sorry guys for being away for long. unfailingly I will update the thread and answer all the questions this week. Work, school and language course wan finish me up to the extent that I failed to honor the invitation of a pretty girl with nice ass . Something that I have never done since I was born.
I just reuturned now and preparing for lectures. If I come back by 4pm, I sleep and wake up by 10pm for another night job. This is what I do 5days in a week except weekends and still attend all the classes from A to Z and do all the asignments. Its really not easy but I will create time this weekend and attend to all questions.

You can still add more questions so that I attend to them once this weekend, after the weekend, we wait again for another weekend. The workload is crazy but for sure it will be lesser on February when I must have finished many courses

Suspectzero:
You are a very clever and determined Man. Please keep it up and continue to be a shining example to those that'll come after you.

Thanks for the compliments Suspect, I will try to be updating the thread whenever I have time usually during the weekends. Time is my only problem here but weekends na my treasure period for intensive reading and social media

Betnomore:
Thanks for the input. I have calculated my GP according to the formula you provided. It's below 2.1. I don decide now. Germany here I come. Na to start admission process first shey, den once dem grant admission na to put money for block account. If there is any other thing I should do please do let me know cos I'm seriously serious right now

Exactly, for more information visit this thread https://www.nairaland.com/5296943/general-german-student-visa-enquiries/1
it's well loaded.
I have to start preparing for work any moment from now to come back tomorrow morning and this is what I do almost every day except weekends (Reason why I am more active on Saturdays and Sundays) and still face my studies and Deutsch language course

genq:
Never quite understood this either.

White women age like cottage cheese

Nothing compares to a sexy chocolate beauty - speaking of which, the day I catch Diane from Bbnaija ehn! Choi

Lol, individual differences. I personally don't care about skin type provided the person in question is beautiful with good feminine shape (I love well-shaped @ss and boobs so much because I always love smacking and playing with them during sex ) then coupled with good and endurable character, I am good to go

Betnomore:
I never used to believe in traveling but with current Naija situation, I am considering it seriously. I'm really motivated by Basalt story. I have a clear picture of what is to be expected in Germany now. I also what to know what is obtainable in Canada. Is it worth processing Canada now or Germany. Also, what's the range of cost for both Germany and Canada processing. All positive input is highly appreciated

I have come to realize that the highest motivation to explore another route comes when the current route is not moving fine. If I was earning well in Nigeria, I wouldn't have had the dream of traveling out. I can relate to what you said.
Well, I have never been to Canada but as for Germany, I will advise you to stop thinking and start coming because you will never regret your decision.
If you wanna make money, you will make money and still study. Its all about planning your time very well and limiting your social media presence.
If you also want to face only your studies, Germany has what you need because their educational system is very good and with very low tuition.
The only problem in Germany is the language barrier if you can learn the language as soon as possible, you have no problem.
As for Canada, their schools have high tuition fee, the environment is much colder and higher cost of living, but if you are rich, then cost won't be an issue to you. So both countries are very good.

odimbannamdi:
You are very strong-willed and purposeful. You definitely know what you want.

I pray God grant you your heart desires.

Amen

Waooooooo.
Thanks so much boss for the wonderful prayers. I wish you the same

AgreatMan:
Everyone who went to Germany wanted to make it but life is a biatch. You are still in the system and it's a bit too early to give advise.

Start planning your exit bro, na countdown u dey. But all four points points are valid tho.

I dey enjoy your writing skills tho. But try and get a native. What's d point in paying all that plane money only to hook up with another Naija girl. Them never tire uuu? Even if u dey reason black, you no see colored South Africans or Ethiopians for ground? I go vex for u o.

Relationship is like a negotiation. If a girl feels like u are getting a better deal than her, she will always be reluctant.
Don't be desperate. You will get something tentative, but making her ur gf is up to your game.

Forget all these talk of white girls being a racist or they care about what their folks will say. As long as u no worwor or black like charcoal, u will get something. You a black, u r scarce, n valuable. Goodluck bro.

LOL. If you know me physically you wouldn't have said that because I am someone that always prepare for the worst and expect the best in every situation.
Personally, I don't believe that I am in a countdown to my exit. I strongly believe that I will stay in Germany after my graduation but if the worst happens which I don't expect, then with the money I intend saving, I explore alternatives but please I am not in a countdown and must not exit Germany.
We should be careful of what comes out from our mouth. When I was processing my visa, one guy germanmanny said something similar to what you said.

He said and I qoute:
germanmanny:

You can click on the link and view his comment long time ago, but here I am chilling in Germany right now. I told him then that he is not my God and I would quote his comment before december 2019 and I already did/

What I am trying to say is that we are what we believe and think and only God has the final say but always try to do your best and leave the rest for him. All the days of my life, I am never known for being fickle or given in to pessimistic words.

SOME MISTAKE NIGERIANS MAKE IN GERMANY

1. Not learning the language. Most of my coursemates didn't register for a German language course here or even learned it from Nigeria before coming to Germany. Unless you plan to base in an English speaking country after graduating, it's unwise not to learn Deutsch before graduating.
2. Not possessing any relevant skill. Most Nigerians here don't bother doing an internship in firms related to their field because most firms will prefer those that can speak German (which they can't) and as a result, end up graduating without any industrial experience or even language skills.
3. Chasing rats and leaving the Elephant Most Nigerians here chase rats leaving out the Elephant. They have that Essau mentality of immediate satisfaction. Always trying to make money by all means while forgetting that part-time jobs are not professional jobs. I understand that many people came here with loan and there is need to pay it back but immediately you start putting all your energy on part time works forgetting the three most important things which are your studies, Gernman language, Industrial experience/Skills. This attitude will make your education suffer, you will learn no Deutsch and have no skills to fetch you the professional job you need. And most of them end up starting over again and funny enough making the same mistake. Thats why you see some people that have been here for 8yrs achieving nothing because though they make money, some waste it on vacations and other irrelevancies. You have to study the system, know what they need and go for that.
Is parttime job what you intend to do forever? If the answer is NO, then think twice.
4. Relating only with fellow blacks. Inasmuch as its good to relate with your brothers but the fact is that you need Germans to remain in Germany. You need to act like them, speak like them, think like them, behave like them in other to be like them.

salford1:
This was also discussed in the living in Canada thread some days ago. Some of the posters thought that the white girls have craze in the head. Some do actually but most do not. It's just that new arrivals don't understand the culture and the whole dating scene. It's nothing about being racists. Same applies in the UK (lived there for a while). I think alot of non-western black men are confusing the porn industry with reality.

Would white girls date black guys? Of course, she would date if she likes you, and you are compatible culture wise,
gets to know you well to understand your culture and you understand hers, and definitely not because of that thing in your pants. Often times, the non-western accent is also a turn-off to some. You chat okay via text or whatever but the moment she senses that you are non-western, that is the end. My roommate when I was studying in the UK was a British born Nigerian. My guy changed girlfriends (oyinbo) every 4months or so without
the girls ghosting him.

The most common white women that won't mind dating irrespective of whether you come from the moon or from Mars, and are purple in complexion or stink like a skunk: are the big (complex), not fine(complex), sluts, junkie, rejected, on a revenge mission, sexually twisted (cokhold) , etc. You can be lucky to find one of those listed above. Just ensure you wrap up well.

I don die with laugh.

adesunloye11:
Great write ups God bless your hustle bro, please I will like to know if it is possible to travel on student visa in germany to countries like usa, Canada on visiting if possible applying to schools in aforementioned countries.

Though I have only visited one country since the arrival to Germany (due to time constraint) My friend in Hamburg flies to countries like mad. He has been to London, the USA, Canada, Paris. Name it. He is a big-time traveler, though he has been here for a long time and has really saved money.
It's very much possible to travel to USA and Canada while still a student in Germany but you need a visa for that (which is not difficult to get as it is to get from Nigeria).
Some people after their studies in Germany and saving millions of naira will migrate to Canada using the express entry route, obtain permanent residency and settle down or move to America and work with the permanent residency of CANADA.
Like I said, you will never regret coming to Germany to study unless you no play your wing very well

Raalsalghul:
What I actually mean is that a B.Sc Biology student with a good G.P.A applying for M.Sc Insurance because his/her working experience has been in an Insurance firm since graduation?

Won't the disparity put them at an advantage?

I guess the restricted ones are those having NC (Numerius Clausius)

Your work experience has been in insurance firm but not your degree. I have never heard that someone did BSc in Biology and then jumped to a totally different course like insurance for MSc.
You usually get admission for MSc which is in line with your previous educational qualification

THE GERMAN SEX

You are likely gonna experience involuntary celibacy for a long period of time (depending on your sharpness and social level) on getting to Germany and believe me, the konji wey dey here is higher than that of Nigeria because when cold comes, naturally you go need to hug something or somebody to keep you warm and when there is nothing to hug or somebody to keep you warm, konji will mess you up especially if you are like me that was sexually active in Nigeria.
When I was in Nigeria, I was beclouded with the mentality that white girls love black guys but on getting to Germany, I found out that it's not entirely true. I don't know about other countries but in Germany, girls will usually smile at you, answer you politely when you miss the road and ask for direction, she might even direct you with her google map to your direction but all these things na courtesy.
Don't take it as greenlight. She usually (from my experience and the experience of my fellow guys) might even collect your number but never message you unless you are the first to message.
The chatting later gets boring and any slightest provocation might lead to blocking. It might be working for others, but it has not yet worked for me.
As a sharp guy, I initiated a conversation with two white girls during our fresh bird's party and collected their numbers hoping to have my first white sex but my effort was dulled and bruised.
I invited one of them to my house but she replied Why should I come to your house when we are not friends?
Not minding that we have chatted on WhatsApp for weeks. Here, the mentality of girls are so different. Its not actually racism, some of them don't really feel like dating blacks just as you wouldn't feel like dating everybody.

Fast-forward to matter the topic of discussion, I later met a beautiful Nigerian girl inside the train and went and sat beside her, we greeted and started chatting and I discovered that she is even in the same school with me. As we were discussing, I intentionally missed my stop just to keep the discussion flowing and moreover I no dey pay for train since I have my semester ticket.
we later reached her stop and I asked for her German number and she dropped it instantly when she stood up to leave, we waved goodbye to each other and I noticed she possess a very nice Ass and hip (Not too big but perfectly matches her body).

We became more intimate after the encounter and occasionally attend events together. One day, I attempted holding her hands when we wanted to cross road and she didnt object and as she no object after crossing, I told her that I feel like holding her soft hand forever and she burst into laughter while taking the hand off my palm. I found out that the relationaship flows unlike my guys still chasing shadows with white girls who they are trying hard to please.
I invited her to my place, and on the appointed day, I cleaned my house, the television etc, bought some nice chicken burger and MacDonald Icecream with beef pepper soup as backup incase she wanna bite something, bought fruits like Apple, Berry etc and arranged my bed in the most attractive way while making sure that the air freshener was active.
My room looked perfect and the background music was low and very romantic.
15Mins after arranging my apartment, my bell rang and I started sweating in happiness like sheep wey dem dey cut em hair. I quickly pressed the unlock button and few seconds and went downstairs to meet my supposedly angel, only to see my Classmate Okonkwo smiling sheepishly with his school bag.
Immediately, my face changed.
Me: Guy how far na?
Okonkwo: I dey bro, this one wey you put on your Christmas wear, hope all is well?
Me: Bros abeg, e no dey do me as e dey do you now, wetin dey happen na?
Okonkwo: Make we enter inside first, no rush...
Me: (Sluggishly leading the way into my room with utmost dissapointment...)
Okonkwo: (excitedly).....Omoh ehhh, your room make sense. chaiii, e be like say na tomorrow i go even go sef, make I crash for your place today
Me: Crashigbuo onwe gi ebe anwa (meaning crash kill you there)...Abeg wetin bring you come without even giving me a call earlier.
Okonkwo; Craze guy. E get one graph wey I no sabi as the lecturer take plot am and even how he got the porosity of the formation.
Me; (I started thinking to myself.........which kind nonsence be this, I be graduate assistant abi na village people send this guy come block my parol? why must it be now?)
As I was thinking on how to escape this unexpected dilemma, I recieved a message from Jenny, the expected angel.......

gist to continue later, make I prepare for 8:30 lecture....

Raalsalghul:
Does work experience and professional certifications count for the M.Sc application?

I studied a science course, but my work experience/professional certifications has been in an entirely different field. Would it in any way affect as I'm tailoring my application with respect to my experience?

I plan on getting the IELTS form this week

In most schools, you have absolutely no problem securing an MSc admission even without any work experience in your field provided you have a good GP (Most Top German schools prefer 2.5 and above German scale which is equivalent to 2.95 and above Nigerian University scale).
I never had any Nigerian work experience related to my field apart from doing IT in a borehole company.
Nevertheless, if your GP is lower than the expected bracket, your professional work experience, motivational letter, achievement, etc might be considered depending on the school, its always advisable to visit the university website for explicit information regarding admission requirements.
Working in a field outside your course of study doesn't have any flavor in MSc admission consideration.
Also, you guys should be aware that German schools usually have restricted and non-restricted courses. Restricted courses are usually very competitive and it's very risky applying only to restricted courses if you desperately need admission to process your visa

I am reading now, whenever I get bored, I post about the long expected German sex.

Jacknn:
Okay tanks,my B.Sc was geophysics with a cgpa of 2.67,my first question is how flexible in the job market geophysics,geology is in the job market in Germany is it okay I continue my MSC in Germany also doing same geophysics as I am thinking of choosing another course relating to IT DAT still have connection with geoscience, something like data management etc
2) my main aim is to get a job after MSC,is not like I'm suffering to eat here in naija or shelter etc,I can decide to hang on to wait for job over here but naija as it seems now is so unpredictable and age is not by anyones side,what are the things to consider in my job search after my MSC,bkaux DAT is the main reason For me wanting to leave naija,not to hussle
since you're there and also doing my course I have deemed u overly fit to guide me tru this as I intend traveling 2020,intend ryting ielts Feb time and start processing things, please help me with credible and good information so I won't make mistake,especially my course choice, tell me the best to do since you're in Germany and the labour market demands
I really appreciate your response Mr basalt when free,thanks in anticipation..

Nice Questions.
Well, I have not yet graduated and got professional jobs but I think I already have the idea from the intensive research I did even before application.

First of all, I will start by telling you that you should be worried about getting MSc admission first because your GP is on the lower side (if actually 5 is your maximum scale)
Most German schools demand 2.5 German scale (This is the formular for converting your GP to German scale =Nmax-Nattained/Nmax-Nlowest) x3+1.
I did a quick calculation on your GP and got 2.747 German scale which is below 2.5. Most schools will send you rejection mail unless you have practical experience related to your course to back it up. Thats why I said you should first think about how to get admission with GP less than 2.5 German scale (Nigeria highest is 5 while German highest is 1), though its very much possible but usually harder.
Note that in Germany, the smaller the grade the better.
1,0-1,5 sehr gut
(very good: an outstanding
achievement)
1,6-2,5 gut (good: an achievement which lies
substantially above average requirements)
2,6-3,5 befriedigend (satisfactory: an
achievement which corresponds to average
requirements)
3,6-4,0 ausreichend (sufficient: an
achievement which barely meets the
requirements)
4,1-5,0 nicht ausreichend / nicht bestanden
(not sufficient / failed: an achievement which

Secondly, I think data management is IT course and not so related to Geophysics. I doubt you can get admission in MSc Data management with a BSc in Geophysics. If you wanna change carrier, you start from the scratch (B.Sc) and mind you that most Data management MSc courses are not tuition free, so you have to be prepared for tuition fees.

You made mention of professional jobs being the main reason you wanna migrate to Germany. I perfectly understand your point. If you are a registered member of linkedin, you will see many Geoscience vacancies in Germany which shows that Geoscientists are still in demand but the question is ARE YOU QUALIFIED?
The first step to qualification is knowing GERMAN to atleast B2, having practical skills which you can get from the industry during your internship, attending seminars and making connections etc.
Truly, there are more opportunities for those in IT field but also know that Indians are mostly in IT and they are very good in IT so you must also be ready to equip yourself and compete with them in the job market.
Let me also tell you something you have not thought about.
Don't you think you can stay in Germany as a student and raise millions of naira (which is not easy to raise in Nigeria) and still graduate with a good GP, then in the worst case scenario if getting professional job in the country fails due to limited opportunity for your course or due to your inability to possess what they need, you can use the millions of naira to migrate to other countries that have more opportunities for your course?
Countries like Canada, USA, Australia, Norway all have good opportunities for earth scientists due to their wealth in Oil deposit and kerogen.
So you have nothing to lose in Germany if you have a good GP and practical skills and save money for possible migration when you encounter worst case scenario.
Before the end of my MSc program, I am targetting atleast 5million naira savings that even if the worst happens which is not our portion, I can use the money to finance myself and explore other countries.
My number one aim of leaving Nigeria is to be a citizen of a first world country. If Germany don't give it to me through the process of getting professional job or marriage, then I try other countries. My heart will rejoice wheneever I get any of the following international passport
Germany or Australia or America or Canada or UK or any passport of any good and sane country to retire with my children.
Returning to Nigeria to base after studies is not an option at all and I know for sure that God will grant me of my heart desire. I don't know about you but I am working towards possessing a first world international passport to add to the Nigerian own I already have so that I can easily migrate whenever I need even in my old age ,

Try and pray five times a day, with time you'll get used to it. My husband also complains about my non praying regularly so I'm trying to adjust. It's not easy but achievable.

So Muslims actually pray 5 times a day .

I will start processing this German stuff next year.

But I have a question OP, how do you cope with the language barrier?

You learn it.
In life, we must not run away from every challenge,
we must learn how to tackle the challenge

This is one of the things that made me leave the country.
You won't know the extent of the decay of Nigeria until you visit a country where things work

Kenyy:
Good evening Basalt. Please I wanted to ask if you can give me the agent's number that helped you processed your application. Thank you in anticipation of your prompt reply.

You don't need an agent if you are going to Germany for studies. I never used any agent.

Its always different thing travling on a Student Visa and travling on visitors visa. Op your case is different ...no special thing about it. I've a friend in stugart he is making more money than you. This whole thin is all about your planning. I believe anybody who love you will always discourage You about travling on short visa and planing on over staying because you are bound to suffer. In this case i think there advise is valid and on point. Your Chances of succeeding as an illegal migrant is 80:20. No family will ever discourage its relatives not to go and study abroad when opportunities occour. Alot Of people are suffering in Germany or other parts if Europ because they are illegal. I'll still discourage my love one not to travel illegally. Reason with me.

Yeah, exactly my point. I am even earning shit. Many students earn more sef.
I perfectly understood your point, I felt so terrible when one of my relatives in America even told me MUST I TRAVEL TO GERMANY FOR YOUR MASTERS? WHEN WE HAVE GOOD SCHOOLS LIKE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN AND UNIVERSITY OF BENIN AND EVEN YOUR ALMA MATTER
After hearing that question I stopped communicating with him and I am so happy that he is among those viewing my status now.
I don't even bloody care if they see this post sef. Na God go bless my sister husband for me and bless my sister too that talked to him, I will never forget their support all the days of my life, I will make sure I reciprocate that love in thousand fold

One of the things you will notice when you arrive in Germany is that Chicken is so cheap. with only 2.5 Euros, you can buy full frozen chicken at Netto market (my favorite super makt)
2.5 Euro is almost nothing here because a day at work will give you tens of euros. Imagine when you work 4hrs a day even at the rate of 10 euros per hour, that is 40 Euros just within 4hrs in a single day, you see why person wey ever discourage anyone to come Germany for studies is not a good person?

Secondly, from experience, I noticed that Germans are really helpful when you are searching for direction but you really need Google map here, its very important and also sabi how to use Google map because everly you go miss road when you come here new. Google map is your friend here and almost everyone here even the indigenes use it.

For lectures, you have to know thyself and register the courses you can do. Don't register for 10 courses when you no too sabi book or when you spend many hours working otherwise you mess up your grade because courses here (especially science-related are really more complex than what you are used to in Nigeria).
Remember your total G.P target should not be less than 2.5 German grade coupled with your internship and at least B2 language skill to be more employable after your studies.
For me, despite the fact that I am academically above average, I still registered for only two courses and then paid for intensive German class and use the remaining free time for WORK WORK WORK.

I will talk about Sex in Deutschland tomorrow if I am free.
Gute nacht Alle

Unfortunately I wont be able to reply PM (I don't even have access to the email I used to register this my account) neither will I reply private questions like
Where do you work?
Which city are you in?
not because of pride but because I totally wanna keep this account anonymous and faceless and don't wanna reveal any private details online.
Ask me any question (that doesn't involve me mentioning any names) then I will answer you accordingly and satisfactorily whenever I have time (because I usually work all night (12am till 7am) and face school and language parol during the day, so hardly get time).
All questions (that are not private) will be answered here so that others will benefit. I usually get time during the weekend especially on Sundays

I am not trying to paint anyone white or black but everybody should be extremely careful.

Before you send your money to anyone for any product, be it oil or gold, check and verify very well to avoid paying for a bulllshit.
God saved me in the hands of Madam Peace when I was still in Palmoil business because I went physically to Akwaibom, lodged in hotel and transacted the business peacefully with her and there was no bad story recorded.
I checked all the oil by myself (100 kegs then) and even smelled it before paying and everything was cool.
Some people might be claiming MR INTIGRITY but remember the Onion woman had integrity, Madam Peace had integrity. They used their integrity to gain people's trust before messing them up. Be careful!

I don't trust people easily that is why I no dey get heartbreak because I hardly give people space to break my heart.
Don't send your money to anyone unless you are certain about the quality of oil they will deliver to you otherwise you might cry like a hyena because no be as bitterkola dey sound for ear e dey taste for mouth.
