TravelRe: QATAR And UAE GENERAL VISA ENQUIRIES PART 2 by ugsams(m): 11:49am On Aug 17, 2015
Good to catch up with the discussion again. It has been a while since i visited this thread. For some reasons i felt so useless and that i have failed my friends. I used to believe that information and preparation is the most important factor in securing a job here but now i see it goes beyond that. some recent events has made me to see that luck/favour has a very large role to play despite the information you have, qualifications or network of friends.

Just a while ago i tried to provide some of my friends with as much information as possible as regard to oil and gas vacancies and companies here in the UAE; Giving some insider view and pointers but i was disappointed when at the end of it all nothing happened. I discovered that just like Naija many oil and gas companies are looking for experience, some others outsource the recruitment of their entry level staff to recruitment agencies in India, Philippines etc
However, that it didn't work for my friends doesnt mean it won't work for you so i don't want anyone to be discouraged. Simple truth is that there are a lot of us coming into the industry here. In my camp alone we have more than 30 Nigerians, on my rig the Fishing Engineer from Schlumberger is a Nigerian, my chief mechanic is also a Nigerian. we are 5 Nigerians in total. I have also worked on a rig where the Rig Manager, Assistant Rig manager, 1 Driller, 3 Assistant Drillers and 3 Rostabouts are all Nigerians. The Schlumberger seems to have even more Nigerians, as all the fishing Engineers that have worked with me on my current rig are all Nigerians. I also learnt their boss at the office is a Nigerian.

I discovered that most Nigerians here dont speak or understand Arabic judging by all the people i know, only 2 people can speak very basic Arabic unlike other nationals that i have met.

Can anyone of us here speak or understand Arabic?

Dr Dre thanks for your recommendations it is really an eye opener. I'm guessing it would be much easier to get Qatar visit visa from over here in the UAE once you have emirates ID. what do you think?

@Justi4jesu and monchouchou you ladies are really doing a great job here.

EducationRe: Opinion: These 20 Courses Should Be Scraped From Our Universities by ugsams(m): 4:26am On Jul 20, 2015
Nnaeb:
• Philosophy
• Zoology
• Sociology
• Social Work
• Linguistics
• International Relations
• Combined Social Sciences
• Archaeology
• Public Administration (which public?)
• Banking and Finance
• Political Science
• Estate Management (which Estate abeg?)
• Religion
• Insurance
• Marketing
• Physics and astronomy ( There is nothing astronomical about this course in Nigeria)
• Botany
• Library Science
• Corporative Economics

If the federal government are not doing anything by now to scrap this courses from our universities, then it means our economic liberation as a nation is still far-fetched. This courses should be replaced with the courses below. Not as a vocational program now, but as a degree program. Nigerians don’t like to identify with anything vocational, they love to go for ‘NYSC’.
• Software Development
• Welding and Fabrication
• Fashion Designing
• Concrete Finishing (Plastering, Screading, Painting, Tiles)
• Interior designing and Decoration
• Security Systems Technology
• Wood Finishing
• Road Construction Tech
• Leather Extraction and Finishing
• Cinematography and Movie making
• Advanced Programming
• Furniture making
• Solar Engineering
• Automation Engineering
• Hospitality Management
• Waste Management and Recycling Tech
• Web Development and Management
• Graphics, Branding and Industrial Printing
• Plant technology and Herbal sciences
• Content development and Research

If we can embrace this, unemployment will be reduced drastically.
Brown Uzoukwu, (jobtrends.com.ng)
Good idea but some courses on your list doesn't need to be scrapped off.

Thanks for the tips. When you mention a different area of Lagos, I've been told Victoria Island is a really nice area but will need to look Into my budget for that undecided . Am looking forward to creating my own experience of Lagos, discovering what Lagos means to me personally and meeting the Lagosians as you call

I'll suggest areas such as Surulere, Allen Avenue, Opebi, Isaac Jones, Adeniyi Jones, Omole, Ogba, Festac, Magodo, Ogudu, Ikoyi, Lekki, Alausa, maryland, etc

TravelRe: The Low Down On Lagos!! by ugsams(m): 9:15am On Jun 22, 2015
Lagos is one fun and crazy city... Nobody can give you an analysis of Lagos and be totally correct about that. To each individual, Lagos means a different thing. Lagos is a mixture of different things even some of the things we complain of, you miss them when you're not in Lagos. Interesting places will likely depend on you, where you are and the people you meet while in Lagos. You could love the parties and events, the people, the numerous beach, the market settings, the freedom and so on. Everyday you go out and meet with Lagosians is a very unique and different experience. To me the people of Lagos is the most interesting. To enjoy Lagos more, you need to be open minded, while being cautious. When you come try to visit or stay in different area of lagos.
TravelRe: Traveling To Bahrain by ugsams(m): 8:41am On Jun 22, 2015
You will definitely need a visa to Bahrain. According to one of my colleagues who studied there, Bahrain is one of the liberal Gulf countries like Dubai but i'm yet to meet any of our people who is based there. I only know of people who go there for airport to airport visa change from UAE.

The rules of the thread frowns at requesting to contact people behind the thread. Maybe you should ask the question here and if in anyway i can't provide the answers here because of privacy then i might contact you.

all u would do is leave ur sim in nigeria den wen activating they would have to call d number to give u d verification code den d person wit d fone in 9ja would answer d call and get the code for u to use in dubai. or if roaming is enabled, on ur sim u can use it in uae buh mostly works on Etisalat.
Gooci

This is not the best solution. He should bring his sim along and anytime he wants to activate whatsapp they will send him confirmation sms and if he needs to receive calls on it, the cost will be around 50 naira per minute. If he has internet banking he will be able to recharge as he wish or activate his atm card in the atm machine for the quickteller otp service after which he can buy airtime or pay bills through Quickteller account.

I have my mtn, airtel, etisalat and visafone with me and they all roamed automatically except visafone so he will be fine.

This story looks fishy, why will they need to kill her to steal the money and jewelry anyway. They can steal it when she is not home. Killing her was unnecessary. I think she was killed by someone else using her bodyguard, over something else, maybe political. undecided
I reasoned alike because they are mostly alone in the house and can do whatever they like in her absence. Even if they wanted to rob her in her presence all of them are capable of over powering her and locking her up till they are gone. may be the person behind all these used his networking to get them out through the justice system.

if she has good characters but masturbates and be faithful and open to me... I swear i'll be glad to have her as my wife in this life and after life. You don't know what you have bro.

I hate infidelity and i believe when a woman is unfaithful it starts affecting her general attitude wrongly.

But that sounds rather extreme. I know there are numerous people who come with 1month visa and leave empty handed, but I have never heard of someone staying for 3 whole months and not getting anything worthwhile…..
Initially he was selective but towards the end things changed for him and he was willing to take up any offer. Someone promised him some offer and unfortunately the day he left, some other one came up but he was already on the flight going.

TravelRe: 5 Things You Should Considered Before Coming To Study In The UK by ugsams(m): 1:39am On Jun 15, 2015
futurewise11:
As a current student in germany,let me give a first hand experience.

Studying in germany is cheap because you psy between 50-200 euro per semester(i e 40k max) per semester.

Insurance is 40 euro for private and 81 euro for public insurance(aok or dhk).i recommend public insurance because its benefit otweigh the cost.

Jobwise i love germany.if you have the capacity to work, its not difficult to get one if you are not the lazy type.expecially in the summer. E.g you can work in daimler, bosch,maggi,posche,deutsche post , hugo boss ,amazon and get averagely 4000 euro for the 3 month summer job.but german work are not for lazy people but they are easy to get.also theres a lot of 450 euro mini job whi h are tax free,with these u can leave and survive all your monthly expenses.
The 8040 euro in your in your block account is still your money but you can only with withraw 670 monthly.

Presently theres influx of american student in my school and when you ask them why they mostly pinpoint FREE EDUCATION.

The only challenge you might have here is language barrier,because its not every body that speak english but bro you will survive.

After your studies you have 18month to look for a job that equate the level of ur academic qualification to get resident permit. Beleive alot of people get it especially guy in IT,medicine etc,for those in business or economics program with b1 level of german you can get the job as well.

The only obstacle here is the LANGUAGE

Uk is also a nice contry due to easy admission and language is not a barrier but the Cost is too outrageuos for an average nigerian.paying averagely 1,800,000 pay annum as school fees and after pay this for 3 years(barchelor) you chased them out of your country is exploidatory in my own opinion. The truth is uk is overcrowded and they are broke (in my opinion) thats why there policy is anti immigrant.

Finally if you dont want to stay back and your family or sponsorer are well to do uk is your best choice,for husler,average guy,am tired of 9ja who want to stay back in my opinion germany is sweet.study hard,learn the language everything will flow...

Danke schön

Please planning on going to Dubai after fasting, please anyone need a room mate? Anyone planning going by that time too, we can rent a room together just before we get jobs, it will save us spending more, and please do you think I can be offered a job with a one month visa even if its not extendable? Need response please and thanks
Yes, you can be offered a job but 1 month is not advisable for job seeking because it seems time runs faster when you're job hunting. After the first 2 weeks, the last 2 weeks will be a very desperate and depressing one. I personally know someone who went back last week to Nigeria after 3 months of job hunting.
