i recall that too, dem call me sotey dem ire, you need to hear foolish accent fr their mouth, i kukuma follow along till dey they stopped clling me..we sholud honestly learn to oush our economy to growth using our own resources.

You I feel so sorry for a lot of Nigerians that threw their money into time shares with the thought that they were investing. I know a lot of people that have benefited from time shares but that Dubai own is the worst money grabbing skim ever. First, you are only allowed to stay in the hotel for only 3 weeks in a year after paying millions to buy that time shares and then the maintainance fee is ridiculously high. Shoo 700 US dollars for a month is equivalent to 3 nights stay in a good hotel in Dubai. There why will somebody pay almost 8400 dollars to maintain a place you can only stay for 2-3 weeks. This don't make any sense. Time shares in the states makes more sense becos most are cheap to maintain and they have so many other affiliated hotels in the world one could use as a suppliment. I knew their game as soon as they approach my wife and I at the airport and we went to their office becos my wife wanted to take a picture close to the tallest hotel in the world ( free cab ride) and free ticket to a boat dinner. But boy the Lebanese man was angry becos he could not get us to invest our money and their cab man dropped us half in the middle of Dubai but who cares it was all fun to us being our first time in Dubai.

Hope you know Dangote, Glo, are also multinational companies. Multinational companies have a domicilied headquarter which is their country of origin, before tentacles are spread to other countries. the country of origin is where majority of the return on investment go. The bring their nationals to the 'multinations' they find themselves. Which is also a way of decongesting their own labour market.

Indians,
Lebanese,
Chinese
French
Americans,
Brits
Name them... The list goes on.

So your point is pointless.

It's makes more sense to carefully read and understand a post and its premise, before responding with an argument to portray your knowledge dept, or lack thereof. Do you have any evidence to show that the Nigerian investors in question do not have any investment in their home country-Nigeria, I don't think you do, so what's the essence of your long sermon?

meanwhile,most of Nairalanders don't know what time sharing means.

it's a method of partly owning houses for only a specific time.the time could be just 2weeks,meaning for every 2weeks in the year, different persons own the houses.this means that a house can be used by 26 persons a year.

i believe it wan not intended for scam initially.

Business just got awry because of greed..

Thank you. Most of them don't know this. Time-shares exist in several countries and is a cheaper way to take holidays. The people who got scammed are average earners or middle income people. So why you guys are laughing at people who got scammed of their hard-earned money, I don't know.

They are all flocking to Nigeria offering all sorts of time-shares and holiday packages around the world. They got my FiL to pay millions for one that he has never used. One of these companies approached hubby and I and invited us for their meeting. Halfway through, I just started telling him to forget it. Paying so much to maintain something you can't use well. It's much more sensible to get a time-share in a location you like to travel to a lot (a cousin has a time-share in Marbella and I'd like to join that) and when you have a proper schedule (no joining a timeshare when your kids don't have a proper school calendar or your work isn't regular and routine).

Hehehe overtake don overtake the take yawa o!

lol...Dubai time share investment..Nigerians like hyped investment.
Their strategy:
1. smartly dressed beautiful girls will approach you
2. they will invite you for a meeting...and treat you to a boat cruise or exclusive dinner
3. take you to the 30th floor show room over looking Dubai creek and sea
4. the next day you have paid for time share hotel room with promises of hard currency earnings

If you pay attention you will notice that most of their prospects are blacks (mainly Nigerians) no European no Chinese just ill informed Nigerians feeling like global real estate investors

TPAND:
Good for them. Invest your wealth in Nigeria, so Nigerians and Nigeria can benefit from it. You invest in Dubai's economy and then condemn your own and blame your government, you must be sick upstairs.

Nigerians and most especially Africans have this craving for things that are established, glitters. They never make any mental effort to maker theirs attractive. That's why Africa is the disposal hub of the world.

This is so deep and well thought out. I hope people read and understand.

We literarily are the dustbin of the planet.

Those guys can be very convincing...

Many Nigerians have fallen victims of Dubai timeshare scam because they believe Dubai Government have worked so hard to build and develop their country but few companies and individuals are working tirelessly to spoil that name. I have been scammed too by Arabian Falcon Holiday. I'm still licking my wounds. I will be glad to join hand with other Nigerians that falls into the same trap to join hands with me in order to institute a class action and also petition the relevant government authorities in both Nigeria and in Dubai. I will also like to join hands with like minds in order to educate other Nigerians on this kind of scam. Kindly you can reach me on aliyufx1970@yahoo.com
