Bro you got the Message wrong because the Letter Said please choose from the options below by ticking the APPROPRIATE BOXES
that means You can choose only the Boxes to keep your Passport yourself and not giving the HR for safekeeping.

All I know is that no company will spend whooping some of money to give years work permits and not keep your passport what if you run home when the job no longer suits u , the paper that guy is showing is fake

The Op explained the situation in UAE and it is clear that professionals are likely to get good jobs while hustlers are likely to suffer.If you intend to travel anywhere in the world it is your duty to find out the opportunities, challenges and immigration policies of countries before you move .With enough information prepare yourself by learning the necessary skills needed .Dont just enter plane to husle you will suffer .There is misconception that migration is all about getting money , some one even said he prefer to remain at home since he is earning high bros securing a better future for your kids is fundamental to your existence. There are people who are experts in discouraging others from traveling .You planned to go SA they will tell Xenophobia,u talk about UAE and Saudi Arabia they tell u slavery ....You planned to go Europe they will tell you racism go finish you , you decide to go Germany they will tell you language barrier.You mentioned Uk they will tell you tax go finish you, meanwhile hey are not going anywhere they will not allow others to go .There is no easy country anymore, You must be mentally ,physically and financially prepared .Nigerians have bad records in all countries and at the same time Nigerians especially professionals have contributed immensely to their host countries growth .There is no country without hardship and enjoyment ,i know a Nigerian teacher in Saudi Arabia earning very high in American school and also know a young lady in Saudi suffering as a maid . Professionals are needed in middle east and in all countries of the world while hustlers are not needed ! Every one cannot go America and Canada ,there are countries with boun dless opportunities . Get the information to avoid stories that touch the heart

I was with you throughout the thread until you made this point.
We all understand that what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B, heck we have billionaires in this same Nigeria people are dying of hunger, so using that logic is not always ideal.
UAE and most Arab countries are generally not advisable as they have certain human rights violation issue, massive racism, archaic and Islamic laws

Your class being made up of 98% Americans/British DOES NOT negate that fact that America (USA) is a better country for a Nigerian immigrant than UAE

India is a shithole country and any reasonable person will not be planning on going to India for greener pastures, who the hell does that
In life there are always exceptions, and your friends who have hit it big in India are amongst those few exception.

When we talk about immigration, talk about empirical evidence, longitudinal and documentated facts of people LEGALLY making it or settling down well in Countries, and USA, UK, Canada and few EU countries are on top of the list of such countries. UAE is NOT on that list.

You can't even hear about any company even talking about seizing, holding your passport in the countries I mentioned, I believe you don't understand the level of insanity for a company to even suggest such nonsense.

Companies in the countries I mentioned also SPONSOR their employees work permit/visa too and are at the same risk of employees resigning or running away, UAE compainies that suggest this act of holding your passport are simply silly.

Finally, I never said countries like USA, Canada and so on are beds of roses, but whatever suffering or agony an immigrant passes through, there are very stringent laws against human right abuse, racism, and generally this countries have 21st century modernised laws.

I have lived in Abu Dhabi for 4 months, and visited Dubai a few times it's certainly a beautiful place, but certainly not an ideal destination for a Nigerian economic immigrant, I would say it's 2nd option to consider if USA, Canada etc are not feasible

Well said. I think this fella has a motive and it might not be disconnected from the possibility that he or she is looking for potential UAE visa patronisers to fleece off their hard earned money. It’s not a coincident that she keep rebuffing any contribution that discredit her folly about Dubai being some great city to hustle, moreso from people like yourself who have lived there. Typically, when one source of livelihood or biz is being undermined they resort to aggression to counter dissent as she has been doing here.

UAE as a country annual healthcare budget doesn’t square up to even 30% of the UK NHS nor that of US and normally distribution of spending in any country health sector (or any sector) and staff earnings is determined by the overall health care budget of that country. In light of this, there’s no way she can save 15million naira in a year as an imaginary nurse. The average salary of a nurse in Dubai is between £500-£2000 based on information available on the web. So even if she’s to earn £2k per month and save all of her earnings without considering any disposable income that will mean her annual earnings is £24k, and that’s not even up to 15million naira. She must really think we are dummies here.

Note that as it with the norm before one can earn the £2k per month which I used as a metrics for my calculation they usually should have some experience years of practice but according to her it was in her first year, therefore no way for an entry level employee with no experience to earn that much. Such a scam.

In my opinion, this is unnecessary. Your argument on how much she claimed to save is invalid. We are all here to learn.

Your opinion but I’m here to expose her after realising she’s hostile to dissenting opinion and expect everyone to accept her narrative. And certainly would expose any lie that’s designed to promote her course and it’s exactly what I just did. Again, it’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it just like I am to mine.

It appears you’re here to mislead people into thinking Dubai is some choice destination for hustling. And becomes livid once anyone expresses a contrary view to the narrative you’re projecting herein. Heck UAE is a third world country with unemployment level more high than the Western countries you’re comparing it to.

You know for sure that the Western nationals working in the UAE migrated not coz they don’t have decent jobs in their home countries but mostly as expatriates and to enjoy a more friendly climate but you won’t highlight that fact. Rather you’ll be evasive and make it look like they migrated for the sole purpose of looking for greener pastures they lack in their countries and migrate to “hustle” like Nigerians do migrate. It’s a travesty to even compare UAE with UK, US, Canada etc as they aren’t even close in any indices be it economic or social welfare nor employment nor earnings on average.

Don’t be mischievous and you are the one who need to chill and be receptive to dissent. What’s in UAE to encourage anyone to migrate there and even compare with Western nations. You even went as far as comparing US immigrants to UAE, please be serious and saying some can’t afford to send 20k as if that’s a new news...we’re talking about overall average. Imagine even comparing world biggest economies to a squalor third world nation.

Finally, be informed that I meant rooms sharing not apartment share, although I’m aware you understood what I meant but for mischief-making purposes had to address something else as regards room share I highlighted.

Please if you’re reading this I reiterate don’t dare go to Dubai except fraud/drugs is your main objective. There are little or no decent jobs there.

This is the one that is quite annoying, why should an employer seize an employee's passport? The passport is the property of your home country, another person (especially a foreigner) has no right to hold it, not to talk of keeping it. This itself is slavery, or prisoner.

Nigerian government should look into this case, where a Nigerian passport is seized by foreigners (without a court order ) as a violations of Nigeria's sovereignty.

What happens if your walk into the Nigerian consulate in Dubai and complain that you have lost your passport or that your passport has been seized and you want to travel home, are they not obliged to provide you with a temporary travel document just to get you home?

Champagnemami:


Lol
People just dont understand that its not easy anywhere. Currently, the US is d best place to hustle. So many side/odd jobs especially with the immigration restrictions. But in that same US, there are many Nigerians who can't afford a ticket home. Heck, some can't even send 20k for a family emergency in Naija.

In my school we're 80% Britain, Canada, America, Australia. The rest 20% are Arab, Africans, others. These 80% are coming from countries that you all are running to.

I earn more than a teacher on my grade level in the US. These ones use some considerable sum of their salary for taxes. Whereas mine is tax free.

But in this same Dubai, you find people with same qualifications as mine doing domestic help work of 150k.

At the end, its about sensitization. Don't just carry bag and say m going to Dubai. What are you coming here to do? Is that d best you can do? Are there better options? Ask questions and arm yourself with info.

That same India you condemned i have friends there who have hit it big. Meanwhile Indians are running into Dubai in droves.

And what's wrong in a shared accommodation? After I got my first pay, i rented a self con of 35k dirhams per annum. After 3 months i did a brain reset and got a shared apartment for 9000 aed per annum. Which means i now save extra 2.6million naira yearly.

That it didn't work for Yuh friends doesn't mean it wont work for others.

So you just take a chill pill and breath

Terrible to say the least.

And AutoJosh was posting their road on another thread. Not knowing that it is other people's hard labour without commensarable compensation they used in building all the infrastructure.

I've always known an average Arab person to be mean, especially the middle Easter, Saudis in particular.

If not that Mecca is made compulsory for those that can afford it, I would've counted it among the countries I would like to avoid. That's the world head quarter of terrorism, aided by the US of A.
