Champagnemami: How is the environment for IT professionals and the salary range. I have noticed an increase in the number of recruiters from Dubai on linkedin. A couple of them regularly reach out to me but i don't know what the IT landscape is like there. Do they pay better than a good Nigerian Tech salary. (Talking about over the 500k range) 5 Likes 1 Share |

birdmansoho: 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 68 Likes 8 Shares |

You can live comfortably in the UAE with your family, the problem with us is we dont do research and we are always in a hurry to do everything in Nigeria. A 2 years freelance visa is 1.2 million if you get a company in the UAE to do it for you. But agents in naija will collect 1.4. Dont give any agent money for the freelance visa though, most will collect the money and wont deliver, they only know how to do 2 weeks visa, which cost about 40k and 3 months. Go online and contact companies. With the freelance visa you can get a job for 2500 3000 dirhams, thats 250,000 and 300,000 naira. You can get accommodation in Ajman or sharja for 1000 or 1500 dirham a month 500 will go for expenses and still have little to save up to renew your resident after 2 years. You don't have to live in Dubai or Abu Dhabi they're too expensive. When you're doing the resident visa, tell the company to use a higher salary to apply for the visa, for instance they can claim you earn 8000 to 10,000 dirham's, this will enable you to also apply for your wife and kid in a couple of months with just a token. With a freelance visa, no company will hold your passport if you're employed. And you can do side business quit anytime you want and move to another company if you get a better offer. I went to the UAE about 7 years ago to work, although I am back to Nigeria. 40 Likes 3 Shares |

Alcohol possession/the smallest amount of Opiate drugs, I no say Coke oo... just opiate! even for usage.. you going in. if you con be Nigerian? God don punish you... na straight to Their neighbor (Saudi Arabia) for beheading... cos they don't execute! fucking hypocrites. if you na bomber, you know what I mean... there anti Cyber crime is tight and advanced too, no be to dey raid houses like EFCC ooo... na signal tracking... highly paid reverse hackers from Russia and South korea peeping and monitoring people's private activities online in a collaboration with their Network providers!!! they are the government na! last but not the least... don't near their indigenous ladies, nigga just don't... you gonna get killed immediately.... it's a TABOO and a capital offence in UAE for a foreigner to make any sort of contact with their ladies... cos there are very few of them,,, so rare if u see up to 3 in a day na hatrick you score! Dem no dey show face any how,,, Dem see demselves as some kind of goddess. but I no go lie they are so fvckin beautiful damnnnnn! Na there Arab beauty start and finish!!! #fun fact... foreigners made up to 95…% of UAE population. India the largest, followed by Philippines... Pakistans.siri Lanka. then Africa. with Ethiopia,Nigeria leading in Africa. did I mention Dubai no Easy? ok I did, just making sure... did I mention no near their local women?? ok I did .. goodnight... one last advice, even if you insist on coming (Cos you no go believe until you see for yourself, e do everybody!) atleast try do residence visa... it's expensive but it worth it, it's easier to get job here as a Nigerian that way. peace!

No future at all when they are caught, they will be jailed if they can't pay their fine, which is 10,000 naira a day for the number of days they've overstayed. Their only bet is through an amnesty program where the government will deport people for free all fines wiped. That will happen next year. Even if you stay in the UAE for a thousand years legally you still won't even get citizenship. No their nationals don't date foreigners, you can't even see them. Hell they don't even use the same car plate number with foreigners. Their plate numbers comes with 3digits others 4 and 5. Thats the level of distance between the Emirates and other nationals. You can save well depends on how much you earn. lionlee216: 5 Likes 1 Share |

The UAE is designed for the benefit of Arabs. Africans live a better life on their continent than those living in the UAE. There laws are draconian. The UAE have some of the weirdest laws in the world today. For instance anyone can correct me but i read that at one point, wearing a Barcelona shirt in Dubai or Abu Dhabi could land anyone 15 years in prison. There was once a law in the UAE that prohibits anyone from wearing a Qatar football shirt in the UAE. Overall, its best to stay clear away from UAE and all the other parts of the Arabian penisular. Their records on human rights is atrocious. 1 Like |

truthsayer009: Let's look at it this way. Say you earn 150k monthly in Nigeria and you pay say, 45k as tax monthly, with all the amenities such as you have in Germany, ẹ.g. you don't pay school fees until your children gets to university, free medicals, child care benefit for your children. For instance, I leave in Canada. I earn 3600 dollars per month and I'm being taxed like 750 dollars. Meanwhile, my two children gets ccb of 1300, paid to their mother every month.

Like I said, I live in Canada as a parmanent resident. Now, this thread has added to the number of countries I'll never step into to spend my hard earned money with kind of inhumanity to humans. 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. 6 Likes |
