justwise:But Germany still trumps UK 10 times over!! Heck I wrote a job aptitude test with my friend (former secondary school classmate) who did both bachelors' and masters' degree in the UK, at Imperial. Ask me why she return? She say no work! While another classmate of ours who finished from the US is now working with Oracle. After spending such huge sum of money to acquire same theoretical knowledge which one can still acquire for Naija, they will come back and start following us to drag the small jobs we have available. I've never seen anyone wey go Germany, graduate with better result wey come back this yeye country come de find work. 5 Likes |

modsNotAgainPls: ERMMM, for you to know these names which you quoted means you must have been following the German travel thread. Anyways, here is how the blocked account thingy works. After securing admission, you are required to transfer the sum of 8040EUR minimum to a german account which you have to open in your name. This money is your money and you are gonna use it to take care of your living expenses. This account is called a blocked account because you can only withdraw a maximum of 670EUR from it monthly. You can withdraw more however, but you'd need the authority of the alien office to do that. That said, you might not even use most of the money at all sef, as you could get mini jobs which you can use to take care of your living expenses. No go collect loan say wen youu reach Germany, you go return the money o..e no go work. The money must be in the account for minimum one year. If you choose to go to Norway however, then you can borrow money, reach there and return it back as Norway doesn't use blocked account. They require just a normal account where you transfer money to. But the sum you transfer to Norway is about 600k higher than that of Germany. FOR MORE INFO: GO JACK GERMAN VISA THREAD PART 1 AND 2. 2 Likes |

Please can we get back on track. Where is the whole Germany vs Uk thing coming from? The post is about the things one should consider before going to the UK for studies. It has now become uk vs germany, as a result those who have important questions or even contributions cannot say what they want to. For the guy that wrote that @Obiwann, nigeria is not a yeye country. It's simple if you want to go overseas, whether Ghana or Australia, please know the country well, and importantly have in mind what you are going there for. @Justwise was just making it clear that 8000Euros is not small money. How many Nigerians have #2,000,000? That was his point, lest people think they will go to Uk, or Germany or wherever in this world as an international student and think that they will hustle to pay for their studies, e no go work. u might say nothing is impossible, yes, but this one might even cost u ur life or force u into crime. I say this cos most of us think gold is on the streets of canada, usa, australia and all through europe. i laugh in ikwerre. 3 Likes |

kokegbe, what then is she? yeah 8k eur ain't small money, but in the end, the means would be justified. And who told u that if given the chance, many Nigerians studying in the UK wouldn't wanna remain after studies? Justwise was painting a different picture, trying to make people scared of Deutschland by saying repeatedly that it was'nt free tuition, when in reality the reverse is the case. 1 Like |

Obiwannn: Nigeria is the best place to make it in life for Nigerians. Any nigerian who struggles to make it here, will struggle to make it anywhere else. Quote me on that one. @Justwise came in cos people were saying education in germany is free, he made it clear that most schools are tuition free and then spelt out insurance money, 8k euros in blocked account, semester contributions etc......he was not bad mouthing german system at all, he didn't want people to be deceived, do you know the first time i heard of tuition free system i too thought i won't have to pay for anything.. |

mobuch: @Obiwannn @mobuch. I hope you know that in all these countries from New zealand to Australia to Canada to America, graduate jobs are scarce right now, just as it is in nigeria at the moment. Many nigerians are washing cars, working as factory hands, working as cleaners etc They do these in a foreign land with an MSc. If one can be so humble to do this, then why not in your home country? Lemme close by saying this, majority of nigerians who go overseas for studies intend to remain and work post-study. Please research your options carefully, there is no where in the world that people pick gold bars on the streets. The guy that say i should research, no p, i have and i can tell u that while u remain in canada sweeping malls, ur peers will buy lands and build houses here in naija, afterall u only earn just enough for taxes and upkeep in those small jobs overseas. It's definitely easier for nigerians to make it in nigeria cos no man will starve his citizen of employment and hire a foreigner. It's that simple. I know of people who after living in the Uk for 30years are barely getting along, no property to show, all they have is a red passport. Is that success. A guy in Canada confirmed on nairaland that one of his colleagues that got back after studies has now bought a car worth #6million and has a house of his own, but they over there are just surviving. See, if you are not a very brilliant student just like in nigeria again, getting a graduate job will be a struggle abroad as in naija. Don't get me wrong, things are hard here too, but i still insist that it's easier for nigerians to make it here than anywhere else. 2 Likes |

Lest we derail this thread, why can't there be a thread to discuss the easieast and surest countries for nigerians to go to ie for those who intend to immigrate permanently through the student visa to work permit route |
Re: 5 Things You Should Considered Before Coming To Study In The UK by Nobody: 11:32pm On Jun 17, 2015 |
kokegbe: Mr kokegbe, I have lived on both sides of the divide so I am making my points based on experience, u mention that some one bought a brand new car of 6million;how many highly paid workers in nigeria can afford a car of 6m, even your v.p(osinbajo) confessed dat he bought his 1st brand new car at d age of 49 in nigeria. Pls argue sensibly and with due respect, your points are not valid. Case closed. 2 Likes |
