monchouchou:

Dubai is not like Nigeria. We keep announcing it but una no wan hear. with 100K you can survive reasonably in Nigeria. In dubai money blows fats. You think you can survive on that but when you get here and see the reality you start complaining. Also, don't be deceived by whatever salary structure you see. Very very few security men earn up to 1,500aed talk more of 2000k. Read back on the thread and you will see their stories. They tell you there is free accommodation but have you seen what they call accommodation? its worse than a pig sty.

jimmy4x:
wtf!!! if this true, how do u guys now survive there, why are you still there and not return home?? abi na 10,000 AEd or more una dey collect as salary...don't tell me you are enduring this hardship.
U keep telling us how hard life is over there, yet una sef stay there, una no come Naija, what do u av to say to this,
P.S: I'm not doubting you, just wanna satisfy my curiosity.

monchouchou:

This is why many people come and end up as Teco boys. when we advise them not to come unless they are fully prepared, they say we are lying, after all we are "flexing'. The fact that some have good jobs should not be used as a yardstick because its not the norm. I didn't say don't come. Just know where you are coming to. Have enough money so you don't get desperate to accept any job that is flung at you. If you are well prepared you will be able to take your time and search for a good job. Also, be very very very skeptical of all these direct employment visa because they rarely end well.

jimmy4x:
Ok, tnx for this, buh what is ur own definition of a 'good job' and good salary in Dubai....?? like what kinda job and what's the salary structure like, is it also possible for Nigerians like us to get these kinda jobs.??

Emirates is more expensive from what I was told. People I have asked so far recommend Belhasa.

Dafa: Good day house, I have an e-visa which was issued on the 15th of july and expires on the 28th, but my question is am leaving on the 23rd and am spending 7 days to come bck on the 30th , I hope that wldnt mean I have overstayed my visa.

monchouchou:

Keep in mind that what is good for A may be rubbish for B. For a person having a masters degree, getting a job that pays lets say 100k will not be acceptable but for someone with only WAEC, 100K job might seem like paradise. So I can't answer your question. Its left or you to decide what kind of job you can settle for. There are Nigerians in this same Dubai earning above AED50,000 and there are too many Nigerians earning above AED10,000 as well. it really depends on your qualification, work experience(yes even your naija work experience can sometimes be valued), how you present yourself AND most importantly the employer (asides the Grace of God). You can't expect an indian employer who owns a restaurant or small business to pay you AED10,000 when he himself might not even make that much. But for multinational corporations, its chicken change.

Come you have to pay me for all this long epistle you have been making me type since morning oh

jimmy4x:
lol...You are a darling, only God will repay you handsomely for this wealth of info u dished out...
I really appreciate you, this is exactly my tots too, I tot discrimination wud affect all Nigerians like u just av to settle for menial jobs....

As we say very many times.
You have qualifications from Nigeria and are educated.
In U.A.E. and similar arab countries you will still be at the bottom of the list for good jobs!
First white British, Americans & Europeans.
Then Chinese, Indians & Arabs.
Finally black Africans

This is the way that they operate.

monchouchou:

lol.

Like I said, it depends on many factors and the Grace of God in your life. Its left for you to come and try your best. But don't make it a do or die affair. Know what you are willing to settle for.

When you are told food is cheap in Dubai means Food like KFC,WENDYS,MACDONALDS, rice,parata, biri yani,fruits etc

Food is not cheap when it comes to African food, whether you want to cook it by urself or not.

African food is expensive both to buy in the restaurant and to buy the raw ones.

List of items i bought from the African SHOP yesterday:

1. 1 small tuber of Yam that i can finish in 1 meal = 60 Dirhams i.e 2,700 naira

2. 1 litre of Palm oil = 75 Dirhams i.e 3,375 naira


3. 1 carton of Malta Guiness(12 cans) = 2,700 naira

4. Fresh Naija very hot pepper(like 15pieces) = 10 Dirhams i.e 450naira

5. stock fish and Dry fish dont even go there.

Now lets go to eating at the restaurant.

Biggie's African restaurant vegetable soup with pounded yam = 55 Dirhams i.e 2,475 naira

For other soup i dont know actually but just know it is more than 1,000 naira.

You can also get cheaper from other restaurant but the prices are slightly different.

It all boils down to African food is not cheap here except you will be eating rice everyday or biri yani or parata or fruits then you can call it cheap.

So hold all the money you can because nobody will be willing to buy food for you especially those guys at deira, they will be willing to drain you as you are fresh to the hussles.

Goodluck

HAH: Food is very cheap in dubai if you are going to cook, transpotation is also cheap if you are using the metro and buses. What is expensive in dubai is accomodation even that one. Has some places that are ok like international city, and al nahda atleast you can see a studio apartment for AED35k that is like N1.5M.

Alternatively you can move to sharjah which is not more than 30 minutes drive where you can get a studio for as low as AED18k

Accomodation are not paid in full you can give post dated cheques may be quarterly

So if you are for instance staying average in Abuja moving to dubai will not be a problem

These suggestion are for average working class but as a hustler e no go easy o,

frostmate:

I very much agree. Accommodation in Dubai is very expensive compared to other things. Even in international city prices are going up. Some agents/landlords use expo 2020 as an excuse for the price
increase.

frostmate:

Palm oil is expensive

I sometimes see yam in Carrefour, but I nefa bother to find out how much.

jimmy4x:
Make I go see for myself, I just wanna leave Naija, no be because of greener pasture, I get 'greenest' pasture for here sef, if d wahala too much, I dey run come my house back, d major reasons I wanna travel is to stop being a mommy's boi who has everything provided for him, I wanna hustle nd act like a man, I want to b able to have my own money nd even gv to her if she needs money at some point,
2. I wanna see ow it is in a foreign country, this wud b d first tym I'll be leaving Naija for somewhere else.
3. I hear about Dubai everyday, the architectural wonders nd masterpieces, I wanna see doz tins with my eyes, I av my eyes on their consrtruction firms, architectural firm, I studied architecture in OAU ife nd I read a lot bout Dubai nd watch some of their documentaries.

justi4jesu:

yes oh palmoil is expensive even yam.

You should first go back to school and learn to type correctly in English.
NOT text speak!

Yungmilio2:
getting a Dubai visa is damn easy compare to you getting admitted in a Federal Uni in Nigeria
.
no doubt you still a young lad.
you going to hussle in Dubai with your Olevel result.
let's forget about Luck for now.. statistically
you getting a Nice job with Nice pay is just 1%.
don't think you can cope with that for two years.
if Luck no show. in the next 5years nothing is guaranteed.
you with no field of specialization. you can only get menial jobs
salespersons, security guard etc.
or join those in loading and offloading
....
school for now should be your number one priority
build your future gradually
get your cert. then go hussle with or without your kpali.
..
congratulation bout ur admission ish
go do your registration
hope engr? so that you can join them in QATAR years later for construction #wC2022
