no frnd in Dubai is jst u and God

oluwashegunfunm:

i met a nigerian who also drives taxi last time i was in dubai, he told me the salary is based on commission and around the price you mention or even more. question is can you drive for 12hrs everyday ? because they work monday to sunday

D info I gathered from him is that there is a basic salary of 1000aed+35% of wateva yu make monthly. The work is 12hrs shift nd no off.. The guy currently going thru d driving school told me the person he's stayin with picks the car 6am nd gives d next driver 6pm, after which he continues wt his own car till he feels its time to go sleep(no play for moscow).
Nd if the work no make sense, after 2yrs, I fit look for anoda job, at least my driving license will still be valid.

Bro go to dubai on a visit visa, and apply for the job yourself instead of giving any agent money, I think you have to visit www.dubaitaxi.ae and apply, I heard the visa is 5000 dirtham and you have to pay it yourself.

Please what is the cost of a self contain room in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, incase the person wish to stay alone. I will also like to know the cost of primary school over there cos I will like to come with my kids.

you can get a selfcon room in dubai for as low as aed4k, as for pri sch fess, it ranges from 15k dirham up per year, and that's likely the cheapest u can get. And that is for sch fees only cos u have to pay other fees seperately, like uniforms, text books, sports/games, excortions, now most schools insist on compulsory tablets for their pupil, which u must buy, and some other things.

GUYS.... I WAS STROLLING BY AND THOUGHT I'D SEEK POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE IN HERE.... IM BOUND TO ARRIVE IN DUBAI THIS WEEKEND AND FROM THE LOOK OF THINGS HOTELS HAVE GONE GAGA WITH PRICES AND THEIR ENGLISH OF BEING SOLD OUT FOR WHATEVER REASON.... ABEG ANY BODY GET ACCOMMODATION FOR SHORT LET BETWEEN 30TH & 2ND JANUARY?

I ALREADY HAVE MY HOTEL FOR 27TH TO 30TH.....

ANY ASSISTANCE WILL BE PRETY APPRECIATED.

It's quite a lot and one does not know the additional charges to come after paying the initial annual tuition fee, what about if one does not stay in Dubai and choose a neighboring town, will the cost reduce? apart from Dubai where else can one stay in the UAE that is save? how do Nigerians that earn as low as 3500 survive with their family over there? What i have read on this post is that most Nigerians are either security or working in the hotel which pay as low as 2000, does this mean that Dubai is for the singles?

dubai is mostly dominated by single expats,and married couples that usually send their children home for education. With a salary of 3500, doubt the possibilty of your kid schooling in dubai along with other bills you have to pay. Even some people that earn more than 10k/month do send their kids to their home country. The high tuition is not only limited to dubai, but also applicable to other emirates. The government schools are strictly for locals, and a few arabs. This is as far as i know, i stand to be corrected sha.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions here. Finally got to sharjar this morning. Dubai fine sha.
Pls does anyone know where I can get good Naija food here in sharjar. This hotel's food na oyinbo things. Thanks for ur help

Then I have to look else where, because I plan bringing my family over after securing job in Dubai but I think I should think of another country, which country that you think it will be cheap to relocate to with my family

Na SO BRO.... Sending kids back home for education is the best option... At least each of the parents earning 3k+aed will give the child good education back home

it is an option for those that can afford to live apart from their kids. Some people can't stay away for so long from their wives and kids.

One has to look elsewhere but where can I go?

amen1967:

heheheheeh amen1967 u ar a funny dude. ''where can i go?'' like seriosly? Please don't be desperate to leave naija. As a matter of fact, for naija, we have so many things on a platter of gold, but we don't appreciate them. When you visit some countries you will understand better. Education is never cheap, but it ought to. I don't know where i will tell you to go now. But if you have a lot of money, i mean a lot, US, canada, australia and european embassies will be happy to stamp their visas on ur passport, but mind you, education is not cheap their either.

Lagos, what is the procedure? Is it that easy like Dubai

contact emirates or etihad or some hotels, they can get you a 2week visa. If you are coming to look for a job, pls apply for 1,2 or 3months visa. Go to dubai and look for the job. Or if you can get an employent visa, it is still ok, but be careful about the latest.

Thanx
