Wrong 100%

Give me the percentage of foreigners (Nigerians) in overseas (US,UK) that enjoy the same rights as real citizens.

In Nigeria, no matter how bad Nigerians make it look, it's still home (to me).

Please ,i take your mama and God beg you. Don't ever go to dubai or any arab country unless you want to go and slave there. Forget about what people are saying about dubai, that country don cast since 2005. I was the first people who travelled to duba in 1997 when dubai was still booming.first, i worked as a bouncer at arif castle night club in bur-dubai. I made small money and then set up a small Gargo office,but visa issues and Government taxes ruined my business until i lost everything.Dubai is only good when you have cash to go and flex and nothing more. I advise you to use that 800k to start a fashion boutique i assure you,you will blow in six months. No go dubai.i am talking from experience!

Speaking from experience, don't ever try it. I have four friends who did and as am speaking to you, 2 of them are back home with a very unpleasant story of how they are treated like animals, with little or no time for themselves....the other two are struggling to make it back home because once you get there, they will collect your passport as an insurance for them to guarantee you won't run away. Bro please think twice ooo
very true. Also have a friend who came back in 2017. He worked in a bakery. Earned 145k. He pays for a bed space everymonth 60k. Just bed space oo. He showed me pics of lots of black African people living there with bunks like boarding school hostels. He Then feeds and do other things with little left to save. He came back with nothing. He said blacks are maltreated so badly. You can't hi a white girl or you're in big trouble.


I'll just advice this op to wise up. Nigeria is not that bad. Standard of living here is poor but there's more to life. What of your dignity? what of your freedom? what of your peace of mind?

This is the best advice here

shocked shocked shocked


@ OP I think you're doing averagely well in naija if you could have 800k. Just try improve on what you are doing now, later you might now decide to jand. So that if it isn't rosy there you can come back and continue what you have been doing before. Just plan yourself well and make sure that 800k is not all you have. Agents can fu*k you up, noone seems to be trusted in naija. Almost everyone is finding one mugu to prey on. May your inner man leads you aright.

800k you say, if I had 400k I would travel by land to Europe. Better I die in that desert than shithole Nigeria. Now that snail Baba has made the country a living hell you still dey wait??

Please don't trek the desert
It's not worth it.

You can try getting visas to elsewhere

But trekking the desert?

Not a good idea

Nigeria all the way.

I only care about overseas for holidays, school and visit. Permanent stay is a NO for me.

There is life in Nigeria. In overseas you live like a fugitive, you hear siren, you scamper. You can never legalized your papers to enjoy the same rights as citizens.

With N800,000, I will generate a fortune in no time in Nigeria. Laziness and desperation makes us think of overseas as countries with streets paved with golds.

Your comment makes me laugh cheesy grin
Re: Dubai Or Nigeria? by CodeBlooded: 1:20pm On Mar 04, 2019
Well, if I were in your shoes, I will pursue my MSC here in Nigeria, and also start up a business. The Agent fit be scam and how much is 220k sef. That’s like 4months to get back the money you paid the agent. Will you be staying in Dubai forever ??

DO NOT!!
You can't live on 220k in Dubai. You cannot get decent accommodation with that salary. All you will get is a bed space with 8 people in a small room for a little less than 100k.
And Agents can't get you a work permit. It's your workplace that will apply on your behalf and you will be stuck with them for 6months.

Hello bro, are you based in Kenya?

If you are, I'd like to know about the corporate atmosphere there. Especially in tech. I hear its now buzzing for tech, which means lot of opportunities for techies.
Re: Dubai Or Nigeria? by cabasaa03(m): 1:53pm On Mar 04, 2019
U.A.E Job is 50/50 if you are looking for a job as a newbies because for now there is no Job for black nationalities and also the market is dropping that is why i said its 50/50. if you get the job its fine for a start. but if not you loose everything.

the following option is for you.

1. No U.A.E Experience is required for most job
2. U.A.E focus on tourism and Most of the Job comes from the Hotels (The Hotel Jobs can varies from Housekeeping,waiter e.tc.) and its by Luck
3. If you do not get the job within 3 months you have to go back to Nigeria.
4. Accommodation here is expensive even for shared apartment
5. Asians Nationality are 60%, blacks 15%.
6. For 1 year or More you might end up not saving anything in U.A.E If you are earning little Dirhams.
7. Etc.


Please think about it Save More or invest in Something else that is my advice for you the agent will take the money required from you without pity(No padi for Jungle).

Please,for God sake dont deal with that agent.
Most of this agents are scam.They will promise you heaven and earth,when you get to dubai,you will be left stranded.They will collect all your money and disappear into thin air.

Let me be sincere with you,is no more rosy in Dubai unlike few years ago,to get the security job now,you go waka tire.

If you are still bent on going to dubai,will advice you get a 3 months visiting visa,when you get there search for jobs yourself,dont fall mugu to any agent.

Boss, one thing i want you to know is that if you go to the USA with an immigrant visa, you will be given the same rights as real citizen

Those ones that you are talking about are the illegal immigrants.

To each his own sha. Nigeria is not my home.

no working visa to Dubai
you can only get 3 months visa then get a job when you get there
you can achieve your aim with 800k if you fall into a good hand.
mind you,Dubai is not that easy you must be ready to strive for the first two years.
beware the agent is a scam
