okeyben10: Again didn’t read, poor punctuation. Even a 2year old can do better. Nkita ala. You can still go back to school though although I fear it’ll be fruitless as even a 2:2 qualification will be an impossible task. No wonder you ran to useless Dubai to sweep streets at $500 a month coz you don’t have any skill or qualification to do a decent job. You’ll die in that useless country if you don’t go and start farming in your village which is better than languishing in penury in that desert. Afo anu |

Nnamebuka: In all you’ll agree that I’ve been thematic to the narration of this post and didn’t resort to personal attacks until some misfits felt resorting to verbal attacks could be the way to counter me but it boomeranged on them. Issues were raised and I countered them without attacking personality at first and apparently feeling enraged for not being able to tackle my points they felt silencing me with verbal attacks will work. While I’ll keep addressing any misrepresentation of facts as I deem necessary I won’t cower to misfits wanna-be cyber bullies. Thanks for your time. 1 Like |

okeyben10: The harder you try to make sense the more you expose how retard*ed you are. Your level of incoherence and ineptness to make sense show an obvious inability to engage in any sort of discourse and a lack of grasp with the contextual basis of any comment you react to; and may be a window to your educational background. As an irredeemable idiot you prolly thought I ignored your last two comments coz you’re daunting and that emboldened you but I just couldn’t make logic from it just like this one. I barely engage retards and obviously illiterates more than 5mins as their profound lunacy can be contagious. You’re a fool, an irredeemable one and you know it.

Mcowubaba: Ya. No one is stopping anyone from traveling to anywhere las las reality will set in into whoever travel to certain countries without getting the right information or ignore advise. I’m not unfamiliar with Nigerians and how they react whenever anyone attempt to give necessary info about their prospective countries and how they can make it seem like you’re an enemy of progress. I have a distant relative who once told people in the village meeting how he’s working on traveling abroad about a decade ago. So my dad enquired to know what country he’s planning on traveling to and he retorted Libya. My dad being someone who’s enlightened about countries and their economy advised him not to go there and that there’s nothing in Libya and even if his plans is to migrate to Europe via Mediterranean Sea that he should abort it highlighting the risk. This guy swiftly denounce his advise and told him that even if Libya is as tough as stone it’ll melt like water once he steps in there and he’ll succeed. We later heard he told someone that my dad is an enemy of progress and doesn’t want others to travel to Europe like his kids who are all there. He later embark on the trip and it didn’t take up to a year and he returned. His experience and story was very sour and he told anyone who cared to listen that nothing will ever make him thinking of abroad again in his life, whether Europe or America or heaven that he’s done. Owing to Nigeria’s frustration and hardship people become desperate to travel without seeking for the right info about where they want to go and when you call their attention to it you become a hater. UAE’s economy is designed for tourism and expatriate not for blue collar or even white collar hustle in most cases. I’m an exposed, well-travelled and someone who always seek for knowledge and information about different countries happens to be one of my major interest in my quest for knowledge. And such has led me to know that countries like U.A.E., SA, Cambodia, India, Russia and a host of others aren’t a good choice of destination for immigrants. From this OP story and subsequent comments I found a lot of cracks which I first ignored until they became too much and I couldn’t ignore the misrepresentation of facts she was conveying and on pointing them out she became apprehensive and unnecessarily confrontational for obvious reasons. Such a distortion of facts shouldn’t be ignored. 11 Likes |

Mcowubaba: Well said. I think this fella has a motive and it might not be disconnected from the possibility that he or she is looking for potential UAE visa patronisers to fleece off their hard earned money. It’s not a coincident that she keep rebuffing any contribution that discredit her folly about Dubai being some great city to hustle, moreso from people like yourself who have lived there. Typically, when one source of livelihood or biz is being undermined they resort to aggression to counter dissent as she has been doing here. UAE as a country annual healthcare budget doesn’t square up to even 30% of the UK NHS nor that of US and normally distribution of spending in any country health sector (or any sector) and staff earnings is determined by the overall health care budget of that country. In light of this, there’s no way she can save 15million naira in a year as an imaginary nurse. The average salary of a nurse in Dubai is between £500-£2000 based on information available on the web. So even if she’s to earn £2k per month and save all of her earnings without considering any disposable income that will mean her annual earnings is £24k, and that’s not even up to 15million naira. She must really think we are dummies here. Note that as it with the norm before one can earn the £2k per month which I used as a metrics for my calculation they usually should have some experience years of practice but according to her it was in her first year, therefore no way for an entry level employee with no experience to earn that much. Such a scam. 4 Likes 1 Share |

NONNYG: The amount I mentioned is the least anyone in the UK earn and no one no matter their job earn lesser. I know and read stories about UAE a lot and average earnings and the odd jobs people do and feelers is that 300k average is what most immigrants earn and for many people jobs that pay 300k is a dream. Note that there’s hardly any immigrant especially a Nigerian who’ll settle for a minimum wage jobs I earlier stated in Britain when better opportunities are abound.

Let them take coz of desperation and Nigeria frustration and move to a country where they have to work extremely hard for peanuts with no future of settling permanently. By settling I mean getting to naturalise or get a permanent residence. One has to be really frustrated to even consider UAE, India, SA, Russia and a few others.

She even used tax as a bait to appeal to people that Dubai is great and comparable to UK, US etc. The take home income of a minimum wage earner after tax in the UK is about £1150 and that’s approximately 520k naira. And that’s for a 40hour a week and no overtime included. I’m certain it’s same in the US, Canada, Aussie and most first world countries. How many immigrants in Dubai earn up to 500k a month? How many natives earn as much on average? I’m using UK coz that’s where I live and can conveniently make comparisons. Dey here dey paint a useless country as something worthy to consider. If not that Naija has become a joke I wonder how anyone will encourage even an enemy to move to UAE especially if they can afford to go to Europe or America. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

I’m suspecting this account was created to serve a sinister purpose by painting UAE as a choice destination and knowing that Nigeria is frustrating for many, some people will reach out to this poster to seek for info and help them migrate to Dubai.

Champagnemami: 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. 29 Likes 5 Shares |

A lot of emphasis is being made about withholding of passport as if that’s the primordial issue. While it is true that passport are personal property and should be in the custody of it owner at all times, I think it’s diversionary and even unnecessary to the intent of this post. That notwithstanding, I strongly advise that no one should travel to Dubai for greener pasture as there’s nothing for you there. UAE is as useless and tough like the Nigeria you intend to elope from. You work under harsh conditions for peanuts and for most they can’t even afford a decent room without sharing with people to reduce cost and for many they are average of 5 sharing a room. I have close friends in Dubai whose story are all same and are living in squalor. Please for your own good avoid UAE, India, Russia, Cambodia, SA and Indonesia by every means possible. Better retire to your village and farm than embark on a journey to any of the aforesaid countries. Don’t say you weren’t warned. 30 Likes 4 Shares |
Health / Re: My Experience At Apata General Hospital Ibadan by birdmansoho: 4:16pm On Dec 05, 2019 |
sgtponzihater1: Not quite. I’m a pharmacist working with the NHS and never heard or experienced where a patient will be kept unattended for up to 3hours. It’s true that the A&E usually get overstretched and wards fully occupied but new patients always get attended to with average waiting times of about an hour while waiting at a wheel chair or beds positioned at corridors. Blood samples are taken and first aid help rendered while waiting for space in the A&E or hospital wards. About being unruly, yes true Nigerians are very unruly but that may not really be an excuse for unprofessional behaviour by doctors/nurses and healthcare staff in general. It’s assume by default that a patient is emotionally unstable and should be treated with care regardless of their behaviour. I’ve visited a friend in the hospital here who had some operation that they had to have him induced into coma and upon regaining consciousness after he started hitting the doctors and everyone who came to attend to him and their reaction was to be calm and still pet and offer him the care he needs. |

Nigerian hospitals are quackery and unfit for animals and I don’t just mean public hospitals but private inclusive. Until I moved to the UK I never knew what hospitals should look like and what advanced healthcare experience could be like. I used to have a health condition that warranted me to often visit hospitals while in Naija, it was a sad experience day in day out. I was treated with disdain and contempt on a regular. The staff are rude, the hospitals are dirty and unkempt and substandard equipments. In contrast if you see the standard and quality of care hospitals provide in Britain or Europe you may even want to fall sick. Couldn’t believe it the first time I was admitted in the hospital here, I was treated like an egg. It’s just amazing. I’ve always said that every Nigerian should in their lifetime visit any western country even if not to stay but just to see how a decent society should look like. 1 Like |

A few posters have posited that married women now cheat a lot and that they even have married women hitting abi flirting with them. I can confirm their assertion to be true. In recent years, I’ve come to realise that the level of infidelity among the married women is alarming. I’ve had quite a handful of newly married women, mostly in their mid 20’s flirt with me or we flirted and even went as far as engaging in video fvck. I have explicit pictures of one of them in particular, which I’ve had for over a year now and never shared with anyone and intend to go to my grave with it, for if it dared leak it’ll cause a social media storm as the lady in question is very active on social media and married to an equally popular rich guy. I’m an unmarried guy and very ready to get married by next year (if all odds add up) but each time I remember how these married women flirts with me till date I become paranoid. Imagining my future wife flirting/cheating with guys and even sharing pictures where they bare it all. Men have been known to be cheats from time past and women not so much or they’ve always been coded about it but the level of infidelity in married women is very worrisome. Just very scary. 7 Likes |

bizzibodi: Actually to qualify for a mortgage one of the major requirements aside finance is that one must have a settled status. A settled status is a person who has a permanent residence/indefinite stay, a British or EU citizens and in some cases refugees and to qualify for permanent residency one must have lived in the UK for at least 5years which he clearly hasn’t. Another crack in his story is that for the 3years he claims to have been here he must have to spend a year to run a course to enable him practice as a foreign trained doctor. Is it 2years (or less) savings of about £1k that he used to get the mortgage or he came with savings from Nigeria? Anything for clout dey sha. 1 Like |

Getting a mortgage house isn’t easy but then isn’t a big deal especially for an average healthcare professional in the UK. Most trained health professionals ranging from pharmacists, doctors, nurses, consultants etc earn at least £36k annually and they usually get a mortgage within 2-3years of practising. So nothing spectacular. |

LagosismyHome: While you may have a point but try not to lose sight on the fact that people give birth for different reasons. Some because they want someone who will look after them at their old age and vulnerable moment and the ones who just want coz the society expect them to among other reasons so if someone in their bid to beat immigration control in their host countries decide to have a child then yeah it’s part of the game. It can become a problem if they renege from their parental responsibility and obligation to that child. So far as Western countries keeps tightening the noose on immigration and ways of acquiring residency people will adopt desperate means to manoeuvre through the system. I’ve met several people of both sexes who deliberately had babies just to manipulate the immigration system and it’ll keep happening. Whether it’s right or wrong is a different issue and subjective. 3 Likes |
