werepeLeri: They were simply doing their work bro. Take it easy. Why do you call that racial discrimination? Because they know you are not a son of the soil and they want to prove you are legit. Take it with all calmness.

gbokukueba: I have been living in Dubai for about 3 months now and each time i arrive at the Airport am always singled out of the whole travelers for document checks and routine questioning which i have no problem with but just 4 days ago i was at the metro station waiting for a train only to be accosted by some policemen asking if i have the new Emirates ID which came into effect end of last month, i said yes and handed it over to them. They started asking me some stupid questions like where i work what do i do etc, while doing a check on the authenticity of my ID . I kept asking them if there was a problem they said no that they were only doing their job while speaking Arabic and asking when they saw the way i was reacting they now invited me into their office that i should sit down. I told them i was going to call my office that am not comfortable with the way they were delaying me they just kept saying no problem that its just routine and after about 20 mins they said i can leave.

In my short stay here i have not but noticed that there is racial discrimination if you are black unlike white folks. Most of the people that violate the law here are whites and the worst they will do to them is either a fine or deportation but blacks will face the full wrath of Islamic law.

I just cant wait to leave here, don't get me wrong it is a great place to visit but not a nice place to live as a black person.

auwal87: 1. Misleading title
2. OP is not writing from Dubai
3. The Mod that put this on front-page is also discriminating because he loves to hear what the OP wrote
4. Nigerians were the first "armed robbers" of dubai, incident happened in 2007

They are more hash on Asians than they are on Africans. In fact, they respect black Africans.

k10: bro, pele, but there is racial discrimination everywhere, even in naija.
Stayed in UAE for over 3 years and only got stopped once, this mostly happens when they get a report of blacks that recently robbed somewhere..

JimOvia: Really surprised to hear this. When I was there I was treated like a King. Its a lovely place.

Poster don't mind them Jor. Maybe you looked cheap and scruffy. They must have seen you like someone who can't afford to live there. I think you should spend money on looking good and not like a beggar.
Speaking to self *i wonder how all this crap makes front page. What is he expecting us to do by reporting dubai to us*

gbokukueba:

My job is based out of Dubai which means i have to travel frequently.

EPOMA:

Those arabs are very racist, the first day I arrived in dubai airport, the immigration officer was speaking english to the rest of the white guys and when it got to my turn he became deaf and dumb and was behaving funny to me, I had to ask him what his problem was and why he was not treating the rest in the same manner he treated me
