@justi4jesus, may the Lord continue to strengthen and guide for your honest contributions and candid advise.
I'd like to know about the career prospects of safety officers in the UAE. A friend with practically no experience in the field( just wrote his NEBOSH IGC exams) does he stand a chance of even starting as an assistant or something? Cheers

justi4jesu:


Yes there scammers on dubizzle but also so many genuine jobs there.

Let me give you a hint!

Do less of clicking Apply now for jobs on dubizzle because thats what virtually everyone does and they get their Cv's trashed most times.

Do more of advertising your CV and skills and you will get calls and emails for interviews everyday, broadcast your Cv early in morning around 6am to 7am because thats when Top managers and HR's go to work and surf dubizzle for applicants , you can be invited for even like 2 to 3 interviews on the same day.

Trust me..............IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC.

Just over the news now CNN reporting that a 70 years old American was arrested in the UAE for photography in off limit place....
This is scary. For those living over there in dubai, this does suggest you could be arrested for a selfie or taking photos?

Plz can someone help me out.I seem to b getting conflicting figures on atm withdrawal charges in dubai.a friend of mine has a FCMB account in nigeria wit a valid mastercard and wants to make withdrawal from ATM in dubai,wats d current ATM charges for such transaction,tnk u

monchouchou:


I can't really say much about that case because I have not read about it. There are some religious places in Nigeria where you can't wear slippers or take pictures. Its the same here. There are signs and warning in some places warning against such. Again they don't allow photographs to be taken of their women anyhow. So its possible he took pictures of them without their consent.

I take about 5 selfies a day and I haven't been arrested yet. I also take photos of various places and I have not been stopped. You just have to obey rules and regulations where you find them.

Reading the leaflet that came with my new UBA Mastercard, withdrawals on ATMs outside Nigeria is charged at N240 while shopping on the POS and Web is free.

I hope this helps, I don't know if this fee is fixed by the issuing bank or Mastercard.

justi4jesu:


They charge me #450 per withdrawal for Firstbank mastercard and i cannot without more than #135,000 in a day.

Mashreq bank will charge you #900 per withdrawal.


I dont know about other banks.

And Note that not all ATM machines in Dubai accepts Nigeria mastercard, RakBank and NoorBank Accepts FBN mastercard anytime anyday. As for Emirates NBD,ADCB, these banks will just vomit your Firstbank card

Hope this helps.

Hey, please like how much can I get a hotel reservation for a week in UAE? I mean a very cheap one. No money.

ugsams:
I will be coming over to emirates very soon on a tourist visa.

Is it better to open a bank account on arrival or should I wait until I settle down?

ugsams:
I will be coming over to emirates very soon on a tourist visa. I'll need answer to the following questions.

What is the cheapest means of transportation to get to Deira from the Dubai airport? (suggest the possible amount)

What are the names of the most common bed space accommodations, and locations for Nigerians?

Which network has the most affordable data and the code for the dataplan? (I use more data than call)

Is it better to open a bank account on arrival or should I wait until I settle down?

Which airline offers the biggest kg on economy ticket?

worry359:


If you are on a TOURIST visa you are going back home NOT settling down.
Or are you going thinking of going illegal when you get there?

By God's grace I'm not going back home soon. By settling down, I meant searching for a job, securing a job, going for visa exchange at Kish, re-entering on an employment visa and settling down.

Do you actually have a visa or tickets yet?

Yes I have a visa

frostmate:


For airlines you might want to consider Ethiopia airlines, Rwanda airlines, Emirates and ethihad, Kenyan airlines, Qatar airways. You can check their websites for baggage allowances and price of tickets and then compare.

Opening a bank account might depend on your purpose of travel to the UAE.

As a first timer maybe best you take taxi....taxi meters start from 20 or 25 AED from the airport which is equivalent of 1000 naira plus. There is a metro going from airport terminal 1 and 3 to deira city centre - don't know where you intend going in deira. You will have to buy a nol card if you intend moving around by metro and bus.

There are only two networks in the UAE - du and etisalat. To be honest I am not impressed with either one of them with regard to data but du might be better. They have a stand at the arrivals section in terminal 1. It's hard to miss when going out of the airport from terminal 1.

Mystikay:
Yeah u can make cheap calls to Nigeria from Ur DU network.There is a code.If u have someone in Dubai already,I'll advice u don't buy lines(sim card) from d airport.Sometimes u pay 3 times d amount.If u already have an arranged accommodation,best option is to load about #2000 credit on Ur Nigerian line so as to enable u receive calls.Ull b charged #33 per min(Etisalat) dunno abt mtn or air tel.Let Ur contact locate u via Ur Nigerian number.When u get to diet a its only 20 Durham's(#900)..For me,I started loading #100,#200 anytime I had loose change in 9ja.Make d money no too much for me on d day of departure...lol..Also try and open a gtb or any bank dat has master card.Cos trust me,ull surely need it..U Neva can tell.Also make sure u activate Ur internet banking cos God fit help u and u get a very good job where ull b required to exit to Kish or Oman.And u fit no get d opportunity to come back to 9ja..How wud u now b transferring money to Ur loved ones?Yes there r mobile money transferred hard but it wud b cheaper to transfer from Ur own acct...#myopinion
