Dubai is expensive. Beautiful but very expensive. If you don't have a good job here its not worth it.

eazylion01: Hello house,
Pls i am in a dilemma,i need advice from experience Nigerians here in UAE,i am working in a private company owned by arab,but they have been making me work like Hebrew slave,i started working since february,i told them i want to quit since beginning of this month but they told me to pay for their visa,which is 3k dirhams,my basic wage is 1200 Aed,no how i can get that kind of money,they even make us(labour)work 9hours and again today my supervisor is forcing us to come work tomorrow which everybody know to be off here in UAE,for 6 hours,i am tired of working like a slave with no freedom,i am thinking of going to ministry of labour,but i someone told me its rare before a man can win complain at the ministry of labour,i even meet with the general manager that i have an emergency in my home country,he told me i should find some people that will sign for me that i will come back to resume my duty and if i don't come back the people will pay for my visa,pls i am a bit naive about UAE labour law,i need help.
Pls help a depressed brother out of this mess.........Dubai is not a rosy place,forget all what u hear about dubai,if u don't have a foreign certificate,they treat most blacks like slave,most jobs are hard,intending Nigerians that want to leave nigeria to come here for greener pasture should have enough money or secure job before leaving..Just my 2cent. I am patiently waiting for advice from this forum.
Thanks in advance

Sorry for your predicament i know its really not easy for so many persons here, some people doing menial jobs are working for 12hours even during this Ramadan that Dubai Government says it should be 6hours.

My dear no one can force you to work the highest your Boss can do is to Ban you for 1year if you refuse to pay the said amount. If you really want to go back to Nigeria then just call the Police and report your Boss that you are needed urgently back home or that you dont even want to work again you are tired and want to return to your country.

Police will immediately ask your Boss to cancel your visa and hand your passport over to you.

NOTE: it is your passport and nobody i repeat nobody has the right to act against your wish if you decide not to work again. I know of people that worked just 1month and decided to go back to Nigeria because of the stress and they couldnt cope.

Most employers hold on to employees passports mostly menial jobs because they know you will get tired and decide to leave without their notice 1 day.

If you are employed in a good company and have a good BOSS like mine then you can keep your passport with you, he is not worried because he treats his staffs well and there is no reason to leave without proper permission.

Just know that in Dubai you have to start small, you cannot just fly into dubai and you want a managerial position or Sales manager or Logistics Executive etc you just have to grow from small until you get to the top because dubai values experience more than you first class degree.


i can have a pass result with 3 to 4years experience and you hold a first class degree with little or no experience, Sorry the employer will pick me. They dont look at your grades whether first class,second class,third class. All they want to know is if you've got experience to do the job.

So tell me whats really the problem at your work place and is it Labour or free zone?

jimmy4x: Wow....this is cray!!!

eazylion01: Yes o bro,u can say that again,now they just paid last month salary,all nigerians working in the company are excluded,guess probably it is because of me,going to report first thing in the morning at the police station,they are just been wicked.

Yungmilio2:
.. no offense
first get the meaning of expensive (Dubai is expensive)
an average meal.. my own definition of an average meal.. Fried rice and chicken with a cocacola drink to step down...
Nigerian Meals.. lil.bit expensive. that's why most people would package a lot when travelling to Dubai
Dubai not a place for womanizers.. no near any Arab woman o, if unto womanising. them fit deport you...
smkoe ish: you can take shisha. good for the health.
Tranportation not a big deal, but do you have the job already and have you been employed?
Accommodation that's the Main ish. expensive than maitama or wuse in abj. sharing with other people will reduce ur bills..
finding it hard to watch premier league games
note:we Arabians don't like noise

jimmy4x:

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

omoteamac: ^^^....chai justi4jesu...does that mean you cannot save up to 60k per month? (Lets ASSUME you are earning 90k each month)....

Considering the fact that accomodation and transport have been taken care by the company...

That is why we advise everyone to do proper research before coming. If you feel you can't stand the little heat involved in walking from the train station to an office building then don't come until the weather is cooler…

If u feel u can't stay with 10 men in a room, then save enough money to rent your own room (about 4k aed)
