    Hi there. I’ve never thought about moving to Dubai. I do have a daughter that is affiliated with a major American Airline. She thinks the world of Dubai because of all the Beautiful buildings and environment there.
    You have done a fantastic job on giving the reasons why we should not move to Dubai. We have never been to the middle east or Africa. Hopefully we will plan a rip to the Mother Land. Possible 🇲🇱 Mali, Nigeria 🇳🇬, and Egypt 🇪🇬.
    Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. I can feel your experience and I know by the way you speak you suffered a great deal. I see your a very strong woman and God with definitely with you.
    Again I’m grateful .
    Take Care.

    I disagree, overall, with this video. She does make mention or some good point however. As someone born and raised here in America, America and a lot of other western countries are so many downfalls, even a few that dubai "supposedly" have. There is discrimination in these western countries as well here, I argue more so. America and other western countries are on a downward trend, economically, morally, etc. Plus dubai, isn't the only emirate. Most people love abu dhabi for example. It is the most expensive, but there is more opportunities there for work than dubai. A lot of the bigger companies will even pay for accommodation and perhaps other things in their packages based on their offer as well. Western countries is very taxing as well and it is becoming more of an issue to raise your children here (especially if you want to instill good moral values). I can go on and on. America is way more expensive I would argue. Groceries, gas, etc. for example. No matter where you live, you have to live within your means. Of course it is going to seem to be expensive if you live outside that.
    There are a lot of western people increasing leaving their western countries (US, UK, etc.) to work and reside in the UAE. I perfer Abu Dhabi over dubai personally. It is more chill and the environment is more suitable for me personally.
    Like I said you don't have to live in dubai. There is abu dhabi, fujairah (significantly more affordable), sharjah (more affordable), ajman (more affordable), Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain (more affordable)
    Side note: Al Ain isn't an emirate, it is a part of Abu dhabi.

    It is true that we all have to choose where we would rather want to reside. I was actually listening to which tier levels you were referring to. Well, I would like to hear the good things about Dubai from you as well. Anyways, like you said you personal opinion. Life will not also be the same for any of us, it's a matter of us praying to God to lift us to where we belong. Folks also have it tough whether in Europe, UK or US. There are some of 'bad' guys here in UAE. Hmmm. Make I know talk. Our guys are in SEHA, in top hospitals(Optometrists, Microbiologist s,Nurses inclusive, of course they are not much but at least we have a few) lecturers and researchers in their Universities, Engineers in ADNOC. And the good thing now for them is they have the Golden visas. Most of the people who have it a bit tougher are probably some low paying job seekers just like the one you showed. In the end sha, people should be well informed before leaving for any country. If you are not a shrewd business person, not a professional (tier 1 and 2), and some others I can't remember for now then come to the UAE at your own volition.

    As many people get sucked into Dubai and speak so highly if it, doing my own research, I can say confidently it’s a place for the rich to take advantage of the middle and poor class. If only the power the middle and poor class know they have, a powerful change will have to occur. However, we rather focus of race which causes more division amongst humans more than anything else.

Do you think that the problem of discriminating against Africans is mostly due to ATTITUDE upon their arrivals there. People in Asia are of different colors and so are North and SubSahara Africa. Start analyzing what the real problem could be behind it. I am tired of hearing poor me. Think like a winner and expect the best in life.

    weak points. How much have you been paid to destroy Dubai? 1. Discrimination. How can there be discrimination in a cosmopolitan society? 2. Cost of living. Yes, Dubai is expensive, but expats move to Sharjah and RAK which are cheap. 3. For the bunks, it's the low income earners (labourers). Don't forget, in the US, we have homeless guys living under the bridge in 2024. 4. Your employer is certainly not a bad person since he wants you to stay. So much ingratitude for a country that became your stepping stone to the UK

    This video is is not as informative as it should be. You only started how you felt about the country not what it really is.
    1) descrimination: no one owes you respect ,job opportunity, housing or anything. Getting upset that someone didn't give you something you think you deserve is a sign of entitlement.
    2) annual leave: if you want annual leave your boss has to give you because it's written in their labour law, you are entitled to one month leave , if your boss refuse you simply go to the labour office and they will sort it out for you.
    3) this work/life balance is a crazy concept. It still stems from the fact that you feel entitled to some lifestyle. The people that we call " rich & wealthy" were either born into the life or worked hard for it. No one deserves a good life unless you earn it or you were given it by your parents hard work.
    3) I live in Dubai now for about 4 years. I'm the highest paid in my company. This issue of British getting paid more than a Nigerian is nonsense. IF YOU PROVE YOUR WORTH TO A COMPANY OWNER AND HE/ SHE SEES YOUR VALUE, offcourse you will be paid more. Many Nigerians are just lazy and has nothing of value to offer. We have a very mediocre life in our country so when we travel out and meet real competition we crumble and then start claiming descrimination or racism or injustice.
    I'm the highest paid in my company with a Nigerian passport, and my friends too which are Nigerians are doing very well in their respective fields of work. No Indian,Pakistan, Egyptian etc can look down on you if you know what you are doing and if you have value

      Congratulations for being highly paid! I agree with some of your points except 2. Why don't people deserve work life balance? Are ppl just never supposed to have children?? U need time for family, love and relaxation to keep going. Also, u shouldn't have to fight your employer to give u what u claim the employees are already entitled to. If employees get 1 month, then why didn't the employer allow that? Without having to go through an investigation. It's shady my friend.

      You will also enjoy the tax free city and ease of everyday life (save for the extreme hot weather).

    The 2 reasons why for me it's a no go :
    1. Too much air pollution, from fossil fuels but also sand. I heard so many testimonies of people who got sick while arriving in Dubai. Apparently almost everyone has health problems, and even while living far from city center. There is too much sand, which makes it hard. And how are they gonna do if one day Asia develops and they don't have all this cheap handforce in order to clean sand ?
    2. Abuse of human rights. Some would argue it's in every country. But there it seems to go to an extreme level.

      @@elliotoliver8679 Honnestly despite it requires work to deal with, I don't believe sand is the biggest drawback, but rather the fact that due to desert climate and absence of wind, the pollution from cars stagnate more in the air than if you live by the ocean.
      If one day cars run on hydrogen/electricity and migrant workers live in decent conditions (sharing a clean room at max 2-3 instead of sometimes 8-10) then it could become one of the best countries of the world.

    Discrimination is everywhere. Perhaps many have inferiority complexes which they compensate for by discriminating. Could not care less. What is unsettling about discrimination is that it shows mental disease...or an inferiority complex... Someone healthy says , "I'm OK , you're OK." Someone sick will discriminate.

    Not a big fun of Dubai.
    1. Weather is terrible esp in summer -you can barely have any outdoor activities
    2. It has no natural beauty and everything is man made. Just because it is the tallest or biggest doesn’t mean it’s the best
    3. Dubai is still a developing city on many levels esp in terms of software. It’s hard to specify but if you’ve lived in the west you may know what I mean
    4. The whole city is way too material - it is all about fancy cars and big brands which I find shallow and vain
    5. It is true you may not pay tax but you also pay more for other things -veggies, chocolate, cheese and other things are way more expensive because they have to be imported
    6 Dubai is extremely boring- because no outdoor activities is possible you cannot take a walk, you cannot picnic by the beach, you cannot surf. Weekend leisure is going to a shopping mall😢

    It’s so weird they are an extreme minority in their own country and just walk/drive around and don’t interact with the MILLIONS of immigrants in their country.
