Thanks [1quote author=NONNYG post=84768223] Many Americans and Europeans are moving to UAE to work because they make more money here than back home. Here there's no income tax and so many benefits like health insurance, house allowance, paid tickets, phone bill allowance, children school fees, car allowance or free company transportation etc

One funny thing about UAE is that your passport sometimes determines your pay

A Nigerian passport holder and American passport will be doing same job but will be getting different salary

700k as in Seven hundred thousand naira only for a DL?

30mins break for 12hrs job is too small..

Here for 8/10hrs jobs at factories, You get 2 15mins break and a lunch break of 30mins..

For other menial jobs(excluding factories), You get breaks and 1hr lunch.

For 12hrs factory jobs, you get 3 15mins break and 30mins lunch..

How much does an average person save monthly on an a average job in UAE?

I heard people snatch passports and use it to travel home? Wont immigration detect them OR Africans look alike to UAE people too?

Can you be working at the same time schooling as to move up in career?

Thanks

So I've been in the UAE for all of two years and boy has it been venturesome and hygge?

I've always wanted to write about my struggles in this seducing desert city but just never found the time.
Abeg , I Must say oooo , Instead of Reading Latest Nigeria News i prefer listening to Good Top Naija Songs Biko ooooo


'UAE' is a proper noun but I can't help myself, its always 'the UAE' to me.

I'll be taking y'all through steps on how i got here, how I got a means of livelihood, the stress and joy that comes with the job and all that.

Stay tuned.

bros I understand u. I am a father of 2 kids. I manage an hotel, January this year some bad boys came to misbehave in the hotel which will later arrested one of the boys dat came to rob, d suspect is still denying dat e wasn't d one dat came to rob but my security man and one of d lodgers identify d suspect. Because I use my car to carry Policemen to the boy house to arrest him. June 20th my car was collected frm me @ gun point, d car was not used for robbery instead they burnt the car, car I bought 1.6m was sold @ 30k. I was told dis boy gang are still looking for me. I av resign my hotel job for safety. So bros u won't understand wat am passing tru everytime I wake up. All I need is advise. Am thinking of Bahrain. Sorry for my write up, I just need advise

Yeah, your valid naija passport is like diamond to a fellow nigerian who has overstayed, there's a slang for those who have overstayed in dubai, it it.

Champagnemami:

What sector are you exactly looking at and what are your salary expectations??

Akiliogidi:


Oh OK, thanks for the clarity, the agent never told me this ...
But is it that easy to walk up to your boss to tell him you are not working again? what if he refuses? what next?
Success wishes though, one day be one day I will surely leave Naija

three months ago, i returned to Ilorin from Lagos, one of my friends told me that he is going to work in Dubai, he left Nigeria in early October. we chat last week, he told me Dubai is not easy at the moment..... he said that cost of living in Dubai is too expensive, to get work self nah wahala.

he paid certain amount to get the work he is managing now..

my guy spend more than 500k for passport, fly ticket and visa, he never make a phone call to Nigeria, he always chat using Facebook, call tariff there is high die.




this thread will live longer than buhari....

born2begreat:
It’s not easy there in Dubai if you are not a hustler who can do dirty jobs like Construction, Road sweepers etc don’t go there. White collar job is not that easy there except for those who has Ph.D, Masters and in related to jobs they have there. I have a friend, he’s no longer w friend but a blood because we’ve been friends for more than 23yrs without a break. He went to Dubai this year January and with most of our chats, voice notes and talks sometimes on phone it’s not been easy. He was first working in a construction company as a labour when he first got there those ones used to owe them and the work is crazy hard. Now he works for their government LAWMA i.e road sweeper and earn just 75k monthly though they gave them an accommodation like the guy said(hostel type). The different now is they’ve done his 2yrs resident permit and his passport is with his employer. The type of information he can share with me he can’t share it with other people he would just tell you that he’s not discouraging you from coming but pray and you have to be strong. He just got his permit like 2 months ago which means he won’t be home anytime soon until next year August or September once the permit is 1 year.

yommen:


I earn double of that in Naija and yet I dey complain. God forgives me.

Oyerinde16:

If you wanna travel to Dubai, contact me, you pay when your visa is ready and you land a good job.
Your passport will be retained anyway... So you know from now.

Champagnemami:
