It is because you are a Nigerian that have made you to believe that one needs prayer before getting a job. You see my dear brother leave Nigeria for you to have sense.

Lmao, a foreign beautiful lady messaged me on Instagram last week after I commented on a dating page.

The lady sent a HI message and I replied HEY.

She replied “Never mind”, I asked her “why”
She responded “Are you a Nigerian”, I replied “yes a Proud NIGERIAN”.

I was expecting a response until her handle changed to “instgram user”, she blocked me already

Hi Nairalanders,

Last year I lost my Job as an AfterSales Analyst at a multinational company called AlFuttaim in the Peak of the Covid scare in Dubai, UAE. This is when it all began, Paying my rent became a problem, feeding became a problem. At that time the frustration in the country was everywhere due to the lock down and lot of Nigerians joined some illegal activisties in the UAE.

Unlike other nations Known to me, the desperation of Nigerians is quite on the high side so most delved into Yahoo-Yahoo. So it was so rampant and obvious in Dubai then and even now.
The difficulty was much and the lockdown was highly enforced, not giving room for any means of making ends meet.
At that time I had to return to Nigeria, I stayed with my sister’s husband because he was alone during the lockdown hoping to return back to the UAE when the opportunity rises again.
I had to start up a POS business with a 50k support from a family member, but due to the location of the business which is a developing environment, customers traffic was very low, sometimes I made 400 naira daily as profit though the ironic factor was that the closest ATM for cash refill was 600naira daily.
So the business couldn’t thrive. I had to start an analytic firm just to be employed but honestly so many factors I can’t explain here hinders infant industries in Nigeria.
Now in Dubai, Nigerians already have bad names in the communities and employers weren’t willing to considering Nigerians. Though I kept applying to different organizations in Nigeria and in Dubai like wise.
I really never understood the Nigerian market also, when I got some interviews but was turned down as a result of under employment. Three organizations made this clear to me during the interview. So at that time I had to wonder if being qualified for a job is now a curse.
I have had Nigerian HRs contacting me via my LinkedIn portfolio but never landed me any Job.

Now the highlight of the frustration is that, I just got a Job at Dubai with AWRostamani another multinational as a Senior Data Analyst in the internal Audit department, and I am to be paid 9000aed which is like 1.4million naira. Two days ago made it three weeks the HR confirmed the Job as mine instructing that I go to their company’s platform to update my details where she will process my e-employment letter & Visa which I did immediately.
But I never heard from them, I sent mails informing them that I had already created my profile but yet to see an employment letter, yet no response. So on Tuesday (a day before yesterday) I had to call them and this is when the HR told me they are having difficulties processing my employment visa since I am a Nigerian and there is an on going ban on visa processes on Nigerians (aside Tourist Visas). I called some of my friends Nigerians and non-Nigerians living in Dubai to ask if they know any possible way I could go through to get this sorted out, they said it’s impossible because they are very much aware about the Nigeria situation in Dubai.

I dint know when tears began running down my eyes and my mum crying with me because she knows how bad I need a change.

Please Nairalanders, I am a data Analyst with over 5 years experience. Can you please help me with an opportunity or if you know a place I could find an opportunity.

Same way being a Nigerian cost me a relationship that almost changed my life back then in 2019...

But I’m no longer concerned about that, because i’ve come to realize that we Nigerians are bad as it may seem, but there are countries far worse than we are. .

My only problem with Nigeria right now is the stupid tribalism amongst us while we are being rejected internationally by some moda-fxxckers whom our country is far richer than

Perfecttouchade:
The crimes those pakis and indians commit is crazy yet they are not in the talk ..even most of their girls dey do ashawo runs for Dubai..and some irritating things most stores or shop owners do in Dubai, once they see u are Nigerian, they start following and keeping an eye on u once u entere their stores as if u wan steal stuffs , even stores clearly states no vacancy for Nigerians o crazy gan, mehn we need to redeem our image in these foreign countries..and to think Nigerians are really investing in UAE.

there was one time a grocery store owner was following me back to back in Muwaillah while his assistant was watching the camera because I was with my cross bag and I needed to buy some stuffs, I didn’t even notice until I heard kalu Kali or something like that I knew it was associated with black so then I turned and saw the dude monitoring me I asked him if there was a problem he said you people too much harami I just started yelling at the man and cursing him making him understand not all of us are crook, it was a Sudanese woman that pleaded with me and started yelling at him with Arabic, she brought out a paper and started writing stuffs I didn’t bother to know what it was but she sounded so pained me I just jejely left and went to Al madina to get my stuffs
Our people no dey try for that side no doubts but if only they can see what those aforementioned nationales are doing in that country even when a Cameroon nationale steals he claims to be Nigerian so that’s part of the problem too

berbs:
Cult clashes? Interesting.

tyup:
If only Buhari and the fellow 36 governors of the federation could hear Nigerians cry and enact a law stating any Yahoo boy caught should be shot dead on spot or some of em summarily conscripted into the Army and sent to the war front, maybe things can start changing for the better amongst our Youth.

Oh I so miss Gen Sani Abacha, Allah rest his soul.

That's what you may see when you are a citizen of a country with failed government

Litmus:
You're either a lair or delusional if you think that Nigerians and not black people generally are ones closely monitored or trailed by security guards in shops in foreign nations. I guess Oprah Winfrey is Nigerian.

May all fraudsters killing opportunities for honest and hardworking Nigerians like this end miserably in life.

What a sad story to read.

When we tell people that the easiest way to gain sanity and recognition is to leave the zoo but many think it's lack of patriotism.

I owe my little daughter the debt of taking her out from here by all legal means I can

Its really sad Nigerians are only loved on Youtube
Reading about Nigeria on youtube will give you a goosebump but apart from that,its a very terrible country
Though i prefer to be born a Nigeria if i should come back to the world another time

Litmus:
So all those Nigerian nurses and doctors finding work abroad, including in Dubai , are not Nigerians ?

Why are there so many Nigerians from Nigeria in IT in the UK here?

Instead of blaming others for your problems, have you considered that perhaps your own personal flaws may be responsible for your ongoing unemployment difficulties?

tillaman:
did skip the part where I said a Sudanese woman intervened, because she knew what was going on and didn’t I say kalu is associated with the word black, it was just my own experience Being a black man
You can do better bruh
