3 min readJul 8, 2021

Our NOLE VIP journey takes us today to the world’s largest artificial archipelago. These artificial islands (The Palm) were created out of only sand and rocks. In fact, it took over 3 billion cubic feet of sand from the seabed and 7 million tons of rock from the Hajar Mountains. Yes, we are visiting the city of Dubai which houses the world’s tallest building, the design of which is based on a local desert flower, hymenocallis, also known as the spider lily. There are three feet or lobes which form the architectural base of the Burj Khalifa, which echo the shape of this flower. While our NOLE VIP: Mr. Shabbar Fayyaz also famously known as Tick Fury (which is his gaming handle name) was born in India he has spent all of his life in Dubai since his kindergarten days. Shabbar shares his birthday with celebrities like Chole Lucasias, Roman Reigns, Mike Myers, Karan Johar, Cillian Murphy, and like a typical Gemini, he is intelligent, outgoing, and adoptive.

After finishing his schooling Shabbar decided to explore the world of money and did his Masters's in the field of Finance from the prestigious Heriot-Watt University in Dubai. Post competition of his formal education he got campus placement at Emirates National Bank of Dubai(ENBD). With 8 years of hard work he grew up the ranks and is currently working as a Financial Analyst at the Bank.

Shabbar has a loving family consisting of an elder sister, mom & dad and he wants to provide them all the happiness and luxuries in life. As an outdoor person, Shabbar loves Dragon boating and Kayaking. He is also an avid currency collector (fiat), which now has expanded into collecting crypto. He currently HOLDs more than 30 altcoins. He goes with the pseudonym Master of coin at various platforms. He also has an immense interest in newly launched projects in DEFI and usually indulges in conversations with teams on suggestions and improvements.

In Shabbar’s words ‘I am an avid gamer and spent my childhood playing games. Once I got into crypto, my gaming addiction attracted me towards NFT based games. I happened to read about NoleLegends and then I was in love. I read about NOLE and was moved by all the philanthropy and kindness that the NOLE community was doing. I just couldn’t keep the itch away from joining my first and only VIP group.’

As a dynamic individual Shabbar has represented the university at multiple competitions at the global level including some judged by world leaders like Mr. Bill Clinton to solve the water crisis in third world countries at Hult global challenge, Big Idea competition to name a few. He was also among the student representatives of DIAC (Dubai International Academic City) representing around 16000 students.

Shabbar’s young, energetic and charismatic personality makes gel into new communities easily and he becomes the flag bearer to infuse action and spread positivity in the projects he gets involved in. With his leadership skills and entrepreneurial bent of mind, we feel he will go places in years to come. We at NOLE are really proud to have him in our community and wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
