A country of around 200 million with high unemployment rate curiously has a lot of Asians and Arabs working in strategic companies.
My flight with Air peace the other day was filled with foreign crew members and flight attendants. As in they couldn't hire exclusively local flight attendants?
I also hear Dangote is filled with Indians.
This is sad. We have a ministry of Labor that has not done anything else other than negotiate poor minimum wages for striking unions.
A ministry of labour that cannot reform the rules around hiring foreign workers because the minister of Labor is busy looting funds meant for his ministry.

Asians and whites see us as fools and we prove them right any chance we get

All blames goes to federal government. If they had provide jobs for the masses all these nonsense wouldn't have happened

I blame the government yes but not for the reasons you have said. Government do not provide jobs. Private sector does. Government's role is to create the macro and micro economics that can stimulate growth.
I blame the government however for granting work visas to foreign workers without asking the employing companies why it must be a foreigner. Why not a Nigerian

The issue is always annoying going around seeing Asians taking over our jobs. We can blame the government, the ministry of labour and other agency but I think we Nigerians need to change our way..

Sincerely our attitude towards work is nothing to write home about.
I have not been to Oyinbo country before but from their movies, facebook or other social media you will know how committed they are to their work.

Many of us are not committed to our work, you will be hearing words like " I cannot kill myself jare " " You too carry work for head " and other funny words.

We are committed. Are we not the same people overseas studying and working, overworking ourselves?
We just have low national esteem

The government carries all the blames for being inept, outdated and out of touch with what obtains in other countries. Both the executive and legislative arms are to blame.

Other countries force companies to employ locally by putting regulations to that effect in place. That's why Canada issues LMIA and UK has COS to companies before they are allowed to bring in workers from abroad. The govt over there set up agency to scrutinize companies before giving them such certificates and penalties any company that violates it. You cannot get a job in Canada from outside Canada except you have a skill that no one in Canada has or no one in Canada who has the skill showed interest in that role after 3 months advert - this is the regulation put in place by Canadian government and implemented by Canadian agencies.

The issue is that our politicians are too local and busy playing Igbo Vs Yoruba, Christian Vs Muslim politics that they don't have time to read, think or implement what other countries have implemented which benefit their citizens. As long as Nigeria doesn't require companies to have a certificate of sponsorship before bringing anyone from abroad and there are no stringent laws put in place by the sick national assembly, companies will keep going abroad to employ staff and even pay them higher than Nigerians.

Do you know the law in Dubai makes it mandatory for companies to pay Dubai citizens the highest, followed by Europeans, then the lowest goes to Africans and Asians for any given job role. You people don't know the power of law making and execution agencies that's why you expect people to behave well where there is no law in place

Then what is happening at home? A construction supervisor will be diverting cements, iron rods and other materials to his own site.

I agree

I am saying what I know. I can bring several links of house girls that kills their madam just to steal their money and jewelry.

I can provide links to some hotel staffs that kill the owner just to cover up their mess.

If you have any links of event like this in Oyinbo land too please share with me because I like learning.

The same company will pay a Nigerian construction supervisor 100k a month and pay his Indian counterpart 800k a month plus accommodation and transport then turn around and act outraged when Nigerian guy steals cement.

Impressive, do you think since the Nigerian bargain for 100K is enough reason for him to start stealing building materials?

Well no, but employers should put a system in place. It should not depend on how honest employees are. In Qatar, I know an Indian HR who left workers in the payroll long after they were sacked and was cashing the cheques until he was caught

Alright.
