Oh pls we all know Arabs are as racists as Bleep. Modern? Didn't they threaten this 19 year old guy with four years prison just because he flirted with an American

Smh.... Do u know that the ministry of labour here protects the right of every person whether from Africa or Asia. Any organisation or individual that violates anyone's right will pay heavily for damages. I know a Nigerian who was paid 12,000 aed because his rights where violated.
Don't be hasty to generalise.... They are not like the fulanis with stinking ego..... and don't mistake the UAE with Saudi Arabia. UAE is far more liberal and accommodating.....

You will never know until you see with ur koro koro eyes...

lovelygurl:
Exactly what I was thinking, of all places DUBAI? A Muslim country for that matter smh

What are you saying? Do you know how many Americans troop in here to get jobs? Although it's a muslim country but far more modern than ur comprehension.
Tax free, safe and very organised. More beautiful than New York n London put together...

justwise:
Are you working as an engineer in Dubai?

No I read philosophy in OAU ile ife. I work in an ecommerce company with no experience or whatsoever. It was packaging that helped me. I was able to cook up stories and they saw value in what I uttered.

Hmmmm
I was working and living in Dubai
My single studio apartment as at last year in Jebel Ali/The gardens (mind you this is not the highbrow area of Dubai) is 45,000AED/Year and that is 3750AED/month = 450,000Naira. Excluding DEWA(light/water) and Internet which costs about 600AED/Month =72,000.
That is 522,000... at a point I had to get a room mate..
Why should I stay in Ajman, Fujairah and Sharjah when my job is in Dubai?
This is only for accommodation, talk of transportation and feeding, recreation
I am no where close to being pathetic

Someone like you are the people encouraging married man living in Nigeria and earning 150K to come to Dubai to earn 650K

You were ignorant bro, Al Quasis is in Dubai and you can get a room for 2,500aed, also in Al Nadha Dubai. Both places are proxy to the metro stations.
I work in Duabi and I live in Al Nahda Sharjar which is just at the border of Dubai, it takes me 1 hr to get to my work place. Gardens is among the highbrow areas if you dont know. You were not calculative enough. And why rent a studio apartment when you can rent a room and share Kitchen with your co tenants.
If you are mobile, have your own Vehicle, Sharjar or Ajman would be more affordable for you. But If you dont, then it would have been wise of you to get a place in Al Quasis, Al Nahda Dubai side or Sharjar side. Theose are the outskirts areas and are relatively cheap and affordable. You were unwise and you have yourself to blame my dear.

See before I venture into anything, I try to weigh the options thoroughly. I am not like most people who just jump into conclusion or act on impulse and end up gnashing their teeth and blaming others for their ignorance and lack of tact.....

Out of all the places is Gardens you went to... You for go Jumeriah na....

freeman95:
well i dont think its your dream to travel out because if it was your dream, u would have a better country in mind and must have made all your findings right!

.expecting to blow and land a job in a countru like dubai na shallow thinking

the main reason most people leave naija to hustle abroad is probably cos they are suffering here, so they decide to go to at least a better country where their hustle has a higher chances of bringing money for them..


u cant get to a country and run after few weeks , u are too immature man!!! u expect say make oyinbo begin shower u with money as u land for airport abi??


you gotta work for everything u have! only difference between 'abroad' and naija na the comfort and openess to opportunities.....


people who travel abroad as a hustler with the mindset of making millions easily
never make it most times


u just gotta have a plan dawg! even if na gigolo u wan go do for there

u still gotta have a plan

Well said dear....

favoured234:
Yes you earn 650K and a room costs about 500K
With your 650K can you marry a wife and keep her in Dubai
Do you have a room of your own or how many of you are sharing a standard room
Be here spitting out the bright side and continue misleading people with huge figures

I stay at Al nahda sharjah. And my room cost about 250k you can get a cheaper room at Ajman for about 180,000.
You so ignorant. I stay in a luxury apartment on the 6th floor. A 3 bedroom apartment n each room cost about 250k monthly and we all share power bill n water equally.
And who d hell told u a room cost 500k? You are just pathetic. It's people like you that are easily deceived.
If you are an engineer you stand a better chance coming here n getting a job.
If you searching for any job search for organisations that are run by Europeans. Indians or Arabs won't pay u that much......
Govt organisations like Emirates, Fly Dubai, d nata pay well.

falopey:
Yes he was unfortunate. But mind you, the absolute majority of Nigerians in Dubai have the same plight. Very few are fortunate to get what they are looking for in Dubai. I was in Dubai precisely Dera for two months. I got the same story to tell. So I can relate to everything he said. Most Nigerians I saw in Dubai are wasting away there and unable to get out of the country. Thank God I gave myself brain and came back to Nigeria before I got stuck in Dubai and unable to get out. If I because of what people would say if I came back to Nigeria and I remain stucked there, I won't be in the US today.

Dubai is for the wise and calculated. The lady I talked about in my previous post is not a university graduate. And she earns about 1.2m naira equivalent now...
I got an interview with a Saudi company in dubai, I almost got the job but my over sabi killed that opportunity. It was 9500aed per month.
It's a lot easier to make it in Dubai than yankee. You just need to elevate yourself n package urself well well. Speak fluent English n lie of your experiences.
See Dubai is like a place with 3 grounds....
1. The muddy ground
2. The wet quick cement ground
3. The solid ground.
Those lowlife Nigerians who feel menial jobs suit them fall in the wet quick cement ground n get stuck forever in misery n hard labour....
Those who find themselves in the muddy ground like myself still have hope for a brighter future. With hard work and other certification I can move on to the solid ground. I am entitled to a loan of 37,000aed just because I work in dubai....
Those in the solid ground work 5 days a week Salary from 9000aed upwards.... access to loans of upto 200,000aed that's N1 to 120aed.....

Many Nigerians just like to rush without being calculative.....

I know a guy who wasted his moms 3 million only to stay in Dubai for 3 weeks n spent 2 months in Iran because he was duped.... believing he had 3 months visa not knowing it was 2 weeks.... he ran made b4 he left Iran

Shiitposter:
650k a month?

Yes.... I work at Souq.com

agboolakolade:
My name is Kola, an undergraduate student of Ekiti State University, 400level final year, studying statistics.


It has always been my dream to travel abroad at a tender age and make some certain amount of millions and come back to Naija to start business.


My department is one of the toughest and baddest in my school.


The lecturers fail the students anyhow,imagine scoring 11 over 70 and a lot of prerequisite courses.
In a nutshell, due to the low G.P I'm having I decided to quit school and travel abroad without my parents' consent.


I made connection with my friend in dubai who lives around deira who claimed to have got job 5 days on getting to UAE.


I paid 800dollars for the 2 month visa, the visa came out and 3 days later I headed straight to MM airport.


I went to Emirate office to buy ticket and to my surprise the price I saw online has increased from 125k to 136k and I have made all my calculations from onset. I went to EtIhad office and behold they have closed, no flight for that day. I had no Option than to purchase the emirate. I bought the ticket and I join the departure queue a first timer, Immigration go chop, NDLEA go chop, I paid token.



I was welcome by some white Arab girls, saying "welcome to Emirate Airline". I felt like a King. Our flight took off. I was giving dish menu and I took option for rice. I drank 2 red wine, 3 cup of tea and coffee also, I can't eat their rice because it smells like perfume; totally different from Naija rice.



We departed around 2pm and got to Dubai 3am midnight. On landIng there I felt a new breeze and I was welcome to Dubai. The airport is so fantastic, I saw different races from Russia, UK, Ukraine, Germany and others who came in there for tourist. The port of entry was full and when it was my turn, they checked my visa, my passport, snapped me and I was passed in...that was probably my happiest moment on heart not know the bitter truth yet.



I called my guy and he asked me to carry cab to Blue Diamond hotel in Dubai. I slept there and early in the morning I called my guy and he came at evening time. He took me to a place to drink Castel beer with a lot of smokes, afterwards that he handed me over to another person called agent..

I paid 200dollars for house rent and he requested for 200dollars for agent fee also. I have met a guy earlier who told me he has been in Dubai since December 2012 till February 2013 and he got no job. On getting to Diera I saw a lot of Naija sitting down eating rice smoking shisha and talking.

I guessed in my mind that maybe they are house owners in Dubai but later I realise they came the way I came far back as 12years 10 years and some 6 years ago. They were tricked also and when they got there was no job. You have no option than to sell your passport and turn to cargo boy dealing with goods and clearing agent with visa agents also.

After 3 days I noticed my life in Naija is far better than that I put my self to in Dubai. I realised later that job is difficult to get and I have spent all my money in my account for this dream. I was left with 265dollars and I realised the earlier the better to return to Naija and continue with my bad CGPA in school. The life there is good with light, water everywhere, good road, good communication and easy environment but the major thing is how to make money there which is a lot difficult without a job, unless you are into business, come to buy goods, spend 2 weeks and go. There are many Nigerian youths roaming the streets of Deira without any job, claiming to live big abroad, posting nice pictures on beach with oyinbos on Facebook and Twitter.

My dear brother don't just run waka go Dubai or any abroad if no be school. You go hear 'whin' if money finish or your hand oo. Unless you go to better country like Canada, Australia, please don't run comot for Naija if no b school u wan go school because am talking from bitter experience.

I spent all my life saving within 5 days because of ilu oyinbo (whiteman's land).


After 5 days I went straight to Airport Terminal 2 and changed the date of my return ticket at Emirates office and was charged a token...

I boarded on flight and even met a oyinbo girl from New Zealand while awaiting flight..I took off and landed at Lasgidi. I was very happy, and I went straight to the woman behind taxi park selling hot amala with ewedu soup and correct meat and pomo to ka...

I lodged at a small hotel and the following morning i headed straight to the park of Ado Ekiti Garage.

Finally am back to school so happy and overwhelmed with joy because I have achieved my initial dream at 22years old...now about to go for NYSC and maybe I can go for my Masters in Canada or Germany later and return back home...


My people Naija sweet.., we no know the value...God bless Naija...

Mind you my mates I left in Dubai are still their but by the time they hear I'm a CEO or Managing Director of a company or Major in the army they will be ashamed to come to Naija again..

My God help us all to fulfill our destiny...its not always greener in abroad ooooooo.....

You where very unfortunate. I know many people who fell victim of such circumstances. My story is different. A friend invited me to Dubai, not an agent. I only spent $100 of my own cash and my friend covered the cost. I got a job in 2 weeks and I earn over 650k Naira equivalent.
I even met a Zimbabwean lady who worked in my company but her sister lobbied her into a higher salary job.
You were just unfortunate. I have been here for a year and my family and friends are proud of me.

SpicyJosBabe:
Hausa fulani identity is not actually a myth. They have somehow become one in most parts of the north (northwest). Milliions of fulanis have been hausanized because they settled in hausa land. And both tribes have over intermarried and cannot be differentiated in many places.

Hausa and fulani have different origins.... Hausas are originally Nigerian per say, the fulanis settled in Nigeria from other regions in West Africa. That's why they are scattered in so many northern states. They are a minority but they cling on the hausa/fulani charactisation to appear well expensed. I am a student of history and I am telling you the fact. Just the way the Arabs who were minority in the middle east used conquest n domination to spread thier culture through Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the whole of North Africa, and even Spain.
If not of the resistance they got from the great battle of oshogbo and the timely intervention of the British colonial masters. The whole of Nigeria would have been a caliphate by now.

airsaylongcon:
I like you. Points without insults. Very rare on Nairaland. Actually only 2 south south states were parts of the Western region and they got "liberated" early. I am not in doubt that Akpata is Yorùbá, K or no k. My point is that if for political reasons a Yoruba can deny his heritage (Sàràkí) or can be denied his heritage (Akpata) then isn't that a huge problem? The Greeks of mainland Greece cannot understand the Greeks of Cyprus or worse still Pontian Greeks but they are never denied no matter the weather. The late great Dr Awojobi had a favourite saying "Yorùbá ronú". The descendants of Odùduwà need to take that advice seriously. Efo ríro still remains the best vegetable soup ever lol

You haven't tasted affang soup with goat meat, Bush Meat, periwinkle(without the shell)smoked Titus fish, stock fish, and kpomo cut in small pieces....
I am yoruba but I won't be biased when it comes to soups..... Na calabar get am..... We still dey learn

ritababe:
bros na wa to you oh, how you go just baptise us say we be Yoruba at once, there is God oh abeg we are not.

You are my dear. You cannot not change your heritage, your roots.

Sicillian:
Yep thats true... they are called USEN, d language is similar to Yoruba, but dey are not... thier root is from Benin

I am happy you can attest to it. But I need you to know that around the world many cultural values have been wiped out by conquest and domination erasing their Original heritage. Look at the Egyptians, the ancient city of Nubia, Syria, the whole of north Africa....

My point is the Usen society were subdued by the Benin Kingdom and became a vassal state many years ago. But that doesn't change their heritage as partly yoruba. I hope you get my point.

gebest:
haaay bros, bearing yoruba names does't mean anything, anybody can bear any name he likes, now let me educate u a bit, Akoko Edo some of dem bear yoruba names but there language is not yoruba at all, OWAN some of dem bear yoruba name but their language is not yoruba at all, now we ve IJAGBA in ondo state but they speak edo 'owan' precisely, now we ve d IGBANKE'S they clasify them as edo igbo but their language is not igbo at all just like akoko edo they clasify as edo yoruba. So there is no yoruba nor igbo language in edo.

I am yoruba from Kogi state. My dialect is quite different from the core yoruba language. I bare both yoruba names and surname. Our languages are different but we share a common heritage (cultural values) that is noticeable in our names. In this part of the world there is so much attached to names that u can ever know. It's one of the few evidence that we share similar heritage. My language is very similar to itsekiri....

There is a township within the boundaries of Edo state just after Ore in Ondo state. I can't remember the name but their version of yoruba is quite similar to mine also. The township is before okada when coming from Ore road..... I have been there on one occasion.

Whether you like it or not..... The yoruba heritage extends to some parts of the south south..... it's quite unfortunate we don't have monunental historical records other than the names we bare in our respective society.

Ugomba:
@OP. There are NO Yorubas in South South.
Kanuri are the 4th largest tribe in Nigeria.

They are some yoruba affiliate ethnic groups in Edo state for your information. They are called akoko edo.... they bare yoruba names and also some communities before okada township that are of yoruba kinship I can't remember the name but I have met with them. So don't allow ignorance blind you my dear.

The yoruba race is the largest in Nigeria.... that extends from the south to the north. No other tribe have such expense....

winkmart:
You are the biggest fool...no more words

I don't know why Nigerians especially the youth have become victims of moral decay.... See as this one is calling me the biggest fool?
I wonder what kind of influence you will have on your kids since at ur age you can not learn to be civil. What a tragedy.... Nonsense

winkmart:
Yankari National Park is a large wildlife park located in the south-central part of Bauchi State, in northeastern Nigeria. It covers an area of about 2,244 square kilometres (866 sq mi) and is home to several natural warm water springs, as well as a wide variety of flora and fauna. Its location in the heartland of the West African savanna makes it a unique way for tourists and holidaymakers to watch wildlife in its natural habitat.

Here are underwater pictures which were taken at the Games Reserve located in. The main aim or purpose of the photo-shoot, is to show that the Northern part of Nigeria which is normally not included in so many travel wish list is actually not a war zone.

You may fool gullible and disorientated Nigerians but u can't fool me

U need to up ur game on content development...

MrPresident1:
The Iranians are the Persians, the Iraqis are Arabs.

Israel or the Negroes descended from Assyria, ancient Assyrians were darkskinned or black.

The Bible says it that the Israelites are darkskinned or black. You need reference?

Lol

Funny Guy.... Arabs and Israelites share the same heritage. THROUGH ABRAHAM.....
Abraham was living in Ur an ancient city which was between present day Iraq and Iran..... He left Ur and headed to present day Israel he gave birth to Ishmael who founded the Arab clan and Isaac who is the father of Israel....

MrPresident1:
Jesus Christ is the code name for the leadership of the black race. You have heard that tue government will be on his shoulders for evermore, haven't you?

The Israelis are not the Israelites of the Bible, there is not relationship between them. The original Israelites of the Bible are darkskinned.

Israelites are decendants of present day Iraqis and Iranians..... Do your research.... They are not white skinned like Caucasians.... but their skins are originally toned and in some cases brown.... But their body hair is straight as against curly(Negros).

Please stop this your fantasy.... I think you have been misinformed and disorientated from reality.

MrPresident1:
Seun, you are completely ignorant of the meaning of the contents of the Bible. I just checked frontpage now to see that this thread is now there and mischievously titled with 'naughty passage'.

To help your ignorance, I will provide an explanation but like everyone else you are free to take it or leave it. Know also that the Bible version you have quoted from is a heavily watered down version created by wicked people to keep the truth of the Bible obscured so that their slaves may continue to be slaves.

In summary, the songs of Solomon is the Bible book of a story of love between Solomon and his bride. Anthropomorphically speaking, Solomon is God while Israel (the people) is his bride. The real and true Israel of the Bible are the Negros who lost favour with God hence their devolution hence their present condition world wide today. God is the life and wisdom of Negros, but due to idolatry, we lost His presence and now grope about in darkness at noon, a lost people. But He has promised that His anger will not last forever, and He would regather us.

The time for this regathering is nigh, when the Negroes the true Israelites of the Bible will assume world leadership again, our birthright that was truncated for only about 2 days will be restored to us.

Solomon is Adam, Israel is Eve. Eve corrupted Adam; Solomon's numerous women corrupted him into idolatry.

You where making so much sense until u ruined it with Negros being the true seeds of Israel. The honest truth is.... The Negro race have no direct or indirect connection with the Israelis.....The black race before Israel was formed was a civilised race with kingdoms like Nubia, Ancient Egypt and Sheba... Thousands of years ago, Europeans were still living in caves and in the wild at that time.

I don't know where on earth u got ur deluded facts from but it's very fallacious and untrue. The only reason we backwards is because we have been unfortunate with leaders.

I shake my head in sympathy.....

nameerfhtennek:
It's more than 20minutes, I'm still unable to put words together to begin this story. I will try keep it simple and necessarily detailed so everyone will understand the true picture of what happened, why against my belief that writing personal experiences on social media is immature, I had to still write mine. Let's just say I'm not thinking right now, maybe I'm so upset but truth is, I need your advice.

I'm writing this thread seated at the back of a Hilux truck just outside our apartment. Yaa, that me in the picture. You see, today is EID and believe me I should be resting in the house since I'm not working today. Days like this only come by 6times in a whole year and more than anything, I would have loved resting than being out here.

It was yesterday evening, she called and said she her driver were headed to my office. She wanted to pick some stuffs around my office. Yaa, I forgot to say this is Saudi Arabia. If you know Saudi quite well, you will agree with me that a husband will definitely get exhausted running errands for his wife or the family. I was not in the mood for shopping but she wanted to shop. She got upset that I didn't want to accompany her shopping.

She did her shopping alone and returned few minutes before I closed from work. We headed home. Unknown to me, I forgot my internet router in my office because I was rushing to get home and continue with my FIFA 16.
Her internet service expired some days back so we were using mine.

While playing game, she walked into the seating room and demanded for my router. Mine, not hers. With her tone and facial expression demanding the router, I didn't respond because there was an indication that she was warming up for a quarrel. I wasn't just in the mood. The thing is, she is very skilled in extending her anger phases. That is one thing I can't understand till today. Believe me, it was not like this while we were dating. Sorry, I forgot to tell you I married my university girlfriend, she years my junior and the same department. Ya, I'm one of those guys that dated and planned for the future with their girls at the same time. God blessed that plan but at this point I don't understand everything that has been happening for the past one year plus since we got married. She repeatedly demanded that I handed over my router to her but I was quiet. Meanwhile, it occurred to me that I forgot the router in my office the minute she first asked about it. Truth is, I actually needed to use the internet that night for my online FIFA.

After several times of asking for the router and no response from me, she took the TV remote and switched off the TV. She walked straight to the kitchen and hid the remote. I approached her in the kitchen and told her I was not ready for any kinda quarrel. We have had enough for the past one year of getting married. I then told her I forgot the router in my office, I didn't have it. I guess she didn't believe me, she never did. She told me to leave her alone. I returned back to the seating room with my heart beating fast. I knew she wanted a serious quarrel that night. After some minutes, I returned to the kitchen and requested for the remote. Then I figured out she hid it in her pant. Pretending I was passing by, I swiftly went for the remote from under her short gown and grabbed it. She didn't expect I knew where she hid it. She followed me behind and ceased the game console, second indication she wanted me to react. I do have a problem with my temper just like every human, male or female. I have also learnt to deal with it by walking away at times I feel I was going to lose it. The same reason I'm outside at this time, 9:55 pm Saudi time. She knows I have fought hard to tame my temper issues but most times, she makes deliberate efforts to have me overreact to her nags and rants.

I watched her hide the console in her pant yet again. I shuddered in obvious fear because I knew what the woman wanted, a fight. Unable to deal with it,the intimidation and the shame, I went for the console and squeezed it out from her hand while she was trying to hold it tight. That was when the trouble then started. She wanted a buffer to help her spill everything she had nursed in her mind. "You are a violent person!! You can kill, idiot!! You were not shown love by your parents, that is why you will squeeze your wife's hand to collect the console. They allowed you to grow up in the street without parental guidance and love." Then it came....pwaaaaaaah!!! She spat on my face!!!!! God knows, I have never been spat at before, not by my parents, not by my siblings, not by anybody. " I agree I was not shown love by my parents but your Dad is a coward for running away from your mother without being there for you guys when he needed to play his roles as a father. That explains the reason you are like this", I said and walked back to the seating room.

I managed to play a few games which I lost mostly and then slept off around past 5am this morning. Around 3pm, I woke up and went to the office. Not like I had work but I needed to clear my head away from the house. If only there was alcohol in Saudi, I would have been somewhere in a hotel drinking away the shame. When I returned home by past 7pm, hungry and tired. I needed to continue my game but I could no longer find the game console and the TV remote. I asked for it and she ignored me. I managed to eat and then left the house to this truck.

You see, I love my wife more than anything, more than anyone. She is one person in the whole world I could go any length for. I love her, that was why I forgave her when she broke up with me after I left Nigeria for Saudi Arabia. She broke up with me few months after I came to Saudi and started dating another guy twice her age. She says she never expected I would come back to her after she left me but I did. I did because I saw a future with her, a future I imagined, believed in and worked towards its reality. Today we have gotten to a level where most people out there would want to be, our colleagues envy is because they believe we are privileged and blessed but what they don't know is that in the truth, I have no peace. This marriage has become my legacy and my curse.

I want to send her back to Nigeria in few days time and I hope I'm not making a mistake!!! Spitting on my face, nah nah....am so fed up!!!!

I feel so sorry for u..... love is a choice. You put urself in this mess and only u can put yourself out of it.

hiya

good morning guys

good morning

Why the intro about yourself? Is that the point? Who asked you?
