At a point in time, We'd have no choice but to question this whole system, it's origin and purpose. How We are enslaved to it. What religion calls the devil.

When We do that, We'd see things clearly.

Dubaiguy:
I am sorry I haven’t created new videos for some time. I have been busy with work and daddy duties lol.

However, the deteriorating relations between Nigeria and UAE prompted me to make this video. It has never been this worse and it keeps getting critical every day. If we don’t address this issue faster, soon, average Nigerians won’t be able to visit UAE, not to mention getting jobs and staying there.

The Nigerians living in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and also other regions of the country would be targeted by the police and Arab citizens.

I have been in living in UAE for several years and I can authoritatively tell you that Nigeria has always been a good ally of UAE right from time. Nigerians come here to invest, buy goods, houses, for vacations etc. It was good business for everybody (We still do though).

We were also highly popular and respected for our football prowess. Ask any average Arab citizen on the road about Nigeria and he/she will mention our legendary footballers like Okocha, Kanu, Amokachi, Rashidi Yekini etc.

How did the problem start by the way? No it’s not the Nigerian government, the issue is largely due to the activities of unscrupulous Nigerians and other Africans in the UAE which has battered our reputation over time. Let’s look at some factors and instances.

2014 Nigerian Armed Robbery
This armed robbery carried out by Five Nigerians at an exchange bank in UAE signified the beginning of the end of Nigerians’ good standing with Dubai.

From my personal experience and research, the 2014 robbery incidence would be the first major armed robbery experience in UAE. The Nigerians carted away millions of dirhams but were caught and prosecuted.

The robbery incidence gained domestic and international exposure, and with it comes damaging problems for the Nigerian image. It was the first time the name Nigeria would start being known for crime in the UAE. It was so grave that around that time, UAE stopped issuing Visas to Nigerians.

Prostitution
Another prevailing issue destroying Nigeria’s image is the high rate of Nigerian ladies into prostitution in the state. We can’t blame these ladies entirely because some of them were trafficked and tricked by conmen who promised them jobs upon arrival.


However, they were met with the harsh realities of selling their bodies before they can even eat. Many also come unprepared and because they couldn’t get jobs and don’t want to face “embarrassment” at home, they go into prostitution.

The most disappointing thing is that they sell their bodies cheaply. When I came here, it was general knowledge that with at least 20 dirhams, you can sleep with African especially Nigerian prostitutes.

It would interest you to know that the first advice I was given by a Nigerian, a popular Nairalander when I landed in Dubai is to go into the prostitution business as a love-vendor. Lol, rent a house, bring girls from Nigeria, ensure they sleep in the house and pay me commission as returns on my investment. Very bad.. More about this in the video.

Public Fighting: Cultists taking their madness overseas, fight in clubs, on the streets etc., you know the drill.

Bad Work Ethics: Nigerians stealing money at work, committing other offences and giving their UAE employees a bad experience. This spoils the chances of other honest and hardworking Nigerians looking for jobs in the country. Now it is not uncommon to find UAE companies publicly stating that Nigerians are not allowed in their companies.

Hushpuppi: Won’t go into much details about this. Everybody heard the news. As it was popular over there in Nigeria, the story of Hushpuppi’s infamous lifestyle and grand arrest is also widely known here. More bad for Nigeria’s image. Tell a UAE citizen that you are from Nigeria and he/she will be like “oh Hushpuppi country.”

Foreigner’s Activities: Because Nigeria is now almost synonymous to crime in UAE, we have had experiences of other African nationals disguising as Nigerian citizens when they commit crimes. Recently there was a robbery incident, it was widely reported to be carried out by Nigerians.

It was later when the police carried out their investigations and caught the thieves that they realized that they were Cameroonians and not Nigerians. There are more cases like this, some of which I have personally experienced.

I don’t want this article to be too long to make it easier and faster to read, so I won’t be able to cover more than this here. However if you want to know more or planning to come to UAE soon, please watch the video. Liking and subscribing on my channel will go a long way too. Thanks.

What can we do to get out of this? Now many Nigerians are in UAE on a three month visa. Because of this prevailing issue, they would never get jobs, they will overstay their visa and most will become illegal.

I made some recommendations for the UAE Government at the end of the video. It will affect lots of people, but those are what I could think of.

The cycle continues and more headache for Nigeria and Nigerians living in Diaspora. What are your solutions?

You can check the source for more information and please don't send me a pm. Rather a comment on the video will be seen and addressed.

Thank you

The best Solution to stop this stupid crime committed by Nigerians living in UAE is that any Nigeria found for this hilarious crime e.g Robbery and cultists should be executed immediately and those Olosho should be deported immediately and more restrictions on visiting visa....Many of this bastard believed that after they have committed this barbaric atrocities the worst UAE govt will do to them is send them to jail they dont care about the image of the country and others good and hard working Nigerians they are putting into bad situations

Saifullah01:
I am not trying to sound tribal. But the igbos need to change their "get rich quick at all cost mentality" This is what is wrecking our image.

We have to tell ourselves the truth. The igbo elders and parents need to look at what has caused their moral compas to malfunction that their young ones go into drug trafficking, prostitution, cultism etc. without a blink of an eye, and even form cartels promoting these vices in foreign land.

Yet after wrecking their image abroad, they still go online to bad mouth their country. No be juju be that? destroying your own house, and also destroying the place that offered you safe harbour afterwards

Stop disguising, you're tribalistic and you know it. I cannot deny the fact that Igbos are involve in drugs related offences but the yorubas are equally involve in Internet scam aka Hushpuppi and the rest. The Hausas/Fulani have destroyed the system of governance because they dominate the Nigeria politics and terrorism. Look at all the federal minitries and massive looting occuring in the country. The Binis are also involve in prostitution, human trafficking, cult clashes and drugs too. No matter how you try to paint it, most Nigerians are crime infested and it's fact.

Do you all know that after reading this thread, no foreigner would want to deal with any Nigerian?

kramer:
The funny thing is that it's mostly Yoruba or Igbo ppl soiling Nigeria's name abroad, you'll hardly see any news where a northerner was arrested for smuggling drugs, prostitution or fraud. Abi I lie?

so abu mutalab d pant bomber is not a northerner

U no lie brother. Yoruba, Igbo & Edo boys don spoil our image for abroad. Edo guys own nai taya me pass. How on earth will someone have the opportunity to leave Nigeria, only for the person to go Italy dey go do aromate, and eiye confra. No b high level madness b that

The problem lies with Nigeria as a country. No matter how hard you may try to disagree, one thing is obvious. A people coming from Deep abject poverty will care very little about Moral and laws when they see any slight opportunity they may exploit to better their situation. People will do this with absolute disregard for what ever you may think is right and moral. Poverty caused by Failed country system, is at the ROOT cause of the problem.

God knows; if I were not a Nigerian I won't want to have anything to do with them. The first thought that comes to the mind of an average Nigerian when he first meet you is how to cheat or maim you for money. Imagine someone wud travel abroad and continue with cultism. I Don tire for una.

2014 Armed Robbery
if the robbers were caught and prosecuted and it is common knowledge that Nigerians in general did not encourage this heinous act, i see no reason why Nigerians in general should suffer for the acts of a foolish few

Prostitution
in my view this is a non-issue, i observed first hand myself whilst visiting the red light district in dubai that there are prostitutes of other nationalities in dubai, even in higher numbers. i do not encourage prostitution but if their law says it is legal then i do not think that is something that should affect us all as Nigerians

Bad work ethics
this is probably the only point you raised that i agree with, a large percentage of Nigerians both home and abroad have a very piss poor work ethic. if we are targetted on the basis of this, then i have nothing to add.

Hushpuppi
to the best of my knowledge, dubai is a place where a lot of stolen money goes to disappear, both stolen money from the coffers of politicians and otherwise. According to reports, Mr Hushpuppi enjoyed the protection of the local police force in dubai until it no longer was pragmatic for them to do so. and he has since been apprehended by the relevant authorities.

this is a non issue and should not affect us Nigerians in general.

in summary, this is just a case of stigmatizing and stereotyping and for me it just brings home why we must develop our own country and continent and be proud of our own selves. i do not condone acts that put us as Nigerians in bad light, however if these same acts were perpetrated by other nationalities of certain prosperous countries, the reaction would never be the same. double standards at best.

I have meet many white Europeans and Americans on artstation.com and we usually talks about job opportunities, migration or working remotely for 3D animation, gaming, movies and digital art companies.
It's always saddenes my heart that when they check my profile and discovers that I am from Nigeria some will not message me again why some will reluctantly answer my questions.
In my mind I have already knew what is going on but sincerely we have completely ruined the image of Nigeria both home and abroad.
It's a thing of big shame and National embarrassment that no national will want to associate or do business with Nigerians.

As far as we don't have good government, Nigerians 'll keep runing to abroad to fend for themselves ...
When parents failed to train their kids well, they grow to give them burden. That's exactly what we 're seeing today....
Op should be fair enough to tell us how the Dubai government carters for her citizens if we have such care here, crime would have not to have gotten to this level, both home n abroad .

Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn’t do
than by the ones you did do, so throw off the
bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream,
Discover. -- Mark Twain

[Bro are you in UAE? In which part are you?quote author=majamajic post=104301682]

Yes , sex is cheap in Dubai than Lagos . Uganda women collect less , they collect as cheap as 15 dirams , that's around 2k . But all Uganda women are mothers but Nigeria girls are still intact , that's the only difference . If u need cheaper u can go for Ethiopian girlfriend , with 2000 naira u can date Ethiopian girlfriend for 2 weeks with enough sex and free house cleaning chores [/quote]

Not before traveling out. They need reorientation. Finish

Balistic4:
absolving the government of the blames is actually not proper cause bad citizenship started from poor governance.

A case of "which came first, the egg or the chicken?"
Who responsible for Nigerians corruption - the citizens or the government?

I remember when academics were real deal in this country, people's mindset were mostly go to school, get good grades and get a job.

20th century mindset. In the 21st century, new economic system is to enable you create value and wealth and hence create jobs, and not to get grades to get a job.

How do you motivate a youth in the university to work hard and graduate with good grades when first class graduates are roaming about in the country with almost nothing to show for the burnt midnight candles?

A first class graduate roaming the country looking for job, means the knowledge and skills he acquired at the University is useless. There are millions of needs that is still left to be met and very few people to meet those needs. The first class graduate shouod study the lives of Alfred Nobel and Elon Musk.

All these crimes heightened due to bad governance, the people are to be blamed too but the government started it and they're fanning it.

Who are the government? Are they Martians or Siberians? Was it government that makes officials of your town union or development Association or even your street landlord association corrupt?

So the hundreds of thousands of nigerians and indians there are tourists?

Sincerely their is something devilish and diabolical about the name Nigeria, Lord Frederick Lugard should tell us where he and his olosho madam got the name from and safe us the craps River Naija Area bla bla bla...

Most of the problems still center around the kind of government we have and our over worship of money and material things syndromes. If the government provides an enabling environment in every capacity, three-quarter of people that are desperate to leave the jungle called Nigeria will stay back. Current happenings in Tokyo Olympics where over half of our athletes were banned due to government incompetence is a true reflection of how bad we are as a country.

The world Niger Is derived from the world negro it (nigger)is the racial version of negro...And used as a derogatory term referring to a black slave in plantations. When they (explorers) first saw the river Niger they called it the black River and the word negro means black. So Dy called it river Niger. When the British took control of Nigeria. Lord's lugard wife called it nigeria meaning nigger area a place inhabited by black people/slave. So the name Nigeria no good. If say Dem call negroland or negroia e for better but the word nigger with a single g or double g is a racial slur truth be told

Is Nigeria the poorest country in the world?

When did deep abject poverty start Nigeria?
Was it in the 60s when we just gained independence? Was it in the 70s when General Gowan declared that Nigeria's problem was not money but how to spend it? Or was it in the 90s when $16 billion Gulf war oil windfall was no where to be found.

Poverty was never the root cause of Nigeria's problems and certainly not the root cause of our moral decay and decadence.

MARKone:


That is why this problem being discussed won't go away anytime soon with idiots like you. The Nigeria prostitution, human trafficking and Mafia rings in Italy and Libya, which section of this country runs it. The rising insecurity, banditry and kidnapping which has nearly brought to a naught tourist attractions and foreign direct investment into the country...which section of the country is incharge of that? You open your mouth like a brain dead cock sucker, to say nonsense, that the Igbos and Yorubas are the ones soiling the image of the country. In the eyes of the man you were so graciously licking his balls, you are a Nigerian and part of their problem period!

Yada yada yada

You're likely a sore igboe butthurt that I'm calling you fukkers out.

We're talking about Nigerians abroad you're mouthing off about banditry. As if you don't have unknown gunmen and kidnappers terrorizing you fukks and beheading people almost daily.

Your dreaded neck of the woods is a major shithole in every way, and any time any crook is busted out there 9 times out of 10 it's an igboe.

You're known internationally for being career crooks.

So your tepid rage here is simply the ranting of a sore fukker that I'll happily be amused by, Chinedu.

After the recent (June 2021)cultists bloodbath somewhere in UAE, police issued a public alert with a contact number for people to report about African criminals houses.
On friday 25th June, Police raided a building housing many Nigerians and other Africans at 2am.
A family of mine, a single mom who is a dedicated Kindergarten teacher was among the Nigerians in the house.
5wks after, nothing has been heard from her and others.
She had quickly sent me a WhatsApp messenger during the raid and that's how I knew what happened.
The Ugandans who were involved has been deported empty handed and that's likely the fate of the Nigerians unless by a stroke of miracle some of them gets freed.
That woman have 6 children to raise alone as her wayward husband lost his oil company job here, returned to Nigeria and abandoned her and their children since 2016.
This is plight of decent Nigerians imposed on them by the wicked wayward Nigerians who should never have left Nigeria in the 1st place.

I don't blame the government at times, what of the people

Checked to balance,it still boils down to govt,not giving us the opportunity to strive,bad economy policies etc leads to all this

tolexy123:
90% Nigerians in UAE are with sinister plots

With what survey?

NOETHNICITY:
Bro, not poverty, na moral bankruptcy

I no understand o. Na poverty of bad governance de make Nigerians misbehave for abroad? I really don't understand.

What you have said op is not only the case in UAE, it is the same everywhere. The most hated specie of black in the world is a Nigerian. Other blacks - Carribean, African, African-American hate us, we Nigerians even hate ourselves. This is why when those at home blame the people in Government, it is just buck passing. Nigerians are their own problem. We like to live big and loud even better than citizens of the country we migrate to. When we arrive, we look for fellow Nigerians to 'parapo' with. Unfortunately those we do so with teach us the unacceptable, misconceived and 'hateable' way of life. So if you re coming abroad Red flags to look out for include: when they will not come pick you up personally at the airport, when they will not give you their address, rather they meet you at a public place; when the so called Nigerian brother/sister has a big house or fancy car and you cannot point to any visible job or business he/she is into. When he or she cannot point you to the correct site and proper way of doing things in the foreign country; when he or she asks you to bring money or render a 'homage' service FIRST before offering any service/help whatsoever to you. When he or she offers to help you generate 'oluwole' documents just to have you strapped to them, when he or she's support group is 90 percent Nigerian etc these are all flags. You see, a significant proportion of Nigerians who live abroad are not straight and this is why they avoid the radar. Anything that calls for their scrutiny, you will get thrown under the bus sharp sharp.
When a Nigerian comes abroad, the best thing for him or her is to minimize or avoid Nigerians especially shady ones.
Out here, there is a way things work and the critical first step is to earn trust of locals/citizens not Naturalized Nigerians. Your host country wants you and there are many ways to succeed, the major determinant is patience, paying your dues as a newcomer and modesty. A lot of Nigerians arrive, mix up with their fake ostentatious living brothers and sisters out here and assume that is the way things truly are. That is indeed far from the truth. This belief will only get you hated by all.
You see a Nigerian not wanting to associate with Nigerians, believe me, there is a bitter experience behind it
