like the fellow you mentioned is now a mayor in Canada?
If we were terrible people who can do nothing I guess Ngozi iweala would never have been given such an exalted position that demands all the attributes that you find absent in Nigerians!
Do you know there are indians or Americans that are dishonest,annoying,lazy and technically inept?
But I guess their skin colour automatically makes them great according to U...smh
The problem with some of you is that you use one or two persons you have worked with to make your conclusion which is unfortunate!
Travel and see!
There are terrible people in every tribe,region,country whether developed or not!
Well, I agree I may have generalised, but O think my point is also valid.

Ile laa tin ko ẹ̀ṣọ́ r'ode
Charity begins at home


If we didn't destroy our oil and gas industry because of tribalism and greed, we would have been global players in the world , rather than buying petrol and diesel from outsiders and selling cheap crudeoil to strangers.

But truly, some of us are good too.

They are very racist - very hard to see an Indian woman marry a non -indian man, same for the men

They can hardly stand anyone who is not from their race

If they joke or have a nice conversation with you - watch carefully - there is something they want to gain from you, IF not, they wont say hi

Trustworthy - I would say there are many untrustworthy people on both sides.
Hardworking - Though, you may be right here as they like to spend a lot of time just doing work. But I think Nigerians are more smart working and tactical.

Competency, training, and efficiency would be better judged individual-individual.

As with less annoying to work with...I don't think you mean that.

My Lebanese boss don't know nada about surveying, cartography or GIS yet he heads the unit and his pay is times 25 what we collect. He has no degree in the subjects above, he learnt on the job. What is applicable to the Lebanese is applicable to the Indians. They employ themselves even to the lowest level jobs. Once you employ one, that person is bringing his people to be trained on the job.

Not even third-hand white man.
Take an indian gateman.
It is not about dollar but the specific amount.
How much dollar do you think an Indian gatekeeper earns per month?
He isn't any richer than an equivalent gateman in India.
But why would a profit-driven business prefer him over a Nigerian?
Because he is less likely to join a criminal clique of saboteurs/thieves as he has
little to no indigenous links.

And most of these so-called menial job "expatriates" are not living in luxury as many think.
When the Dangote refinery was being constructed, most of them locked down inside
the facility and forced to work day and night in very stressful conditions.
You didn't hear about it because they are not Nigerians.
If they were Nigerians headlines such as "Dangote keep youths as slaves" would have littered
many front pages of newspaper.

Unless your business absolutely needs Nigerian staff maybe due to market knowledge, you're better of with foreigners.

Recently, a friend narrated his ongoing experience in the hands of his staff to me. Most are pure thieves. Some talk to him with juju. Many are just inefficient and care only about their salary.

When I asked why he doesn't replace them, his response was that he has replaced many over the years, but they are all the same.

As I speak now, the guy is abroad trying to recover from stress.

I know people who refuse to set up any new business or expand. They'd say, 'I can't kill myself'.

Nigerians. Very difficult people.
