Sorry man, you're not used to the usual Nairaland thing. I apologize on their behalf.
Even though I don't have any interest in Germany, I've learnt a lot from every piece of information you shared, I appreciate you for that, I really do.
Take some time off and check back again, the trolls will be gone.
Stay safe out there man.

There seems to be no Austria student visa thread, you can create one and ask your questions there. You'll get more contributions and other people that are interested will learn from there too.
My 2 cents.

this is because the seat of satan is in Berlin. The remains of An accident temple where pegans use to sacrifice humans, called the seat of satan was excavated from turkey and moved to Berlin, many years ago and it now sits in a museum of its own. What's more interesting is that it was after aldolf Hitler visited this museum, he was "inspired" to do all he did to the jews leading to the death of millions of jews, burnt alive, in burning chambers, sacrifice style. If you doubt, please go ahead and do your study and research on this. It is safe to say Berlin is the devils city, with countless demons infesting lost souls. You said it yourself, all those praises of yours about Berlin is nothing short of demonic Fiesta. I do pray that salvation comes to Berlin. It will not be easy as there will be countless spiritual princes to fight.

Just saw that your thread has been closed, Justwise mistook 'Austrian' for 'Australian'.

But why not try Germany, I was just doing some research for you and I saw where someone said "if you can afford Germany's blocked account you can afford Austria". That 'might' mean that Germany is a better option financially.

If you still prefer Austria then search for Emmanuelosa and try get in touch with him.

Hahaha it is really like that, except that it’s real life and you’re the actor. So if you die, you die for real. If you survive, you survive. If they knock you down, you get up and try again. But I tell you, there are days you’ll wake up and just smile and thank God you’re here. Peace of mind, even from walking around, your spirit will be calm like a river. Beauty everywhere.

For 4 years I did not sweat, even in the gym. It’s just in the last 2 years I started sweating because the summer got hotter. You know what it means to live in a place for 7 years and light never went off, not even for 1 second. Internet to do whatever you want and watch anything you want without buying recharge card.
Your attitude will also change, you’ll become calmer and less troublesome. Even noise making will start to disgust you. You can lay on the ground and your cloth won’t get dirty. No mosquito.

Danielhouston:
Hey guys, I just joined Nairaland. I’m a Nigerian living in Berlin, I studied here and have been living in Germany for almost 7 years now. I’ll be happy to tell you about life in Berlin and Germany in general. I’ve traveled around Germany and lived in Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf, Kassel, Berlin.

I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Just be ready to get some raw undiluted answers cos I’m not here for wishy-washy happy moments. I’ve seen it all and experienced a lot in Germany and Europe. Good and bad. I’ll tell you as it is. I will share my experience about being black in Berlin and Germany in general.

Pls if you have questions about visas, application, study requirements etc.... I will not answer them. There are available threads for those questions. This is strictly about life in Germany and the black experience. I also will not reply to any private messages, as I don’t believe in favoritism. My opinions will be for everyone to see.

I implore other black people in Germany to share their experience here as well. I have a busy schedule and may not be here every time but I’ll try my best. That’s why I urge other blacks living in Germany to contribute to the post.

Thank you all.

Germans see Nigerians as Africa and Africa as poor people who need help. Fraudster is not what comes to their minds. They see Ghanaians as fraudsters because many of them have been scammed by Ghanaians in the name of cyber love and marriage.
Many of them don’t even know anything about Nigeria. Nothing at all. They just know on the map that it’s in Africa and Africa is poor. When you tell them you’re from Nigeria, they first pronounce it in German and say “oh Africa....”

But you see these white girls that parade Afro clubs looking for black boys to tidy them, those ones know what’s up. They even know Nigerian food. One German girl came to my house once. I was about to eat. She saw my food and said “ah Egusi, I like egusi and pounded yam...” She told me her ex was Nigerian.
I pursue the girl from my house. Oya madam, carry your jacket and go.
Why is that most of us abroad once he meet a lady whose dated a Nigerian... Its a turn off.
It's a real turn off for me too here in South Africa...
Once u say u dated a naija.. Mo ma japa.. Recently I met some lady we chatting online n she's like I love Nigerians song n started singing teni's song. So I asked her.. U dated a Nigerian n she said yes... Immediately she said I know it's a turn off for u

I will not give all the information because this is a public forum and I want to remain anonymous. But before I left Nigeria, I saved my NYSC money every month and managed. I told my friends I wanted to travel, they laughed at me. But I was determined. I got international passport and just kept it, even though I had no means. Getting that Nigerian passport was my motivation every day.

I used my NYSC money to apply to schools. I applied to 27 schools, got rejected by all of them. My money finished. My friends said I was crazy but I didn’t give up. I used the last money I had to apply to another University but I didn’t give it any hope. I didn’t hear from them.

My spirit just told me to send the school an email about my application. I did and they replied. They said they offered me admission and sent me a letter since 3 months ago. And the school was about to resume. Turns out my letter was in Nipost. Stupid people threw it one corner.
I went to Nipost and begged them to look for it, gave the man money. He eventually found it after 2 weeks. Then it was late. I didn’t have money to travel anyway.

I emailed the school and they agreed to move my admission to the next semester. I was happy. Then I started hustling for money and selling property and praying. One rich Igbo man I used to greet and wash his car sometimes, one day he shook my hand and gave me money. I opened it and it was $600. I thought I was dreaming or he made mistake. But it was true. I knew it was God at work.

I eventually got enough money, went for interview, I didn’t know anything or anybody in Germany. Did all my research online every night. I was buying recharge card just solely for research. I did interview and kept hoping.
I was in Ikeja under bridge eating egg roll and drinking coke, when I got the message from German embassy to come with travel insurance. I knew it was visa. All the while, I didn’t tell anybody. I kept it all to myself.

I went on Facebook and joined apartment groups for people in Germany and found a room with some German guys before I left Nigeria. I went shopping, got my ticket. First time traveling abroad, I was sweating like Jackie. I changed my money at the airport. Before I boarded the plane, I went to toilet to sh*t out everything about Nigeria.

I arrived Dubai and took another flight to Frankfurt. Germany was so cold. I didn’t even know what train looked like or how to read signs. But thanks to my Android phone, google maps and translate showed me everything. I asked some people about the train and went to my city.

I used google maps to locate the flat and rang the bell. Met the German guys and they showed me my room. They said I’ll stay for 3 days then they’ll decide if they like me as a flat mate or not. They later liked me and I lived with them. They helped me with everything about registration, bank account, insurance, transport, they taught me everything. They even drove me to buy things for my room. I met their friends as well.
They took me to the stadium for the first time in my life, being in a stadium watching a match live.

I eventually went to my school and my life started from there. I made lots of mistakes and got lost many times in Germany. I suffered o. People used me and threw me out of their house. Even Nigerians. Even the Nigerian church I was attending, they helped me but they almost destroyed me.
Na here we dey today and the rest is history.
One thing have realized about nigerian churches abroad.. As a newbie, they'd hardly help u n only after the lil u have to donate as tithe n offerings..
The reason I stopped attending nigerian churches
