Oh no
Its not an eye lesion.its more of a question of your mental health condition.blame it on your dyslexia if you like. Meanwhile read it very slowly, 5 words per minute and maybe you'd understand50% of whats up there.
Ewu beribe.you did not insult anybody at first kee you there


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

Like you've ever made logic from anything.you most likely are dyslexic.you use lots of bogus words wrongly but cannot understand the simplest of statements.making lots of foolish emotion ladden arguments. The only time i saw someone as deranged as you over an entire nation was in benin.d man was in Italy during the 90s that era Nigerians were in Italy for prostitution and all what not.He tried his hands on homosexulity and was injected with all a lot of chemicals.his hatred for Italy can only be compared to your passion for uae. Now that i think about it, m wondering if he might be your libyan uncle because he also passed through libya.
Smelly demon, d best thing youve accomplished is passing on your hoe to your brother friend and not letting him know.you definitely lack integrity but can from miles away identify a scam.

Bro I've followed your argument on this thread painstakingly and I must admit you are right in all your submissions especially as I too know many people that have got their fingers burnt out of ill-advised trip outside naija. Heck, the recent evacuation of Nigerians from Libya in recent times are very fresh in our mind.

Now that being said, I think you are a bit too caustic in your words and approach here. Fighting and cursing just about almost everyone that quoted you here has subdued your message and made a mess of it. Funny thing is that you are so selfless as to fighting for the supposed gullible here but you have to be more gracious and tactful in your choice of words and mannerism in general.

If you read in between the lines you'll observe that the guys you are fighting even though their stories seemed embellished are still stating facts from their own perspective. Those you are afraid for (blue cola jobbers etc) are quite different from their target audience (professionals). Some of them have pointedly made it clear that if you don't have certain certificates or skills that you will suffer. I think they are being fair and open here.

Please nwanne mmadu rein in this unnecessary fight cos it benefits no one at the end. Cheers!

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.

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.

Spot on bro @ birdmansoho

I have seen interesting comments and statements as expected from people, hehe
Some are even calling us destiny blockers cheesy cheesy, or bad belle, I swear I love Nigerians
Over zealous lots and fanatically religious.

People have to understand that this is a Public Forum, and many people here have various levels of knowledge, exposure, thought process and education, so you can't just say anything you want, without someone fact checking you or disputing the claims

Don't get me wrong, I am in no way suggesting that people should troll or become nuisance all for the sake of fact checking or having an opinion.
That being said, I read through the thread from the very first page, with a clear intention and not thinking of finding fault or fact checking anybody, then around the 8th or 9th page, I saw when the OP made some very misleading/false claims, I felt the need to call the OP out on it, but I was accused of being a destiny blocker, bad belle or pessimistic fellow, that's the problem with many Nigerians, most of us are arrogant, stubborn and over religious, hence we have limited critical thought process.

I have created threads and made comments severally, and people fact checked my statements, and we had a logical discussion about it, obviously some were just trolls, so I did not engage further.

There is a need to say this and I know some may view it as bragging or whatever, I have been a member of Nairaland since creation (2005), this is my 2nd account which was created after I lost access to my first account, this 2nd account was created over 6 years ago, and in my time I have contributed to many topics and discussions in various sections
Travel/immigration happens to an area I have extensive Knowledge myself, having been an immigrant for most part of my life, and had the opportunity to live in over 7 countries, let me leave it at this.

One major problem Nigerians, especially aspiring immigrants face is FAKE NEWS/MISINFORMATION, most swallow whatever the see or hear, and the make grievous mistakes and life changing decisions based on false information.


My man birdmansoho, I was not even interested in fact checking the savings claims made by the OP, rather I found it strange that the OP brought up how much he/she has saved cheesy cheesy, so people will know UAE is some paradise
A place were most black girls are viewed as prostitutes and black man are viewed as drug dealers/criminals

No one is discouraging or stopping anybody from going anywhere, we can only advise, suggest or recommend, that final decision lies with you

People think Nigeria is so bleeped up lol, una never see suffering for some countries hahaha, shebi travel, "make we just commot" "we go manage" "anywhere better pass Nigeria"

For instance, some people that follow through asylum process, are subject to some unimaginable humane conditions and physical abuse and torture

anyways good luck to everyone

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.

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

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.

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, I depends 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 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. Except those who don’t have papers

This poster in a desperate bid to paint a great picture of Dubai compared it with US, UK, Canada like seriously who compares UAE with world biggest economies where unemployment is extremely low.

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.

Lol
People just dont understand that its not easy anywhere. Currently, the US is d best place to hustle. So many side/odd jobs especially with the immigration restrictions. But in that same US, there are many Nigerians who can't afford a ticket home. Heck, some can't even send 20k for a family emergency in Naija.

In my school we're 80% Britain, Canada, America, Australia. The rest 20% are Arab, Africans, others. These 80% are coming from countries that you all are running to.

I earn more than a teacher on my grade level in the US. These ones use some considerable sum of their salary for taxes. Whereas mine is tax free.

But in this same Dubai, you find people with same qualifications as mine doing domestic help work of 150k.

At the end, its about sensitization. Don't just carry bag and say m going to Dubai. What are you coming here to do? Is that d best you can do? Are there better options? Ask questions and arm yourself with info.

That same India you condemned i have friends there who have hit it big. Meanwhile Indians are running into Dubai in droves.

And what's wrong in a shared accommodation? After I got my first pay, i rented a self con of 35k dirhams per annum. After 3 months i did a brain reset and got a shared apartment for 9000 aed per annum. Which means i now save extra 2.6million naira yearly.

That it didn't work for Yuh friends doesn't mean it wont work for others.

So you just take a chill pill and breath

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.

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.

You were treated that way because you also behaved yourself. Naija patients are unruly in many cases, same thing with Doctors. This chaotic mix gives what we now see.

When you go the the AnE in UK sometimes you end up waiting 3 hours or even more. You don't see anybody screaming and making a mess of the place. Its not the same thing in Naija. Everywhere would have been noisy, chaotic and rowdy. People are also given 2-3months non-emergency appointments, but book a patient for even one month here and see him screaming and trying to pull down the place.


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.
Health / Re: My Experience At Apata General Hospital Ibadan by birdmansoho: 4:12am On Dec 05, 2019
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.

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.

If na Nigeria he will never agree to buy or build this type of house design,but why buy a house & not rent when u not a permanent resident.

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.

Yes, You can be in the US and be useless.
You can be in the UK and be unuseful
You can remain in Nigeria and be blessed
All blessings come from above.

I take as an exception on the highlighted remark as an atheist who doesn’t believe in a sky daddy and whatever above means. Neither am I a fatalist who believe that success and destiny are predetermined. Everyone (in a working system in Western world) have the capacity to decide and pilot their future and become whatever they want. One’s destiny is in their hands to put it simply.

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.

He bought it through a mortgage. The money he was making monthly was towards a downpayment. My younger brother too wants to buy a house and he's saving up.

I doubt this house is in London. House prices there are crazy. He will only be able to buy a flat there and it won't be anything bigger than a 2bed if he's even fortunate.

You’re well informed. A house this size in London should be around £500k which will put it mortgage down payment at £50k. I live in London and my mortgage of 2bed apartment is is £350k and just about same price of this house. But just a flat in shared building.

Aijekun iya no je. He’s a clown. How can a supposed law maker not know the law. That INEC can’t cancel an election as they don’t have the powers to do so and only a court can cancel an election. Hope he has enough savings to fund his flamboyant lifestyle now that there won’t be budget allawee

Is there any particular reason you mentioned "with a caucasian"? What about other races? Latina, Asian, black etc.?

Many prefer them coz they’re usually unaware about using marriage to get papers. Non natives and people from other background or race are mostly informed about marriage for papers and will harbour the thoughts you’re with them for that purpose.

Broken family and single parentood is really not the best .... Some cases both parties tried and it really doesnt work out . ....but dropping seed just because of settlement . Chei

I know Nigeria can be hard so if anyone doesnt want to go back I can respect that . But to bring a child into it ,seems so unfair to that child

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.
