error4040: Well the thing is, at some point I’ll cover all the topics and there’ll be nothing left to share. I won’t be telling you what I ate in the morning and what I’m doing at the moment. I won’t be here forever. Other people will carry on from where I stopped and the information I’ve shared will be valid for people who will see it in the next 5 years. That is a legacy. 71 Likes 3 Shares |

Danielhouston: Ofcourse, loads of us did. Hi, got to Germany last year winter, been on your thread for a while but school work's got me so hooked, given its online and diff lecturers employed diff teaching means, some zoom, some on YouTube, some recorded lectures on forums where you are mandated to discuss for Marks. Was ashamed when you wrote the Hamburg hbf isnt a very clean place because it's true but if you move little northwest towards jungfernsteig, that's where the beauty lies. Hamburg is linked to the river Elbe housing the largest port in germany and third largest In europe, so we have a very nice collection of waterside views. Believe me, it's a beautiful city! All I can say about the education is, they build your confidence, you cannot pass through their system and not know what you're doing. It's really impossible. I'm glued to your page, can't really contribute because of school and work and I'll say; YOU'RE DOING THE LORD'S work! Viel spaß 25 Likes |

Danielhouston: Exactly and life happened to them all...there's always some sort of adrenaline at the beginning then you lose interest except you get some value in return. Value keeps people contributing. I see some value on your page that brought me out of my shell, I am here already, now i need info on the way forward and not repeat the mistakes my predecessors made by learning from their experiences. 3 Likes |

Danielhouston:Gazillions of Nairalanders have left the country We keep seeing testimonies on every travel thread, some had time to create their own thread and document their experiences and adventures, others just pop in someone else's thread and be like "thank God I left that shithole" So yeah, Nairaland have helped many. There were times VOs were on this forum answering questions regarding visas. The information here is just...(no word for it) 20 Likes 1 Share |

IchBinBrait:Thanks bro for finding something learnworthy from me. Two or three people here were abusing me and my personality over the same post that you lernt somthing from, the post that has the HIGHEST number of LIKES on this thread.(From page 1 to the end so far) I read all thier insults on my personality, but fortunately enough, NOT all Nairalanders/Nigerians are foolish, I didn't and will never come down low to the level of exchanging abuse or insults with anyone on Nairaland. For the person that asked if Nairaland has actually helped some people (either to travel or otherwise) the answer is Capital Yes! I registered on Nairaland in 2011, I am more of a reader. I bought my last car when I was in Nigeria from Nairaland Autos section. Thanks alot to Nairaland because I bought the very clean Lexus RX330 far more affordable than car stands and till today I am very close to the seller (he might be reading this too from India where he now bases). Although Nairaland didn't actually play any huge role in my traveling proces, but I got a very good information here that helped me handle an issue of settlingdown here. In that regard I want to use this opportunity to offer a help to any Nairalander that just landed and is currently in dire need of where to stay in Germany in a SHORT time inorder to finish with the PROCESS of GETTING his/her OWN Student or private apartment(The bolded are the conditions, and will be proved first). Secondly if there is any Nairalander that lives in Köln, we can have some drinks(on my head). I will be traveling to Köln by coming Monday 18th May for a serious Interview on Tuesday 19th (man must always be upgrading in career). So we can meet on Tuesday afternoon at my Hotel which is located close to Köln Central Train Station. Lest I forget, as for your question about my English...sorry if I wrote with mistakes or not to your expected standard...lols and Yes it can have an unsolicited effect oh. One can unknowingly be mixing up a few words of Deutsch into English or even into his/her local Naija dialects..It sounds funny and could be embarrassing but it's so true. There is a fluent English-speaking German lady i have as frend here (she studied English as a course in the University). So many times has she been seriously stucked during a discussion struggling to remember a common Deutsch word. When she finally remembers it or you end up remembering it for her, she would say with a slight shame "Oh Gott, English!!" Unfortunately it happens to her often, so take it vice versa.

Ugoerico: Look, you can blab all you want but I know your kind. This is the first time I’ve taken time to reply to someone’s gibberish on this forum and that is because nothing about you sits well with my spirit. Having many likes on your comment does not make it a fact. The average desperate Nigerian will believe he can “hustle” his way out of racism, if they’re “determined”. Well, until they travel out and experience it. So your “likes” from such people don’t mean sh*t. I’ve never met you and I don’t know you but I can read through you from your words. You’re the kind of “black people” I met when I arrived Germany. Sneaky and proud. You pose like a boss and act like you’re saving a life but all you want is for someone to owe you and give you a bragging point. You’re also the type to sell people off, while pretending to help. People may think I’m crazy but I know what I’m talking about. The fact that you’re even going through 23 pages of this thread, counting your “likes”, already tells me what I need to know and more. And that “person” you’re referring to, has a user name which is “Danielhouston”. Now you can take your Uncle Tom charity a$$ and get off my thread. People be careful. And Justwise, pls don’t delete this. People need to see it. 40 Likes 5 Shares |

Deltayankeeboi: You really hate Nigeria hahaha. I won’t blame you. I was in Nigeria last year and I cried. When my friends told me about the struggle, I thought they were just being grumpy. But I saw it with my eyes and Nigeria is worse than when I left. Since I returned to Germany, I’ve been restless. Any time I go out and want to party, I imagine how my €20 can pay someone’s salary in Nigeria so they won’t have to risk their lives every morning under the sun for 8 hours, sit in traffic for 2 hours and go home to darkness. It is also part of the reason I searched and found this forum. It is well. E go better 36 Likes 5 Shares |

1beat: People who cannot pay their bills due to the lockdown will be given a pass. That is, the ones who had jobs and were paying bills before the lockdown. Those who lost their jobs can register at the job center, where they will receive unemployment money to pay bills and sustain themselves and their health insurance will be paid for them. But they will not pay your debts The business owners and freelancers will receive money from the government to make up for their losses and pay their employees. Those unable to pay their house rent will not be evicted. They can live rent-free for 3 months (from April) and pay their rent in arrears. PS: international students will not receive government assistance as far as I know (don’t know if that has changed), because it is assumed that you can sustain yourself, which was part of your visa requirements 1 Like 1 Share |

jesmond3945: You’d have to keep paying your semester fees of about €220 to €300 (depending on your University). That is nothing compared to 2 extra years of living in Germany, plus after studies visa, and how your life can change in that time. I know people who got married before they finished studying and they changed their status. Just don’t be a student forever. Some people even apply to another University after they finish the first one. They’ve been students for almost 6 years. Total waste of time in the name of visa. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Please don't be deterred by negative commentors and empty barrels that only come here to hit us over the head with their 'success' and call us stupi.d for still being in Nigeria. God bless you.
