Do you want to see Dubai free of charge? That will be
music in your ears when you have some time to spare upon landing in Dubai, the
city of glitz and glamour.
There is not a shortage of smartly dressed men and women
who throw you this offer once you clear passport control and head for the exit.
They are the kind of people we call strikers in Lagos.
They aren’t so versatile in the use of the English language, but they
understand and speak enough to communicate and are quite glib. They are on the
payroll of all manner of companies including tour operators, property
developers and so on. Their job is to get some of the millions of travellers who
use this airport to visit their companies in town for business.
Seriously, you shouldn’t pay them any attention. They are
time wasters. When you get to their
offices in town, you are going to be disappointed.
The freebies they promise always have a catch that wouldn’t
enable you take advantage of them while your visit lasts.
More seriously, some of them work for advanced fee fraud
syndicates. They will try to convince you to invest in some hotel property deal
that is guaranteed to yield you thousands of dollars in profit after recouping
your investment in a couple of years.
Hello! If you fall for that in a foreign land, you don’t deserve
to be called a Nigerian. We are smarter than that.
