Rayhut:

I am interested, let's use Dhl in surulere they are very fast, @Emanuellaiyke why not join us to resend,instead somebody signing your signature on your behalf in Germany. Please any other person that sent his/her DB form from August should join us to resend the form,don't wait because you are going to receive the message to resend because they have additional new form which will require you to sign in four places,if you know that you did sign in four places come and join us resend

obiWon1:


I got dsame mail... I think the located matters. Besides, how do u intend to sign and forward it to the person to then print and submit to DB?

I believe they expected your signature to be signed by you using 'BIRO' instead of using an input device to do so... I may be wrong though.

If u were to have others in the same shoe, u guys could gather the form and send it to DB in one envelope... that way it will reduce cost. I intend doing so with some of d guys I met at d Embassy d day we went for the account opening but our locations differs... I don't know any alternative way to it now.

Some weeks back my very good friend prophet eke(rtd) which u all know as eke40seven invited me 2 com give my german experience account and even though i took so long to ansa, here i am. i just hope u guys bear with me cus its not that i forgot abt here. i read posts daily just bin busy with stuffs. you guys coming to germany this winter will soon understand.

back to the issues at hand, b4 i ansa eke's questions, i need to drop some infos, 2 specifically

1) a lot of people av contacted me about the job link i posted some months back. some even started bothering me about it even though they are yet to be in germany. well sorry to inform you that nigerian students can no longer av access to the job. this is because u need a document called gewerbeischien (business license) for the job. the german govt in its infinite wisdom however deems it fit that non-eu students can not av dat document cus with that document, u can be self employed and run your own bizness in germany. so plz stop sending me msgs abt the job again. And to some who contacted me asking me how they will get to germany to come and work, plz i am not a travel or job agent. the only way i know that can bring u to germany is thru study. thanks

kciano:
My regards goes to Eke47 who has been profusely advising me no matter hw many times I asked him questions.......he neva get tired of answering my stupid questions. ...back to my testimony....I did my interview today ...it's the same old questions we hv been seeing.....na the chinko German woman that interviewed me.......her first question wasnt pleasant as ..... she asked me where am I going to? I told her magdeburg (my heart skipped immediately and my brain said to me I should hv mentioned the name of my school but no shaking).....I immediately re adjusted as she asked me why do u want to study this course .......I threw her off balance ( my people ..u might not want to hear wht I told her) ....the next questions where ......y German and not uk. ..Canada. ....usa etc........please my people pay attention to y u want to study ur MSc in germany ...she asked me these question like 3 times but in different grammatical construction .......be smart enough to identify that it's the same question......I was just saying as I earlier said ..........as I earlier said blah blah blah......
For the block account I used sterling bank and they hv debited me but am yet to receive notification from DB....THE exchange rate was 219.83........so u see that sterling bank rocks ....when I get my notification ...I would send details on how my fellow naira landers can process theirs .....
danke........tschus

Oye50:

As at today it was 220, they usually add 2 naira to the CBN rate but this night it went down to 216, the CBN rate I mean, so logically their rate shld be 218 now. It's always updated on their website and in every branch u go. After the calculations, their charges is around 14k.
I went to their headquarters at Kofo Abayomi, Victoria Island, Lagos

Oye50:
Fidelity bank is getting more and more familiar with our process. I got there this afternoon to process the form A. I was directed to Adeola at the intl office (she's in charge). She didn't allow me to explain b4 she said 'yeah I know, 8040 euros for blocked account and all'.I submitted every doc needed and she told me they ll alert me once they sort with FX. Guys if u are still doubting, fidelity process the form for blocked acct

sonyville:


thanks bro,
the two copies of the block acct form must be coloured? they are still processing my application oooh....i am expecting their decision this week or next week. so what i have is letter of confirmation of registration from my school.... im sure that wont be a problem, rit?

sonyville:
HELLO guys, just arrived lagos now for my block account opening tomoro, .....i am a bit confused ooo.....how do i fill the block account form ? i tried filling on the computer but it didnt work cuz its in PDF. Can i use a black pen?

De29ja:
Don't be dismayed. It's not as hard as it is been pictured..Learning the Language here in Germany is easier oder leichter anders gesagt Believe me Although it's more expensive compared to Goethe in Lagos or any other Language school in Nigeria..

tariy:

Please house how do I get letter of English Proficiency from unilag......

adenjnr:
Eke40seven is actually the interviewer. Sorry for the late response, its exams period and i had one yesterday. To the questions;

1) I think it depends on the course you are studying. For me, i have little or no assignments but more of presentations which entails lot of group work and no such things as impromptu test, we are even asked when we want our deadlines to be. We should just stop trying to compare education in Nigeria and here, the gap is just too wide. Work and study is not very easy especially when you are in a very demanding course and you intend to graduate with good grades but it is doable.

2) Actually i don't know how best to answer this but i will try not to make it look too easy. I do not have any language certificate but i started learning German online ever since i had the mind to study in Germany, its safe to say i understand German to some extent which actually helped. I got my 1st Job in less than 1month and the 2nd in less than 3months even though some people keep saying there is no job in the East. What actually did the magic for me is my openness to every Nigerian student i met here and the kind of people i met on ground (Big up to Topeajis once again, the guy is a real nigga).

3) Two major food in this part of Germany or maybe in general (not sure) Bread and Potatoes with lots of tomatoes and different leaves. Am an open person so i love to try everything but mostly, i do African food because it makes you spend less with Doner (Turkish) as a supporting striker.

4) If you are lucky enough to be here in August or early September, you will still meet summer sales and get cloths really cheap. you can always get your gadget from ebay or amazon (both new & old). As for okirika, Second hand store full everywhere.

5) Internet at home is really cheap depending on whether you want to have your own router(24euros) or you want to share with your apartment mates (5-10euros monthly). I share with my mates and i pay 5euros. Except you have a contract phone, on the go internet is quite expensive (9-24euros) meanwhile you have free internet in school.

6) - Be open minded, drop your sentiment and forming at the airport .
- Language is very very important e.g NO or LITTLE LANGUAGE = No or Menial Jobs, Just like someone said earlier, Perfect your Language and find yourself in paradise.
- Perfect your IT or Artisan Skills
- Even with the language and other skills you have, sometimes what you get is a function of the kind of people you meet. Relate with the right set of people.

7) About countries, with your resident permit/visa, you can travel 26 countries visa free in Europe and travelling elsewhere isn't really a problem.

I think have done justice to all the questions.

Disclaimer - I answered all the questions based on how have experienced Germany in Berlin and i tried as much as possible not to generalize.

styles2009:

When people analyze on this thread,how it's easy in a city to get a job and the "Many people speak and understand English" i laugh at such stupid comment and spill my favorite Banana juice.

I'll repeat again and again, Are going for BSC or MSC in englisch, learn german up to B2 and welcome yourself to paradise.

IMHO, Some comments on this thread is purely based on someone reading alot online and dumping "#crap" here

Cheers.

There's nothing to fret about.

if you have a functional account with the following banks:

Stanbic Ibtc
Gtb bank
Union bank

just go to their head office at VI/Marina then initiate the transfer. you can also decide to talk to the FTM (fund transfer manager)

I have a brother who is in charge of sending the money at Stanbic IBTC head office. send me a pm whenever you are ready so I can connect you guys.


Regards !
