Hello BaronQuinn. Do you mean MA in development studies in Passau? My friend is really worried at this point

Yes MA in development studies, i have like 2 other people that was offered admission. Tell her to mail those addresses i gave earlier.

Goodday all, pls is there Goethe institute in portharcourt or anywhere in the east i can take German course? feel free to share any info u have on this subject no matter how little. Thanks already

Thanks. Am not new here. This question is coming because of reports / impression that Dad site is not sorting well these days.
Seeking for confirmed info from someone in such program as output from dad dispays ONLY schools with Winter Session Admission which is practically gone now !
Am looking for that program against next semester resumption in next year 1st quarter.

If only you can wait till next winter instead of summer, it will brighten your chances. The only school and course that is related to anything computer at Bsc level for summer is Electrical Engineering and Information Technology • Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences • Weingarten and it is not fully taught in English, not under uniassit which bring about more competition. But during winter, you will see about 5 schools with ICT related courses even if it is not direct computer science. Shalom

My people una weldone ooo. Abeg make una non start another fight.

Blame the hard times in Nigeria and not german laws. These guys are kind enough to offer you free education. Blocked account is your money, you have access to it. The German authority just wanna be sure that you have adequate funds to care for your self due to several gist they get everyday "how rat chop person papa and mama and them swim Atlantic reach germo".

There are Nigerian students in UK, US, Canada, Australia paying over 10k dolls for just tuition and spend over 10k per year for upkeep. Make any body non run germo down. If germo too hard bro them non beg you jeje port somewhere else.

To those already in germany, if u know say e non good jeje go give them back your study permit and them go gladly put u for Lufthansa one way straight lagos.

Nija non regard their citizens and here is a country that offers free education and only want you to declare funds for your own upkeep.

God bless Germo jor!

The reason for complaining or blaming Germany is, human beings are insatiable. DB doesn't belong to German government, it is a private organisation. The real problem is from our government here who doesn't care about education and at the same time lack any headway about our economy. Paying 4m as school fees without upkeep and maintenance fees like seriously? When another is offering me something better at no cost? Even if nah half of the school fees which is 2milla, add maintenance fee join; Germany matter don settle be that nah . Not all European countries are smiling presently ooo. Make una shine una eyes before person move from fry pan to fire. Panel-beating those countries can't make them overtake Germany in this aspect now and may be in the future also. As far as this my Mummy's younger sister is still the chancellor (Aunty Merkel) , Germany all the way.

This German dream is not for the chicken hearted.

I'm not expecting an easy life in Germany - but a reward for hardwork. Not a reward for who you know or who your great-grand-father knows...

Know what you want and go for it...

I dey plane dey wait the rest of #teamwinter 2016 passengers.... I wish you guys luck.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, yesterday, suspended nine banks from further dealing in foreign exchange transactions, until they remit all outstanding Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, funds in their vaults into the Treasury Single Account, TSA. The nine banks were barred for concealing $2.12 billion belonging to the NNPC, and failed to remit the funds into the TSA as directed by the Federal Government. The action of the apex bank, however, is seen in some quarters as contradicting an earlier circular on the issue exempting NNPC from TSA. Bank The circular addressed to the Director, Banking and Payments System Department of the CBN, with FD/LP2015/C/ADC/20/1/ /DF as reference number, was dated September 14, 2015. It was signed by M. K. Dikwa for the Accountant-General of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Finance, Funds Department, Abuja. The banks, which suspension would remain in force until they remit all the funds to the TSA, are United Bank for Africa (UBA) ($530m); FirstBank of Nigeria (FBN) ($469m); Diamond Bank Plc ($287m); Sterling Bank Plc ($269m); Skye Bank Plc ($221m); Fidelity Bank ($209m); Keystone Bank ($139m); FCMB ($125m) and Heritage Bank ($85m). The CBN officials said further disciplinary actions awaited the erring banks after remitting the funds in full to the government’s coffers. Vanguard gathered that CBN governor was in Lagos, yesterday, for meetings with banks’ Managing Directors to brief them on the development. It was further learned that at the meeting, issues were raised concerning some of the banks that were not listed but it was later learned that further investigations on their transactions were to be carried out. It was also learned that President Muhammadu Buhari had been briefed on the matter before the sanctions being imposed on the defaulting banks were arrived at. The nine banks comprise three old generation banks and another six new generation banks. The TSA of the government was established in August 2015, with the government saying it would help check leakages in the system. The apex bank’s decision to bar the banks comes two months after it released the highlights of the much awaited flexible foreign exchange market policy. The highlights, which are key notes and agreements reached by the CBN, were released on Wednesday, weeks after the Monetary Policy Committee, MPC, announced the introduction of the policy. After its meeting of May 24, the CBN said the policy would allow banks retain a small portion of foreign exchange for critical transactions. Banks officials react Speaking on the issue, some of the banks officials said the understanding was that NNPC was exempted from the TSA. They said the Federal Government had exempted 13 government agencies from the TSA arrangement related to electronic or e-collection and mop-up exercise of government funds from commercial banks. A circular exempting the agencies was communicated to the CBN from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF). The exempted agencies of government are “profit-oriented government business entities that pay dividends to the Federal Government of Nigeria.” Exempted agencies The exempted agencies are: NNPC, Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Bank of Industry (BoI), Nigeria Railway Corporation, Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, Bank of Agriculture, Niger Delta Power Holding Company/National Integrated Power Project, National Communication Satellite Limited, Galaxy Backbone Ltd and Ajaokuta Steel Company Ltd. Others are Urban Development Bank, Nigerian Export-Import Bank and Transcorp Hilton Hotel. The circular, entitled: “Approval to exempt some MDAs in line with the e-collection mop-up exercise,” read: “Approval is hereby granted to your bank (CBN) to exempt the accounts of 13 MDAs (category six) as listed below the mop-up in line with the e-collection circular no. HCFSF/428/S.1/120 dated 7th August 2015 as these are profit-oriented government business entities that are to pay their dividends into the Treasury Single Accounts whenever they are declared.” The circular urged the CBN to “note that in line with the presidential approval, the following, as it relates to NNPC as listed above (S/No.9) under Category 4 should also apply: “That National Petroleum Invetsment Management Services (NAPIMS) remains classified as an MDA that is funded from the Federation Account under Category 4 of the Circular, being the NNPC business unit responsible for the management of the Federal Government’s investment in upstream activities and funded from direct proceeds of oil and gas revenue. “That NNPC will continue to preserve the status with respect to NAPIMS’ Operations Account as well as Escrow Account for Third Party financing, in view of the Joint Venture (JV) cash funding currently being experienced; and that all other NNPC’s commercial/business entities as re-classified as ‘Profit Oriented Public Corporations/Business Enterprises’ under Category 6 of the Circular which requires that only dividends from these entities be paid into the TSA.” When contacted, Mr Ohi Alegbe, the then spokesman for the NNPC, had said the NNPC would continue, as it had always done, to remit its accruals into the Federation Account but that the JV cash-call obligations with its partners would use commercial banks and not the CBN. Chinedu Moghalu of NEXIM confirmed that NEXIM had been exempted from the TSA scheme while Shola Adeyemo of Transcorp Hilton Hotel said the firm was “aware of such a directive.” An official of BoI, who pleaded not to be named, said as a developmental institution, BoI did not fall into that category. He noted that BoI managed intervention funds on behalf of the CBN as a result, the BoI will have to be exempted from the TSA arrangement. It will also be recalled that the NNPC had denied any wrongdoing over its failure to remit about $13.294 billion to the federation account over a nine-year period, stating that the funds were utilized legally in running its operations, while the balance of the funds had been transferred to the CBN. UBA, Diamond banks react Reacting to the development, UBA said in a statement issued last night: “Our attention has been drawn to report of the ban of UBA from the foreign exchange market by the CBN over the non-remittance of NNPC/NLNG dollar deposits. “We wish to state very categorically that UBA has completely remitted all NNPC/NLNG dollar deposits. We thank all our numerous customers, business partners and other stakeholders who have reached out to us on account of this report.” Competence sources close to Diamond Bank revealed that the bank never hid the account from the CBN and had always been open about it.

hello brothers. .much greetings to you all..I confidently pray our heart desires will be granted smoothly IJN. Amen. lost my phone and missed out on many things..just logged in..I could have read through past threads but it's so urgent that I'd need an urgent and accurate response from you guys so as to convey to my waiting friend in Deutschland..Please.
its about the sponsorship process/issue.
Please how does the sponsorship process works? Does the sponsor has to be a Germany citizen or just a german resident with a full time job or a student?
How would the sponsor go about the process in Germany? and what is the actual amount that's meant to be in the sponsor's account to qualify for sponsorship? What if the sponsor is married or still single? What's the criteria for Sponsorship?
How would this sponsorship process speed up visa processing? because this Db process seems difficult, expensively annoying nd tricky, no thanks to naija matters. .
thanks peeps...expecting response soon. .One Love

iii guys. Anyone here who applied for University of Bayreuth? Did my Skype video call interview 2 Fridays ago..not heard from them till now about my admission status. hope the interview won't affect my chances? hopefully I'll hear from them soon. Maybe this week. . still want to know full details about the sponsorship process also.. whether the sponsor is married or still single in Germany. thanks

Evening here, please I need help oo. Tu ilmenau told me they already have a decision concerning my application but they were requesting for university entrance qualification and school leaving certificate, na masters I wan go do and I am confused on wat they were actually referring to, is it my jamb admission and secondary school certificate or na the university certificate them deh request for? Thankz 4 all d great work una deh do here.

@Bandeco I think I get ur point from the very beginning and ur research prowess is somtin I like about u, please try to research n read wella before attacking one's comment blindly. I believe some pple are researching the opportunities in ds two countries mentioned. It is about dat tym we diversify not only our economy but also our school search or do we wait till the embassy tell us no admission for Nigerians ds winter semester just like they have for visa appointment. No get me wrong Germany will forever remain a foremost country but there is no sin in placing one's eggs in different baskets. We need more information @Bandeco n co

Hi house, I have just been given Phd Scholarship in a school in Germany, please how do I go about the visa application?

Hello house, I've been following this thread for a while now and i must say I'm very happy with how useful we can be to each other.

I have little issues though, i graduated with a third class and i know i cant get a masters in Germany, but can i start from the scratch if i get the chance so my questions thus

1) can i get an admission with my waec and 1st degree transcript
2) i have an uncle in Germany who is willing to send the sponsorship letter, will that be sufficient or do i still need money in my account or blocked account?
3) do i need TOEFL?

Thanks.

Point of correction! The unprecedented surge in the number of study visa request at the consulate led to the "unavailability" of visa appointment dates.

Again, it is not their fault.

You can always divert to Kosovo, but na to fix our education system sure pass.

Thank you. She has emailed them several times but they don't give her any concrete response. I just want to know, when did you apply and also when did they get back to you? She said she sent her documents to Uni assist in June.

Did they send you an email or post? She's been crying ever since because she was waiting and checking her email everyday to hear from the school. Your response will be much appreciated

@unclejudax I think that ur point of correction is enough a reason pple should start looking at these oda countries, if som pple can afford it why not let them give a trial and open up spaces for dose teeming Nigerians like mysef who couldn't look elsewhere but Germany. The point I'm trying to make will always remain search everywhere possible even if it is Kosovo or Albania.

Good morning, i applied in may through uni assist and they got back to me in June through email. What response did she get after sending her applications?

Schwartz and Biglord , now Bandesco and Chinok . Okay, Kontinue (In patience Jonathan's voice)

Guys..is it possible for some one to travel through the Germany border without holding any Euro..my friend intend to change it at the airport when she get to germany..this is because she cannot afford to buy the euro from the black market at N455 per euro as at today...will they allow her pass the border..if she present her statement of account and her MASTER CARD?

Schwartz, we are missing your view points on some issues here. Please come back.

She should check Abokifx.com to see the amount bank charges on ATM, that would form the basis of her decision whether to buy or use ATM card for withdrawal.


Haven't you heard that ATM machines seize ATM card?should that happenened (God forbid), what would be her fate?

My candid opinion is that she should just buy between 100-200euros, she may need it for emergency.

The bone of contention is FiNANCE. It has always been where to acquire world class education without having to "sell a kidney"

People are going to Germany because it is relatively more affordable than other Major international study destinations.

With all those monies I have to pay to study in Sweden, I would rather do Canada, Aussie, USA and the like.

So, Germany is perfectly ok for me.
