WE lose jobs because of our WORK ETHICS and not our education! The plumber from Ukraine will always do a better job and is more reliable. I employ Chinese to paint my houses and Togolese to do masonry work simply because they are more reliable, have a better finish and don't steal from you! Nigerians will do a shoddy job and steal your materials in the process.

Well, perhaps that expat with no or little qualification is far more hard working, dedicated, thorough and far far more honest than you.... ever thought of it that way?

thank God someone finally spoke my mind. geez its just too much. plus d fact that these socalled ppl they worship regard them as nothing. so so terrible

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NAIJA

Linda this is sadly TRUE but a large chunk of the blame also goes to us, Our Engineers prefer to sit behind desks on white collar jobs and sign checks instead going out there to get hands-on experience. A certified engineer will call a road side mechanic to fix his car, repair is generator, fix socket and fan in his home and all. most of them dont even have a tool box. after a few years out of school they cant remember 'jack'. How then can they apply themselves in the field. biko lets remove the log in our eye first joor.

True

absolutely correct. on the 2nd of january at zenith bank ATM effurun whilst we were waiting on the queue to withdraw money, a very long line oo, one mopol just came in with two white me, even tho th ewhite men were saying they wouldn't want to cut the line the mopol said and i quote "na my people dem no go complain" without taking permission from us they just cut the line withdrew and left. nigerians are the problems of nigerians.

The problem with Nigerians is the fact that they equate educational qualification with the actual job experience. I have an aunt, she is Jeweller and uneducated, with my Bsc in Applied mathematics I can't match her ability to calculate big numbers without using a calculator. This is not because she is some sort of genius, just that she has been doing it for so long. Many of these expatriates have years of experience doing the actual job rather than parading certificates.

Ladun Liadi said...

The thing is, most of these foreigners grow up in their countries surrounded by 21st century experiences, skills and equipments. As such,they have a more holistic skill set than the average Nigerian graduate who can't even count on stable electricity and reliable internet. Practice and theory differ greatly.

Very true. Poor leaders have finished us in Nigeria

this is very true. I have Msc. in Facility management and i recently connected with my head of department on linkedln and guess what i saw, he is just a technician though with enough years of experience but I was shocked to see his qualification can't match mine.

It's quite sad.

Because of hungry policemen who ought to be protecting the nation. The issue of artisan becoming express here,our own people gain from their employment. The HR I mean

Amenze said...

Very true ....Very very correct

The answer is very vivid. Employ Nigerians and see the headache. They see education as title instead of skill acquisition. All the cram and pass engineers cannot fix or create a damn thing even if their lives depend on it. Just look at the half-baked quacks parading as doctors. They are ready to kill thsn save bc they have no clue. Their ego is more important than knowledge

The bottom line is that our system here has completely failed us and is still set up to deliver same blow to the future generations if we don't do something. And it begins with you and me deciding not to go with the flow.
The truth is you hardly see theit graduates coming to Africa because they won't come. It takes serious financial motivation to convince the unschooled talk more of the schooled. Very few really want to come to Africa.
And I disagree with what one commenter said, about our work ethics needing some change. Well, yes it doesbut I believe given the right motivations, Nigerians are one of the most hardworking people ever as compared to our white brothers from Yankee. We need to begin to see pressing on our leaders to deliver our rights and do the right thing as our responsibility, if we want to save the future generations from getting to where we are and facing this same ordeal.
There is nothing wrong with a foreigner coming to work in our country but we will continue to face such treatment as long as our own institutions are not strengthened to compete on the global scale all round including incentive wise. We will continue facing such as long as we have to go to shell, chevron, Mobil, mtn, Julius Berger etc. before we can experience an efficient work environment and a fat incentive.

How will the Naija graduate obtain the required experience if the employment opportunity is absent, for starters? Indigenous capacity development must start within Naija's borders, for Naijas by Naijas. Anything less means Naijas and her government are deceiving themselves. China, India, Japan are prime examples of nations that have shown the way on this issue despite challenges. When will the "sleeping giant" of Africa wake up?

Anon.11:20, thank you very much. I totally agree with you. Many Nigerians(not all) have really bad work ethics,they want more money for shoddy jobs, want holidays all the time, lie, steal from you and tell u they did u a Favour by being Faithful to you even if you pay them the agreed salary/due promptly. There are some terrible employers.
