Hello everyone, I would really like the help of the people living in France (Paris esp).

I am a prospective student at ParisTech Arts et Metiers this coming September. I have been gathering my documents for visa application but I am stuck on the issue of accommodation.

I have searched high and low for accommodation in Paris (Studapart, Appartager, leboncoin, pap.fr, room4talk etc) to no avail. I would really appreciate any help with regards to accommodation.

If you know anyone that is willing to rent a room out please kindly refer me. Thanks in advance

I have more international friends than you can think of but I relate with everybody on mutual terms and not one sided. White europeans have this air of superiority they carry around but can be nice if you come close to them but will always tolerate you but not celebrate you.
I think you have to redefine what you know about friendship. Europeans are nice but are not friendly this unlike Americans which are friendly but not nice. This is how we mislead our people and they make friends with the locals and at the end of the day they are set up for bad stuff. The only people I can vouch for is in the workplace or religious places. Anything outside that is 50 50. Dont mislead people, giving them false hope.
Having small talk with people is different from being friends with them. When you exchange numbers with them, they wont even call you unless it is important. This is unlike our people who will call to check up on you.
When I mean crumbling is when shit hits the fan, you will find out that you are all alone. At this point in time nobody needs friends with no emotional connection. You have people all around you but you feel alone. it is better you stick with your family or people of your race who share your sentiment.
I think you misunderstand me. You dont need the locals for anything. Europe is not Africa. If you want a job, apply for one and if you are qualified you will get. If you need direction use the map or you can ask and locals would be happy to help but dont think it is an invitation for friendship. If you need true[ friends join the local church dont allow this guy to deceive you that the locals are waiting for you with open arms.
I think it is safe to say you have low self esteem, always seeking for validation or acceptance. you would never find true happiness in doing so
it is like the op don't understand the way the whites behave, most people have said that the whites mind thier business a lot, for example someone said that your coursemate if he sees you in the street,he will behave he does not know you, that is not our culture, you see somebody you know,you exchange pleasantries, most of the whites commit suicide because of loneliness, there is one article l read in Awake, somebody died for 3yesrs in his apartment, nobody knew, it is when the landlord came to check him that he discovered,he has died for many years,we have different Nationals, not only whites, so choose the right friends.

Indians do not go stealing and prostutiting like Nigerians. They work.

Nigerians love to steal and are lazy and loud.

Hence it is better to avoid them if you can.
Nigerians, the male are thieves,while the females prostitutes

The job market is the same for any course. You finish, search and apply for jobs in your field, get called for an interview and get an offer.

Hello there,

I saw that you mentioned me on that other thread. Please I beg you, to abstain and leave me in peace. Your unceasing mentions on that thread are what are dragging me over there. As it pertains to that issue, if you are honest with yourself and really followed the topic You would know that I never came with a bad intention and that nigga attacked me first, when I did not even address him.

As a side note with respect to your question:

- there are good opportunities for business students after a master in France especially in the ile de France Region. Anything from Supply chain, Human ressource, finance is well sought after

- Studies in France are now more expensive than it used to be because of a recent legislation. Still people find their way around this.

- if you have a master in France, you only need 1-2 years and a job to get citizenship. In Germany that would rather be 6–8 years among other conditions. France is very beneficial in that respect for immigrants.

-France as a country is more socialist compared to Germany that is there are tons of governmental help and amenities. however in Germany wages tend to be higher.

Btw, I speak German French English and Spanish fluently.

Cheers.

Bro is there scholarship for undergraduate

I mentioned you just ones in that thread. My reason for doing that was to leave him in peace. he's only documenting HIS experience. If he's lying about somethings, we should learn to ignore it or tackle it by opening another thread for that than derailing other people's work.

If you feel I did that out of Asslicking him...NO. I was only advocating for peace.
I'm sorry if you feel offended.

If you would be advising a Prospective student, which one do you think is the best in terms of getting jobs and exposure between the two countries. Thanks

"A typical African is more likely to enjoy his social life in Germany than in France."


Do you mean to say: A typical African is more likely to enjoy his social life in France than in Germany.

Can a graduate with a science background and a postgraduate diploma in Human resources management apply for a Msc in a French university.

You did not mention me once, you mentioned me twice! And the second time was after I expressely asked you not to mention me there again, so as to leave me and the place in peace.

And Also, can you show me where I implied he lied about anything? Like I said, you obviously did not follow what happened!

I did not know a thread about Germany existed on nairaland, I came to the thread, and I did not even know him! I talked about Germans being family oriented and quite agreed with his position. Then I said, in my opinion such a discussion is not really helpful for prospective immigrants, only people who already live there with some stability may need to know about the core family values of the germans.

In all this, I had not talked to, nor addressed that your fellow! He came in at that point and started attacking me! If you really followed the discussion, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. I challenge you to say otherwise and prove it. And That is exactly why I talked about asslicking, because you guys do not stand for what is true, you only want to massage the ego of some would be dictator. The crux of this matter is that, your nigga just want to be in control and give himself a delusion of grandeur. No one else is allowed to express any opinion, especially a divergent opinion, and that is wrong.

If you want peace, work for justice - Pope Paul VI
You did not work for any peace, you joined him and insulted me, although I was the victim there. But it's fair enough, I am used to Nigerians anyway. I did not feel offended though, I am just setting the record straight.


What do you mean by jobs?

If you mean student jobs, then i would recommend Germany. If you mean permanent employment after studies, I think both countries offer similar opportunities for business students.

France is a better place to live in. The People are more used to african immigrants, the language is less difficult to learn and more spoken worldwide. French people are more open, more social, more fun to be with. Germans are quite closed, strict and extra rigourous. The country is quite cold and the ladies more shy (in comparison to french ladies). Even the weather in germany is colder than that of France. A typical African is more likely to enjoy his social life in Germany than in France. Even the German dressing code is horrible. French on the other hand always look neat, polished and stylish, something they share with their italian neighbors.

Germany is better in terms of economic performance, leadership and science in general. A student of IT, robotics, and similar fields of study, may prefer to go to Germany, but that is not the case.

If you have any other question, feel free.



No one is massaging anyone's ego. He was documenting his experience and what he noticed, so we can't disagree with him because we didn't live the experience with him. The sad part of it all is that, he reacted to all the criticisms like a kid. If you go through all my posts, you'll see that I don't go about mongering trouble. I was just infuriated because, a similar thread like his was closed due to criticism and unnecessary arguments. I didn't want the thread to suffer same fate (unfortunately, it has).

Thanks for your response. I think I love France more

MrBrownJay1:


yes but you have to understand that the RER B is the only way to the airport by public transport AND sadly also feeds all the banlieues nord La Courneuve and Aulnay) while passing through the main hub of the city (Chatelet, gare du nord). any day of the week at rush hr its madness in these areas...and best avoid it.

as for London, i have never like the city's public transport, at least now they have the Heathrow express, back in the day that Picadilly line ride from the airport to east or south London was A) fukcing expensive and b) lasted an eternity



yeah something is definitely not adding up, you are absolutely right... Sweden and Brazil didnt not take any special measures and both these countries have much lower infection/death rate. i do know that one of the reason we got so many cases are because of saying through "on s'fait la bise" and the arrogant people who didnt want to follow the simple social distancing measures. now they are saying that people cant jog during the day in Paris any longer (as if this is gonna change anything), and today they extended until god knows when (i doubt this will be solved anytime before the 11th of May)
Re: Living In France / Life As A French Résident by Oyinbopepper: 12:17pm On Jan 10, 2021
MrBrownJay1:


yes l'ïle de France is the most populated region in France and the most visited by foreign tourist, so its understandable that it is the worst hit region, but it was predictable....what i dont understand is that, cities like Nice for example, which are so close to the Italian border (and which we would assume would have a higher number of infected people) dont have so many cases....while places like Strasbourg closer to the German border have worst cases.

i think/hope the lockdown will start to be relaxed at the beginning of May, with restriction being eased off in places like the west of the country (which seem to have less cases) and later on in the other areas. you will be forced to wear a mask etc but life has to get back on track, as the gov cant continue like that.

Please, is the embassy in Abuja opened? If yes, what time/days.

I heard that France has dusk to dawn curfew (6pm - 6am indoors).



Can Nigerians travel from Nigeria to France during this pandemic? I heard that UK citizens are banned from entering France (because they have a deadlier strain of COVID-19), and USA citizens are banned from traveling into France due to high death rate and Trump mismanagement/unbelieve of the coronavirus. Due to this, I am not sure of the fate of Nigerian travelers.

The curfew times are correct.

If you live in France as a Nigerian, you can travel unrestricted to France, as long as you obey the Covid-19 protocol in place.
