henrimoto: igwee, i noticed something. Is like flight fee to the uae is high during the months of december and january. compared to the month of febuary.. Can you say anything about this ?

Yes; it is called ""high season"' because of the festive celebration, as more people travel to connect with family and loved ones, so most airlines cash on this rush hour to maximize profits.

namqul: @ ogapaktapata and henrimoto i really appreciate what both of u are doing on dis site, @ ogapaktapata gud morning sir how ur new camels?

l know it dispenses dirhams, l am not sure of the US dollars , except maybe they have selected machines that does that.

I was told by my account officer dat I can witdraw money from my naira account any where in d world using my master card. Dos dat apply to UAE too? Cos I don't wannna carry cash and den find out that I can't use money on my master card

Yes; but it will dispense dirhams and not naira, we have addressed this issue before in the thread, if you choose to do the ATM level, below is what my friend paid when he used UBA Africard:

Amount withdrawn: 2000AED

Atm charges: #1,600 naira.

For every 2000AED the charges was #1,600 naira,in my opinion, it does not make economic sense, do the maths yourself, l will suggest you hold your money in US dollars, arrive and convert it to dirhams, that is the standard procedure with so many immigrants to the UAE,but, if you prefer to go with what your account officer told you, the choice is yours. Good luck.

The card option might be a better option cos changing Naira to Dollar here is a serious business 1 dollar - 175 naira instead of 159naira den geting to the UAE. And still converting to AED I guess the Loss would be more dan 1600naira. just an analytic suggestion

@Namqul

Good to hear that you recovered from your flu attack, like l told you several times, keep your hope and faith alive, tough times never last but tough people do, as long as you don't give up, as long as you don't quit, as long as you keep/have a mental picture of your future, and as long as you tell your sub-conscious mind that you will succeed despite all the contradictory/negative situation around you, then your CREATOR will release all the grace you need to succeed and be a high flyer on planet earth, don't give up, ""SEE YOU AT THE TOP"".

@FBI/CIA...........you are always welcome. Cheers.

.... Yesterday , Wednesday 18th, I woke up early around 5:30 am . I prayed to God and went back to bed . I later woke up around 7:45 am . I went out to the black market to change some naira to dollars . I got back home around 9 : 00 am . I was full of anxiety and at the same time fear . I quickly jumped into the shower and had my bath . I remembered I have flight to catch at 1:30 pm . I quickly jumped into the car. I didn't let my sister drive( she is a perfect driver but she won't speed much like I want ).
I drove from Abeokuta to Lagos ( 50 mins ) thank God no traffic at mowe/ibafo or redemption camp . I was heading to Oshodi and to get to ikeja ( airport ). I already ate rice but rushed it . I started developing a running stomach. I had to branch at a restaurant along Oshodi to poo-poo. I got back in the car and headed to airport . I got to airport around 11:45 am. There was a pong queue at the Ethiopian airline stand ( a lot ). I quickly joined the queue but the Ethiopian staff called the people traveling to Dubai to come forward , we ain't much though and I was checked in and I got my boarding pass . I passed through customs . They pleaded for egunje and I smiled . I gave him 1,000 willingly and he appreciated . I got to the immigration . They were so full of themselves . They brought me into their office and questions me .. Like., what do you do for work ? Why are you going to Dubai ? How long are you staying ? What's the total amount of money you traveling with ? I answered them all and they still requested that I show my BTA which I did , and he let me go.
I later headed to gate D-44 where I will board the flight . Like I said , we were much and it was so so scary. ( I had hope it was gonna be a big plane ).. So, the flight was announced 3 pm afternoon and we boarded .. We got to Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) around 11 pm their time . So, I connect my other flight and continue my journey to Dubai . I got to Dubai around 5 am in the morning . It was a cool flight and thank God . I took a taxi directly to Daira( blue diamond hotel ).. I checked in (7am-7pm) shared ( 2 people ) myself and a Nigerian man . He came for shopping . It cost 100 AED . I even bargain to 80 AED and the red- head Indian boy no gree ...I showered and had a nice sleep . I got up and grabbed something to eat . The hotel has got wifi and I'm using it with my Iphone .
The first thing that struck to my mind was to get on Nairaland and share my experience after calling my family and love ones at home . It was really a nice experience and I didn't really mean to bore you with my long words but I must really appreciate each and everyone that contributed on this forum . Just exactly as you guys have said. That's how it is.. No lie or doubt about it .. I really appreciate the likes of Ogakpatakpata , justi4jesu, Mr henrimot, Dr Dre , and a lot that I can't mention .. God continue to bless you .. I'm checking out tomorrow and moving into a shared accommodation . I ought to have checked out but I wanna enjoy my money over night and sleep ( lol)... Please , if anyone got links to cheap share accommodation , and most especially , jobs link .. PLEASE , HELP A BROTHER..
Thank you all

igwee, dont forget the true stories and experiences of people that never say die !! in their journey to greatness. i really understand how tight scheduled and busy you are, but you can still put something down bit by bit. the experience is worthy and fullfiling! you cant imagine the no. of great minds that would be impacted with your wisdom and personality. i really need to read books/speechs from you. @bigm101.... congratulations mo mehn! so happy for youuu. o'boy! so, this is how you left mowe and their hectic traffic issues. wait a minute !.... where did you tell the immigration officers that you work ? lolzzz.

Please,how much is one-way ticket to Dubai as at dis festive period? Pls,state d airline. Thank u

Ovap: Please,how much is one-way ticket to Dubai as at dis festive period? Pls,state d airline. Thank u

If you are coming with a visit visa it is not possible to book a one way ticket. Except if you are coming with an employment visa. Return ticket as at yesterday with etihad is 3,640 dirhams and one way 3,000 dirhams. No much difference from a return ticket with a one way ticket on all airlines.

One way ticket for etihad on the 24th from Lagos (Los) to Abu dhabi (AUH) costs $1,704 that is 270,000naira.

@ henrimoto: I couldn't believe it at all . The mowe road was free and no traffic .. Hmmm, I have a youth organization and I showed him my ID ..
