VocalWalls:
what most people don't realize is that these massive buildings which has granted this country its modern civilization are mostly constructed and built by workers; the majority of which are expats in the UAE and which have been denied their respective wages for months by the companies which they're working for.

The process of recruiting these workers is simple; companies would typically post ads or contact foreign recruitment/ employment agencies based in multiple countries (Mostly Southeast Asian countries; i.e. Nepal, Pakistan, Afghansitan, India, The Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China etc..) to recruit workers for them. The agencies would act as the middle man been the two; they would find those interested in working abroad, or in the tempting offers and swaying promises made by the construction companies. The recruitment agencies would help the workers fill in their application forms & necessary documents for the job and the visa and assist them in booking their airline tickets once their visa has been approved. Ultimately they would get a fee from the workers and a percentage from the company.

The unsuspected laborers would take off to their destination in the hopes of being paid a high salary; and making a fortune to support their families back home.

Unfortunately, once they land in the UAE they are given a lengthy contract to sign with the company, taken to their accommodation, and their passports are stripped away from them and kept by their employers. This makes them unable to leave the country unless they obtain their passports back somehow, some of them never do and are trapped for years.

If that wasn't bad enough, the workers are made to stay in terrible accommodation. The places they are kept in are unhygienic and filthy for people to live in. Some are kept in old buildings, just on the outskirts of the city they helped build.

The issue has generated some controversy and international attention by the media, when a couple of journalists investigated the situation. Here are some pictures that's been taken by an Iranian investigative journalist who did an article about the mistreatment of these expats


HOLLUP! The unseen pictures of UK's 10 Downing Street

The workers are forced to share a room, sometimes 7–8 workers share one room to sleep in.

They are not offered running water for showering or cooking, and they aren't offered proper cooking facilities either. Which means most of the time they are forced to find unconventional means to cook for themselves.

Due to the lack of sufficient plumbing the men’s living compartment are engulfed by a river of sewage.

Some are paid as little as €150 a month, some are paid nothing whatsoever. Most are unable to protest, unable to leave because they don't have their passports & are forced to stay & complete their contract work agreement.

Most are in debt back home, because they had to take loans and borrow money to pay the agencies, and buy an airline ticket and their minimum wage income isn't helping them pay off their debts or support their families back home or themselves.

The working conditions themselves are atrocious, workers are forced to work for as long as 12 hours per day, sometimes more. They are made to work during day shifts, even when the temperature outside reaches 50 Celsius, workers have to work under the sun.

The UAE government officials have been criticized for allowing such treatment to take place. However, the government’s response was to deny such accusations & ensure all the migrant workers in the UAE are treated well and are taken care of by their employers. Even if reality revealed otherwise.

A lot of this is termed Modern slavery. A mini documentary made by Vice has been uploaded into YouTube in which reporter Ben Anderson poses as a British tourist and exposes the mistreatment of migrant workers in the UAE. I know it's a bet outdated, but this remains a pressing issue that's still going on till this day.

Well written.. You just saved me from the stress of typing

1. Now: Pink For Girls, Blue For Boys Then: Pink For Boys, Blue For Girls

Today, pink is often associated with all that is
delicate, romantic, and feminine. However, an
article from a 1918 magazine declared that pink
was for boys and blue was for girls. The main
reason behind this was that pink, which is
derived from red, is a stronger, war-like color
and thus more suitable for a boy. Blue was
considered more delicate and dainty, and thus
more fitting for a girl.
Nonetheless, these color recommendations were
not written in stone, and different department
stores recommended different colors for boys
and girls. Some, like Maison Blanche, said that
pink was more fitting for a boy and blue for a
girl. Others like Macy’s declared the opposite.
It wasn’t until after World War II that the color
pink started to become associated exclusively
with girls. The real shift, however, occurred in
the 1980s—partly because mothers who grew
up wearing gender neutral colors wanted to
adorn their daughters in lace and pink and
partly because it became more common to find
out the sex of unborn babies.

2. Now: Dresses Are For Girls, Then: Dresses Were For girls And Boys.

If you look at photographs of children from the
19th century, you might not be able to tell if
you are looking at a boy or a girl. That’s
because from around the mid-16th century right
up until the early 20th century, little boys wore
dresses.
Before 1550, people of all ages wore tunics or
gowns of some sort. Young children, regardless
of sex, were also associated with and cared by
their mothers and thus it may have been
appropriate for all young children to wear
skirts. Other factors, such as lack of toilet
training, the ease of expanding a skirt
compared to pants (clothing was quite
expensive back then), and the desire for
children to remain innocent or sexless for as
long as possible , could also explain why
dresses for boys were common. Nonetheless,
adults could easily distinguish boys from girls
because boys’ dresses were more tailored and
they tended to be made from plainer and
stronger fabrics.
When boys reached a certain age, usually by
eight, they were “breeched” or dressed in pants
for the very first time. Breeching was often a
formal ceremony marking the boy’s ascent into
boyhood, and parents who were better-off often
gave their sons a child-sized sword or a toy
weapon of some kind.
Eventually, new fabrics and detergents were
introduced, which meant trousers were easier to
wash and iron. After the 1920s, it became more
common for boys to wear pants.

3. Now: Cheerleading Is Almost Exclusively A Women’s Sport Then: Cheerleading Was A ‘manly’ Sport

When cheerleading originated back in the
mid-19th century, it was seen as an all-male
sport, which included gymnastics, stunts, and
crowd leadership. Being a cheerleader was
similar to being a quarterback, and it was
considered one of the most important things
that a young man could take away from
college. Eisenhower, Roosevelt, and Reagan
were cheerleaders, as was Jimmy Stewart.
Women cheerleaders were unheard of.
However, when men were deployed to fight in
World War I, women happily filled the vacant
spots in the previously masculine cheerleading
squads. The returned men were less than
enthusiastic with this development—they
thought that cheerleading was far too
masculine for women and made a serious effort
to try and push them out. Some schools went
as far as banning female cheerleaders
altogether.
Nonetheless, World War II soon followed, and
men were once again called to fight. Women
took this opportunity to further dominate the
sport, leading to its trivialization. Eventually, the
profile of an ideal cheerleader changed from a
strong athlete with leadership skills to someone
with a cheerful disposition and good manners.

4. Now: Knitting Is For
Grannies (Or At Least Women) Then: Knitting Guilds We're Exclusively Male

During the Middle Ages, knitting became
extremely popular, and knitting guilds were
established to protect trade secrets, improve
the quality of the profession, and boost
business. Most interestingly, these guilds were
exclusively male. Young men who desired to
become master knitters were expected to
devote six years of their life to training. These
high standards meant that knitting was
considered a form of art and members of
knitting guilds could count on being revered and
appreciated.
This did not last long, however. In 1589, the
first knitting machine was invented by
Englishman William Lee. Not long after came
the Industrial Revolution and more
sophisticated knitting machines were
developed. This resulted in a decline in hand-
knitting, and the once serious trade became a
parlor hobby for women.

5. Now: Hot Chocolate Is A Drink For Kids And Women Then: It Was The Drink Of Choice For Warriors

The Aztec emperor Montezuma II limited the
consumption of hot chocolate to warriors,
merchants, and nobles who were willing to
fight. Both blood and chocolate were thought of
as sacred liquids, and thus hot chocolate was
served at the initiation ceremony of new Eagle
and Jaguar knights who had to endure a
penance process before being allowed to join
the elite Aztec army.
In Spain, hot chocolate was drunk at bullfights,
and in England, chocolate houses were often
associated with one of the Parliamentary
parties and as a consequence often turned into
full-on gentlemen clubs. The Cocoa-tree
Chocolate House for example, was frequented
by the Tory party.
Hot chocolate was also a drink of choice for
explorers and adventurers due to its ability to
provide warmth, nutrients, and energy. The
explorer Robert Falcon Scott made his men
drink hot cocoa five nights a week—mornings
and evenings—during their unsuccessful attempt
to be the first men to reach the South Pole.
During the Revolutionary War, World War I, and
World War II, hot chocolate was distributed to
soldiers to help them recover and boost their
morale .

6. Now: Men Don’t Cry
Then: Weeping Men Were
Neither Feminized Nor
Condemned

In Homer’s Iliad, the Greek army repeatedly
burst into tears, and Zeus, the god of sky and
thunder, wept tears of blood. King Arthur cried
often, such as when he had to go to war with
his good friend Sir Lancelot. In medieval
romances, knights cried because they missed
their ladies and because they didn’t get to go to
tournaments.
Tears were abundant in real life too—one
ambassador was so moved to be addressing
Philip the Good (the Duke of Burgundy) that he
kept bursting into tears while the audience at a
peace congress sobbed as they listened to the
speeches. During the Middle Ages, tears were
proof of your guilt and a sign that you deserved
forgiveness, so men actually forced themselves
to cry in public to impress their peers.
No one knows how or when public male crying
disappeared. Some say it was the result of
urbanization, which meant that increasing
numbers of men ended up living among
complete strangers.

7. Now: Computer
Programmers Are Nerdy
Young Men
Then: Earliest Programmers Were
Women

In the early 1940s, the world’s first computer
programmers were hired. The University of
Pennsylvania employed six women to work on
its ENIAC machine, one of the world’s first
electronic computers. At the time, programming
was thought of as a low-skill clerical function.
Hardware development, on the other hand, was
dominated by men.
When personal computers emerged, it became
more common to buy them for boys than for
girls, even if girls were just as interested in
computers as boys. In addition, male
programmers began creating professional
associations and discouraged the hiring of
women.
8. Now: Stockings Are For
Women
Then: Stockings Were For
Men

Long before women wore tights, men wore a
hose (a type of stockings or tights), an
important staple of the male wardrobe. During
the Middle Ages, European men wore male
tights on horseback. In the 16th century,
shorter tunics became all the rage, exposing
more of the leg. Men felt they had to have
nicer legs, and the fashion of the time began to
accommodate these manly desires—the hose
turned into one garment that extended all the
way to the crotch.
The hose was often worn with high heels to
further enhance the appearance. King Louis XIV
of France was particularly fond of this look. It
wasn’t until later than women started wearing
stocking. The first pair of female pantyhose
was not invented until 1959.

9. Now: Beer Brewing Is
Associated With Men
Then: Brewing Was A
Woman’s Job

Initially, when men were out hunting, women
were out gathering ingredients that were
needed to make other foods and drinks,
including beer. As time passed, women not only
continued to brew beer for their own families
but also sold the surplus to strangers. In 13th-
century England, records from one town show
that less than 8 percent of brewers were men.
In 18th-century England, certain laws claimed
that tools used for brewing were solely the
property of the woman.
The woman’s role in the field of brewing began
to change during the Middle Ages when
monasteries brewed beer on a larger scale to
satisfy travelers’ demand. Many women were
prosecuted as witches, and some historians
highlight the clear similarities between
brewsters (the feminine form of the word
brewer) and illustrations for anti-witch
propaganda —frothing cauldrons (full of ale),
broomsticks (hung outside the door to indicate
the availability of ale), cats (to chase away the
mice), and pointy hats (to be seen above the
crowds in the busy marketplace)

10. Now: Men Are More
Interested In Sex
Then: Women Were More
Interested In Sex

In one ancient Greek myth, Zeus and Hera
argue about who gets more pleasure from
sexual intercourse—the man or the woman.
They ask the prophet Tiresias, who had once
spent seven years of his life as a woman.
Tiresias answers that if sexual pleasure was to
be divided into 10 parts, only one part would go
to the man and the remaining nine parts would
go to the woman . All over Europe, it was
believed that women had great sexual desire
and thus were labeled temptresses. Why else
would childbirth be worthwhile if the sexual
pleasure was not greater than a man’s?
How and when this stereotype became reversed
is not exactly clear, but some historians believe
that it was the result of Protestant ministers
portraying their congregants (mostly middle-
class white women) as moral beings rather
than seductresses. Women welcomed this
portrayal because in a way. It helped them
develop certain superiority over men.

I am a feminist and I won't apologize for it. But I have a problem with people demanding equality. If you demand your right from someone, it means that you acknowledge that the person is superior to you, you would be giving that person the right to mistreat you. Respect is earned.
If a particular situation is Frustrating me, I deal with it or walk away. I am a queen. I refuse to be a victim.

You dnt have to defend something as shameful as that! It's totally unacceptable. like I said uniuyo is my Alma mater and the photo is released by a lecturer in the said institution so I see no reason why I should hide this all in the name of sentiments. This is not to expose whoever did that trash but for others to see and learn from it. School is not a play ground it's a place for serious business (learning) whoever is not ready to study should go learn a trade instead of disgracing the institution and other responsible students.

Haba mummy, chill now?
Before she tok 1, you don talk 200. Kilode.

Tolexander:

It will be tantamount to stealing on the Emirati part if the accounts are closed without returning the money in them to Nigeria.

UAE didn't close down accounts. They temporarily restricted transactions until the owners of the accounts provide valid residence visa. And you can't have a residence visa except you work there, you are a student or a dependant of someone who works there. My mom just received a mail from her bank.

Wrong!!!!!!
The difference is:Buhari started with fuel scarcity, so that when he removes the fuel subsidy, Nigerians will be too weak and tired to complain.

Everyone is to blame here:
1. The husband who probably murdered the wife.
2. The wife who should have packed out and file for a divorce.
3. The pastor that pleaded on behalf of the husband
4. The mother that watched her daughter continuously get battered [/b]
5. The sister that should have paid boyz to deal with the man severely[b]

Nice list

DeMekus:

Yes, God will bless your marriage with as much lovely children as you want. But this is one problem about Nigerian Christians. They tend to place all their burdens on God, then fold their hands and wait for miracle. But they forget that even the Bible said 'heaven helps those who help themselves.' As for me, I can't risk marrying a woman I don't know her fertility status. Death is inevitable, when your time comes you'll die but it's not certain that every pregnancy will miscarry. So I'm ready to take the risk. Team #pregnancyBeforeMarriage#

Before I state my opinion, where in the Bible is it written? @ the bolded?
The Bible is very clear on fornication/adultery. Hebrew 13:8, 1 corinthians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 4:3.
You can justify your actions with whatever, but don't criticize the "Nigerian christain" for been a Christian.

Project400:
Your analysis/project needs more explanations.

Hello All,

I used this as a case study in a project and also observed it overtime that yoruba peeps do not value wearing their wedding rings because their wife was given to them freely unlike other tribes in Nigeria.

Try it with Ibo peeps or Akwa Ibom...peeps that paid through their nose to marry their wives.

Just saying though, yorubas should not come for my head.

SMH

I like simple weddings, but you were too defensive. I started noticing everything wrong after you exposed them. You wife is pretty, her gown simple and her chief bridesmaid cute. Happy married life.

ephemm:

You are taking this whole advice thing quite too personal than I can bear, I don't comment more than once on a thread so as to allow millions of NL users the opportunity to make theirs too before the thread gets too long and boring.

Pls go back and read the modified version of my 1st comment.

I advised OP based on several assumptions:
Eg what if the wife knows her husband is randy and has been trying to save her marriage by keeping other members of the family in the dark?

Every time, what you don't know, won't hurt you.

@bolded
There is a very promiscuous military guy who has HIV, here in Lagos. Dude has been taking his meds, told his wife they were vitamin supplements and continued having unprotected sex with her. The woman had rash on her vag1na, the doctor suggested she go for test, turned out she had been infected.
What she didn't know is hurting her.

scully95:


Who is talking about bride price here ? The Child belonging to the Father, means it used the rope to tie the wife down to the father right ? If the wife wants to go here, she's also free to go. So what's the point ?

How did that tie the wife down to the Husband ? She can also visit but the father will have full custody of the child (especially when it's one child) and when Child grows up to 18 he or she can decide where to go.


And this is simply because of Ladies generally. Single ladies in Yoruba land are always suspected to be fcking about anyhow or some even turn prostitutes. (Even when they are married they are still fcking abt carelessely, and kids learn very fast from them especially when these kids are not with their fathers or the two living together)

So you expect the kid here to grow up and be like her mother right ? Again this is not London or Uk or even Russia where they have a different culture. This is Yoruba land and the helders must have seen a lot before coming to this conclusion.

If we are to even go by your idealism of slavery, it's catholic here that is doing that. As we speak it's almost impossible to get a divorce and marry again in Catholic church.
What is that ?

I am sorry sir, but you got me confused. If the reason why the children should be in their father's custody is because their mom may be promiscuous, then this customary act was formulated by hypocritical sexists. Who can be more promiscuous and polygamous than the African (especially the yoruba) man? That one cannot influence the children abi?
Secondly, do you honestly believe that Tiwatope should give Jamal to the Father? I mean the one that cannot afford baby food and pampers?

She cleaned him out. Finished his ass like he messed up hers the day before. Dude’s likely to see any bathtub as a river after he watches that video.
