Yea, it's me Basalt and I always don't wanna paint words. I am a graduate of Geology from UNN (with over 4point GP).
I received much discouraging advice especially from my relatives in America and even my friends telling me that since I have a high GP and still young I should continue applying for jobs in Nigeria because Abroad is no longer what it used to be. I was listening to their lies and applying to non existing jobs for complete 2YRS.
Out of all those applications, I was able to secure only private school jobs which paid less than 30,000 with lots of stress on my life. After 2years of frustration and earning like a rat, I came back to my senses.

I sold everything I had, borrowed money from my elder sister's husband (God bless them for me) and entered Germany last month on student visa because to me, all die na die (even if I perish in Germany I will perish happily than continue crying in silence in Nigeria)

On getting here mehn, the first thing I regreted was not leaving Nigeria earlier. I blamed myself for listening to their lies and discouragement all these while thats why I deem it important to open this thread and pray Moderator pushes it to the front page because I know there are many people receiving such discouragement as we speak.
within three weeks of comming here, I have a part-time job that pays me 13.5 euros per hour (I work for 80hrs per month) in addition to that, I have one mini job that pays me 445 euros per month.

My accommodation is 350 Euros per month and my living expenses are about 150 Euros a month or highest 200 if I spend heavily.
In addition to that, I have access to a world-class education for almost free and stand a better chance of getting a professional job after my masters and you know what that means?
Now do the Maths and tell me how it is not better than less than 30,000 Naira which I was earning in Nigeria before leaving?

Some people will say I am lucky but honestly, I am yet to see any student in Germany die of hunger here unless he is lazy.
I repeat, NEVER you listen to anyone telling you to remain in Nigeria UNLESS you are earning fat salary in Nigeria, even the so-called politicians send their children here.

Glory be to God

waoooo, SL took just one week to get verified?
Congratulations on your AM
God is indeed wonderful

Immafrank:
Most people still don’t know how this letter works. Apart from the embassy and your intended alien office doing their verification, you must also make sure the important details on your SL are okay. If you are here and you are using SL. Before you have your original SL sent to you, make sure you request for a scanned copy and cross check your details that it is correct, check that the purpose of stay is fur studium.

Nachgewiesen must be ticked. Nachgewiesen means the sponsor has successfully demonstrated and that he/she has met all requirements to stand as your sponsor.

In some cities like Stuttgart, Rastatt, they tick both nachgewiesen and glaubhaft gemacht while in some cities like München, they only tick nachgewiesen. Nachgewiesen is very important.

I once saw SL where nicht nachgewiesen was ticked. It was straight rejection.
So contact your sponsor and let the office the letter came out from make the correction.

Thanks for that........Mine is from Stuttgart and they ticked both nachgewiesen and glaubhaft gemacht but ever since I submitted my SL to embassy, they havent sent me any email telling me that they have received my SL neither did they even respond to my email notifying them about the delivery of my my SL. But I tracked the document and it has been delivered......Ice-cream dey taste me like yoyo bitters now to be sincere with you. They should be confirming documents reception

eastafro:
From what I have read ,I think it depends on which city you are going and that city’s foreign office .
Whether SL or BA ,it takes 1 month average till AM .

Danke mein bruder.

Fabcol:
Hey, young man! Where have you been
Depends but on average 4weeks.. could be less, could be more.
Yes it takes far longer days than BA

Thanks so much brother

How long does it take SL to get verified?
I heard it takes longer days than B.A

who knows the average days it usually takes for SL to get verified?

Do you read at all?
Didn't you see the scam email part?

slyfox35:
Its not fake news, I was there live and for those of you that said they did not see the snake, this is the snake

Nein, its fake news until you show us the video of the girl turning into a snake.
Any person can post snakes online. I can even post a bigger one and claim it was a pregnant woman that turned into that.
Make una dey think abeg

Nobody need to cross any border. It is all slavery. Nigeria is better than USA and Canada combined together

If you are earning much in Nigeria. But if you are earning peanuts, oga leave that shit hole and travel abroad and see how great your life will be within just 5years.
I am currently doing my papers to leave this country for my masters with my life savings. Maybe come back in a better way by God's grace. This country does not favour me at all

Sarang:
I’m not but that’s a fact. AUSTRALIA PAYS BETTER THAN USA and so does CANADA..READ!

You obviously the person to read here.
Especially the Canada you mentioned

Sirmuel1:
Which cheap likes are you talking about? That doesn't bother me.


Honestly, I love USA, But I would pick CANADA!

An ignorant child would pick toy over gold.
All the child needs is to know is the value of Gold and he would blame himself for his decision.

You obviously have never crossed the boarders of Nigeria and you are picking Canada over USA.

Deola2020:
Are you for real or just being sarcastic?

Apart from gun issues, how is Canada any mate to USA in all ramifications ?

Then from what I am noticing, if you have enrolment deadline on September or you Lied that you have enrolment deadline on September and before September, then the probability of getting date is only dependent on those who have dates.
If anyone cancels, someone somewhere will have date. That's why I encouraged people who don't have admission letter or who have changed their mind to always cancel their appointments to create dates for others.

The bitter truth is that Dates is almost finished as I am talking to you now because of indiscriminate booking of appointment by people. Even secondary school people who don't have any admission letter can book, it's appaling.
Unless your enrolment deadline is November, then you probably get late September as appointment date or you are fortunate enough for someone to cancel his date then they will give to those standing on the queue.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
For those waiting for appointment dates, don't lose hope yet.
Be optimistic and hope for the best.

Please I must say this. If you know that you booked for appointment and you have gotten a date and you don't have admission letter yet, please kindly cancel it so that those waiting will have appointment dates.

It's wickedness to just relax like that and the slot gets wasted. If you know you won't be there on the day of appointment, why blocking way for others who already have admission and waiting for dates?

Really, the embassy should upgrade by making it mandatory that before you book your appointment, you must attach your admission letter.

sirdouglas:
Thanks bro. Sleeping with her without condom was my fault but I trusted her. They can't force me because they know I could have chosen the easy way out and endanger the life of their daughter in the process if I wanted to. I am doing everything I think is the right thing though I am not sure of the paternity yet. I felt that she giving birth to twins means something but now you have said it. I will still go for paternity test to remove any form of doubt. I am not coming back any time soon so I wouldn't say I don'twant the kids. After delivery, wouldn't it be late to lay claim on the children??

You messed up someone's future.
Someone you knew from onset that you weren't going to marry only for you to travel out of the country to look for a better future.
If you knew you weren't going to marry her why sleeping with her without condom in the first place?
Who is even sure if this cock and bull story is even true as you said from the beginning that it's your own part of the story and she might not agree with you.

From what I read, I see someone who messed up a young girl's future and trying to use sympathetic stories as an excuse to dump her.
Well I reserve my comments. But please remember the law of karma

I will advise everyone to fund their block account this month being July because of this rumour of increase of block account to over 1000 euros.
You know what that means?

It means that you will pay nearly 500,000 naira additionally if the rumour happens to be true.
Note that this rumour was initiated by a legitimate German University. Remember they are updated with news before it even gets to us. And also note the use of their tone MOST LIKELY which means that its MOST LIKELY going to be increased

Elisha111:
Am a Nigerian but I schooled in Ghana.i graduated with a cgpa of 2.8 of 4.0(70%).i have plans of doing my masters in Germany but I have some challenges
1 the agent said I can’t do my Master’s with my grades,that it’s too low.that I need to top up my grade with a 1year degree program
2 the amount the angent is charging me for processing is too high
3 I would love to do it myself but I have no ideal how to...

Please I will really appreciate it if you can help me with any link where I can get list of schools or if you have any school in mind that I can apply to . I read business management in school and i want to study international business management or project manager for masters.

First of all let me ask you a question which nobody here has actually asked you.
That your school in Ghana, is it a university or a polytechnic?

If its a university, you are qualified to apply for your masters in Germany with your 70% FCGPA.
But if it is a polytechnic, then you are probably not going to get admission for masters in Germany. German schools accept HND for mostly BSc admissions but very rare for Masters admission.
Even Nigerian universities sef don't accept HND for masters unless you do Pgd

Goztino:
Chaiii, this just demoralized me. I am given admission in three universities.

1. RWTH Aachen University
2. University of Bremen
2. Karlsruhe University of Applied sciences.
still expecting from 3 schools

The school I love most is RWTH Aachen university.
Please, I fit get the contact of that your guy in Aachen please?
or give him my contact for us to chat on whatsapp.

I am borrowing some of the money to complete my block account and I really wanna pay it back as soon as possible.

Please bro, don't let an unverified MY FRIEND posts demoralise you.
First of all ask him
1. Does his friend know anything in German even bitte and Dankeschön?
2. Does his so called friend realise that Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf are close to Aachen and he can as well try there?
3. Is his so called friend capable of doing menial jobs for a start before jumping up the ladder or is he extremely selective even without any language or programming skills?

I have friends in Aachen too and they are not complaining

chimax1:
Really concerned about the feedback am getting from friends in DE about the job situation. A friend has been there since March, no job till now, another since winter 2018, still no job. They have both been vigorously applying. Makes me wonder, is it really all worth it? I know the first aim of going is to study but side hustle is very important too to keep body and soul together.

They have come again with MY FRIEND, MY FRIEND always discouraging people with hypothetical posts

billpete89:
Just seeing this now. And why would ignore someone. Don't come to this trend regularly to check for response.

Besides our number is there for quick response.

Anyways We are not affiliated with Goethe, and Yes we do prepare Students for B1 or B2 exams.
Thanks.

But you posted comments immediately her question which means you must have seen the post by now but decided to ignore her.
My point is that snubbing people is rude and nobody trust a snub or an arrogant tutor.
It paints a teacher black.

MartinLawrenCe:
Mesef. I am currently drowning in it... Kai.... I got admission early booked early but yet I am still waiting while CatA people that got admission this month already have dates. This thing is not fair sha. Me wey still dey hustle for first degree...

You should have booked early with category B since you have early admission.
Category booking started on 6th May and all the people that booked then have got dates

otunbanimi:
When did you apply and when was the application deadline for the course?

Is that the congratulations you will tell him first before bombarding him with questions?

Konphi:
I honestly don't have it. I just posted the information cos I didn't want to keep it to myself

You don't have it?
Why not contact your friend who did the screenshot since you already said she is your friend. You can easily tell her to do another screenshot revealing the email of the sender.

Konphi:
So, a friend contacted the embassy to ask them if category A

Until the email address of the sender is revealed, that screenshot can't be confirmed to be authentic.

Remember, I am not doubting anyone here, I just don't want people to get turned back at the embassy for booking wrong category.

germanmanny:
This Basalt of a guy, you are miss leading people here. Stop giving wrong information. Many good people cancelled their appointment because of you.

The info given above is as genuine as your waec result.

If have like follow Basalt advice and cancel your already booked cat A. Both of you will remain in Nigeria .

For the last time, ANYBODY with at least a 2.2 in your b.sc and coming for another b.sc, m.sc or PhD go and book Cat AAAAAAAA

He who has ears let them here.

Una go remain for naija Dy listen to fake rumour and waiting for never moving cat B when u already qualify for cat A.

I nor get time to dy argue with anybody.

Thanks

See as you are just embarrassing yourself in public.
My demand is simple. Let her post the email address of the sender to make everything authentic.
How is that misleading the public?

If you are smart enough, you would demand to see the email of the sender to know the authenticity of the email.
I am not doubting her but until the email address of the sender is revealed, that picture is not certain to be authentic

Konphi:
So, a friend contacted the embassy to ask them if category A can be booked for bsc holders applying for another bsc in Germany. Let me drop this here.Please see response below:

You need to reveal the email address of the sender for us to know if the response is actually from German embassy.
Atleast we have their email address

Bamstar007:
You are changing the narratives bro
You were the one (one of those) saying category A was for only scholarship students which was wrong and those that try to probe it made it possible for others to confidently book caregory A if you are going for Msc and have first class to 2:2

Yeah, then you must tick scholarship before they later removed the scholarship aspect.
I am only against not reading effectively or not adhering to simple instruction which most Nigerians are guilty off.
What if they didn't later remove the scholarship?
Nigerians don't like keeping to simple instructions until their damn ass gets kicked
