As for living 5 or more in a room....that one is nothing.....some of us experience that in our university.....in my school hostel,the school authority will allocate 3 people in a room,and the students has this idea of" squating" for those who know what squating is...(Squating is puting extra person in ur room and collect half or part of the money u paid for the room). So the 3 people that the school management put in a room will now have to squat 1 person each,making it 6 in that room and they all will still live happily in that same room.....I experience that....during my schl days,I use my own squating money to buy myself a very good laptop and a better phone at once......mind u,my schl has wireless. U will log in with ur reg number,meaning those that has paid their schl fees. Guys be braved and hustle @ the end.....u will smile.........just be sending ur money back home and invest it wisely.........if u bring ur savings back to naija...with the exchange rate.....guy u re a big man.......plan well. U will make it in dubai

Na. Wa o

It is well o!

@CruzClinton1, I c u. Let some people continue wailing and beg for 100naira everyweekwnd to watch EPL and LALIGA. Some rely on betting, yet dey talk like it's every1 here Dat live Dat kind of life.

cruzclinton1:
Make all of u here cap less.....I say fem all of you...... Without any cert. U can get a mini work in dubai like cleaner,construction helper,factory helper,technician and above all security guard which has higher pay than others......security guard in dubai can pay u like 1500dhs +free shared accommodation +free transport and other benefits....mind u 1aed = #84.....1500dhs is 126,000naira. Do you think u can get that can of pay for such mini job in nigeria. even if u get that,u will remove accommodation money and transport from there and how much is remaining?which am sure u can't such amount for a mini job in naija..........do u know how many years some people,even graduates have being without any job? In naija, banks pay graduates(OND,HND) highest 80thousand. And from there,they will pay for accommodation and tee fees to work......but dubai,from ur 126,000,is almost ur saving the whole money if u know what u have come to do or even saving the greater percent of the salary. And u can get better salary after finishing ur first 2 years contract. If ur wise,u go for dps if ur first work is security guard thereby standing a better and higher salary in ur next contract........HUSTLING is not for lazy dudes or liver cuttage dudes...if u plan well...u will make it in dubai.....u need to be smart and sharp,reason like a computer.......I REST MY CASE

My bros is hell bent on relocating to dubai. He keeps saying a friend said this and that. He is billed to leave next month and said his friend has found a job for him.

Please how will he avoid his passport from being seized by his employers? if after 2 years and he wants to come back , can he come back if his passport is seized by the employer? can we send him a copy of his doc and use it to relocate back if need be? He is a graduate and is processing a work visa.

But i have seen a friend dt got a good job with an oil coy in dubai. he was working with an oil servicing coy in naija before he had issues with them. He did the contract in dubai for 2 years, married while he was working there. he gained the most weight he ever had in life while he was in the oil coys training school. He relocated to uk after the contract finished.

I feel destiny also has a big say. If u are destined to prosper in naija and u go abroad, nothing for u.

I think sometimes these things are exaggerated. If your brother is not gainfully employed I will encourage you to support him to come over here. It's not easy but life itself is not a bed of roses. If your brother has a clearly defined motive for being here, understands the situation of things here, willing to work hard and save then he will be fine with the right information.

If you remembered my last correspondence with you some years ago it was at Anambra farmers thread that was when i was about leaving Nigeria for UAE. I know it was not going to be easy, many of my family members mostly discouraged me as they were more aligned towards UK and US. I insisted and moved here. On the day of arrival, i paid a house rent of 150 USD in a room with 6 3 level bunk which accommodates 18 people. I was not surprised because i had prepared my mind ahead of the trip. I started my job search living in the midst of Teko (illegal immigrants), about 2 residents and the others sharing the same status as me.

One of my closest mate in the room later got a teaching job and another with an engine oil company in Ajman while i had none. He always wished me well even the day i took him to the airport to see him off for visa change in Nigeria. He later returned as a teacher with a decent salary and i later relocated to Abu Dhabi where i got a job working for an Oil and Gas drilling company. I have never in my life desired to work in the oilfield not because I wouldn't like it but because I have grown up in Nigeria to consider myself not qualified for the job since my friends with 1st class and 2:1 haven't got the opportunity even some with all the connection. To be honest, when leaving Nigeria for UAE my expectation was on a security job which will enable me save some money over a period of time and move on to another place. I considered UAE to be a transit route to some other country back then but today I'm only wishing for a better career in the oilfield.

For a prudent person, you can save money better than most average working class in Nigeria especially for the following reasons:

1)according to labour law, company provides accommodation(with a standard of 4 people in one room) and transportation to work amongst other things, otherwise, the allowances should reflect on your offer letter.

2) You work longer hours with an average of 12 hours excluding duration of commuting to work and back. This leaves you with little time to be exposed to a lot of social activities that will drain your money.

3) Food is generally cheaper especially if you can cook or don't depend much on African foods.

4) Most unskilled or semi-skilled jobs wear a particular uniform to work so you wouldn't have to be spending a lot on fashion.

5) Ever increasing power of the Dirhams over Naira, I arrived here at 1 Dirham to 50 Naira today 1 Dirham is between 85 and 87 Naira.

what most legal employees here often have to pay for is for their feeding, internet and call bills. Any prudent person will be able to save at least 60% of his salary.

About the employer holding the employees passport, although the law says it's a crime but in practical this is what most of them do. However, you can request for it if you have any important reason to do so and the company will give you especially if you are going for your annual vacation or have any official thing to do with it. In the worst instance if they refuse you can report them to labour and the worst that will happen is that you will lose your job and be banned for between 6 months and a maximum of 1 year which you can even lift by getting a job with a free zone company. In my own opinion, i think the passport is even safer with your employer since you have an Emirates ID which covers you within the country. Take for instance, you have a colleague with a questionable character and they steal your passport only to sell it to illegal immigrants or use it to clear money for yahoo boys. Average Naija boy knows how to get his passport back from his company except the person is a criminal on the run.

Generally, i think the standard of living here is poor mostly because of high cost of real estate but it's not always as bad as some people who have heard stories, who arrived here wrongly, who had been wrongly informed, and who has been duped always analyse it to be.
