Thank you so much for this wonderful contribution. I would want to concentrate in Dubai and with a 5K USD budget what other places do u recommend and what tricks to get cheaper rebates while in Dubai. As for the Nigerians to be avoided- what is the risk of association with country brothers over there.

i.meller:
I would be traveling with my Family- Wife & 2 Kids for a 10 day DUBAI TOURISM from the 20th to the 30th of January.

I have booked our flights via WAKANOW and paid for Accommodation thru their portal too.

I have not gotten our VISAs- any help?

Tips and advise needed on where to visit, what to do, what to pack with and certain Scams to be watched out for.



PS: Please MOD pin this thread so that fellow Nlers who will be traveling too can comment and Nlers living in UAE and other Travel Agents can give us their advise and help.

ManchyBabe:
Like Prince onx, I did not want to bother myself reading the epistle, until I saw JeSoul's comment..
I had a similar experience too, which I will try and summarize.
On my arrival to MMA, the man at the immigration counter took my passport, checked it and said "yeeeeeeeeee there is problem" and am like what is the matter please? He said the chip in my passport has been destroyed and i have to go to Abuja, and told me to make sure I do it or else i would not be able to leave the country with the same passport, I just said thank you and left, was not bothered one bit, but mentioned it to my mum who was worried and said I should go to the passport office and check..
2 days to my leaving Nig, went to the passport office in Ibadan, cuz that was were the passport was issued and I asked for Madam X, cuz she was the one i was told to meet by my bro inlaw, and I was told she had gone to Abuja or something similar but the dude I meet asked me what I wanted, I explained to him and he said go and meet Mr. so and so, now am in Mr. so and so's office o explaining my case, come and see shouting like someone died. I quote "YE!!! MO GBE! HA MADAM THIS IS SERIOUS O, YOU HAVE TO GO TO ABUJA O'(Trust Ibadan people to always be DRAMATIC!!!), by now i was sweating, then one said MAKE I CHECK AM FOR OGA'S OFFICE, I handed her the passport, I then heard NA GOD SAVE YOU! By then she has removed the staple pins that was binding my passports and said " MADAM SE YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT STAPLER GO SPOIL AM?" I did not even noticed my passport was stapled, until i realized it must have been from the travel agent i have been using and I have traveled to at least 4 different countries with the "STAPLED PASSPORT O, She said THIS IS A MIRACLE, NOW YOU CAN GO, NA GOD SAVE YOU!' it was like I won a lottery was so happy and left...
Fast forward to few months after, I arrive again that the same MMA and another guy on duty tells me the same story, HA MADAM YOUR PASSPORT HAS BEEN DESTROYED YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE CUNTRY OO, AND ALL THAT CRAP!, I said "ok bring am I go take am to Abuja" and just left.
3-4months after am at MMA again and I still hearing the same CRAP!!! And only God knows how long I will have to hear it.

iamtheprincipal: Personally, I'm of the oppinion that a device was planted in the craft before it airlifted Gov. Yakowa, Gen. Azazi, et al for Portharcourt. I hope the investigation team undertaking this task would not fail to uncover the reason(s) behind this dastardly act.

One serving governor everyone has described as a great man even in his death apart from those crooks from Kaduna north. I have always had my distant admiration for this man.
I sympathise with your wife, Amina.
May the good LORD bless your soul, Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa and comfort your family.

General Andrew Owoye Azazi, one of the nation's finest officers who put his job on the line to speak out what he saw, the reality of the Northern unrest... "Boko Haram is PDP & PDP is Boko Haram" and as a result, he was declared 'unworthy' to live.

I did said earlier that there is more to this crash that meets the eye & I expect the investigation panel to leave no stone unturned by exposing those idiots behind this very sad occurrence.

We must adopt the precepts of bringing the enemies of this nation to book.

chiboy1928: pls I neeeD an urgent reply fr u guys?

chiboy1928: pls open up what are u assumining why would I have a problem with NDLEA since am not having any contraband goods with me am going to work for a company dnt understand wat u meant by all dat?

They create fake shipping service website and embassy website and they give u the website to check out and also create a login information for you. So beware!!!!. Google whatever country embassy it is and be sure its the genuine one

Let me give advice based on the countries I know.
South Korea:
Good country. Easy to get an admission for your kinda course, even scholarship. visa won't be a big issue. But ticket is expensive (about 350,000Naira to Inchon airport). You could spend 10-15$ a day on food. Part-time work available for students. Many Nigerians at Itaewon -downtown Seoul. Possible to marry a local or expat for residency (not quite easy), except say overfine dey worry you. Spiritual congi dey here wella!

JAPAN:
Less discrimination issues. Nice people. Possible to do the course there but no job opportunity after the course. Possible to marry a local if you fine reach mr nairaland. Extremely difficult to get their visa in Nigeria. Housing is expensive. Lots of business opportunity. Food is moderately expensive. Ticket is expensive.

CHINA:
Lots of school for your course; One is shanghai jaotong university. Scholarship is available. Teaching opportunity available. Discrimination issue if you "dudu" well well. Cheap food. Cheap housing. Business opportunity. Avoid Guangdong province; too many issues with the Nigerians and local authorities. Residency is easy.. Na your money. Ticket will cost about 180,000 or more . For china, you no go get " spiritual congi".

UAE:
Some schools are running the course. I doubt if there scholarship available. Forget 'toasting' a local...you wan ...? You fit use your money solve "congi issues"...lol. No hustle for the faint-hearted. Available job opportunity. Expensive housing, except you share. Ticket is cheap (105,000 -rwandair). Visa is easy. Your "owo" fit get you 2 year residency.

SOUTH AFRICA:
Oh, my lovely SA. This country sweet die. Lots of school for your course but no job opportunity. Residency is easy. Visa no be wahala. Other countries visa na wahala; You need permanent residence, which is possible after 5years in SA. Omoge plenty, any color you like. Spiritual congi will never be your portion in SA. Hustle too plenty if you get contact. Housing ranges from cheap to moderately expensive. Food is cheap. Avoid hillbrow. No-Gooders plenty for there.

Also, I checked West African Airways site and they state that they only fly from Washington to either Accra, Dakar and Liberia...nothing about Benin or Barbados. If you have a link to your information, please post it. thanks
