My young cousin sister just told me she got a visa to travel to Cairo and ‘work’ but I don’t trust this ‘work’ narrative.

The impression I have of these Arab cities ( Cairo, Dubai, etc) is that African girls are trafficked there to go and prostitute for their traffickers.

But people who have information about what happens in Cairo can tell me.

Do Nigerians genuinely work in Cairo or is my little cousin about to be a victim of traffickers?

Atarakpa:
i know of a someone who work there. And is fine and also the pay is good.

turawaa:
90% its gonna be house job work.

1- foods that you follow wife/wives ( depends on family size) prepared, you can't take from it , nah leftovers person go chop.
They are always fresh foods available in every home, so hunger is out of it

2- She won't leave the house except she is escorting her masters to market depends on car size or hilux, you go sit for boot with foodstuffs.

3- 80-90% of developing back-pain ( due to workloads)

4- All form of Domestic Abuses ( depending on the family size). You can have like 3-4 masters in the building.

5- She should be jovial with children and teaching them English. Tips go dey enter steady.

Finally for security reasons

1- not always your masters go knock before entering your room, always press recording on your phone, when you hear footsteps before the person open the door.

2- whenever you are tip by your visitors or master's husband, u need to have a recording and saved on email because your master can accuse you of stealing , within seconds police Don come and phone will be taken from you.

3- Your prayer point should always be on. Your agent and master.

izombie:
Also, i would suggest you show her this thread

Barteze:
Is she going for professional job? If not probably a domestic (house girl) if through a consultant.

topsam1:
It's mostly house help stuff they are doing there...they get them 3 months visit visa, travel through flight, then fix them with any family looking for maids....thereafter, get them the work permit (2 years) precisely....

That Is the most scenario.....but sometimes they get abused by their employers shaaa...

ELKHALIFAISIS:
you are stupid to mention Dubai in your post... Dubai is one of the best country where women right are protected I have live in Dubai for more than 15 years and I must tell you there's no single case of sex trafficking if you hear of sex trafficking just know it's your brother's that are inviting those girls from Nigeria to come and work for them as sex workers and police for long time has cramp down on them and deported all of them back to the shit hole they came from .... Dubai UAE is 200 times saver than America , that's why Europeans and Americans are coming every here and there to buy properties.. as for your sister going to Egypt, Egypt is far better than Nigeria in terms of respecting law and others , women has value there even Libya aks your sister how she got the visa is like one Benin boy won use am do sex worker she never tell you truth

chidex88:
Don't ever discourage her, Egypt is 100% safe and great.

If you do, you will regret it.

Try to link up and I will put you through.

I'm replying all these messages for the first time here in Nairaland because I see I can assist.

As long as it's Egypt, no shaking and no regrets.

If it's other Arab countries like, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi, Lebanon, Kuwait, etc. Then it's a no no because we even rescue some girls from those countries and bring them to Egypt for a good life.

Penguin2:
Relieved to hear something positive for the first time.

But is the person a graduate cuz this my cousin isn’t?

Penguin2:
Not professional job.

She’s neither a graduate nor does she have any skill per se.

Penguin2:
Thank you for some positive feedback, Chidex.

This has given some relief.

EngrEgghead:
My sister did too last year. I was skeptical at first, I thought it was a shady work but I later realized the work was genuine after all.

MiddleDimension:
The first question you need to ask yourself is: what is the GDP of the country she is intending to travel to? What is their GDP per capita? compare that to Nigeria's figures and see if there will be any opportunity for your cousin.

As far as I know, Egypt is not doing considerably better than Nigeria. Also bear in mind that the country, like many countries in Africa and the rest of the world, is a highly unequal society. This means even the GDP per capita will not show you how well-off the average citizen is. There is almost no skill your cousin has, that at least 100,000 Egyptians do not have. And then comes the language barrier.

The issue of being looked down upon due to who she is because of her race, is one I will advice you not to ignore. Yes, it is real, and it is in such a level, she truly feel bad to face.

The issue with racism there,...they do not have an idea that they are truly hurting you. Its the sense of it is not there veruly much. For example, they can call you a slave to your face! Ayan Hirsi Ali faced the same thing in Saudi Arabia.

Of course, not everyone does this, it would be ridiculous to think everyone in those countries is that mean. But like I said, the anti-black attitude is highest in thr Arab world than it is anywhere else in the world.

The reason the west has made so much progreas in race relations better than enywhere else is because of the constitution and the civil rights movement that took place in those lands. Elsewhere, it has never really been an issue so thise societies have not changed very much. This is why they can call you the arabic word for slave without any hint that they are hurting you in anyway.

When it comes to where black people feel safest to live and work, it is here in sub-saharan Africa followed by the collective west. Anywhere else, just know you will be at the bottom of the social pyramid.

Barteze:
Don't mind that guy ooh na them (agents). All those countries he mentioned enslave black girls in the name of domestic jobs why do you think Egypt will be different?
Avoid Arab countries except it for professional job.

franchasng:
That's a red flag.


If she can't provide those things, then it's probably a house help job which might lead to her being sexually abused or exploited. She won't see this picture now so make her understand it. Go to YouTube and get videos of African girls being abused by their masters in Arab countries.


Also let her understand that when Israel attacked Lebanon late last year, Lebanese people locked their African house helps and Nannies inside their apartments in high rise buildings and ran with their families leaving those African migrants working for them as domestic staffs stranded and exposed to death as Israeli bombs rained down their buildings. It was a horror to watch.



So warn her ahead and bring all these to her knowledge so that she won't claim to be ignorant tomorrow. Just do your best in enlightening her and leave the rest for her

masseratti:
which one is only in documents bro?Arabs, Indians Europeans are all Caucasians period.. nothing like documents there.

eepeepook:
I will not argue with someone who refuses to research his opinion first of all.

Penguin2:
You shouldn’t have called me stupid sir. I was just talking from the direct experience I had with a girl very close to me. Like you said, she too was deported.

But for my cousin, she said she got her visa from a woman who even has her daughters there too.

Atarakpa:
no she is not

Penguin2:
She’s not providing this information yet.

chidex88:
I haven't been following Nairaland threads but I have discovered that some people will be ignorantly speaking without real proof.

Why not look for a way to contact me and know who I am instead saying that I'm agent.

I'm living and working in Cairo for about 5 years. I married my wife here and she is also a Nigerian.

Here I repeat no Prostitution unless the person is a stupid lazy woman and prostitution can't even give you money here because this country is in the ratio of 10 girls to 1 boy. So na girls dey rush boys here. So no man is ready to spend when you have many on your DM inviting you.

Send me message on my email so you will know what I'm telling you, I'm still here not coming to Nigeria now.
