 Travel / Re: I Never Knew Rwanda Is This Developed. by Bethiano(m): 3:32am On Sep 16, 2022 |
You clearly do not understand what development truly means. Do you think it's about big roads? Development is not in the size of your infrastructure? Is Lithuania a developed country? Yes, but Nigeria is not. How about comparing to Germany or the USA or even India, yet India is not a developed country. please learn to appreciate what development truly means. realestate99: |

so what's your point exactly? How does your living experience there discredit the comments of the earlier author? From your comment, what I can deduce is that you value freedom over whatever a good authoritarian regime brings. As much as I agree with you on that. I still think that we all should pursue freedom and development, not one or the other. We too as Nigerians deserve the best. We have freedom, yes, we must also have development. Rwanda has development, YES; but must also have freedom. nwadikeokey11: |

Dear Sir, Sorry, I am abroad. Unfortunately, you are not here yet. You will be here soon, I pray. Moving forward, I would avoid you like the plague, so I don't offend you next time. To those who have followed this thread for long, you will observe that we "echo " the culture of not spoon-feeding to encourage others, newbies or oldies, to put in the work and not lazy everything out. If that culture has changed, I apologise for not knowing and updating myself. Howbeit, I wish everyone good luck. Regards Excellent111: 3 Likes |

Another question I received Good morning sir. How are you doing? Well, I'm trying to migrate to Germany using education means- wanted to do a master's program- but I'm having challenges. Firstly, ASUU is on strike and I can't get my transcripts and secondly, I can't afford the blocked account fee, especially with the crazy rate and possibility of it increasing soon. Now my main question is, do you think Ausbildung is a good idea to come to Germany? Is it feasible? Would you advise it? I'm currently learning German but I want to be sure before I give my all. I'm currently in the A2 level and planning to enrol for B1 soon. Thanks. Apart from all these, please share them with me if you have any other advice or comment. My dear, these are life decisions, sadly it's your call but here is my opinion. First, @AmisOsas is also applying for the Ausbildung visa. You guys can exchange thoughts. My dear, you know your circumstance better than I do. You are better positioned to decide for yourself what you want out of life. I think a Blocked account is also required for Ausbildung, only that the amount is less, in that you are to block for six months. I am unsure of the details and how applying for Ausbildung will save your funding situation, as you may need to show when applying also. But I suggest you GO AND VERIFY. Ausbildung is simply vocational training; you are trained in a particular vocation (e.g. hotelier, carpentry, electrical work etc.), but you are attached to a company while you are being trained, and you get paid for your work in the host company. It is a unique german model to train professionals in those vocations. People with such skills in Germany are fine too; they are not hungry. if you want to use Ausbildung as a JAPA plot, then it's up to you. But no one would nail you to the cross that you want to pursue another part other than Ausbildung when you have arrived already in Germany. You can decide to pursue a master's afterwards or months after you have arrived. It's entirely up to you. However, there would be requirements to do so, simply fulfilling the requirements. As per feasibility, I can't say. I am yet to meet a Nigerian who came to German with an Ausbildung Visa. Indeed there are many Nigerians in other parts of Germany with such testimony. |

Someone asked me these questions via email, but I will respond here so others can benefit. 1. How long did it take to get an appointment? I got my visa in 2019, I suppose things have changed a lot now, so I am not in a position to tell you this. Hopefully, others here can answer. However, if you read through the last 100 pages of this thread, I am sure you will find the answers you need, though in bits and pieces. If you have a jotter where you take down important information, I trust you will be able to connect the dots. 2. what are some student jobs you mentioned? I said Work student positions in a company specialised or working in your area of study. However, you can do other student jobs if you do not seek a professional student work position or internship, such as working in a warehouse, coffee shops, food delivery etc. My advice is that you focus on work student positions. Check popular job sites to find suitable positions. Websites like LinkedIn, indeed, stepstone etc. 3. Can I learn the language in Germany if I can't correctly learn it here in Nigeria..? What do you mean by correctly learning German in Germany? You learnt English in Nigeria. Did you have to go to England to learn English correctly? Goethe Institute is there for you. if not, you can self-learn using these phone apps, such as Duolingo, DW learn German, Leo etc Of course, your language skills would be sharped and improved when you come to Germany, which is a given. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hello Ola, if I understand your question and situation, you mean ; you live abroad and sent a package to Nigeria, the tracker shows your parcel has arrived in Nigeria, processed in facility x, but you have not received the package at your home address. If this is your question, I suggest you send someone to the central NIPOST office at the destination of your package. Please share with the person details of your package; tracking code, and description. With this info, please, the person can inquire from NIPOST. I hope this helps. Please let us know any update on the situation. Olajuwonbenson0: |

Why do you need a birth certificate from Lagos? A birth certificate from any part of the country is valid; make sure the details therein are correct and match your documents. Desist from paying for what is by law free of charge. We glorify bad behaviour when we continue to do this as a people. I saw someone advised you to go for an NPC certificate and would link you to someone who would charge 15k. As a believer and follower of PETER OBI, I urge you to get this through official channels and only pay official fees. Remember that Nigeria will not always be like this; one day, all this rubbish will end. Till then, do the right thing. ozonaija: 2 Likes |

TIPS FOR NIGERIANS COMING TO GERMANY FOR STUDIES. Note: these are my views, so don't fight... For almost three years, in Germany, my advice to a young Nigerian coming here for studies. 1. Learn the Language if you can before coming; at best, start learning in Nigeria 2. Never study a course you are not down for, don't struggle in an area that is not a good fit for you. 3. Do not focus on lager jobs when you arrive. It's a bad deal. I know it may be difficult, but focus more on work student position in a company focusing on things related to your course of study. 4a. I would advise, you take the first six months of your Blocked account-sponsored stay in Germany to intensively apply for a work student position in a company rather than start a lager job from the first go. I understand some of you may have to return the funds you collected from people. If that is the case, start applying for work student positions in Nigeria. Those in IT have a good chance. I have heard of a UNN student working for an IT firm in Germany in a work student position. He receives a monthly stipend of like 1500 euros for 80 hours per month of work. 4b. The most valuable assets you have in your first 2 years here are the Internet, constant power supply and your student status. Many fail to understand the power of this resource. They undermine it or take for granted the opportunity that has been presented before them. Don't spend your time streaming videos always, engage the internet for productive uses. Don't be deceived, time flies in Germany. Before you know it, 2 years is gone. Maximise these resources for your own gain, learn a skill or software, your school may have the premium version software, ask from your uni library or international office, there is numerous software you can get the premium version for free. Don't waste this opportunity, your competition is on a global scale. 5. it's wise to spend your blocked account money with a PETER OBI mindset. 6. You must be intentionally social in DE to enjoy and gain the international student experience in a country like DE. This is because of language and cultural barriers, but if you have attended to point (1) above, you are fine. 7. Covid 19 is over, so you guys would be coming in at a better time than I did. I can't overemphasise that your study is the main reason you are in Germany (at least officially); do well to keep things straight. However, don't miss out on other opportunities, especially travel and continuous learning opportunities (e.g. summer schools, conferences etc.). Some of these continuous learning opportunities are fully funded. I combine my desire to travel around Europe with learning something new and adding some certificates to my portfolio. I have since visited Lithuania, Poland, Ireland and other cities in Germany to attend one summer school, workshop or conference. All were fully funded. 8. Build network and friends while in Germany. If this is important to you and your career plans, please consider doing this intentionally. You must be intentional, quiet and wise about it, don't be "standoffish". Germans or say Europeans don't warm up to foreigners quickly, so don't be like that...., its not so deep. I trust you understand what i mean here. 9. In contrast to what you may have heard, appreciate the Nigerian community if you find one in your city. Its a big help in socialising and finding people to argue about NIGERIA occasionally. Your Nigerian community can be of great help. However, do not be petty. Don't bring bad behaviour here. For instance, the Nigerian student community in Darmstadt is lovely, with quality Nigerians who are cool-headed, fun-loving and exciting. We have had many parties that are the pride of black people in this city. We are gracious, LOUD, BLACK, and PROUD. In summary, we get sense. 10. Appreciate the relationships you are living behind in Nigeria and keep them cordial. Yes, I understand some people feel the need to lock up and ignore people back home. Well, I am not one to tell you how to treat or behave toward your friends. My point is, you may need one or too assistance from family and friends back home. So keeping it cordial is fine. Some may ask you for money because you are now in Europe, where money grows on trees. Well, it's up to you; if you give them that impression, then deal with it: Na, you sabi. If you have any questions, you can ask them here or drop me an email. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

This may be the customs of Netherlands. Customs of receiving or sending countries, should they find any suspicious package , they have the right by law i guess to open the package. whether items in the package would be intact or not depends and its tricky. it could be an honest Human mistake or treacherous intentional actions, however, depending on the country , the probability of any content being intact varies... Am sure you know what i mean by this ... regards ajoskele: |

Dear Cellove, sorry you have to go through this . from what i can see the item reached Lagos on was put in an Outbound bag on 12th December 2019. i may agree to your claim that the tracking number is the issue, i see that it was assigned to another document going to the US. if you observe there was no record of the document leaving Nigeria. This is clearly a technical/ Human error from their side of Nipost. I think Auchi office is responsible for the error. They obviously did not synchronize their system before registering your package. Such that when the item got to Lagos, the Lagos system became frustrated, not knowing what to do. Even if they sent it to Canada, the Canadian system would not recognise the package, because the Tracking code is a unique identifier, no 2 package should share same number . If they had synchronized their system, the system may not have assigned your package an already used number . question 1. did you send the transcript yourself ? 2. Did you write your contact details (+ Phone number) behind the envelope in case of return ? if yes, to the above question then i guess you can only hope it will be returned to you. This actually takes about 21 days . Another, option, try reaching out to Nipost control office in Ikeja .... you could call them or visit their office. Hopefully they can track the item. To be very honest, Nipost is weak in Troubleshooting as with many Nigerian establishments. cellove: |

Dear Nigerians, it would be challenging to tell you my story since 2014.... because its long..... But i would discuss about it based on subject matters, not sure i can write all....i will try to make a youtube video, though not sure if i am ready for the public. Study in Germany, does it make sense, whats the difference about studying in Nigeria content wise ?...... First, i want you to know and appreciate that knowledge gained from Nigeria is strong and comparable. otherwise, you would not have been admitted on the basis of your BSc for a master and WAEC+ 1st year studies for Bachelors. The fact you have been admitted means you have requisite knowledge to undertake the course. Please dont let anybody talk you down on this matter. Just know this ! Before your begin to walk tall, please, ensure you choose the right course for you, be sincere with your competence and skills. Review thoroughly the course modules and be sure the content satisfy's your quest for knowledge in that field. i understand sometimes we just apply to a lot schools and programmes, for admission sake. However, to the degree possible, make sure your are interested in the programme and excited about the modules.Otherwise, you may come back here and start shouting how hard it is to study your choosen course, how hard German this and that is.... For the Records, many Nigerians are graduating with Distinctions here..... many ! on the average, many are doing their best, especially those who have the opportunity to focus on their study and not being distracted by work. content Wise, Talking from my programme (TropHEE @ TU Darmstadt) and please note that i already had a master in Environmental Management from UNN and have been doing independent research, participation in Academic conferences, publications etc. before living Nigeria. For me , the modules are everything i want to learn, very enriching and insightful. Every class i attended was an opportunity to reinforce my knowledge and filling knowledge gaps i had in my understanding of Hydrogeology, which was my aim of taking up the programme. i saw myself saying YES or Okeyyyyyy...... or nodding during classes in agreement most times and asking WHY many times to prompt explanation of why we are doing it that way and not this way. so for me its different and may be different for some others. The central point here is, know your goal/ reason for choosing a particular programme, be sure its inline with your career objectives and target after the 2 year masters. Be realistic with your existing skills, knowledge shortfalls, etc. Dont over assume. If you know , you somehow graduated with a 2.1 or 2.2 and that your result does not reflect the knowledge it presents you possess. Please take your time to do some reading before going to Nigeria. Dont form or claim anything here, there is no room for that. Its either your know or you dont. Take time and go through all modules of your programme, call the programme coordinator if you need clarifications on the programme. Be sure the module content is what you want to learn, that it would provide knowledge that would fill the gaps you have, that it would arm you with the skills you need to lead a better life and career moving forward. of course, Germany is ahead of Nigeria in terms of Technology , research capability, facilities and scientific approach. However, i think in Nigerian are prof's try to brake things down for us to understand, our prof's approach to science and teaching is aimed at making us understand and appreciate concepts. But this have a lot to do with the context/environment, mannerisms and ease of understanding Nigerian prof's due to Nigerian English phonology and lexicon which is debatable. However, my submission above does not suppose that some people stories are not different. i say this before people begin to declare, cast and bind.... and use the Lords name in vain. well if you say , its not your portion and that you are destined and favoured.... no worries , i dont doubt you and contest your faith. You have rights to hold your sane beliefs. you are free to choose a programme in Astro Physics with your BSC in yoruba, no worries Red sea would be divided for your case. here is the summary of the whole matter as it pertains to programme content; be real with your truth in this spite, and seek that which would complete your "headquaters" in peace and harmony Let me also use this opportunity to let this one out of the bag; seeing how people cry out for blocked account here and how many peoples dreams have been cut shot cos of they do not have sponsor or money , i will make some statements in the next 2 paragraphs.... these are my thoughts and no one should take it to heart. If you have the means to keep financial resources flowing your way while in Germany from Nigeria either through your parents/family/ or financial sponsor for your studies in Germany, i would advice you give 80% of your focus to your studies and 20% to work ( as a research assistant or something related to your studies ) + any loose percentage for travel and leisure....(my dear please enjoy Europe and don't dull). I highly recommend you travel for Academic conferences or youth development and empowerment programmes. while you are getting support from home, take this time to strengthen and sharpen your skills on softwares or technical skills required for your field of study or future profession. e,g GIS, Programming, R , statistical tools etc. If you dont have means of steady financial flows from Nigeria as above, its up to you to decide. But i will advice you give focus to your academics. Please try not to spend more than the required time for your programme . 2 years for masters should be 2 years . Do all you can to stay tops on your academics and make good grades. Above all learn a skill. For those of you, whose parents are in Government and steal our monies (...if this affects you, dont be angry or shy, we have pass that level in Nigeria... so no worries, no hard feelings from my side...) provided your pops or mom can be doling out the money in peace, you can use it to support other Nigerians or at best make donations to the NSIG ; Nigerians student group in Germany. Last last its our money, so no worries... But wasting it in bars in Europe in the name of feeling fly, is annoying especially when people know that your folks are in government and are thieves . i wont say more than this. please there is nothing to shy about it, we all know these things. if your family is in Govt, and they are stealing it, please steal it from them and help other Nigerians freely and dont go boasting about it, because its not your money. If you are angry about this and go on spending and lavishing the money, no worries.... Na your luck.... No hard feelings , Na God so "saraba" give u... Wish you all the best.

Dear colleagues on this group, please pardon me if I derail this group for just this one post. Please bear with me, I just want to reemphasize what has been said here repeatedly. Mentions of politics and religion are only to butteress the point. Sarcasm was implored as well. Dear justwise, If you see need to delete this post, please do. No hard feelings. Mr Nobody; First I will advice you change your name from nobody to somebody. Because you are indeed somebody, making contributions here and supporting people. However, it's also good to share the other side of the German story so people don't come and think gold is laid up on the streets of Germany. But I differ, on your disposition that this is what it is or would be for people who come to Germany. Life is a journey, everyone's journey is different and personal. That some people are having a hard time, does not mean is same for everyone. Abroad stories is different for many people, if you ask the Nigerian that came to Germany through the Mediterranean, his story is different. If you ask the lady who got a fine bobo in Germany and now have kids and enjoying life , their stories are different. They are people in Nigeria who are doing far better than those abroad. Obodo oyibo of today is no like before when all those uncles come back with goodies. Save for hushpuppi range of Nigerians, who cut it hard. More so, we are all aware of Nigerians who from their huts in Lagos, Abuja and so are doing their own stuff and don't need to travel abroad. For people on this thread, the path may be thus ; education - Work / enterprise/ PhD - German PR/citizenship or return to Nigeria. You would see that, the case of people here is different. It's not via asylum or what not. I suppose there may be a thread of platform for folks who want to try the sahara desert route. Here it's education, its about the most safe, orderly and dignified migration route for young people. I have a crop of fellows who left Nigeria 2014. To Germany for studies , all of them stories are different. Some don Dey do things for Nigeria sef via earnings from their work, some have successfully relocated their family to Germany, some PhD , some this and that. Life is a personal race. My advice is to you is; 1. Change your network of friends and associations, they may have been influencing you wrongly. If No; 2. You could try something completely new. I mean take a very rash but calculated decision to change your circumstance. 3. Stay positive. 4. Some people are uwa mgbede (late risers) kind of people, be patient ,calm and continue your hardwork, it will definitely pay. 5. Take out prejudices from your life if any. Oyibo is Oyibo, of course everyone wants the best for his/her people. Why would one blame them if they have such position of sending people back to your country after studies or law on recruitment. Luckily Germany us different. 6. And to be honest, Germany needs skilled people. Watch the developed world, they know something our governments don't know. Human capital is the next big thing, after which it would be AI ( and this would happen faster than you think). Every developed nation is wanting talents to come, even China with all their population is offering scholarships now like WizKid. What do you think is their intention ? Mention one developed nation that does not have one scholarship or program that seeks foreign talents to come to their country. Unfortunately only Nigeria ....hahahahahhahahahaha , instead we have ptdf, NDDC, and FG bilateral agreements that is sending out our best brains, even to Morocco. How many Moroccans have been sent on their governments money to come and study Igbo linguistics in Nigeria or even agricultural engineering....lolz The challenge in Nigeria is how to track those we have sent out and have them return to contribute. But first we have to create enabling environment for them to return and make their own contribution. I think Osibanjo is working on it, with their feeding programme and millions of jobs created in agriculture, that I am still finding it hard to identify a friend or neighbor that have benefited. Well I will continue searching, may be I would find. Back to our discussion; Bottom line brother is this, life journey is different for everyone one. Pray your God to bless you , to satisfy you early, because seriously, to what end is driving Ferrari at age 80. Try see Psalm 90:10-17 just Google, read Irrespective of your religion. Just read for reading sake. It's story about Moses who was disturbed about his life and progress at age 40. In life, there are (1) early starters, (2) middle men or on-time fellows, then you have the (3) late risers. Check with your secondary school graduate class. You will observe everyone has gone on different path and pace. The same is for every graduate set of this thread. Their stories are different. However this is a lesson for everyone on this this thread, life is a lone race, prepare yourself and run your race. Some decided it's USA, others Canada , but people here have decided it's Germany... I wish you the best, last last , we all go Dey alright. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

You have asked a very honest question. This shows you have a good heart and that you are a reasonable person. When you are offered admission and have made your choice of school; 1. Immediately , reply to the other schools with a rejection notification. Be polite and give a brief reason for declining their offer e.g" that you regret to let them know, you have accepted an offer else where" You could also let them know you would consider future learning opportunities with them. Who knows, you may want to transfer to their school, in that your preferred school did not meet your expectations, so it's wise to path amicably. Please be very polite when you write them. 2. Remember it took time, energy and resources to review your application, ignoring the university and the faculty who laboured thus; is not a good idea. 3. Imagine this habit is perculiar to Nigerians, what do you think will happen to other applications from later years they receive from Nigeria. The regard given to Nigerian degrees that many of you enjoy today are traceable to the good conduct and performance of the people ahead. Please don't mess things up. 4. When you let go of that space, they may consider someone else. sometimes depending on the school, the circumstances, and relation with the admissions unit , you could subtly suggest that your spot be offered to another willing candidate from your country or subsaharan Africa. It goes a long way to reinforce your claims in your motivational letter. 5. If you have made your choice of institution, respectfully and promptly reply to the other schools that you will not be joining them anymore. 6. Remember human beings are behind those computers responding to your emails and questions, they have emotions too, they feel bad when you don't show up after all their back and forth emails with you. I know you will say it's their job, yes I agree, but everyone deserves to be treated with respect and value. I advice people to read previous posts and earlier parts (1-5), I have seen a couple of lazy questions. Regards Rainy season is here, harmattan is coming...lolz Ndkings1: 17 Likes 4 Shares |

why not Photocopy of the student visa and Admission letter and keep passport safe at home? At best coloured print out ? To avoid stories that touch the soul. Just saying though ! [i]The above refers to processing discount ticket by Emirates ! [quote author=Bankyproperties post=69771599][/quote] |

My advice, Write a very strong appeal (email) to the embassy, explaining your situation and the unfortunate fate you faced last year, which is about to repeat it self this year. After that, Do same letter to the consular general, explaining your case, attach all the evidence. And please be sure you are telling the truth and nothing else, but the truth. Please do not make up stories. send this letter via courier or Nipost registered mail. then Go down on your knees and do the needful. Thank HIM when this works. Thaddnally: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dear Friends, sometime in March, i read through some pages here to learn about the Canadian TRV visa. i got invaluable insights here. I feel obligated to share my success story, may be this may help some one tomorrow. mission: going for a conference funding: i received funding from the organizers applied: 23rd, paper application documents submitted: - work contracts - certificate of leave - letter of introduction from work - bank statement - 1 page statement of purpose - bank accounts - travel insurance. - certified copies of my educational documents - letter of invitation - Notification of Travel grant award - then i missed attaching my payment slips and conference registration confirmation (though it was not available at the time), in the next lines you will see the moves i made to rectify this . Please guys, this is not advisable, do not make the mistake of not attaching any of your supporting documents. i learnt from this thread that one could email the embassy after documents have been submitted, on the condition that you have a cogent reason, for which the embassy may decide to acknowledge you email after evaluation on the basis of your genuineness and sincerity of your request, or otherwise ignore your email. Please i would encourage you to write only when you have a reason and only when its most expedient. then i wrote the embassy asking them to speed up processing of my application as the conference date was fast approaching. In the same letter i explained the circumstances for submitting my application the time i did, then attached the documents, which where now available at the time. in summary, on 18th April i got a response that "Your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office Abuja, on to the Canada Visa Application Centre" , two days after i received the courier. Lo and behold, it was Approved. thanks to Frank Reuben , he was supportive. lessons learnt 1. read, search, seek , ponder, consume wisely the information you find here. 2. Be honest, sincere , hold on to the truth that makes one free. 3. Dont despise people. 4.Believe. 7 Likes |

Johnnyessence: Your written English is improving. Keep it up. Don't relent. Make conscious efforts to continuously improve. Learning is a steady state of "Being". I understood how you felt when everybody was complaining of your bad grammar. They love you and want the best for you, that's the reason it seemed as though they were attacking you. No, they were only concerned. As responsible civil adults, they saw the need to protect our collective destiny as a people and that of generations to come. Thank you for accepting the rod of correction in good faith. I wish you well. 5 Likes |
