  • The Different Types Of Nigerian Co-workers On A Monday Morning

    Every Monday morning brings along with it drama leftover from the weekend. In Nigerian offices, there are various personalities. The best time to observe this difference in behavior is on a Monday morning. Here are the various types of Nigerian co-workers you will observe at the start of a new week.

    The can it be weekend again gang:

    These set of people always want it to be Friday. All they do is grumble from Monday to Thursday, their happiest days are Fridays. Their sad days are from Monday to Thursday.

    I had a lit weekend gang:

    They always get up to the wildest things outside of work. It’s either they went for some party, wrestled exotic animals, or watched their landlord pick money from the ground and start to bark. Every Monday morning comes with a different interesting story about their rest days. They make the work more bearable for everyone.

    The sleepy gang:

    Their motto is “I had a long weekend”, “This weekend ehn”. They always need to sleep for only 15 minutes every Monday morning according to them. It is usually 15 minutes in ten places though.

    Late to work with excuse gang:

    Buhari was visiting Lagos that’s why I came late. My dog started speaking and hence I had to come late. Deep down, we all know they have ready-made excuses. They probably overslept after all the parte after parte they had over the weekend.

    Let’s get to work gang:

    You see them running from table to table, office to office screaming new week, new goals. Let’s take over the world. Pls dear, I don’t have ambition like that. Most times they are usually your boss or a superior. That’s why they have over ginger.

    When is the next public holiday gang:

    They will be doing their work and after small frustration, you’ll hear them ask loudly: “ahan, when is the next public holiday self?” A public holiday is the only time you see them smile.

    The happy to be back at work gang:

    You just know they don’t have friends outside of work. They most likely worked over the weekend and are just glad to see other people come to suffer work with them. Anytime you see them you keep asking “who is actually happy on a Monday morning?”

    The indifferent gang:

    They show no emotions. Public holiday, judgment day, bring your children to the office day. They are indifferent. You can’t even tell whether they hate or love the work.

    I want to go home gang:

    All they shout as they come into the office is that they can’t wait to go home. Their best friend is their bed and their favourite past time is sleep.

  • 10 Types Of Nigerian Co-Workers During Lunch Break

    In every Nigerian office, there are a bunch of varying characters, and one of the moments that their differences are truly heightened is when it’s time for lunch. From the ones that only eat snacks to the ones that are street food connoisseur, here are the types of co-workers you see during lunch break.

    1. The ones that bring food from home

    These ones are the most frustratingly responsible people in the entire office. Once it’s time for lunch, and everyone else is scrambling to find food, they just calmly bring out the meal they smartly prepared at home and pop it right into the microwave.

    2. The ones that only eat snacks

    You’ve worked with the snackers for many months, but you’ve never seen them eat anything that didn’t come out of a can or sachet. All they seem to know is Pure Bliss and Coke, and even worse: They can eat all that trash without ever gaining weight.

    3. The ones that only eat street food

    These are the ones that seem to have their stomachs lined with steel. They only ever eat food from the dingiest places they can find. While they swear it tastes great, you know that if you ever join them, it’s food poisoning that will kill you there.

    4. The ones that order alone

    These ones are the lone rangers of the office. They usually just find a place that they like and order alone. They also always seem to find the most expensive possible joints, almost like they are trying to ensure that no one ever joins them.

    5. The ones that behave like vultures

    The office vultures never seem content with just eating what they bought. They must taste a little out of everyone else’s food, right from the snacker down to the ones who brought food from home. They are also unable to take “No” for an answer.

    6. The ones that always vanish

    The vanishers always find a way to disappear once it’s time for lunch, and no one has any idea where they go. Whenever people try to ask, they just give a really vague answer. For all you know, they could be leaving to go eat human flesh.

    7. The ones that are probably undead

    These are the co-workers that are most likely zombies. Since you’ve been working with them, you’ve never seen them eat ANYTHING. While others are chowing down during lunch, they spend that time either gisting or just continuing with work.

    The Group

    In every office, there are a bunch of co-workers that band together to order food as a team. Within this group, there are three people you are likely to come across.

    8. The one that serves as the project manager

    This is the most efficient member of the group. Once it’s time for lunch, they ask everyone what they want, place the orders, collect the money and ensure that everyone gets what they asked for. They are rarely this efficient when it comes to their actual work sha.

    9. The one that serves as the timekeeper

    This could also be the job of the group’s project manager, but in most cases, the timekeeper is a completely different person. They are the ones that spend most of the morning waiting for lunch, and as soon as it’s time, they are very quick to let everyone know.

    10. The one that always wants their complete change

    These are the most annoying members of the group because, after the food finally arrives, they hold everyone hostage until their change is complete. They’d rather die than let anyone run away with their N10 – the one they always swear they need for later.

  • All The Reasons Our Co-Workers Frustrate Us

    1. When you first join the office and they are unnecessarily territorial.

    Is this your house?

    2. When they use style to throw you under the bus when something goes wrong at work.

    Wow, see betrayal!

    3. When you have a group project and they aren’t pulling their weight.

    Lazy human beings.

    4. When they are always reporting you to your manager.

    Will reporting get you to heaven.

    5. When they refuse to mind their business about your personal life.

    Who asked you please?

    6. When they start hounding you to drop them at home after work.

    Is that part of my job?

    7. When they start giving unsolicited advice like it’s their area of expertise.

    Oh please keep quiet.

    8. When they remove their shoes in the office and change the smell of the room.

    Is that an illness?

    9. When they bring stockfish for lunch and stink up the whole place.

    Will your insides be okay?

    10. When their peer assessment is full of veiled insults as if that’s what they asked them for.

    God will reward you, continue!
