Good thing is this, he's not disgracing us out there. Shun crime!

frankmoney:
but he isn't spending the money in Nigeria .. so it may not be much

It is much because the economy is better. Food is cheap, transportation is cheap, electricity is cheaper cos he isn't buying generator fuel everyday. Water is available, air is clean, no area boys and agberos to extort you, you are not paying street association fee to fix your muddy streets. So yes, that money goes a long way.

Well done.

N147k as cleaner. NLC and TUC are still waiting for buhari to 18k for them. Happy escape guy.

He earns approximately #150,000.00 per month. Company gave him free accommodation, free electricity and water.... The only thing he spends on is just feeding. He will comfortably save 120k per month. Many ppl working in Nigeria with suits and tye merely earns 40 to 50 or 70k as case maybe. My friend that works in d bank earns just 60 k as a contract staff. Therefore, am happy for him bcs over there in Nigeria..... Its not easy to get a job that pays u 100k and above.

Being a street cleaner in UAE, London, America wherever is NOT better than being a medical doctor in Nigeria. It is out of ignorance you made that statement because you have never traveled abroad before including all the people who gave you likes.

Go learn the meaning of the word "probably".

I don't do runs, I'm bigger than that.

I don't even have the time or strength to sleep with different men. You wan kee me?

If my type is the only type of woman on earth, cheating and sleeping with different men won't occur. Men will be forced to be faithful.

Anyways his cleaning job is honorable. More success to his story.

Just count yourself lucky cos no better man with potentials nd money ever met u b4 dats why u think dt u re differnt from others...
A man would think that he can never steal ....dats because he hasnt seen where millions is b4

igbo AMAKA the cleaner
Thank god he's not a developer

My dear read again the FORUM says an Edo Boy, invariably from Edo State.

geloorrrrdd:
LOL. such flawed comparison. That money is only big when converted to naira. And since he won't be spending the money in naira, i'm pretty sure it is not big enough.

They don't understand. House rent alone will take more than half of that amount l.

nigerian youths arent lazy and a very very large population of them just want or need a job and they will be very very happy to be in a place where they can at least have a chance to work and feed without going into crime but unfortunately the nigeria system has very little window of opportunities for youths except you have a well connected person as your backer or some millions in your bank account to facilitate your dreams and actualize it

The bottom line is : Wherever you find yourself, be happy.

PS:
But try to get your a$$ outta this f.ucked country .
You'd be happier for it .

If I use mistake land for South Africa , I'm not sure I would be able to contain my Joy.

I go turn Sia and Zain combine.

I can't dance but with my croaky voice, I'll sing down the world.

Na free visa now

It's still something considering that in uae are mostly tax free and sometimes your living expenses are usually paid for by your employer,so everything is for savings/straight into pocket.

A dancing 26-year-old Nigerian cleaner identified as Lucky Etinosa Aivinhenyor, stole hearts on the internet after his video went viral.

The video was shared on Twitter by a road user in Abu Dhabi and it already has over 13,000 likes and 4,000 retweets. The Edo-born cleaner has only been in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for four months and was vibing to Burna Boy’s music when he was filmed unknowingly.

“Back home in Nigeria it’s very difficult. My father died when I was 3 years old, so I had to work hard to support my family,” said Lucky who is single and the second youngest of eight children.

“Back home job opportunities are very few and it is difficult to find work, so I just feel fortunate to be working for my family.

“I’ve only been in the UAE four months but I’m so excited to be at work that I just dance. I’m always happy whatever I do.

“Anything you do, you have to give thanks,” said the street cleaner who gets two Fridays off a month and earns under Dh1,500.



“I wasn’t planning to do this work, my experience is in computers, but I’m sincerely happy in any work I do. I enjoy living in the UAE and being here never makes me feel bad. It’s much better here than where I come from.”


On his newfound fame, the cleaner employed by the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre Tadweer told Gulf News;


: “I’ve got no choice but to be happy and continue praying for the favour of God. If he wants to favour me he will and with this I believe he has favoured me.

“I was so surprised to see it went viral, a lot of people contacted me to say I have good vibes and rhythm, and I’m delighted by all the comments. My family haven’t seen it yet but I’m sure they will be proud.”

This is the disgusting and disgraceful level our country has found itself. With this consistent poor leadership since the Shagari government. It was made worse by Babangida and the googled man who weekly raided the central bank using the then governor of the bank. Here we are today with a youth dancing in the street of a country that faced its own development plans seriously in the 80s. Lawma staff are highly underpaid and ill treated. With huge potentials in Nigeria D1,500 may not be more that 100K Nigeria and yet the young man is jumping there. For all we know Nigeria may have more oil reserves than the UAE. Theirs is used to develop infrstructure and human capacity. Our wealth is shamelessly embezzled by a few individuals daily. The recovered sums are embezzled again by another few who find themselves in the position at that time.

Who will rescue Nigeria from this socio-economic poverty? It gets worse daily. No food, no job, no security, no happiness, no accomodation. When Buhari won it was sai baba everywhere but mostly the northerners were rejoincing over the opportunity to make this country their own. Here we are today with the Fulanis striving hard the overrun the entire nation. Guns everywhere in the hands of the fulanis while security is used to silence the rest unarmed people. The way it is going will Nigerians not rise up one day to take their country back in the face of this relentless oppression?

There is one up there claiming a street cleaner in UAE get free accommodation and electricity lol, who told this people this lies.

MGab25:


YES! He's favoured sorely because he earns more than most top employees in the company you work, even as a cleaner

You can see mentality of Nigerians believing anybody in abroad is making it more than many people in Nigeria. Recently, my friend was telling me about his friend working at a factory in Dubai, UAE. He's collecting 990 Dirham. I converted this amount to naira and it's equal to #90k monthly. The guy was lamenting that he could not save and people at home thought he was rich. Now back to the cleaner above, cleaning job is unskilled job and I ask you how much do you think he would be earning? What kind of house do you think he lives? I commend him for showing happiness but don't think he is making it more than us here. Maybe skilled job can earn you more at UAE.

planetx:

Yes most employers in the UAE will give you free accommodation (bedspace) and you don't pay for electricity or WiFi. Tadweer pays 900aed per month actually.

How is your friend not able to save with 90k? The salary is tax free, he gets free accommodation too even though its a bedspace. And you don't spend much on feeding because things are very cheap. You need to ask if he has been living an extravagant lifestyle. If you can't save from 90k in UAE where most of your expenses are your employers responsibilities , I doubt one can save anywhere else.

LAWMA Staff dance pass am

You guys are incredibly ignorant. What is cheaper?

To get a studio room in Dubai just a basic room to live. You are spending 2400 AED per month. That's almost twice his montly salary. Also you have not factored in cost of feeding and other necessities. To survive he would have to live in such a room with maybe 8 other people.


A younger colleague who went to the US to study is paying $700 for a shared apartment per month. That's more than what you would pay for in a year in a mini flat in Surulere Lagos.


So you guys should stop doing these useless comparison.

You are right but most menial jobs earn them between 80K(Nigerian Naira) to N150,000. I asked a neighbor who travelled to UAE and he told me that. They even live in rooms with several bed spaces. He told me that professional jobs pay better but they enjoy 24/7 electricity and "clean and crime free" environment. Though some people get jobs of more than N150k.

Except you are a professional, yahoo or drug dealer, you can't earn so much.

and how did you know that transportation and electricity is cheaper ? What about rent ? Tax ?

It's better than working on a country where a Professor obtained loan to buy Corolla Sport car of 1.2m

Lie! A professor would very easily afford that. In any case, you honestly think workers in developed nations don't live on loans? Nigeria has problems, no doubt but this feeling that once one leaves the shores of Nigeria, all his problems are solved is certainly wrong. The dancing guy deserves pity. He's in full mental slavery. What are his long term prospects? He's not likely to save enough, he's a contract worker, he's an immigrant that would be asked to leave as soon as his agency doesn't need his services anymore...and how about the issue of dignity and self esteem?

SoftP:
I bet he just entered his next phase of promotion. with this video, somebody will give him a better job.

Keep dreaming, you don't know arabs, they hate good vibes, positive energy and western styled music.... hmmmmm, some may be thinking he is planning to seduce their women by dancing. .. those MoFos are crazy!

I beg tell them. . UAE, that's doesn't give citizenship no matter how long u live there, they hold on to your passport, all that ish na him person go they overjoyed to live in?

Guy is happy because he makes $400 a month, probably he lives rent free with other slave laborers in a camp, so he will send $100 to support family, feed on Pepsi and shawarma with $100 and save $200 so he is thinking after 2 years, he will save $4500 to try Europe or Canada moves. Trust me, that's why he is dancing

Have you been to the UAE before? That money is crap there. It won't last me a week even if I decide to go hyper austere....
