planetx:you obviously know nothing lol. If you ain't a Profesional, I don't advice such person to come to Dubai for work. Dubai is a place for professionals to make lot of money and gain the needed exposure but definitely not for blue corner jobs naaaaa. 2 Likes |

Raydos:but for professionals!!!!. I work in a construction firm as an health and safety professional and I'm doing well. Those of us in the safety career have better chances than our competitors from other countries like India, Pakistan, etc cos we have the necessary certification and qualifications as per meeting the requirement to work as safety professionals in uae. Hse professional earn a minimum of 15000dirham (1.5m naira) per month if you have nebosh diploma. Inasmuch as your qualifications determine your paid as far as hse career is concern in uae, it also depends on your employers. some employers paid their safety professionals 22000 Dirham (2.2m naira) per month while other might paid as low as 5000 Dirham (500k) per month. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Champagnemami: I was with you throughout the thread until you made this point. We all understand that what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B, heck we have billionaires in this same Nigeria people are dying of hunger, so using that logic is not always ideal. UAE and most Arab countries are generally not advisable as they have certain human rights violation issue, massive racism, archaic and Islamic laws Your class being made up of 98% Americans/British DOES NOT negate that fact that America (USA) is a better country for a Nigerian immigrant than UAE India is a shithole country and any reasonable person will not be planning on going to India for greener pastures, who the hell does that In life there are always exceptions, and your friends who have hit it big in India are amongst those few exception. When we talk about immigration, talk about empirical evidence, longitudinal and documentated facts of people LEGALLY making it or settling down well in Countries, and USA, UK, Canada and few EU countries are on top of the list of such countries. UAE is NOT on that list. You can't even hear about any company even talking about seizing, holding your passport in the countries I mentioned, I believe you don't understand the level of insanity for a company to even suggest such nonsense. Companies in the countries I mentioned also SPONSOR their employees work permit/visa too and are at the same risk of employees resigning or running away, UAE compainies that suggest this act of holding your passport are simply silly. Finally, I never said countries like USA, Canada and so on are beds of roses, but whatever suffering or agony an immigrant passes through, there are very stringent laws against human right abuse, racism, and generally this countries have 21st century modernised laws. I have lived in Abu Dhabi for 4 months, and visited Dubai a few times it's certainly a beautiful place, but certainly not an ideal destination for a Nigerian economic immigrant, I would say it's 2nd option to consider if USA, Canada etc are not feasible 17 Likes 2 Shares |

marvin906:I won't try to paint a picture of "it is all rosy here for everyone" cos it is not. There are lot of Naija youth suffering in uae and at the same time there are lot of naija youth having the best of life here. It all depends on your focused and how ambitious you are. You can never make it here in uae doing odd job, that is why I keep telling people not to bother to come here if they ain't professional. The only glorify odd job in Dubai is security but it is not easy to get. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Depressed101:You want to travel because you're tired of Nigeria lol. Without any plans and preparation, people like you are bound to suffer in Dubai. I'm sorry but that's the bitter truth. You don't have a 'hot-cake' degree, handwork or enough capital to run a business. Are you expecting a miracle?. Save that 500k you want to waste on agent fees and flight tickets and use it to start a poultry business in your village. Or some other business. But guess what? You'll never listen. I can't count the number of Nigerians I've met abroad who are stranded because they never listened. Some can't even afford a plate of food. You find them hanging around restaurants begging for food. They went unprepared: without a plan. I do encourage people to travel but to travel prepared. I wish you all the best. 18 Likes 4 Shares |
