Just to add, some of your famous Nigerian celebrities are escorts too. They come here as tourists, they escort and take the money back to Nigeria to live big. A lot of boys who live on the Island too do it.

Nigerians in Germany and abroad in general, I have a question.

Do you feel settled in Germany or where you live? I see Nigerians here who live in a room in shared apartment but they’re building houses and buying cars in Nigeria and sending all their money to Nigeria. They probably would not live in the house they’re building in Nigeria and they don’t intend to return to Nigeria to live. So what’s the purpose?

I’ve always believed in enjoying my money cos life is short and I make myself at home anywhere I live. I don’t see why I’ll be working hard in Germany but live like a pauper and all my money will be going to Nigeria, I’ll be buying cars in Nigeria that I won’t drive. Or a house that I’ll only stay in when I visit once in a year.

I want to hear your thoughts on this.

I can only speak for my parents. They've completely settled in here. They gave the house we had in Nigeria to my aunt and bought a house here. Their reason is the same as yours. Also all their kids grew up here and none of us plan on settling down in Nigeria. Mum always says her home is where are kids are.

As for me, if I am to build a house outside Germany, it's definitely not going to be Nigeria grin I prefer Ghana. I don't think it's a bad thing, it's a nive investment, that's if you have the money. Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense, especially since a reverse culture shock might make you realize, that home is probably no longer Nigeria

Black girls here are hard to understand. Some of them date white boys, some are not interested in anybody, whether white or black. They don’t trust black men. The ones who have papers always think any black man coming close to them only wants document.

You will find most of them in the African churches doing God’s work until they get pregnant for a brother in the church and eventually marry.
Some of them just get pregnant for white men to get papers and be single moms. They refuse to get a job either because they get child support and money from the government. All they do is sit at home and rub cream.

Black marriages here also mostly end up in disasters. The black men bring their wives from Nigeria, they think they can control the wife like they would in Nigeria, but the Nigerian girl becomes exposed and don’t take the bullsh*t. Marriage ends in disaster.

There’s also a lot of domestic violence in black marriages, black men beating their wives. I’ve seen that one. Sometimes the wife will not want to call police on her husband so he won’t get in trouble, but the foolish man will keep beating her.
Such marriages usually become topic of gossip in Afro shops.

Those last two paragraphs are so true, I knew you were gonna touch on this. A Nigerian man was deported for consistently beating his wife, as in straight back to his village in Nigeria!.


Nigerian men who want to bring their wives to Germany should know that once she gets here, she is definitely going to change, you can't control her!.

As a foreigner you should be careful not to get into trouble, some offences might earn you a deportation sharp sharp.

I knew this Nigerian man who stayed more than 6 months in Nigeria before returning to Germany. If you are not a citizen, you are not allowed to spend more than 6 months outside Germany only on special occasions.

Anyway, this man came back to Germany and he was threatened with deportation, he sued the foreign office and won but guess what?, he was still deported.

My dad and his friends had to donate money to him so he can start business in Nigeria.

Well, we all expected that. We have been hearing what Nigerians do abroad especially ones without papers. I don't think anyone will be surprised.

I think it depends on the kind of residence permit you have. With the Blue card its 12months.

This one may offend some people but this thread is about knowledge and honesty. Please no judgement either.

There’s a lot prostitution going on here, we call them “Escort”. Both black men and women do it. It is a top secret and they’ll never tell you. You’ll just see that one black friend that has no job but is always traveling around and spending money. Well, if you look closely, they are escorts.

Most black men who do it are refugees and those without papers, who can’t get a job but have to survive. They are also mostly straight guys and they sleep with white men. Some of them have wives back home in Nigeria. They make A LOT of money from it, even more than those with jobs. They can make up to €150 - €200 an hour or €1000 overnight for sex. Imagine when you sleep with 10 people in a day.

Prostitution in Germany is legal but you’d have to pay tax because it is considered a job. Most of them don’t pay tax though. The police in Germany turn a blind eye to those things. They have more important things to worry about. Some of the boys/girls also come from Italy. They escort around Europe and go back to Italy where they live. Some countries like Switzerland give them tough time.

Some of them have gotten in trouble where their clients overdosed on drugs, or the clients call police on them after the agreement goes bad. Some also steal from the clients. The police don’t give these cases top priority.
Not only blacks do this. There are more Latino and white escorts as well. So yeah, there it is.

I knew it, there is this guy I know who always travels a lot, almost every weekend he is visiting a city in Europe. I just felt things didn't add up.
Because he wasn't from a rich family to afford such luxuries. Well, this may just be his form of hustling.
Inside life!

Mehn, is this is a prank, or what? If you have been paying attention, you should have read this reply, You should've just asked about the town and leave it at that. How do you expect him to give you a life-changing decision? When he literally doesn't even know you.

A simple google search will answer this question.

https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/jobs/taxes/income/
https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/germany/individual/taxes-on-personal-income....... etc


Asking for his opinion may not give you the desired or exact information you require, since he is not a tax expert.

I'm not playing any prank whatsoever. I am serious about the post.
The other info on the post was just additional details. my main question was what Mr Daniel thinks of the town.
A simple advice on a town in Germany isn't a life changing decision and I don't think anyone needs to know anyone in person before helping with info

Berlin in pictures, today.

This is Tempelhofer Feld. It used to be an Airport. The government wanted to build houses here but Germans refused, so they made it an open park to relax and chill. More pictures coming under...
