Mr obi, how did your friend resolve this. ?

Obinoscopy:
Hi,

Please someone has an invitation to Denmark for September 11 to 24 and then from November 20 to December 3.

Concerning obtaining a Travel Insurance for Schengen Visa application, I want to know if it's better to split it into 2 weeks each (Sept 11 to 24 and Nov 20 to Dec 3) or to merge it into just one insurance of 12 weeks (Sept 11 to Dec 3)?

Which would jeopardise the person's chances? Are both options allowed?

you are just talking because they gave you the opportunity to come to their country to study for free. hahahahahahaha

Nigerians and their gots.

Go to UNN or UI nahhhhh hahahahahahaha [color=#990000][/color]

Negro1986:


@Johnnyessence please all that are affected should bombard them with emails oo,, its very disheartening for someone to undergo the stress of admission and the expenses involved , and after just to be told that the dreams will die off just like that, because the embassy cannot schedule appointment when we all know that its not prospective student's fault on when the admission status/results are released.... If there is quota to the number of Nigerian students they can accommodate in any given semester then that should be made public for for Nigerians and the whole world to know, other than that its not a enough reason to deny people the opportunity of pursuing their academic dreams.... Those that are affected we stand with you and pray that a positive solution will come in time... Never give up on your dreams guys...... We will achieve our goals, fulfil our heart desires and dream come through to all who believe Amen...

Hello guys,

Am going to NIPOST Office today to send a mail to Germany, lets keep track of my mail delivery time.

lets just play about this, and lets see the efficient NIPOST in action.

Toluwaase:
I need your help NIPOST ambassador.
I sent my package before reading this thread, I could have acted differently if I had all the information I am now getting from here.

Please the package contains documents and gift items weighing close to 2 kg. It was addressed to a Private mail bag in Ibadan. My question is: will it be delivered to the private mail bag even with the gift items? I have read on this thread that customs sometimes seize packages? What is the fate of my package? There is no tracking number, no phone number, no return address on the package. It was sent through regular mail from Canada

Dear Tolu, All things been equal, the mail will get to the private mail bag.

on the other hand, take MRSNaira's advice, ask the mail recipient to go to the closest state NIPOST headquarter to find out of the delivery.

Now that you know better about NIPOST services, am sure you know the write approach to send differently categories of mail.

sorry you were unlucky this time.


read the posts here, you will see some people have been impressed with EMS services.

i sent a package of books to Germany from insurgency thorn north east Nigeria, it was opened by the germans and resealed too.

my question is this, was any of the items sent to you missing?

if no , then its part of security procedures.

lol, fuji house of commotion tins... nd i cn spot our radio without battery babe ,

chino, why talk like this? Ba kio walahi

CassieV:
Lol see how everyone is attacking one person. I don't see anything wrong with what she's said IMO.

She's not being negative, she's just being realistic. She never said no one should come to Germany, she's only just trying to let you all know that it isn't all bed of roses there.

I like reading her contributions to this thread because she tells it how it is. I wouldn't want to go there with the impression that things will go smoothly and it turns out rough, I'd rather go with the impression that I'll struggle to keep body and soul together, it'll help keep me focused and determined.

You'll should take it easy, I don't find her posts discouraging at all, they're enlightening. It'll give you ideas on how to survive.

My opinion of course, we're all entitled to it.

That said, I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone for their contributions to the thread. Please keep them coming, they're all very helpful.

Thanks

if you like triplet or quadruplet, God go give you.

you talk well.

Augustine21:
All one needs to fail in life is enough pessimism, whether you are in America or Syria. Nevertheless, one's environment plays a crucial role in the full realization of potentials. I know for sure that if you can survive in Nigeria, you can survive in many parts of the world because things are really and currently tough in our Heimland. THERE IS CONFIRM HARDSHIP IN NIGERIA. Everything is expensive, the rate of unemployment soars higher with each passing year, education, the bedrock for the development of nations, is deteriorating daily and the Government seems clueless.

However, this is our country and we should not hate her but rather help her. Certainly, there are a lot of individuals on this forum who dream of aiding in the reconstruction of our nation. My prayer is that our dreams for Nigeria and not nightmares will become real. Please, the world is full of enough discouragement already. We dont want more and I must say that I am happy to know that negativity irritates us on this forum.

Yes madam. Maybe you don't know ooo but majority, if not all of your contributions on this part 3 thread have been towards the negative side. I was discussing with a group of friends who also belong to this forum and a question popped up one day- WHO IS THAT SCHWARZ? Our short conversation about you was full of resentment, disregard and disappointment. Your comments are full of hopelessness and strife.

Do you know what a corporate job in naija is now like? You go wake up 4am, leave house 5am, come house 10pm after beta workload, frustration and confirm hold-up to meet no NEPA and thereafter leave house the next day at 5am. Dont forget weekends oooo YES Saturday and Sunday. Most employers now in Naija want you to work overtime without extra pay. Forget leave ooo, the country is economizing and companies are cutting-costs, so we need you daily. On the hand, the reverse is the case in Deutschland. My uncle lives and works in Germany. In April, he was on an 8 weeks holiday here in naija. Summer holiday is coming soon ooo not to talk of Christmas breaks. These things dont happen here frequently anymore. STUDYING AND WORKING IN NAIJA ALMOST DOESN'T HAPPEN. STOP PAINTING GERMANY BLACK AND DISCOURAGING PEOPLE

Finally my guys, shopping in developed nations are beta than in Naija. Things like clothes, food, electronics are relatively affordable and have good qualities because they are manufactured in the country and are seldom imported. How many students in naija can dream of buying a good Laptop on their own? or pay house rent or health insurance without assistance? how many Nigerians are even on health insurance?

Believe is what gives hope. Hope is what drives actions and Actions are what yield results.

Wintermann

good point

can you see how this guy reacted. he didn't abuse Schwartz at all.

you talk well bros,

but still, Schwartz kind of stories are important , before over optimism begin cause trouble.

dangers of single stories

balance is all there is

I can vividly remember telling this our lady shwarzt to pray hard but she would not listen

Schwartz change ur mindset
we beg u

bros, abeg respect people.

Eke40seven:


The truth is that, a laptop is more expensive in Germany because the cost of marketing and sales is more and wages ar higher. If you display a ware n Germany, the seller will collect nothing less than 8.50 and hour while in Nigeria, that 8.50 will last for an entire day.

Note that this question is coming from someone with only the naira and have not made a dime from Germany. A laptop for 300 euros will certainly be a normal laptop of with basic features or I even bet it might be a secondhand laptop. If you convert that amount in naira, 300*370, you know the kind laptop wey you go use am buy.
@Ohaskid, buy your laptops and phones from Nigeria. A Samsung in Nigeria is the same Samsung anywhere in the world.

eke you are blessed. people, just dey talk anyhow.

aunty scwatz was making a good point.

sense of value is all there is.

nevilbot:


Ist of all, you really made me laff with this your comment. I laffed so hard I didn't even know how to reply you. You are converting 8€ paracetamol and comparing it to Nigerian emzor and saying 350€ laptop is a China laptop. Baby girl plz go broaden your horizon and stop mingling with those who keep giving you negative stories abt Germany. It won't help you going forward. I'm a damn realist and anyone who knows me here know I say it the way it is. And mind you I don't shop on eBay neither do I pratonize Primark or flohmarkt. When you are in Germany think like a German and stop making euro to naira conversion before you buy things, it won't help u.

You keep talking abt people not getting jobs or intern slot while I keep seeing Nigerians who have gotten jobs here. Them no get two heads, think positive. #enuf said, enjoy ur summer

No! I beg to decline on this.

I think it depends on individual and their state of mind in Germany. foreigners in Nigeria do this conversion as well. its a normal thing.
its called value for money.
Are you aware that one of the reasons IMF and some other intl finance stakeholders pushed for devaluation is that things are cheap in Nigeria.
forget our issues guy, but if you look am well u will see that price is not really hiked like that. all these subsides,although masked with corruption they help in one way or the other.


now, for those who have given up on Naija, u are likely to stop converting to naira, unto say na forward ever. that does not mean if u convert, u don't think home, before una go begin raise tantrums.

but if you think home always, u fit dey reason conversion every now and then.

well, the bottom line is "value for money" . if converting to naira make you appreciate you expenditure or purchasing power, pls convert.

relate the value of your money with the society and economy that you are familiar with. money is money any where, the only issue is value.

but remember say for shoprite we buy stuffs a bit higher than price in street shops.

y? because of the AC, the lady at the counter wey dey smile like lekeleke, the ambience, their bread smell self join etc.

on this matter consider Germany as shoprite, and Naija as the street shop.

now st Louis sugar is 230 in shoprite and 200 in street shop. but note that those vegetables (ugu, water leaf, etc) in shoprite can't be compared to the ones of those market women in oja-oba.

for example, shop rite sell a wrap of dead and discouraging ugu leaves for 500, and iyalode in ojaoba sell same sized wrap of fresh and green ugu leaves for 50 naira.
mind you na just to wash very well and cook ooo, except say shoprite dey wash their own with dettol.

so people, all there is ,in this discuss is value for money.

people wey dey talk this and DAT about buying their stuff in Germany still import garri and other stuffs when dey have the opportunity or have their folks send stuffs to them.
well I know African food is sold any where in this world because our Igbo brother must do business. abi no be so?

but, make I talk true, I no fit buy a cup of ijebu garri for 50euros, if at all say I do am. I go cry for like 10mins......

VALUE is all there is!

hadassaheke:
Good day, please is/are there anybody/persons staying in Enugu that wants to send his/her documents next week to Germany.?
Please do indicate or send me a PM, so that we can split the cost and send it to someone in Germany to dispatch for us.
Thanks!

What is this one saying ? Sending documents to where ?

Why do u want to send it to some one to dispatch, are they your applications document.

Guy! Every Nipost office in Enugu is on point.

Sending documents could go as low as 250naira and will get to Germany in 8 days at worst 14days or even less sef.

So I don't get the idea of sending to somebody in germany first, worst of it doing collabo sending ?

I really don't understand what you intend to achieve.

Kowachiate ofuma ooooo nne !

DawnEden:

If I were u, provided the background colour of ur transcript is white, I will tipex the address on the front page and photocopy it then certify as many as possible

I forbid you to give such advice! I bind you with all things celestial, You left over of the Old Nigeria.

How can you advice he mutilate such a sensitive document.

I can't even trust your FSLC let alone wAEC and Degree cert.

You either repent or drown with the old Nigeria.

If not for any thing, I appreciate the way Germans have forced us to be sincere in our application, no matter how hard you try to jungle the process.

Justwise, you should respond to stuffs like this.

Watch out for this guy, he is a potential Budget padder .

Am watching you closely.

chinok97:
Fellow nairalanders.. First time of contributing here, i need help actually.. I ran into some ish at unilag, long story. I'm out now.. My parents are trying to send me to Germany to study information technology via English medium, we got a so called trusted agent to help us do d process, he wil Start officially April 5..my own personal digging doesn't correlate to his own words.. He said i dont need any extra documents again.. Apart from my o'levels?.. Pls how correct is that? because he seems to be sure of himself, like. He has done it before?.. Tho i will be enrolling at a goethe Institute by April 11 sha,just my own personal need nd also would register for d ielts later. I don't know if i should put my last chance on this agent?.. Or start the process myself. Agent fee :half a mil nd i m still 20yrs of age.

I really like your initiative. I like it when people want to take their destiny serious. There is nothing wrong in seeking understanding in whatever you are doing.
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong in engaging the service of another. Only, things should be done properly to achieve the desired goal.

You eat in a restaurant, not because u can't cook. However your circumstance at that time T, requires that some else cooks for you, makes it available on the road side or somewhere accessible or proximate to your working place.

So I won't join in condemning agency or consultancy.

Having said this, here is my resolve;

Simply put, its best to do it your self. At least you will learn from the process. AS a nairalander on this thread, I will advise you read at least 100- 200 pages of this thread. After wards u will be a consultant too. Lol

But if you still need assistance in the process you can contact me.

I run an edu consult for University education in Europe, the gulf countries and Asian Tiger nations.

Our charges are far below what you were charged. And you have the chance to pay only after you have admission offer.

We have a package whereby you are completely in charge of the process, and we only guide you through the process. The charge is very small. Our services on this package includes; reviewing Mletters, constructively filling your forms, school and scholarship search and get your transcripts In good time using our contacts in some universities in Nigeria (e.g UNN, Unilag, UniBen, some private uni, etc) .

This service is highly flexible. Tell us what you want us to do for you in the process and we stick to it.

Have been doing this free of charge (FOC) for people over the years, but for now,daddy status frowns at FOC packages. Lol!

Toroze:
Bruv all things being equal it really is a daft question, a year and a half a go on this thread he'd have been bashed for looking for some to spoon feed him ----my2cowries

My dear, things have changed here ! That's y I don't comment, except I see its utterly necessary.

Laziness is littered every where. This generation always seek easy way out. They see every thing as jamb and WAEC runs.

One can not comfortably ask for his or her cowries again.
Chai ! Nigeria , my Nigeria. Its such a pity.

SAMUELS3:
I wana get letter of English language proficiency from my Univ. Here in Nigeria because the schools i want to apply to requested for it. The university which I graduated from is requesting for the address of the school in germany in order to put it in the letter.
Since I want to use the letter for more than one schools in germany for admissions, which general address can I use?

Please help a brother, save a soul

Use your home or contact address.

Williamso:

Seriously? You did not see it on your school's/program's website, you did not deem it fit to mail someone in your school, and you're coming to post this silly question here? Keep waiting for a reasonable answer. Hopefully, your course coordinator is a nairalander... Quatsch!

William , May God Bless you. You answer'am well

Please, I need help on schools in Germany that accept a cgpa of 2.7 for masters. I sent mails to some of the schools in Germany and they all replied that there was no clear-cut mark. However i've been refused admission by the ones i've applied for so far. I want to know if it's directly as a result of my cgpa or something else. Thanks

What do you want to study ?

Can you change your choice course if need be ?

Do you have work experience in the field you want to further your studies ? If yes how many years ?

You can shift to a professional masters instead of an Academic masters. But this depends on the field. If you try MBA na die you dey !

What is the strength of your Mletter and Reco Letter. You may have to change your referees to others with larger portfolio who would write strongly with no reservation.

Hope your app form does not have grammar errors every where ? These are little things that matter.

Should you need review of your apps I can help YOU for free.

And if you are the stubborn type, that would not accept correction, please stay where you are, don't bother.
If that is the case, kindly ignore my comments.

Please I need ur help and quick reply i gain admission into tu clausther university bachelor mechanical engineer my questions (1) where can I authenticate my document his it abuja ministry of forign affair nd education or german embassy his or his there any different b/w authentication of documents and legalisation of document (2) I supose to have resume my language school which d skul enrolled me on the 4th of january 2016 but my opening of account got delay can my school extend the time mean. while I already have a1 from goethe(3)pls wat all the documents needed for german student in nigeria

Your English language ability is poor. Kindly improve.
The level of phonological interference in your use of English is alarming. You repeatedly used "his" in place of "is", I could not bear that one. If you continue like this, Nigeria will completely be regarded as a non english speaking country. TOEfl and ielts go dey fat on top d austerity measures wey we country dey.

Let's just agree that you were trying to be comical, like the last sentence above.

Go to high court in Abuja or the German Embassy. Know that the German Embassy will charge a fee. High court in Enugu charge 30 naira per page. I don't know how much Abuja court will charge, you know every thing in abuja is Expensive, so budget 50-100 per page.

For authentication and/or Legalisation, I advise you use the dictionary first, when that fails, I will write you an essay on the duo.

Please I have dropped this piece of advice with all humility and no disrespect, but in love and protection of our common integrity as members of an English speaking country.

A lot of us can pay to learn German, but not willing to make any extra effort to have mastery of English language. After secondary school, english language is stale news.

Me I dey find centre wey dey teach english, I wan unlearn, learn and relearn. I wan speak pass Baba wole soyinka.lol

But german dream ehnnnnn....

Its pains me when people don't understand the nature and dynamics of igbo political structure and philosophy, which is as old as igbo itself.

In igboland, we consider heads in leadership not one head. We consider sole rulership as enemy. Consider the word Ezebuilo .
Igbo enweghi Eze I.e igbo not igbos do not have king.

Consider 'madu bu chi ibeya I.e man is god to his fellow man, meaning that even the destiny of a man with the king title lies in the hands of his fellow igbo.

My point is this, the igbos have a way of ruling themselves and ensuring peace and tranqulity. The so called Nigerian leaders of igbo extraction will NEVER command the amount of
Power and authority they have in Nigeria in the proposed Biafra. Its will never be like that.

Do you know that these igbo politicians may not be at peace with their clan men or even village, some of them are even ignored when they return home. Do you know that they may have close cousins that have never begged them for one naira.
That is the power of self determination. Every igbo man believes he can achieve any level of success, regardless his current situation.

He stays puts and drink his garri rather than being a beggar. Its only in igbo land that I have seen young people challenge a rich man saying he has eaten their luck, that's is why he returns every december to kill cow for the villagers.
He dares to challenge the rich man, if he must always be the one to buy cow every year, he dares him to a bet, that he will be the one to kill cow for the villagers next year.

These are practical things that happen in igboland. Instead of turning Alamajiri for one Alhaji, he sets off koboless to Lagos and Abuja, and returns home after a year with hummer jeep.

If I were Nigeria, I will allow the igbo man be !

Is it only document you can send through post office because I feel like sending my stuffs from Ibadan to a town in edo State in my ppa
