How Nigerian Ladies Dominate Night Life In Dubai
A recent report making
waves in the social media revealed that there is a mad rush to the oil rich United Arab Emirate by young African ladies who visit the country for one reason or the other.
Most of the these ladies are reportedly Ghanaians, Keyans Ethiopians, South Africans, Nigerians among other nationals but they are dominated by Nigerians.
According to the report, over 100,000 Nigerians are resident in Dubai and 60% of them are women.
The report also disclosed that while most of these ladies visit for business, sight seeing, holidays or tourism, others go there as sex hawkers. It was further gathered that Dubai is a Tourist country where millions of people visit on daily basis, and the fact that the country frowns at their women associating with foreigners, it has made Dubai a sex city by these ladies of easy means.
According to the report, sex is one of the lucrative and thriving business in the oil rich country but the Nigerian girls are the most sought after by both the black and white men because of their beauty, sex appeal, knowledge of the western culture, fluency in English Language and power dressing, among other attractive qualities, hence they dominate the night life and make quick money through-their inglorious activities.
They dominate the night clubs, private parties, gyms and other hangouts that operate mostly in the night. The girls, it was revealed, make so much money by sleeping with the white men, back home, they flaunt their ill-gotten wealth and this attracts innocent and naïve Nigerian young ladies to join them in the scramble for Dubai.
It was also disclosed that most of the ladies who reside in the country and those who visit are engaged in the “Runs” business. The source stated that some of the ladies visit Dubai with their money, buy their goods and return to Nigeria to sell them, but 70% of the ladies get the money to buy the goods through “Runs” business.
For those who have established links in Dubai all they do is to consult their agents or pimp who arrange for men who pay them heavily. The ladies in turn pay the agents.
For this category of sex hawkers they make big money because they operate at the highest level, they get paid between $500 and $1000 per night, while the agent or pimp gets 30% from whatever they get. They use the money they make to buy goods and return to their various countries to sell them.
There are those who do not have links in Dubai before coming to the oil rich country but create their links by themselves. They go to high profile hotels and night clubs patronised by white men as well as gyms, they could make up to $2000 and $500 per night and since there are no agents or pimps to share the money with them, they save more, unlike those who operate through pimps.
The report revealed that most of these girls become resident’s by obtaining a residence visa or student visa. A resident’s visa could be obtained from travel agencies and ranges from 700 to 12000 Dirhams depending on one’s working category, the higher the work profile the more expensive it would be.
House maid visa is the cheapest while managerial visa is the most expensive.
Resident’ visa secures at least two years stay in Dubai.
The students visa comes in three categories which are family sponsored, Dubai student visa, Educator sponsored Dubai Study visa and Short Stay Dubai visa. For the girls to be able to stay in Dubai with an agent who acts as their guardian or pimp.
The agent secures their visa, ticket and accommodation, they are secured with a House maid visa or family sponsored Dubai study visa. The agent will be the one to link them up with men, give them accommodation and gets 50% off whatever they make within the two years their visa elapses, after which it is renewed. When the visa is renewed, the lady is now free to operate on her own-as the beat goes on.
