The UAE is designed for the benefit of Arabs.

Africans live a better life on their continent than those living in the UAE.

There laws are draconian.

The UAE have some of the weirdest laws in the world today.

For instance anyone can correct me but i read that at one point, wearing a Barcelona shirt in Dubai or Abu Dhabi could land anyone 15 years in prison.


There was once a law in the UAE that prohibits anyone from wearing a Qatar football shirt in the UAE.

Overall, its best to stay clear away from UAE and all the other parts of the Arabian penisular.

Their records on human rights is atrocious.
big lie!!!!

Let's look at it this way. Say you earn 150k monthly in Nigeria and you pay say, 45k as tax monthly, with all the amenities such as you have in Germany, ẹ.g. you don't pay school fees until your children gets to university, free medicals, child care benefit for your children. For instance, I leave in Canada. I earn 3600 dollars per month and I'm being taxed like 750 dollars. Meanwhile, my two children gets ccb of 1300, paid to their mother every month. (Shay I never get my 750 back grin?)


Jehovah bless your family

Thank you very much for that explanation

God bless you

Baba, I have NEBOSH IGC 1,2&3. I passed in just one sitting, came out with credit. I also have 5 years HSE experience, but if I tell you how much my company pay me you go almost cry for me. I am planning to leave the company anytime any day as soon as a better offer comes my way.


I am planning to go for NEBOSH diploma when I have the money, I have already gathered materials for the course, but for now I am seeking for better opportunities.

Most companies in Nigeria don't value HSE, a better offer would be appreciated. Thanks..

It appears you’re here to mislead people into thinking Dubai is some choice destination for hustling. And becomes livid once anyone expresses a contrary view to the narrative you’re projecting herein. Heck UAE is a third world country with unemployment level more high than the Western countries you’re comparing it to.

You know for sure that the Western nationals working in the UAE migrated not coz they don’t have decent jobs in their home countries but mostly as expatriates and to enjoy a more friendly climate but you won’t highlight that fact. Rather you’ll be evasive and make it look like they migrated for the sole purpose of looking for greener pastures they lack in their countries and migrate to “hustle” like Nigerians do migrate. It’s a travesty to even compare UAE with UK, US, Canada etc as they aren’t even close in any indices be it economic or social welfare nor employment nor earnings on average.

Don’t be mischievous and you are the one who need to chill and be receptive to dissent. What’s in UAE to encourage anyone to migrate there and even compare with Western nations. You even went as far as comparing US immigrants to UAE, please be serious and saying some can’t afford to send 20k as if that’s a new news...we’re talking about overall average. Imagine even comparing world biggest economies to a squalor third world nation.

Finally, be informed that I meant rooms sharing not apartment share, although I’m aware you understood what I meant but for mischief-making purposes had to address something else as regards room share I highlighted.

Please if you’re reading this I reiterate don’t dare go to Dubai except fraud/drugs is your main objective. There are little or no decent jobs there.

You are blessed

I've learnt alot from going through this thread. God bless the Op and others who contributed, although the thread was largely derailed with some uncessary bants and rants, I still think it's best we learn from others perspectives, making conclusions before reading the full part of the op story was uncalled for

Either ways I've made my choice, I personally went through this thread for the sake of my friend who plans on relocating to Dubai, I've being trying to persuade him, but to no avail..he seems adamant

I've sent the link to him, hoping he reads through.

I wish every Nigerian looking for greener pasture abroad good luck

Yes, that's if you are actually a citizen or PR holder. You would get the complete benefits. Not as an immigrant who works like monkey.

It's not so bad, but 42% is too much.

500k is approximately 5000aed

Here people make up to 10,000aed and above, I mean as a basic salary + all the allowances, while some make 1000aed monthly, It depend on your job.

I'm not saying UAE is heaven, anybody wey 9ja don tire can come & try his/her luck, but don't sell your land or properties because you're coming to UAE, the chances of securing a job now is very slim. Indians and Filipinos has taken over

The fact that they keep your passport from you should raise all red flags about the ‘job’ such things should be illegal. OP why don’t you tell us the kind of work you do over there.

Nigeria bad Nigeria bad so people becoming willing to consciously submit themselves to slavery undecided

People should stop breeding like rats in Nigeria to reduce all these unnecessary pressure of ‘taking care of my family abi village’

They will never listen.

Even in the US, People without papers make 10 to 15$ per hour. That's 400$ to $600 weekly. I'm sure you already know what that is monthly.

Most Americans relocate to UAE not because of greener pasture but mostly for weather reasons.

Daddy, Get Visa come Yankee ooo
Yankee is cool no doubt but hse professionals in Dubai earn more than hse professionals in USA. I've lot of folks who are into hse in USA and their paid is not even up to my basic salary. Yes yankee is great but I'm after money and as long as Im getting it here, I ain't gat no problem at all. Dubai is a goldmine... Finito!

Cos during summer here, you can cook beans outside without fire

I still disagree with you, An American will make more money in Dubai than in America if doing same job
American make lot of money here than in USA. My American frd has been in uae for more than 15 years and nigga don't wanna leave at all. Uae is good for professionals that's the gospel truth. Anybody that wanna hustle should try Europe, and USA.

God bless you bro!

Please stay in your home country if you value your freedom and leave all these middle East countries. Ask Abike Dabiri of the Diaspora commission, the reports on Nigerians in these places are not good. The hope is a one in a thousand cases. I watched one documentary where Nigerians re begging government to come take them back.
If you can pay agent 1.4M for a visa you can do well in Naija or find a better country with good human right records to go to.
middle east is not the right place to do odd job bro.

I have worked in UAE (Dubai) please don’t be deceived that country is not for blacks they hate Nigerians with passion most job openings will indicate no Nigerians are allowed to apply to tell you how much they don’t need us Dubai have suspend the issuance of visa to Nigerians many times, I don’t have enough bundles I would have post a video where over ten thousand people came for a job where they need just 50 people as security at mail of emirate. Conclusion for those who think you can work in two places you lie in UAE u can only work in One place is illegal to in two places, the lie lie poster alleged they where paying his friend who was a laborer 2k Derah , the highest you receive as laborer is 1400k derah which around 120,000 Naira a month.

Nothing as good as save your money go and see life, chop life and come back to come and start the hustle again. A country where they scan your passport any where you go, looking for what i don't know. Ordinary to visit someone residence opposite Dubai mall security asked for passport before entry. How would some one live with expired papers in such environment?
Are you planning to use expired papers?
