We have a high population of youth looking to migrate and tuition is free in public unis in the country, it’s not hard to see why they are doing like this
Forget all these all other excuses, they don’t want their country to become Nigerian extension and if you check well Germany acceptance rate is high if you fulfill all requirements you’re likely to get Visa unlike some countries that will collect your money and still reject high number of people
I see it as, they rather not give out dates than give out dates collect money and reject the person even when they fulfill requirements

You’re comparing with Benin republic where the population is like 12 million, and some of these African countries their citizens are not as desperate to migrate like Nigerians where japa feels like our mantra

OdogwuEkeke:
Yesterday evening I got intel that Nigerians are not making good use of the free tuition in Germany. The statistics show that Nigerians do not spend the required time to finish a master's program. I was told most spend 4years when the ideal plan is to spend 2years and leave, some others do not even attend lectures but rather just get a job and drop out from school. So technically, it's not like Nigerians are doing crime per se, we are not just going according to the objectives of the tuition-free agenda. This in a way would hinder others from coming because they are still enjoying the student benefits which was not intended for that long. With the Nigerian population, we cannot be the only ones enjoying free tuition in Germany. What she said was tending towards an unofficial ban on Nigerian students because other countries are getting dates and moving into Germany. At this point, I would drop the pen until I am proven otherwise about this issue. All the best with your plan B.

waledora:
I don't know of that system, your sponsor must be a German.

It's not fear mongering, I don't people spreading fake news/fake hopes. On this same thread, people claiming they can save 10k Euros per year which is very Impossible. Too many fake facts spreading. After semesters people have the time to work as long as they want, I know about that & 16Euros per hour is high & probably on a very high skilled work.

You can also be earning money via your Dorm account & the government cannot know about it as long as the organization agrees to transfer to it, I'm asking because people do things secretly without saying the true picture.

odimbannamdi:


Bro, do u mind shedding a little light on the emboldened?

What are KVR and Finanzamt?
Why did you use 9k as a benchmark
Why would one be asked to pay back the extra money if s/he earns more than 9k?

chimax1:
Gurus pls help me make a decision. Am choosing a city based on job opportunities. I have to choose between koethen( HS anhalt), Bayreuth (uni Bayreuth), pfarrkirchen (DIT)

truthsayer009:


The problem with these stories is, you never see someone online saying "I was working 20 hours per week & making X amount". What you hear is , a friend of mine bla bla bla. This isn't the first time people are coming up with stories please.

henriq2:
How are you doing? Are you still in Munich

Fustinachichi:
Wow...by this time Last year, i was sleeping here...what a Forum...i wish u all success....i remember the wait after interview ..lol....its well....a liitle tiny advice:

If the VO says "do u have any question for me?"

Say "I will love to use my time in enrolling for a german language class here in Lagos/abuja as i await ur response, do u think i should go ahead?"

Now if the VO says No, its not necessary(Nna i apologise) but if the VO says Yes excitedly, ur Visa is set(go and start packing)

Ps:German is everything here...learn learn learn the language(u can even do Nursing for free here if u know the language)

truthsayer009:


That person you know, does the income touch down into his Account as deposit?

Because once you do that, the Government knows you earn more than 8Euros & also work more than 20 hours.

So, is he collecting money by hand?

truthsayer009:


With 20 hours per week as a student? You know you're lying right?

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.

My Gold advice for anyone with less means going to Germany as a student is that before you travel from Nigeria, go and learn the skill of braiding hair or weaving hair.

There is no limit to how much you can charge to offer that service to customers. People will call you for home service, etc if you promote yourself well.

Money from such services do not go through the tax system because it is cash to hand. This skill also gives you additional income as a student.

€500 per month AFTER all expenses

Not possible as a student

Fabcol:
Boss pompido for someone coming to study economics any advise on skills or tools to get familiar with

Basalt:
But I really find it hard to imagine how someone will fail one course three times.
I mean, can someone explain to me because it's too difficult for me to figure out.

How can you write course one time, fail.
Write another time, and fail.
Write on the third time and fail.

For me, it means you are not competent for that course and should be immediately dismissed not only from the department but also have your student visa revoked for that particular course of interest

janettee:
Basic foodstuffs to bring while coming in my opinion: egusi, ogbono, dried fish, stock fish, ground pepper, dried bitter leaves, crayfish, red oil.

These are the basics, bring as much as you can!. The red oil sold in African stores is trash in my opinion .

While cooking Nigerian soups here, you can always use spinach as your vegetable.

janettee:
This is sold for 1.99€.

You don't necessarily need to buy stock cubes while coming.

pompido:
Let me clarify here that I had already worked a few years in Nigeria in the IT field so I kind of found the course easier than most people did. That was why I was able to clear all my courses while hustling like there was no tomorrow.

Also, because there was no way I could cope with hustling and attending lectures, I stopped going for classes except labs and presentations.

I would spend whatever time I wasn't working reading up slides and doing my research for presentation or writing papers. This way I was always almost ready for exam. I always made sure to go for final revision classes by the profs though where they would talk about the difficult areas of the course and possible give ideas on what to expect on the exam.

So, yes I kind of breezed through the course but classes and language suffered and I still ended up spending 2.5 years to finish.

Basalt:
Is it possible to save like 10,000 euros every year while doing my MSc in Germany?

I really wanna save lots of money, so that even before the end of my MSc in Germany, I don get plenty money for account. I plan to overwork myself during summer holidays and save lots of money.
Education ain't my main reason of planning to go to Germany, making money is my number one reason I wanna leave this shitthole. I wanna visit home after my studies smelling money money before going back to keep hustling for more

deleven:
I read about Ausbildung or Studium. Do people(Nairaland members) know about this? Is not everyone that can read or study in a university.

Does anyone have idea about how Ausbildung works?
Would you mind enlightening us?

Danke im voraus
