Yes bro, but am still in nigeria preparing for my departure.

Do you know anyone going to d same school?

Dehonourable:
Ekeson, u re my brother and also a friend but I must tell you openly to refrain from all this ur ranking dis and ranking that because it's your recent post about ranking that brought about the arguments. We have treated dis matter long ago. So it will be in-appropriate for you or any other person(s) to re-surface the matter.

I can recall that same thing happened last year when you tried to compare Rhine waal with Uni lag.

I am not d type that talk much or brag. Infact, my school hosts one of the best solid state research in germany and also among d top best universities in world for material science and engineering.

Pls, enough of this and let's respect ourselves.


Danke.

@Cindino20, It's like you people do not want us to be part it? How can you organise this even on the 3rd of October when some of us just landed, some still on the way and others still awaiting their visa approvals? Is there no way this even can be shifted to Nov/Dec?

kilo4sure:

Peeps in Germany, please how much and how long does it take to post transcripts to USA from Germany using deutsche post.?

I wonder when it has become a crime for someone to air his/her harmless views. That is the problem with Nigerians. The guys is concerned about his future and someone is telling him that if he doesn't like it that he should move to other countries as if he did not see other countries before choosing to study in Germany.

The story he just shared is everywhere on the news and internet. And someone is telling him to come up with a proof. I feel for those refugee fleeing their country because of war. My heart goes out for them.

Sentiments has made some of us to want to dispute the fact that we don't know what this Arabs are capable of. How do you differentiate between suicide bombers and real asylum seekers? It will be absolutely impossible to conduct a screening to know exactly who this refugees truly are.

No one is taking about religion here but the eminent danger ahead.

First thing, I do not think all Asians are Chinese. (That's a ridiculous thing to say. Only an idiot thinks that all Asians are Chinese! ). And I'm not judging these guys... We are all entitled to our opinions...
Even though I do feel bad about what's happening to these people, I can't help but fear what's coming along with them. I'm not German. And I'm not complaining about them coming to Europe or about them getting help. I also do welcome them and my heart goes out to them...
That doesn't mean that I am not afraid of what they are capable of.
if u read clearly I had written culture... I do not have a fear for Islam for I have studied the religion and I understand it to an extent.... Nobody talked about Islam. And no, I do not judge a book by its cover. I judge it by the contents. Good night ya'll. and let's be done with refugees before we start calling eachother names over things that are not our business.

Cindino20:




Even as you try to defend ur self....your words gave you away......

Happy sunday sister

Zeeblamj01:
They will not leave their culture behind. They will start to misbehave and protest and cause trouble even after all the help given to them... Italy is less Organised and that's where these guys really do their bullshit... I called them names out of anger cause of things I was told by some family friends about them...
Hopefully all this will be controlled in time. Or these guys will change their ways... Just don't want it to be that Europe is welcoming with open arms, an army...

yusufftaiwo:

Always on point
Even cameron said UK will accept about 25 thousands this year and just today the EU chief said about 160 thousands migrants would be shared by all the 28 EU countries... So just get use to it because dis guys (migrants will be around for a lil while )

Williamso:

Spot on! I owe you a beer for this post

Williamso:

I see what you did there


Never say never. But honestly, chances are very slim. I hope your case will be the exception but the shortest I know of is 16 days.

Eke40seven:
LOL...see national debate.
@Ogagajay, Nigeria is not in any way regarded as native speakers of English as its not pur mother tongue, may be in years to come when we loose our mother tongues completely (God forbid) like Singapore (by the way, their English don turn Singlish) we may get that status, and what's applicable to school, (in fact, department A) might not be applicable to B.
And for those waiting for visa and are unecessarily under pressure, just suck on this stats
Admission: January 3rd
Booked for visa: May 1st
Date given: July 1st
Visa Approval: Not yet
present date: September 4th
May be I have some of the blame, but when you look that up, I hope it gives you the confidence to man up, gulp down a few bottles (whichever one takes your fancy), kick back and relax with a cool smile and let your imagination explore the beauty of Germany, of course, with you in the scenery.
Man up boys!!

Thanks for d suggestion but am not thinking of it

Pls wat are the procedures for applying for a German Transit visa?i wish to pass tru germany to mexico.tnks i intend using lufthansa..and is it difficult to obtain the airport transit visa?

zeeblamj:

IF BY SCHENGEN VISA U MEANT VISIT OR TOURIST VISA, the answer is NO, NO NO. The only way u can convert it is
A: seek asylum. (Which sucks)
B: be heavily pregnant and have a person with a work permit in Germany who claims he is responsible u( which I doubt is the case.)
C: complicated health problems( this only delays ur coming back, not gives u a permit.
D: be highly skilled and find a company or whatever that wants u asap, then u can stay without a problem.
Bottom line u cannot apply for a work permit in Germany as a tourist. It cannot be converted except on extremely special occasions

bissiejoe:
Good day all,
Been a while and i hope we are all finding the journey to Deutschland very smooth.
I am here on the defense of the veterans like me who don't comment here anymore, using my own situation. Most times when i come on this forum, i am faced with the challenge of reading like 20 pages, because this thread is very active, few people will argue against that. And most of this queries when i read them have always been answered eloquently, so I don't see any need to add more if i consider that i have to go to class, go to work, read on my own and also cook, it saves me hours and one thing i realised missing is the life here in Germany which some other guys have equally made comments about. It is not easy combining studies and working and also coming here every now and then to make comments, the time is not even there because when you go to class, you will do more self study and there is nothing like area of concentration for exams, you have to know and study everything.
And about the language, you really have to do something from Nigeria to get the basics before coming cos if you don't, you may be frustrated at first with life over here. Learning in Naija would help ur writing and reading a lot and knowledge of words, though you may have little problem with hearing and speaking cos of our accent. The language is key for job opportunities, most germans know basic english and only struggle with vocabularies but will never speak english to you when you apply for work and only few will do. If you need to buy something from them, they will gladly do even when they are struggling with it as we struggle with theirs.
About life here, different strokes for different folks, so it depends on luck and ur zeal and like i always tell people, if you think you can be here as a student and think you will be making money to build mansion in Nigeria, you are on your own but atleast you will make money to fend for urself and pay bills and save little change depending on ur lifestyle(i said this cos i know some folks have that mentality).
Lastly, studies here is not cheap cake coupled with the fact that international students do combine studies with work made it very difficult, but it is possible and can be achieve if you are determine(in Kanu Nwankwo's voice) and focus. With the right zeal and discipline, it can be achieve.

And having in mind that with God all things i men everything is possible
