Goddys:hey brov. You will work yourself to the mills. You will rob shoulders with starkvillitrrated who are not an inch qualified to stand near you. You will be emotionally disturbed because of your status. You will also seek further works wherein you may work more hours and in up to 3 places to utilise your decision in a way to justify such. You may never be fulfilled . Its not all about money. I was there at some point. As a lawyer there are prospects till you die. Your head is always high even if you decide to leave after your call say to same Dubai. You will have more chance and better prospects. 3 Likes |

Goddys: If u dnt take this offer u will surely regret it, one dollar will soon hit 1000naira b4 June 2017 if this clueless Govt continues. Very few lawyers below 5yrs post call earn 150k monthly Go n work as factory staff for 5yrs make ur money n go to law school if u must. Dignity doesn't pay bills money does, dnt learn d hard way. Under this Govt things can only get worst. Man think this job gives above 7m per annum n u want to turn it down, even if na mortuary staff d money is worth it. By d time dollar gets to 1000 u will b making 14m per annum 3 Likes |

So many thing are amiss here.....the value of $1 isnt d same thing in US and Canada 4 instance, so also dat same dollar wont fetch you same thing it will fetch you in Dubai as well as in Nigeria. Consider this, there was a time $1 was equal to like #320 in black market but then d normal exchsnge rate recognized by int'l market was #199. So bro, your $1200 isn't really what your Nigerian exchange rate is telling you, rather its what ur Dubai exchange rate is telling you. Let me site a pratical example. I left engineering to work in professional service. My offer letter says my cost of employment is about #3.6mil per annum. Me was very happy, after doing the maths, naïve me tot i would b paid over #270k monthly....only to realise after a month dat my take home isnt even upto #200k...u see, so many things came in, pensions, insurance bla bla bla....and this is Nigeria where tax is still abit lenient ....I can easily save half of my pay monthly and still live like a big boy....in Dubai, I doubt if $1.2k will do dat same magic. I gave up a scholarship abroad to stay and do my job here....I was like u too, seeking advice from anyone that cares to listen, but in d end, we know what we gonna do! Its just best you do what we feel its best for you, not what others think is.....reason is, its your life, and u get to live with d consequences of ur actions. Pray the Holy spirit teach and guide ur confused heart. Cheers 6 Likes |

my brother i will give u an advice as my own brother because you sincerely seek for it. i am living in Dubai right now please do not come here.#400k may look big in nigeria but it is a peanut here. average rent for just one room is 1700 Aed = $462.83 x #490 black market rate = #226,786.00 electric bill is average of 500 Aed = $136.13 = #66,703 so what remains? however as a factory worker you will live in camp just like school hotel so your rent is being taken of by your employer but i want you to imagine the condition of living in camp. also consider the excruciating sun raze here which is why air conditioning system is a must here. bro if your type of work is under the sun you can be best assured of darkness as your new skill colour that is if you are not coal already. finally beware of scammer who normally promises job just to get his commission on your visa fee that is if he actually get the visa for you.another thing most job seekers here pay commission about 2000-3000 AED($816.76) upfront to agents before they get the job. so it is left to you now to make the right decision. 3 Likes |

Speeddial: More than half of that money would go on living expenses. -------------------------- Cost of Living in Dubai: Cost of living in Dubai is 92.51% higher than in Lagos (Info)Our estimator (with default settings) estimate monthly expenses for a single person at 268,035.18₦ (3,154.21AED) and for four person family at 936,349.81₦ (11,018.88AED) (without rent). |

Goddys: Here goes one 1kobo..These jobs are usually based on a contract, for about two years or three usually and then you have an option of renewal. Dubai dont give a shii about unskilled workers. You would be treated like crap! No labor law. Also you would not be able to go anywhere until ur contract expires..That being said. Usually they give accommodation so your salary will not be spent unnecessarily. Look i am all about education, but if you understand these conditions and you are okay with them, them please go..You can come back for prestige. Better looking for a job under ac car than from a bus. 1 Like |
