Scaremongers have completely succeed in misleading you with their inaccurate and extreme rhetoric.

Let's be clear here, racism in Germany is not as bad as as this guys exaggerate.

Types of Black people in Germany

1. The “Johnny just come”. These ones just landed in Germany for the first time. In most cases, their first time ever traveling abroad. You will know them by the way they dress and how they take pictures every minute.
The ones from Nigeria, Congo, Ivory Coast, those ones can dress up for Jesus. The Ghanaians usually dress like they just jumped out of 1975 and nobody warned them. But I’ll focus on Nigerian students.

These ones think they’re Wizkid. They wear different shoes every day and their wrist watch must stick out. They must make sure there’s a white person in the background of all their pictures. They don’t want to hang with other Nigerians or be around other Black people.
They only want to make white friends and they can’t wait to get a white girlfriend. Some of them have only one black friend who takes them pictures.

They also speak with fake accent and they’re too ashamed to say they’re from Nigeria. You will see them in every University party and Campus photo, and they’re usually the only Black person in the group photo. They like to dance and show off for their white friends. They see other Nigerians as local people with low IQ, and they’ll almost never go to an African shop to buy anything.

They want to do things their white friends do. Like, go bike riding, travel at the weekend, play ping-pong, pizza night, etc. You know Germans think every black person who dresses well and speaks good English, is from America. These type of Black people always get excited when people mistake them to be Americans.

One day I met a Nigerian guy who had British accent. He almost fooled me. I didn’t even know he was Nigerian until his friends introduced us. Even the way he pronounced his name “Emeka”, with a foreign accent, it sounded so cute.

I thought he was born in the UK, but this guy had never been to the UK. He just arrived from Nigeria with a British accent. He told his friends that Nigerians speak with British accent because we were colonized by the British. They believed him.
At that point I was ready to throw beer on his head.

Danielhouston:
Then there are the Edo girls from Nigeria. These ones just arrived from Italy and don’t know where they’re going. They are always lost, looking for direction. You will see them at the bus station or train station, asking for directions.

When you see that Edo girl that stops you on the road like, “hello brother, pls how can I go to this place?”, you already know what she came for. In most cases, they’ll tell you their life story. “Somebody put me in the bus and say I should go here, but I don’t know when am I”.
That “somebody” is usually a man and they’ll even call the man so you can talk to him. He bought their ticket and they probably work for him.

The last one I met was in January. She was supposed to go to Hamburg and she got off in Berlin. She didn’t know where to go. I told her she needed another bus to Hamburg and she was in the wrong city. But then, she’d have to buy a ticket. Her “brother” bought the ticket and sent to her. She stressed me out that day.

She eventually asked me if she could follow me home. I replied her in my Chinese accent “no no no no, me no want, me no want”.

Dande55:

Please Daniel, did you get work experience in Nigeria before travelling to Germany? Does having work experience in Nigeria give special leverage when searching for jobs in Germany?

Danielhouston:


Yes it does. It depends on the job and whether or not you studied in Germany. My only work experience in Nigeria was NYSC and the rest na hustle. The kind of hustle you cannot put on CV.
For my current job, it didn’t matter because I studied in Germany and they only cared about my degree. But when I worked as a student assistant during my studies, my NYSC teaching experience, helped me get the job.

If you studied in Germany, you can get a job even without previous work experience. But it does help if you have work experience in Nigeria or anywhere else. Yes, the employers ask about it. German companies are mostly focused on your degree and knowledge of German language. International companies focus on your degree and previous work experience.

The answer to this is subjective. It was not important for some people when they got their job, and it helped some people when they got their job. But generally, it does help to have previous work experience and/or other professional certificates. People from other countries, usually have lots previous work experience listed on their CV. Especially people in IT and engineering.

Daejoyoung:

Lecturer in Berlin? it's possible though if you go through the PhD route.

SusanDaves069:


Good day Daniel. Thank you for such an amazing thread. Been a fan from day 1.

Please I’d like you to share your personal view on this.

I have B.sc in economics, just concluded my nysc (my ppa was in a secondary school ).
I’m not really good at math and I know you studied economics.
Pls, What economics courses would you suggest I go for, and what are my chances with just my nysc work experience.

Danielhouston:


It’s been a long time since I studied and I can’t remember the courses. But if you’re not good at maths, then you should look into courses that are more on the social science side, than business. But I really think you cannot avoid maths during your studies. Even if you select courses without maths, there’ll be a compulsory course that involves maths.

Danielhouston:
Then there are the grumpy people. These ones are usually old German women. All they do is complain. Everything annoys them and everybody is too loud for them.

If your dog sh*ts on the ground and you don’t pick the sh*t, get ready to hear their opinion. If you ride your bicycle on the sidewalk, they will tell you how they feel. Even in the hot sun and terrible heat, if you try to open the window in the train or bus for fresh air, you’ll see them shouting as if somebody pulled their wig. They will close the windows in the train and tell you they have fear of whatever...

They also complain about noise at the park. Their house is 2km away but they’ll still complain that the music is disturbing them. They constantly call the police on people at Mauer park, for noise complaints. Instead of them live in a quiet area where they can have peace of mind, they live in right in the middle of fun activities and try to spoil the fun for everybody. The police always caters to them.

James4bright:



Imagine a white old granny wailing at you to close the window of a train, I know this would offend a good number of my Nigerian brothers.

They would probably be like, "She's racist". We blacks always feel attacked at the slightest of a white person's provocation.

And lastly, do white women obsess over riches same way our Nigerian women do? Lol

Danielhouston:


The window thing is quite common. It has nothing to do with racism and it’s not an attack. They just tell you to close it or they close it themselves. Sometimes they leave it open. They don’t call police on black people here, like they do in the US. Germans mind their business.

Yes, some white women obsess about riches here. The rich people show off for other rich people. They buy expensive things, live Porsche lifestyles and dine in expensive restaurants. But the show off is for their friends.
Generally, almost everyone is comfortable and the gap between the rich and poor, is not so wide. You won’t know who has so much money and who is poor, because they dress the same. You’ll only know from their lifestyle.

segzyndpep:



I am an interior designer with good potfolio.
I have been executing project since 2015 and my company
is registered.I want to migrate to Germany via study pathway.
Kindly advice which course i can do for MSC.
NOTE:My first degree is Industrial chemistry but i hate chemistry
Therefore,i can not do anything related to chemistry.
Can i get something under construction or interior design?

evergreen9:


What's housing like in Berlin? Can i send you a pm? want to make some inquiries.

Daejoyoung:

You can search for design courses generally on daad.de. You check for Bachelor's in Design first, because you have a degree not related to Design, and so getting a masters program directly would be difficult, but you can still check for the requirements of various schools ( Masters and Bachelors) on daad.de.
