Clap for yourselves. Imagine, feeling proud of yourselves. That is why this country is backward. Se na greting you go chop. He needs direction

Treating foreigners harshly is not in the best interest of the country nor investment.

If they do a crime Im not saying they should not be punished.

Its ppl like you that are tribalistic and donald trump like.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

Rubbish.

As someone righted stated, chinese are not white folks.. To the op, i think it has nothingto do with dem treating you as rag. When you`ve to some partof the world u will understand better.... To be sincere, is not everyone that has morals or good human relationship... I presently reside in a country consisting of mixed rrace and your issue is a very common thing here... A person will just walk up to you straight and ask or start a discussion...i understood that we africans have better morals than most of dis races... So chill, d do that so demselves( diff races)

Today was just like every other normal day in my workplace, everybody have resumed at the appropriate time, me and a colleague were standing close to the gate and the security man wasnt around at about 9:30am a Chinese man and a Nigerian man just alighted from a jeep without greeting, he asked us where is Mr bola(not real name) who happens to be the general manager? My colleague just hissed and replied him in pidgin( come wey u u no dey greet abi naso una dey behave for una side? Abeg get out of my front).

The chinese man was ashamed of himself and i was just laughing at him as he went away in shame.

NB this colleague of mine is a contractor who is almost through with his work in my work place. The point that i am trying to make in this story is that this white people especially the chinese, lebanese and indians don't regard us as anything because of the way we see them as god in our land while most of them are common laborers in their countries and when they come to Nigeria they will be forming expatriate and be using us like rag. That mentality must be put to an END.

in every culture... when asking a stranger for directions or a favour, you have to greet first.. it could be the standard "good morning" or "hello, how are you doing"

Nifemitech:
mtchew; sir, you should have answered the question he put at you. probably he was in a haste and it is we Nigerians that put much value on greetings (am not saying it's bad) who knows, he may be an important visitor or customer, you just sent him away

You can just walk up to someone and ask for a favor or directions without greeting first... THAT IS RUDE! The man in question is a contractor and does not work in the building.


claremont:
Personally, I think the rude person here is the guy who is asking to be ''greeted'' before answering a polite question.

End time Chinese encounter
Re: My Experience With A Chinese Man Today In My Workplace by SmartMugu: 10:35pm On Feb 04, 2016
I experienced the same thing several years ago with some Asian dude in Nigeria. He stepped out of his car and walked up to me and some friends I was standing with to ask for directions.

I'd expect a simple 'Hi' first, before making his request, or at least say 'please,' first. Instead, the fool just walked up to us like "How do I get to XYZ place." Sounded like he was talking to some robots he created. I wasted no time and put him right in his place. My response was " if you have no manners where you're from, get the fk outta my face". He said no word back and just walked back to his car.

A Nigerian friend recently visited Nigeria from the US and was standing in line at an eatery somewhere in Lagos. There were people there before him, so he had to join the queue to place the order. After waiting in line for almost 20 minutes, all of a sudden, one of these Chinese men walked in and went all the way to the front to place his orders, bypassing everyone else that had been waiting before him. My friend asked one of the workers there who that man was and if he owned the place or something, they responded "Oh, he's an Oyinbo and we dey always give dem their food first". Not satisfied with the response he got, my friend walked up to the Chinese man and asked him who he was and why he thought everyone else before him were less than him. He explained that he was an expatriate and in a rush. Still not satisfied, my friend asked him to kindly go back to the end of the queue and wait for his turn like everyone else. He obliged and apologized to everyone. He ended up waiting in line like everyone else.

The idea is if no one says anything, theyll assume everyone worships them. Confront them in clear English if they understand it and put some sense in their heads.

The funny thing is that these people and indians ain't worth nothing in places like the US but try to form voltron in Nigeria. I guess its because some Nigerians call them Oyinbo and they need a piece of the 'white supremacy' crap they can't get anywhere else in the world.

Walahi, if any Chinko walks up to me and ask me for direction without greeting, I will direct him to Sambisa or any other misleading road. What a lack of moral!

You and that friend of yours are both stupid. It's only in this useless part of the world where people take greetings seriously as if its what will bring food to their table. As for me, whether people greet me or not, i dont care (even little kids) as me myself aint really used to greeting people. Its just my nature and whether it annoys you is your own cup of tea. What if he was an important investor or customer you just sent away? Better look for that young man and apologize to him.

What part of the world have you been where people don't take greetings seriously? I asked because I've been to several countries and people still know manners. Even the worst parts of the US, gangsters and hoodrats still say 'Hi' , 'Hey' or 'Sup' at least before chatting with a person they don't know. I'd like to know one part of the world where greeting is taboo like you argued.
