Shock!! Family Disowns Dead Body Of Ugandan Woman In Dubai After Five Years of Not Sending Money Back Home

Ugandans in the UAE have been shocked by the story of Nalukwago Martha, a woman who died a few weeks ago in Deira, Dubai. Her passing has taken a painful turn as her family reportedly decided to disown her.

Family members claim that during the five years Martha worked abroad, she never sent any money back home. They say she did not support any relative who needed financial help and even blocked their contacts, leaving them feeling abandoned.

Martha’s death came after an illness whose details remain unknown. Colleagues and fellow Ugandans in Dubai expressed sadness over her passing, highlighting that she faced challenges far from home.

Despite efforts from some Ugandans in the UAE to contribute funds to repatriate her body to Uganda, her family insists that she should be buried in Dubai because they are unwilling or unable to pay. This has left her final arrangements in a difficult and uncertain situation.

The family’s reaction reflects a common perception among relatives of workers abroad. Many calculate the potential earnings of those employed overseas and expect them to provide financial support back home.

Advertisements by labor agents often indicate high salaries for certain jobs abroad. For example, security guards may earn Shs5 million per month, while other jobs pay between Shs900,000 to Shs1.2 million. Families use such figures to measure what workers “should” contribute.

Martha’s story underscores the pressures faced by Ugandans working abroad. While they aim to build better lives, unrealistic expectations and misunderstandings about earnings can create tension between them and their relatives.

Her colleagues describe Martha as hardworking and committed during her time in Dubai. Despite the criticism from her family, many remember her dedication and the challenges she faced living and working far from home.

The disowning of her body has sparked discussions in the Ugandan community in Dubai and online. Many feel sympathy for Martha and highlight the importance of compassion, even when financial contributions were not made.

Ultimately, Martha’s story is a tragic reminder of the emotional and social challenges faced by Ugandans working abroad. While she pursued opportunities to improve her life, she passed away far from home under painful circumstances and amid family disputes.
