This country is just like Nigeria the only difference is they are far more developed and they actually use the money they steal to get work done.

The blood of enslaved Indians and pakistanis, they used for cheap labor to build these castles is crying out for justice. Many poor Indian men die of heat stroke, working to build under scorching sun, then falling off hundreds of feet from cranes and it is never reported. Even those that manage to get in the headline, there are no compensations to the immediate family. The labor wages of Dhs. 2,500 a month in Dubai which is $681 is what averagely a US construction worker makes half a week, coupled with benefits of life insurance, health insurance, tuition reimbursement and other holiday and overtime pay. I don't give a damn if Dubai is build with gold, I lived there enough to know whatever they built was on slave labor and they do not respect anyone who is not a local (citizen of UAE) an American, (Amerikiyya, thank God I am now one) Canadian, British, Australian or GCC (Gulf cooperating countries of UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait) if you are not from all these countries i mentioned above, UAE will treat you like a piece of shi it....

Dubai is an artificial city, though the effort they have put in place in turning a desert into what they now is encouraging, but it requires high maintenance in making it functional.

Nkemdi, while I applaud their effort to better their country, I believe everyone deserves comensurate pay with the work they do. It is criminal to pay people peanuts because you know they can't fight you. That is theft of man power

what about putting the fire out as soon as possible!
it's a tricky deal. You can,only do that when you understand the circumstances surrounding the fire and have the appropriate extinguisher. The building is still electrified, so direct use of water from a canon is not advisable.

Exactly Naturefellow, fires have classes A, B, C and they are so categorized based on what started it. You have to know what category of fire is burning to extinguish it effectively.

Why build a residential building so tall? Is it competition?

and while they wait for the power supply to the building to be cut off, the best thing first responders can do is to watch the fire burn some more undecided

Unfortunatly, the people of Nigeria are not interested in good road, structures, food, better healthcare nor good standard of living. All they do is support APC, and PDP Elites. By so doing the country suffering has to be prolong. Dubai is developing and changing every day no politicians or election there, nothing like indigen's madness or no man's land syndrome. Despite that 90 percent of the developers and workforce are non indigen yet no fighting about it unlike this useless Nigeria. For me Nigeria is yet to start. Funny, the government keep making noise on radio and television. In Dubai they don't talk you only see the plan and tomorrow work is completed. If change enter Nigeria we will know.

U are right brother. They don't talk, they only believe in action. I so much envy the country honestly. And when I remember the impunities going on in Nigeria since independence, I shed tears. We are cursed with visionless, self-centered, greedy and wicked leaders.
