when you coming to work in the UAE, its not JUST about the salary... you have to take advantage of the developmental strides and the beautiful culture and environment around you. life is to be enjoyed peacefully, sadly for now...Nigeria doesn't offer this.

please i want to beg Nigerians here in the UAE and those planning to come, no matter the job you find yourself or salary you earn please do your possible best to take care of your damn self. i am tired of seeing ''some'' Nigerians looking and living like pigs just because you earn a 800 or 1000AED salary.

when you are off work like fridays or the weekend, take yourself to a treat. spending 100AED of your salary just to pamper yourself wouldn't kill you. the beaches are free, the malls are free to enter with wifi, meet and greet, expose yourself. YOU ARE IN A DEVELOPED COUNTRY.

i was shocked to find out some persons have stayed over 3 years in the country and have never even had a glance of burj khalifa. cmon you live in a country that houses the tallest building in the world and you haven't even seen it? what kind of life are you living? you want to work, save and die?

all work and no play my people... Don't tell me about your family in Nigeria, don't be stingy to yourself...i see some Nigerians here and i shed tears. why won't the mere indians see you and maltreat you? you already presented yourself as a slave to them. some of you can't even buy a set of rollon and perfumes to atleast smell good.

dubai is expensive i know but take advantage of the environment, look and smell good please.

Thanks boss, the emirate ID isn't ready yet (long story, just won a visa case against my abab at the high court hence I haven't gotten the passport back from the him/courts/immigration, he's meant to compensate me and clear my overstay within a defined period in my judgement which is till September) hence I said my National ID and soft copy of passport.

murphybo:
No need for long story and preaching all I can just say is that, if you have a constant job or business that fetches you at least 50k per month in Naija best thing for you is to stay and develop yourself more, dont waste your money to come and risk by trying your luck there is 80% assurance you will go back home or go for visa change, that is certain. But if you are a professional and have uae certified course you stand a better chance. The real fact is that if you cant live a comfortable life if your salary is less than 3500. Cos you cant afford to rent house of yasef. Dont waste money to try luck DUbai don cast, maybe after EXPO 2020 things might be better nobody knows. Ire ooo

jamexborn:
if You are good academically, gather money and get professional certs, by professional cert I don’t mean ican, nim and d rest of Naija so called professional qualifications.

I am talking about the international ones like nebosh, acca, cfa,hrci,shrm,pmp,aws,cissp and rest

One is not enough

Arm yourself well
Racism is real even with all your certs

Don’t come here with bsc/msc from Nigerian Universities

See guys, if you want to go to Dubai... Let it not be with your last cash!! I repeat, let it not be with your last cash!!! There's a big chance returning home Penniless/overstaying/nuisance/begger/thieves/ yes, I was there and I'm back!

My bossom friend promised me of a job even before landing, he gave me a profile of him owning his own place and all that. Don't blame me, I have to believe him because he own a car in Naija and just came back for his wedding. We all saw the glamour of the wedding and yes, he left his car for his wife and traveled back almost immediately. Here the convo.

Me: Harry, I hail o, see how you fresh, help your boy na?
Harry: Oboy na God o, how mumsy na, how that your stubborn brother?
Me: Boss we dey o, na God dey keep us alive even as the Government no send us.
Harry: If you fit raise 300k, I go help you get UAE visa, my company there na security them dey into. Stadium, clubs, events, etc.
Me: Obbbboy this my body fit that kind job na, joblessness Don turn boys to gym expert and bet9ja ambassador.
Harry: no worry raise the bar.
Me: Okay baba.

Na so I enter road begin hustle, follow tipper drivers Up and down to raise the money, mama raise 100k and one and two together money correct I send am to my guy account here in Naija, in two weeks visa was out!! I nearly curse all my ancestors wey make me no speak out to Harry all these times. Na so I arrange bag and all that, mama go borrow money for flight, I tell am make she no worry everywhere good. In less than 2months everybody go dey alright. Small time Harry tell me say... Abeg bring, Garri, Oil, Dry fish, Equisi, ogbolor è remain small make he say make I bring Gbogbonise.
I say no shaking senior man anything for you. Na so I book ticket enter UAE. After paying much for excess luggage! We land via Rwanda Air. Wey Harry na?! He say somebody go pick me come, na so I follow dey wait, small time I buy etisalat sim and all that. Change money. The guy came said Harry said I'll give him 200AED to bring me over. I weak! I argue the guy collect 100AED we begin March.
Met with Harry and other guys in a house which I believed was Harry's only when night reach na Harry tell me say make I bring 60AED for bedspace Ò. Just to sleep! Na so life start the next day wey reality visit me, me and one guy begin waka for town unto I get work na make Harry just carry me go there make them Oga see my chest.
One week my whole money don finish, Harry was no where to be found!!! Advice from guys was I should bring money so they can help me get a job Bla Bla Bla Bla. I just cowardly tell them, if you see Arab wey go buy brokos, kidney, even head, just let me know!! Small time I don do CV, meanwhile I no authenticate my certs Ò. Before long I got some opportunities but the highest pay was 800AED with 10 occupant accommodation and transportation. Work condition was 14hrs on a bloody construction site under mad Sun! I picked it up as creditors don dey suck my mama blood for Naija, make I just pay the money and get peace, people of God na so I work finish, two months I send 70k home, Mama begin pray harder. I nearly die from that work, all my palms and eyes suffered from sore. Before long, them reduce salary to 600AED and employed more Nigerians. People begin para say them wan take those to court this and that. Na so them cancel all of us o. I go back to square one. This time visa Don almost kalas. Saw a nigga from my village and he asked me if I'd like to go back home. Na so I jump for him body say yes. He gave me a few money and asked me to go home. Bros, yes I came back, I didn't regret coming back, Harry sef till today na Ogun go judge you.

SirWellington:
Okay boss, I will do that. But hope my means of identity will suffice (soft copy of international passport and a copy of my national id). We will settle for renting a vacation apartment since they tend to be less strict about this identity thing. And perhaps I am not the one booking or paying she is and her passport will be tendered.

God Bless You and your Entire Generation.
People only think of the money equivalent when converted into naira but they forget to mention the quality of life, food and all that makes the heart merry with hope when you feed your eyes with pleasant sights all around you in the UAE just to mention.
The Jobs sef no even reach our people as the Filipinos, Indians and Pakistanis are preferred.
Graduates with Masters here in Nigeria are still looking for 50 to 100k jobs with zero incentives.
Abeg who get legit way make he move, save up as much as you can and have a plan to get a certificate course in the UAE then your cv can be pleasant to your prospective employer Seeing that you have been certified for that position.
NB.... Our certificate here in naija isn't recognised in the UAE....who can afford a professional course should use that to get a good paying job in the UAE.
Even in Nigeria, money still can't buy comfort.
What we see as luxury in naija is just comfortable living in the UAE.
The lifts in the local markets have got aircons in them in UAE
2019 MODEL OF CARS ARE USED AS TAXIS
METRO BUS ARE LIKE AIRPLANES MOVING ON LAND � ... Who never go no go know.

Peachycute:
Pls I am a Registered Nurse here in Nigeria, what is my hope of getting job in Dubai either as a Nurse or Nurse assistant.
Thanks

LEOSIRSIR:
Airbnb doesn't require any form of identification unless the property owner request for such which i doubt, her passort is enough.

Agbeni33:

You’re right, I use Airbnb quite often and most hosts don’t request for ID unless it’s a guest house or hotel setting.

justwise:
You want him to lie about the situation there? Sometimes we Nigerians hate to hear the truth especially when it comes to traveling abroad.

A week ago I visited Madrid and as we are driving around I saw some Africans selling pocket tissues by traffic, the sun is 40 degrees and I'm wondering how can anyone survive with this? Obviously they are illegal immigrants trying to survive as much as they can, if you asked such persons about coming to Spanish with visiting visa to hustle and he tells you not to try it, your next question will be why are you still there if Spain is hard?

People don't want others to make the same mistake they made.

nnamdi16:
las las, we're our own problem, had it been Nigerians do corporate, 5-10 Nigerians can team-up and rent a studio; but that will not happen, bcoz Nigerians are so selfish to themselves. If only we can think of how this quick money making syndrome is fast consuming us, maybe we would consider making good name first and then money next.

Me, with all the advises I'm seeing, I might just have to consider my uae journey. May God direct me, [B]bcoz Naija too sef don cast!!![/B]

NONNYG:

#Peace

...however, i am a professional certified IT worker, doing menial job in a shithole country, where my MADAM's assitant asks me to go and buy her recharge cards/deposit money/other errands leaving my main work for later... All for less than 50k.
..
i have saved solely to get out from this country: not to go and make money; no, to leave Nigeria.
..
shithole country where educated people advocate for a known criminal to become president...and the educated have put an uneducated man in power all because of GREED!

..
i repeat: i will rather be a slave in another man's land, than be a slave in my fatherland.
