I read Danielhouston stories like a novel.

It is what you can read even with a headache and you feel better. How do you flow with ease while writing? If only you knew how enjoyable your style of writing is.

Lol. The thing is, I write the way I speak. I don’t talk too much because I listen more and study people. So when I put it in writing, I don’t have to beat around the bush or make it long. I go straight to the point and already know the words to describe what I want to say.

@ Bolded. Sir could you please explain better. Why do you think playing football in Germany is a waste of time?

That is the dream of every African guy in Europe, who has no plan of getting a job. Including the ones who arrived in Italy by boat. They believe they can play football and all their problems will go away. You’d just live your life on empty promises and go for training until Jesus comes. You still won’t make it to any league.

Secondly, Germany is a football country. Some of the best players are in Germany and they don’t need to find more from outside. You can see that in the World Cup. There is also a lot discrimination in football. Their racist fans will attack the black players during the match. A lot of clubs try to avoid that controversy. Even Turkish players here are suffering it.

Lastly, you’ll end up not contributing anything to the system. That would affect your chances of getting a residence permit or citizenship. You’ll spend every day believing tomorrow is the day you’ll get lucky. Before you know it, 10 years have passed by and you’ve achieved nothing.

I’ll go now to enjoy my weekend. I’ll check in at some point to answer some questions.

Next week we shall talk about “Types of Black people in Germany”. It’s gonna be messy and interesting. You don’t wanna miss it.

May God keep us alive until then... Take care and stay safe.

I know a few tailors but they’re white. They usually struggle to get jobs because you can’t make clothes and sell to people individually. People won’t buy them. The tailors make clothes and offer samples to clothing companies who can either buy them or reject them. That is a long shot. But I think it would be creative to make African clothes and have them sold in stores.
A lot of it has to do with the quality of material. So be ready to spend a lot of money on good material. No store will sell your product if it’s trash.
thank u Dan man,actually also meant African trado or casual clothes..
thanks for kind response

Life in Cologne is a fraction of what Berlin is. Cologne is also a big city surrounded by smaller cities and great for traveling around West Germany and other cities like Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels. It is also a tourist destination, especially around the cathedral.

There is always something going on in Cologne every weekend, either an exhibition or a protest. You can visit Cologne on a weekend and hope to have a good time, only to hear that there’s a protest going on and the police are everywhere. I hate that. They are always complaining about something. If it’s not vegans, it is fur, or right wing politics.

They say they are friendly people but I don’t accept that. They are very pretentious and fake. They are also more racist than Berliners. They just hide behind that image of the West being more open minded. However, it is safe. You can also get by with English language, as there are a lot of tourists there. I don’t consider the Germans there to be good looking. It’s like all the washed up Berliners moved to Cologne to retire.

You will also see a lot of black male escorts there because of the vibrant gay scene. So when you see that African guy that says he’s just visiting for a weekend and he can’t explain his job, you know what he came for.
Rent is quite expensive and so is the lifestyle. You can easily find a job there and be able to go to nearby cities like Dusseldorf for work. It is not really a student city. The young people you’ll find there are mostly tourists and they stay in hostels, specifically A&O hostel.

In general, I would recommend Cologne. It is a great place to live and work. It is beautiful. Lots of companies and good salary. You can also get a job at the Airport. And if you’re gay, you will have the time of your life in Cologne. If you’re homophobic, fix your homophobia or stay away. That is a renowned gay city.

I like that your entries capture the gay scene instead of concentrating on hetero relationships alone like alot of travelanders do..
Trust me, many people on nl travel section are dreaming of leaving because they LGBT and the unfavorable anti gay law and this your thread is doing justice at giving good info although some people might be insinuating you might be gay for having the topic almost everytime you post lol.

Be like say I go dey go do escort o. All the free fuccck we are giving in naija chai. Even if person wan pay for naija. U go dey fear make e no be ritual. Lol

Keep up the work.

There’s no way I’ll talk about life in Germany and not talk about the gay people. They are a huge part of Western society and they are visible. People can choose to ignore that topic but anyone coming into Germany should be aware that gay people are prominent here and they are very visible. They love openly and have rights.

I am also aware that there are gay people reading my thread and I’m happy about it. That is why I try to provide them with information as well, including Asylum information. I believe in equality and everybody must be carried along. Whether or not it offends other people, I don’t care. I will keep talking about them when I need to.

I also don’t care if anyone has suspicions about my sexuality. I am a hetero man and I’m sure of myself. I have a lot of gay friends and nothing has changed. I used to be homophobic when I was in Nigeria but living in Germany has changed that conditioning. I have become more loving and accepting of everyone. I have also learned to live and let live. This month I will be attending gay pride with my friends, to support them. There is no room for hate here.

Whether anyone likes it or not, gay people are here. They are your boss at work, your doctor when you’re sick, the guy at the bar, the waiter in your favorite restaurant, the visa officer at the Foreigners office, your professor, your lawyer when you’re in trouble. You cannot avoid them.
You can hate all you want and that hate will eat you up. If you attack them, you go to prison.

So yeah, I will not stop talking about them on this thread whenever necessary. All humans should be treated with equal dignity, regardless of their sexual orientation.

oga, I schooled in all boys seminary School..

Humans can be influenced into indulging in same sex activities..
Take it or leave it

I believe this. There a lot of gay escorts who are straight and do it for the money. Some of them got introduced into it. They are not romantically attracted to men and they have girlfriends. They just engage in sexual activity with other men, get paid and move on. They treat it like a job. A lot of them are Nigerians and they will never tell you.

I don’t judge, I just advice them to be careful with their health. What I don’t like though, is when they have girlfriends or wives. If you want to have sex with men, live your life, but don’t put your bullshit on any woman. It is wrong to deceive a woman who loves you. I hate that. Some of them have infected innocent women with HIV.
