monchouchou: My good people, sorry for the delay. I have finally gotten a job that is just wonderful. It is close to my house, the salary and salary prospects are very good and it is in my profession which is something I had altogether given up on. I was initially to resume work tomorrow bt due to their relocation I will probably be resuming early January. I am just too happy. I want to thank you all for your prayers especially Ogakpatakpata who really helped me with prayers and words of encouragement, my sister Justi who kept sending me mails and encouraging me, Henrimoto my sugar pie who kept checking up in me and Namqui for his continuos prayers. Also every other forumites who kept praying ans supporting me I pray that joy will never leave your lives. As for those still job searching I pray that so you will rejoice even more than I have!

yemterry: Please how can I get a cheap accomodation and I don't want to stay with more than 2 or 3 people in a room,can't my one month visa be extended ni with anoda 1 month.

hmmmmm.......

@mouchou dearie I dey dia o, am also waiting for the good news to share.all will be well

@justi mi fine girlzz gbogbo bigz girl no pimples tanx for d walk in interview

ogakpatakpata: @ola30................thank you for your explanation; when you arrive l will take you to the palace in Dubai where l entertain special guest, you will have amala,ewedu ,okro, fresh fish, palmwine, ogbono, egusi, grass cutter , bush meat of all types, l use this medium to give you a special invitation.

ogakpatakpata: @ken1982.....................to add to what henrimoto said, the condition you are giving here is not feasible, you have to arrive Dubai first to be able to determine the kind of location,area and apartment you want, it is not something you sit over your keyboard and decide, besides, what we try to do here is to give an idea of what to expect on arrival.


Again,even the brown envelop been suggested in the forum has been twisted and over flogged, you can get a job without paying a dime, everybody knows that, but, for the past 6 months all the vacancies we have posted here nobody got a single offer from it, even the latest arrivees all paid to secure an offer, it is funny for somebody to say he/she doesn't know it exist, while it is glaring in our eyes that, that is the trend/pattern now in Dubai, the brown envelop is not restricted to security,housekeeping and other low payed jobs.It is better to be prepared for the un-expected scenerio that might pop up in your job search because you cannot predict the direction the pendulum might swing to.


Moreover, my kid brother working here got a supervisory position from Nigeria, and l have seen countless numbers of guys who secured jobs as call centre agents, customer care executives and some secured jobs as safety officers, some in oil/gas etc, everything depends on favour or if you like you call it mother luck, the fact that MR A or MRS A arrived the UAE and couldn't find a job does not mean same will apply to MR B or MRS B, everything depends on favour or if you like you call it mother luck.(PPPN) prayer,preparation,play your cards well + networking seems to be key to success or securing a job in the UAE


Furthermore, everything we advise or suggest here is based on the reality on ground, those who have ears should either listen or do whatever suits them,but, l know when they arrive they will recall/remember every information/suggestions we have proffered here, and for those that are calling me offline to ask if they should come with money or not, honestly, l have given my 2cent, is really up to you, if you dont do all we have suggested in this forum, l am afraid 2months might fizzle out without success, l am not sounding too harsh here,but, is like some people dont know that the UAE has changed big time, even those who schooled here in the UAE with excellent certificates are finding it hard to get a job.


Finally, l will suggest that all those heading to the UAE should call friends/family members and ask them about the current situation in the UAE, compare/contrast with all we have said here, then make your decision.Goodluck.



Notice: A big kudos and congrats to yinkagbo and optimisticgondy's siblings who followed diligently and did all we suggested here, and it paid off big time for four of them, because they all secured jobs in the UAE.

monchouchou: @Ogakpatakpata, thanks. Truly truly it will be
amazing to have such a network. Like you said earlier, the Filipinos,
Indians and Pakistanis act like a cult. I have an Indian friend who told
me openly that she would ask around and see what she can come up with.
Truly amazing. Nigerians are known to be hustlers and hard workers so if
they can do it, we can do it much better. But great and serious steps
will have to be taken to ensure that the network is not abused. There
are many Nigerians in top positions here in Dubai who can be of help but
they will only come out to assist the network if they are sure that
their goodwill will not be abused. I applaud your initiative and I hope
Imcan help in future but for now, let me go and join @ Finecheek in the
job market

ogakpatakpata: @ola30...........................you are really in the Spirit; thanks for the addition, l can see you are hiding behind the palace drinking from the fountain of wisdom coming from the royal kingdom, that is very smart of you, it means you will arrive the UAE with a wisdom bag like Optimisticgondy and his siblings did and it paid off for them, but, sometimes we tend to pray,pray and pray and forget the part of preparation and doing the needful.......hope your day went well

ogakpatakpata: @Optimisticgondy................... your apologies accepted;congratulations to all your siblings, l salute your courage and all the efforts you put in to ensure their success ,even, before they arrived, you where in constant communication with me and am glad all our collective efforts was not in vain, like l told your sister jokingly in Nigeria, l will visit Ekiti State some day to come and eat pounded yam and ewedu soup..lol.........your siblings testimony, valentony and yinkagbo has really proved that our efforts in this kingdom was not in vain.

Furthermore, funny enough, despite all the vacancies we posted here, from my careful observations,nobody,actually got a job from this thread in the last 6months, it means like l said before proper networking,preparations and playing your cards well seems to be the key to secure a job in the UAE.
. once again, congratulations...

ogakpatakpata: @ola30.................Very hard to say, and it is not an open issue, although, it is illegal in the UAE,but, it is happening big time, your middle man/ link to the job will determine how much grease will come from you, mind you, NO HR will come out openly to ask for bribe.l must be very sincere with you, we have fake agents and the same time we have genuine ones, the question is how do you know the real ones?

The fact that you are been told to grease or settle for jobs doesn't mean you don't believe in God, if you have friends in Dubai, call them and hear from them, that is the pattern and trend now. finecheek can also testify to this issue and l am sure if she has enough money, she should have secured a job by now, it is better you have it at the back of your mind, when you arrive, you will see all that l have shared here, some people arrive and they are left with 1000dhs and they get a good link for job and they are been asked to pay 2,500dhs or more, how will they deal with that.

My friend, l will tell you the gospel truth, you are free to believe whatever you want to, it is really up to you. Jammyng one of our forumites who was banned recently was also in a similar predicament, at a point he got a job but he didnt have enough cash to pay before he left for Nigeria.

Optimisticgondy's family members that arrived Dubai also paid according to him before 3 of them got jobs, does it mean they don't believe in God?or they didnt put God first?......question for you to answer.

The UAE has changed big time and if you dont play your card very well and do the right things, you might arrive here and 2months will just fizzle out without a job. My final advise is for you to call your friends in Dubai and hear from them.Anybody can give advise here,but, you have to read carefully and know the best steps to take.

Finally, are you not surprised that all the jobs we post here daily, NOBODY as far as l can recall for the last 4 or 5 months got any jobs from the forum, that should send a signal to you.There are jobs in the UAE, but, you have to play your cards very well, 2 of our forumites have left for Nigeria, l recall what both of them told me before they departed for Lagos, they where full of regrets for not arriving with enough money, they told me all the places they went for jobs, they where asked to pay various sums of money and they couldn't afford it, for privacy sake, i will not like to mention their names if not they could have shared their stories for all to read.

They where always calling me all through the 2 months they stayed in Dubai, l met them one on one in deira, and even when they where departing , they also called me. l am talking from what l see here in Dubai.Enjoy your day!!

ogakpatakpata: @ken1982...............................l hope you have been able to achieve a mental basis for your trip, the summary of the whole sermon is you must come with enough money; in my personal opinion, after your visa and ticket has been sorted out, make sure you arrive the UAE with a minimum of $2000, anybody telling you otherwise is not helping you, l am really tired of seeing our forumites suffering after few days in Dubai and funny enough they also ask some of this questions you have asked and they still arrive with between $100 to $500 which can disappear within days and some of us here you see giving advises here will not even near such members when they are stranded.l try not to ignore our forumites when they arrive and are stranded, l always try to chip in my widows mite and in some cases call and give them moral support, some of them reading this write-up can testify to that.


Furthermore ,it is easy to give advise in a faceless forum,but, when the chips are down and some members are calling for help in Dubai, trust me, only FEW OF US WITH CONSCIENCE SURFACE TO GIVE OUR WIDOWS MITE. My apologies if l sounded a bit hard on you, l only want the best for you, not just advising you but meeting you physically if possible on arrival to help in whatever capacity l can. That is the essence of life.
