Please can you link me to a reliable person in Germany that can fund a block account?
I don't understand.

You mean somebody that will fund €10334 for a total stranger on nairaland just like that?

Could you explain better what you mean.

Of them like , they should give him...it will only discredit the award.... for the owners of the award to say , Ronaldos only priority is to make sure he wins more balon dor that Messi simply shows y they hv been giving him those fake awards to make sure Ronaldo don't catch up... my take is that awards are given in hidings and are full of sentiments... the champions league winner can only have that when u win it in front of everyone to see... so as the broken goal records... if a player that has not seen the final of the champions league in the past 7 yrs is given the award just cos he won copa grin it simply kills off the credibility of the award...I hope they give it to Messi so that thst stupid award will receive the biggest backlash that they will ever receive, there by killing the authenticity of the award...

FamilyRe: Why Men Were Not Celebrated On Men's Day (photos) by Basalt(m): 11:42pm On Nov 23, 2021
FutureIsFemale:
Yesterday was World Men's Day celebration and more than 99% of the world's population did not celebrate it.

No brand celebrated it.

A whole Google that would change its logo during women and mother's day celebration did not acknowledge men on men's day celebration.

The following are reasons while most people did not observed men's day.

1. The FUTURE is FEMALE. The world power (USA) is currently headed by a female. Women own the world.

2. Men's supremacy is over. Never again would a man rule over us.

3. The atrocities committed by men is just too much making people wonder why they should be celebrated.

4. Men hardly do something worth celebrating. Imagine Davido using Chioma to gain fame then snubbed her. God is God of justice
Is this girl really mentally stable?

I am beginning to doubt that.

But your bitterness and hatred towards men is becoming alarming to the extent that people hardly take you seriously anyone.
Your posts always smell of gender related hatred.

TravelRe: Do You Regret Going Abroad With Your Spouse by Basalt(m): 5:38am On Nov 09, 2021
abbey621:
In this life everything na 50% planning 50% blessing. I no date my wife for up to 6 months before I decided to marry her. Brought her to the USA and aside from the normal arguments between couples, no wahala whatsoever, it's been over 5 years now. The greatest advice here is to ask yourself, who does the woman fear or respect? Look at her upbringing, her religious inclination, her views on life and family.

It's quite simple, any woman can mess up for any reason, it is a combination of hormones and nature, the key here is what exactly pulls her back to normalcy? Her parents? God? Love for her kids? Love for her husband? If her motivation is money, clout, fame etc, sooner or later the little love that she has for you would poof and disappear, she would find every reason to leave or destroy you from 30 seconds man to woman beater. Abroad no be 9ja where gra gra works, over here you must operate in stealth mode, never ever put all your eggs in one basket. Even tho you love your wife with all your heart, always have savings/assets set aside for the worst case scenario.....May God help us all!
I currently live and study in Germany and I plan to marry and bring my wife over when I settle abroad.
But please tell me how to have savings/adsets set aside for the worst case scenario.

The stories I hear make me afraid sometimes honestly because I wouldn't like to suffer all these things I am suffering and be empty handed.

I heard that after divorce, the house belongs to the wife. I don't pray for divorce but what about a case where the man doesn't have any house abroad but rather have houses in Nigeria?
Because I wouldn't like to buy house in a system that will give the house to my wife after divorce, and if there is no house abroad, there will be nothing to give after divorce cheesy

sholay2011:
Lie from the pit of hell. I'm in Canada and the devil is raging here but with more subtlety. Jesus is always the answer.

@ OP...You'd better find yourself a fellowship...connect to fellow Naija Christians over there with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Strengthen your personal altar. Don't be deceived, there are remnants (no matter the land) that are truly serving God day and night. My spiritual life got seriously sharpened since I got to Canada in Sept 2015. Take heed to your personal altar (the Word, prayer, fasting). And don't be looking for Anglican church but where God wants you to go over there.
That's the issue bro.

Getting an Anglican church in Germany is very hard and I always feel at home whenever I attend Anglican church.

Secondly, most students in Germany hardly attend churches.
It's very hard to see anyone who attends church every Sunday in my city.
Most people here see Sundays as a day to rest and have fun after working hard during the week.
People think more about money, work, school and other worldly things.

My best friend in Nigeria who was always attending the same fellowship with me was angry when I told him about this and he told me to come back to Nigeria and build my spiritual life then go back, but I find it funny.
Christianity EtcI'm Becoming Less Religious Ever Since I Moved To Germany. by Basalt(op): 12:58pm On Oct 19, 2021
Hallo, it's me Basalt the hard rock.

I stepped in to Germany with student visa around October 2019 and things have been really amazing for me.
I must confess, not only that I am learning a lot, I'm also saving alot.

But there is one area I am lagging behind and that is my spiritual life.
As a staunch Anglican, I used to attend church every Sunday when I was in Nigeria and it's a taboo in my family not to go to church on Sundays.
Unfortunately, coming to Germany really affected my spiritual life.
Right now, I don't consider going to church as a must.
Honestly, I hardly go to church right now. It has been over one year I went to church. Sometimes I even work on Sundays.

What's the best way to be more spiritual in Germany?
God has really been so good to me, I want to be closer to Him always.

TravelRe: General-german-student-visa-enquiries Part 8 by Basalt(m):
Those under category B still waiting for visa appointment, you have to pray more now.
There are few bitter things you need to remember.

1. It usually takes 4 -8 weeks after interview for you to get approval mail. Infact during our time, some people's own took over 10 weeks sef.
And once your enrollment deadline passes before the visa decision, your application will most likely be rejected.
So your enrollment deadline and possibility of extension of enrollment deadline can play a big role.
Because my friend got an email then asking her to present evidence of enrollment deadline extension or the application will be rejected, unfortunately her school didn't give her any extension and the visa was rejected due to passing the enrollment deadline.
I heard it's possible to enroll online now, so you can also enroll online when it gets to that point.

2. After 31st September 2021 , embassy will no longer issue appointment for this year. Which means you need to get appointment in July or latest in August for you to stand a good chance of getting German student visa this year.

3. Though Corona situation is getting better in Germany and category B appointment should return to normal right now, but We are still doing our lectures online contrary to our expectations, which means they might assume that new students can still receive the lectures from their countries and therefore not in a hurry to issue appointments.

If you don't get appointment mail after August this year, then it will be extremely hard for you to meet up this year.
So pray more for the appointment, call them if you can, send emails, explore option B.
You barely have 2 months left

I need your advice. Am in my late 20s and am from a poor home. I graduated with 4.3/5 in computer science with a journal and a professional cert in information security.

What advice would you give to me.
What a fantastic GPA from a fantastic department.
I would recommend you to search for scholarships in Germany.
Information technology is a hot cake in Germany.
Do everything possible to leave Nigeria and you would thank me later few years from now.

I will always bless the day I took the decision of leaving Nigeria same thing with all of my friends here.

Hello

Please if you don’t mind can you list some reason why you wouldn’t go to Poland for your master degree , I’m preparing to travel soon and it’s happen that my destination is Poland
The number one reason is the availability of good-paying part-time jobs alongside your studies.
I would like to do my schooling in a place where there are abundant part-time jobs which students can do and make money while studying.
I don't know much about Poland, but as a country that is not rich, the salary in Poland will surely be generally low and one of my reasons for selecting countries for education is the possibility of making money while studying.
Secondly, I heard that getting a Polish education visa from Nigeria is very hard even after you have paid your school fees.

I wish you the best in Poland, good news is that it is in EU and you can easily visit other EU countries.

The legal occupant of the apartment only need to know that you will be using his/her address, and that's it. All official letters will come to that house address. It's illegal but this is very common.
I know that in many European countries, people do this. As a student, to use other people's addresses to apply for permit does not require Landlord's signature. I don't know about Germany. In most European countries, I know that it's almost impossible to forge a housing contract which can be a very important document to apply for certain types of residence permit and for some official purposes also.
Yes, in Germany, the house owner signs, and his full name also appears on the form. So if you are using a friend's address, it means you are using a form signed by the landlord which means the landlord should be aware that you are using the address. Some people still do it without the landlord's knowledge but pray something doesn't go wrong because when something goes wrong, the landlord will deny knowing anything about your presence in his house, and you have to explain who signed the landlord's signature grin cheesy which you used for your Anmeldung.
By law you should use your own personal address with your landlord being fully aware of it, if you want to share an apartment with someone then let your city and your landlord be aware during the Anmeldung, though in most cases nothing goes wrong and they don't check the authenticity of the address. Some little things that don't matter in other European countries matter a lot in Germany.
We live in a country with so many rules and regulations and you have to be careful.
TravelRe: How To Save Millions Of Naira As A Foreign Student In Europe. by Basalt(op): 10:31pm On Jun 12, 2021

Btw, many European countries just want to see that you have a valid address and you will be fine with everything.

Are you saying that student must get thier own accomodation before applying for permit?

What if the student are [b]squatting and use address [/b]of a friend to apply for his/her permit.
Extremely risky unless the landlord or the person who gave your friend the accomodation is aware of that because there is a portion where the landlord is supposed to sign.
Some people still take the risk and fodge landlord's address but it's extremely risky if it backfires.

You are supposed to apply for resident permit with your own accomodation not with your friend's address

Hello Nairaland people, I am in a serious dilemma, I am a legally married woman who is based in Nigeria and married to a Nigerian student in Canada, I have been unable to reach him for several months now, no communication whatsoever, his family members are not doing anything regarding the situation on ground, I am really worried on what could be the situation of things over there, he will be done with school in less than 4months. Please what could be wrong? He has promised to call for me soon, so I am surprised I cant reach him for this long. I really want to see my husband. This situation at hand as made me depressed and I have been unable to function. What do I do? Please help!
Don't you have his Facebook ID or whatsapp?

I suggest you also try sending him email and LinkedIn message.
If he doesn't reply, then he is purposely ignoring you.
