Mikelcole: It seems more revelations are comig forth since Australian negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davies accused some prominent Nigerians of funding the terror group Boko Haram.
The Australian had accused former Borno Governor, Modu Sheriff and the immediate past Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika as Boko Haram sponsors.
Well a new name has been added to the suspect funders list, and that is Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima.
This piece of information was made available through a report by Magazine, “Power Steering,” it said Governor Shettima is behind the killing of late Alhaji Awana Ngala, former ANPP chairman in Borno State and Engr. Modu Fannami Gubio, the gubernatorial candidate of the ANPP.

It is said that Engr. Modu Fannami Gubio was expected to succeed Modu Sheriff in the 2011 general election but was killed one week before his appointment.
Power Steeering reveals that they had a secret conversation with one Mustapha Kolo, who is a detained Boko Haram member.

Kolo goes on to reveal to the publication that there exists a relationship between the sect and the Borno State governor right from his time as a commissioner.

Kolo went further and added that Shettima himself has been funding the sect and even had meetings with Boko Haram leaders to discuss further assasination of some prominent Borno citizens and politicians, who did not share his own political ideas.

In Kolo’s words:“When he (Shettima) was Commissioner, he used to give us plenty money.
He even gave us money to kill Fannami Gubio, so he can become governor, but he did not complete his payment; we were following him, he didn’t give us again”.He said.
Boko Haram has been a troublesome disease in Nigeria’s Northeast since 2009.
They have bombed schools and places of worship and killed over 5000 Nigerian including kidnappings also.
Australian Negotiator, Mr Davies had made news recently when he revealed he managed to talk to the sect leaders and found out who funded them

I am not a fan of the present Governor or the past one. But I can categorically say the past one is the one who brought these guys....

I heard this a lont time ago and I actually agree wit whoever said it. "One of the biggest problem we have in the fight against terrorism is the media"
I have seen what these guys have done and what they are capable off. We keep reading this on the news, but believe me, it is even bigger than what we read about. If you want to have an idea of what is happening in the north, please go and watch " Hotel Rwanda" and "Sometimes in April".... I weep for my state and I weep for my dear country.

MsNas: 11. The dirty mechanic that will wear his oily, grease-stained and filthy workshop clothes. Enters the bus and sits beside you like that. God help you if you're putting on white clothing, you will nearly enter the body of the next person beside you in a bid to avoid contact with them. The most annoying part is that they will feign ignorance and sit as comfortable as ever.

12. The one that will buy boiled eggs, gala, Lacasera, pure water and so on eat all through the journey. They will chew like locomotive engines when they eat their bounty and if you're lucky they might even throw grenades (Farts)

13. The fat woman that is supposed to pay for two seats but will pay for one and you will be squeezed like tuna in a can.

14. The newspaper borrower

No liberty nor right as the name implies LABOUR VISA

True talk my brother. I'm currently on one of those contracts. I work my ass off. I never knew all these before coming. I still dey regret till today. 9hrs/day, 6days/week... But it is well... @kelvin4jesu, I'd love to hook up with U someday soon, over a cup of tea. Make we relate small... Hope U no mind *no homo*..

kelvin4jesu: I once met a guy he took me to umm al quwain where he was dump and camp by those Nigerians wicked agents at the expiration of his visa he was taken back to naija before he blocks card.
umm al quwain is the camping ground of those wicked agents and it is never possible to work in dubai from umm al quwain, is a two different states in uae,let no one decieve you. and umm al quwain is a dry zone,
there is a lady called Aunty rose (a Nigerian) she is a deadly wicked umm al quwain based visa agent she has swindled and ruined a lot of Nigerians

I live in Umm Al Quwain, so I can testify to this. I have seen quite a few. Not just Nigerians, even Camerounians. Chai, Dia ris God oh for these agents... Nice one @kelvin4jesu

frostmate: Hello not actually answer your question. From ya post I can see you stay in umm Al quwain, what is rent like over there.... is it possible to live in umm Al quwain and work in Dubai or Ajman that is driving down to Dubai/Ajman every day for work?

I also direct question to other forumites

Yeah I stay in Umm Al Quwain. This is the cheapest city to live in, as far as UAE is concerned. You can drive from here to Ajman or Dubai. From here to Dubai is about 50km. If you think am, it is still worth it, since fuel is cheap and the roads are good, no traffic either, except when you get to Dubai... I will advise U to get a place here in Umm Al Quwain... Somewhere around Sheikh Villa, it's much cheaper...

Idrismusty97: Wow!!! Bravest man in earth!

Wow, this one na T Bag from Prison Break oh... lol....... People get mind sha.

kelvin4jesu: Freelancing is a work option for many in the UAE. Increasingly many
companies are looking to hire freelance workers in various fields
such as programmers, web developers, designers, writers, data
entry staff and more at a fraction of the cost when compared to full-
time employees.
Though freelancing seems a viable and an attractive way to work for
many in the country, there are employees who are not sure about
the rules that should govern their scope of work.
Nabbesh, an exclusive website for freelancers in the country has
come up with its list of top rules that a freelancer should remember.
“At Nabbesh we’ve been hearing many questions lately from our
community members regarding the rules of setting-up as a
freelancer in the UAE, and we have been listening to you!
“Many of our community members in the UAE are expats who want
to earn extra cash, but at the same time, want to make certain they
are doing it legally! Our Nabbesh community of nearly 30,000 come
from many different backgrounds in the freelancing world, and
although there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for everyone, we have
compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked questions to
give you insights into the UAE’s rules on freelancing,” said a
spokesperson of the website.
Here are the top ten rules complied by the website.
1. May I legally freelance in the UAE?
Yes, you may freelance in the UAE! However, it is important to
distinguish between part-time work and freelancing. Freelancing is
working for yourself, where you are essentially a company made up
of one person, which is perfectly legal as long as you are licensed to
do so.
2. So, I need a licence?
Yes you do! You will need to secure a Trade Licence pertaining to
your business activity from your selected Licensing Authority, and
adhere to their stipulations.
3. What kind of licence do I need?
The kind of licence you need depends on the nature of the business
you are looking to conduct.
There are two main ways of setting-up a business in Dubai and
different licence options for both, which a business setup specialist
can explain in detail. The first is through the Dubai Department of
Economic Development and the second is through one of the many
Free Zones (e.g., Fujairah).
a) Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED) Business
Setup
The main licence types in the DED are:
1. Commercial (51 per cent Emirati-owned; 49 per cent foreign-
owned), and;
2. Services/Professional/Consultancy (100 per cent expat-owned
with a local Emirati service agent).
b. Free Zone (FZ) Business Setup
For the free zones, both of the above licence options apply, but the
main differences are 1. an Emirati partner is not required, and 2. FZ
businesses are 100 per cent expat owned.
4. What are other benefits of setting-up through a Free Zone?
The general benefits of setting-up through a FZ are that companies
can remain 100 per cent foreign-owned and benefit from being “tax
free” for 50 years, according to Article 15 of Law No. 1 of 2000 of
the Emirate of Dubai.
Visas
5. If I’m not a resident, may I obtain a residency visa through one of
these licence options?
Yes, you may!
6. May I freelance if I’m on my husband’s visa?
Yes, you may! You would first need to obtain a No Objection
Certificate (NOC) from your husband as well as a labour card issued
from the licensing authority/immigration office of the Emirate where
the freelance company has been registered.
7. I’m working full-time but I’m interested in turning my hobby into
a business. May I obtain a licence even if I’m sponsored by my
employer?
Yes, you may! Most (not all) licensing authorities would request
you to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer
in order for you to start your own freelancer company.
8. How long will it take to get a freelance licence and setup my
business?
On average the process can take anywhere from one week to ten
days.
9. Do I need to rent office space?
The majority of licensing authorities do require you to have some
sort of office space within their jurisdiction, be it something minimal
like a flexi-desk or a smart office, which is often already built into
the price of the company setup package offered. These packages
are typically catered to fit the needs of freelancers like yourselves.
Some licensing authorities are even able to provide you with a Trade
License without taking office space of any sort. However, under this
option you wouldn’t be able to secure any residency visas on the
company, so this option is best suited to a freelancer who already
has a residency visa be it through their spouse, parent or current
employer.
10. Do I have to get a freelance licence through a business setup
specialist or can I do it myself?
You certainly can do it yourself, however most of our community
members have testified that using a business setup specialist was a
wiser, more sensible and efficient option, as setting up a company
in the UAE can be a very time consuming and draining process.
There are so many facets to consider when setting up a new
business in the UAE, like obtaining your trade licence, applying for
your visa, getting business cards printed and setting up your bank
account. The business setup specialist takes care of all the admin,
allowing you to focus your attention on developing and growing
your business.

Thanks for the info bro. I appreciate it.

Hello Y'all... This is a question for those who have been in the UAE for sometime. I'd like to know if any one has any info on freelancing permit. I'd like to start doing some small business on my own here added to the one I already have going on in Nigeria. Any info will be appreciated.

bukarbi: thank you bro. He said he is sure of it and he even told me to get a family here to do the verification for me, but after checking into it the 5000aed mem it is a huge money bro, so i decide to stay back.
But i dont know if it posible for me to come over and search for job in person, please how easy it is bro.

That is possible, many guys do that. You can get a visit visa and come over to search. You can then hook up with ur so called friend and go to the company together to confirm all the stories he has been telling you. Before you consider taking this option, try to consider the cost. Via, flight, hotel and other little expenses. Always remember this, this is not a place to come and do german german oh! The energy you will spend in doing that in the UAE, go to Computer village in Lagos and apply jst 50% of that energy nd U will make it better than majority of Naija guys here. You can always contact me for more tips. In the mean time "DON'T PAY MONEY TO ANYONE FOR A JOB OH!!!"
I have seen genuine guys but I will never recommend anyone to them.

Most of una wey dey criticize the guy, una don listen to "Shake Body"? Well to me the guy is trying...

bukarbi: Please guys i need your help.
I have a friend in Dubai who said he had help me get a job and i need to pay 5000aed for my visa and the company will refund to me 3570aed on my return. So he asked me to send the 5000aed. And it will all cover my Transportations and Acomodations troughout my stay. But food on my own.
That i should send the money and my PP for documents preparation. What should i do guys please help me ooo.

Lemme add my own little contribution. I have met a couple of guys here who came with this same method that ur friend is using for you(I'm not one sha). For some it worked out quite well, for others it didnt, it all depends on who you are dealing with. Some companies would require you to foot the bill for ur visa and then you get refunded back the money you spent. But mind you they only pay you back for the visa nd not ur air ticket. They also provide u with accommodation (it might be face me I face U oh! But not like Naija sha). On the second hand, it might be a scam. If U ave the money to spend, get a visit visa, come over to see the place, then go back nd allow them work ur work visa... But for the main time, ask the the guy to give you some details about the company, tell him a family member wants to go and check it out before releasing the money to him. Ask for the company details, Address, Phone number, what they are into, the exact job you'll be doing.

Before coming here, have this at the back of ur mind, UAE is much more different from what you have been hearing back home. It's a really difficult place to live. Standard of living is high. Work conditions are harsh. If you don't have patience, you have no business being in this country. If you think Indians and other Nationals are riding you in Nigeria, then be ready for X10 of that treatment here. If you have that AED5000 at hand, then please go and start a business not matter how small. ..
