***sets up camp***

Congrats to you Seun. I was quite happy to see this about you online. You have always been passionate with anything you decide to go into. All the best

Huh?
***spreads mat***

Bro I get the impression you didn't quite get me - just asking for your success tips. That's gonna be some inspiration for us.. If am not wrong that's the purpose of the thread to help ourselves. I also imagine you got a reliable agent who'd perhaps be willing to help at a cost. But that aside what can we do to have a success story like you? Am asking just the same way you expect the other guy to share his misfortune with us.. DrDre we just here to learn bro - hope you feel me bro smiley

I got you clearly sir but my hands are tied as I can't tell you certain parts of my own story. The obvious truth is that coming to Qatar isn't really a do-it-yourself thing like the case of UAE. Talking about agents is not allowed on this thread and I choose to interact with people (to a very large extent) here only. You can read back on the thread if you have the time and serious about it. You can also click on my username to view some details I have shared in the past on Qatar. All the best sir

@Okezie007
Ermm...apologies I can't do what you seem to be asking me to do sir

cantona2015:
I was once a victim of arranged employment in doha Qatar, I had a visa with electrician on it as my job when I don't know anything about such , I search for job endlessly in Qatar before I navigate myself outta the desert , does same also happen in dubai

I would like to hear the details of your story if you don't mind sharing sir. Virtually everyone comes here with a work visa that specifies a job description they know nothing about. It's possible to stay here for a while without securing a job but were you promised to actually work with the company that processed your work visa?

Teeboy22:
brother man..... I greet oooo




Respect

Greetings sir. How's your end?

okezie007:
DrDre you sound like your based in Qatar - can you enligthen me about job opps over there?? I learnt that its possible to get a job only if an agent in 9ja recommends you, how true is that bro

Hmm...that's not completely true. What you will get from the agent is a visa. Although it's a work visa, you won't actually be working with that company when you get here. You will have to find another one yourself. This issue as been addressed severally on this thread so you can take the pain to read back

fohiss:
Dr dre please I have a Qatar coin 50 dirhams is written in it ...how much is it ...? Got it wen I stop at Qatar going to Dubai so I just bought somethings nd dey gave me change of 50 dirhams coin

This is a joke, right?

@emamos' post

cantona2015:
Arakunrin, use the same method to know how much dollar is exchanged this morning , and let me know where start convincing you that 1 Diram is not 54 naira as you said

I'm speaking from the angle of sending money to Nigeria sir. I don't know what is obtainable over there in the UAE but if I walked into any Xpressmoney office this moment with Dihrams, that's the naira equivalent I'd get. Same goes for Qatar riyals.
Dollar was 313 when I checked earlier this morning. The rates are heading north again now though

saheedo40:
Hello my good pple if u need anything about dubai u can ask me or call 08134368869

Seriously? They should ask or call you and you posted a Nigerian phone number. Just wait...magic will soon happen

justi4jesu:
Sure its for business. Yes I meant every word i said there.

Okay, so I give you 1 naira and you give me 60 dihrams?

justi4jesu:
I mean cashing out Dirhams oh and not sending, I can gladly send 60 Dirhams to #1 incase you or anybody wants.

I suspected you didn't get the point I was trying to make. Why would I want to cash out dirhams if I live in the UAE...well maybe for business reasons probably. The point is that for someone sending money to Nigeria, the crash is very sudden. If you promised someone in Nigeria 50k naira in Nigeria earlier this morning with the plan that less than 600 dihrams would take of it on your own end, you suddenly find yourself having to shell out almost a thousand to cover for the same amount within a space of 1 hour.

As for the offer you just made, do you really mean 60 dihrams to 1 naira?

justi4jesu:
Is it from express money you will cash out the dirhams ni.

I can send from here directly into a Nigerian bank account with Xpressmoney. The rates on their website is usually the exact thing they charge when I go to the outlet to do the transfer.

I have checked other websites too just to be sure I'm not the one on Mars

justi4jesu:
Please come back from Mars.

Which 1 Dirhams = 54 Naira

Something that is presently 90 Naira that's if you even see the Dirhams.

LOL...madam Justi, seriously, have you checked the exchange rates this morning? Maybe I've been kidnapped by aliens...but I'm actually in my office I use xpressmoney. Which website/currency converter do you use?

Whatever 'magic' that happened within a space of 1 hour to the strength of the Naira is still a surprise.
1 Dirham is now 54 naira.
1 Qatar Riyals now 55 naira from around 87 Naira

That said, it's obvious that Nigeria can actually work if we can get our acts together.

nattybanta:
Lol. Its well. Sometimes I enjoy Nigerian news.

I wish I can say the same for myself. A case in point...how do you want me to enjoy waking up in the morning, log into Nairaland and see the news that Ali-Modu Sheriff is now PDP chairman? Not enjoyable at all

nattybanta:
hahahahha same her for d dirham abt 78 naira. It's gonna b well maybe wen the find the missing budget. Abi u carry am enter Qatar? Hehehehehhehe.

I didn't even know the budget was missing at that time. I sometimes try to avoid reading Nigerian news so I had no hand in the missing budget

nattybanta:
been a longwhile bro. How's life and Qatar, any changes regarding entry into Qatar?

Yes sir. Noting much as changed about that...only the cost that keeps defying the law of gravity. The one for Nigerian females has become completely ridiculous especially in this era of 70 naira to 1 riyal

Happy New Year everyone.
Wish you all a blessed year

michaelcu:

Happy Eid to everyone

*peep*

smithsydny:
broda plz if u have any jst link us. Dats y we asked. Thnks man

I believe u are new here sir. Ur posts 'sounded' like there was a specific part/website u needed help with. That was why I asked what u needed help with. That said, u can read back on my posts to get the information u need on how to go about it.

BrTune:
Has anyone been able to exchange naira for qatari rials in qatar before? If Yes, Where.

And is there anyway I can request my bank to Increase my spending limit?

Buy an envelope and keep the naira notes inside.

smithsydny:
health nd safety

I know it's health and safety. Be more specific... website link precisely

hustla:

Can Primavera be used in IT?

Been following this thread for some time and I am enroute a career path in IT with a deviation from Mass Communication, so i can take up IT jobs as well as customer service related jobs (was with Airtel Customer Care before leaving to take up courses in IT in India)
That being said , I i think you did mention the ease of getting jobs in IT and or Customer service (although I think having a good knowledge of Arabic would be an advantage); kindly expatiate on that

Kindly expatiate

Yes and no. Yes in a general sense of what the software can be used for in themes of software development or other I.T stuffs like that. No because in these parts, the demand is more related to the construction industry. As for the IT/customer service job part of ur post, I think u are mixing my comments up with comments by people based in the U.A.E

samhay:
Anybody taking the safety course online or u av some knowledge abt it should plz signify I gat some questions

smithsydny:
am tryin to run dat online course even bt dnt knw hw to go abt it.

Which online safety courses are u trying to get help for sirs?

Taiwotasungo:
Hello bro are you saying the heat there high pass Kano?

Funny you asked the same thing. My brother said exactly the same thing until he arrived about a week ago. He knows better now
Visit some deep parts of the north east to have an idea of the heat here

ugsams:
I don't have anything mid/high yet, but i'm optimistic i will. work has been mean just as its name implies... lol. The weather isn't friendly at all. However, on the fall of oil price this people seems to have a shield against that and thrives more than every other region as they are still acquiring new rigs, recruiting and expanding. I believe Qatar will be similar. How is life at your end?

Wish U the very best with the status thing. As for the weather, thank GOD the humidity levels are dropping gradually. I understand ur point on work. I was telling my cousin just yesterday how I felt about my current job. Some jobs would make u feel like u have been kidnapped. The rich gulf nations are not really feeling the heat. They've saved billions over the years to absorb these kind of plunge for quite a long time. Wish we could say the same for Nigeria . Life is ok... always pushing for better deals out there as u know

elijahdre:
JUST LANDED
5PCS LENOVO K3 NOTE
1PCS CHUWI VI 10 64GIG for Dr dre1

Thanks sir. Can't wait to lay me hands on that device...it's been a long time coming

x3da:
Hi Dre how much eventually did u get the chuwi vi10 64gb + keyboard from elijahdre, cos i see urs has arrived

Yes sir. I planned to update you once I had it in my hands. I eventually got it for 54k but I bought a lot of other things along with it from him. I'm not sure the price will apply if you are just purchasing that one item from him. That said, even he confesses that the tablet is a perfect choice. He's been speaking so highly of it since he got it in his hands eventhough he tried to convince me to buy something else from the start

elijahdre:
Not that sir o

Hahahahaha...oga Elijahdre...no ojoro o
You said 1500 per order
