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. 221 Likes 18 Shares

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 . 229 Likes 10 Shares |

An average Nigerian is hard working stop cappin Working from 9-5 here in Nigeria and gettting paid paltry 80-100k monthly is not compared to how much you get when you work same hours over there where you are likely to be paid between 18-25$ per hour minimum Some Nigerians work two to three shifts because they know how much they will make from both jobs so don’t come here and be saying Nigerians like awoof Na genZ spoil everything pata pata, they don’t want to work or go to school or even learn a craft but rather be online doing TikTok challenge and uploading mara pupo dance 💃 🕺 I know of a boy who recently left Nigeria for UK, his dad has been there for years, he was a big time yahoo boy and owns a Lexus car, his dad was able to get him a job and he led last month Nigerians know how to work hard and party harder that’s just it 34 Likes 4 Shares |

Gadafii: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 18 Likes 4 Shares |

sukkot: 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. 75 Likes 13 Shares |

sukkot:U nailed it. I have lived Abroad for years now. I detest it when Nigerians abroad complain too much. That your neighbor in Nigeria is leaving doesn't mean you should join the bandwagon. Rather cross examine your lifestyle in Nigeria and see if the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand will be befitting for you. The United States for example is not as lawless as most African countries, hence the reason people mind their businesses. IF a woman is interested in you in the US, you have to compel her to call you more. This is for record keeping, else if you do she can slam you with harassment if she has got an ulterior motive. If you are very humble & serious-minded person with no single trace of greed, then the US doors are opened, however if the reverse is the case, Abeg I take God beg you, remain for Naija. No come destroy ur record. 31 Likes 4 Shares |

sukkot: A large number of Nigerians focus on the quantity of motion rather than the quality of result Efficiency is not one of our watchwords. I remember how a colleague used to make a big show of how difficult it was to print a set of 50 drawings. But the real issue was that he was satisfied with knowing the bare essentials of the software he was using. I could literally set up my system and print the same drawings he was taking 1 hour to print in 5 minutes. But that is what we Nigerians love hard inefficient work. Not smart effective efficient work. 20 Likes 1 Share |
