I really don't understand what you mean at bolded. Do you mean HND is equivalent to a Bsc?

bravesoul247:
Is an HND holder eligible for scholarship to do Masters or PGD?

On the 46th day, my Assurance Mail (AM) arrived. Sincerely it was not funny, I was always refreshing my mail morning and night.
For whatever reason it took that long, I don't know but to the glory of God it came which is the most important thing right now.

From someone that never believed that it was possible to get a Visa without the help of an agent or agency, I pour out my heartfelt gratitude to everyone on this platform that made it possible for us to scale through the numerous hurdles without being found wanting. God bless you all.

The plan for masters had always been next year, and I was looking at Canada and US. But going through their nairaland forum to see how they were dashing people rejection sha, I had to do a U-turn ...until someone advised people there to stop killing themselves and wasting money but to try Germany, that a good number of courses are taught in English (information that I didn't have before), then I decided to check for my course in Germany via DAAD, and behold I found the course though in a Private University but with a cheaper tuition compared to Canada and USA.
This was in April. So that was when my running around started, with the loads of info here it was so smooth and timely, except waiting for AM sha. Even though enrollment and lectures resumed today, I was able to get extension till the end of the month.

@Gent009

Now I believe some persons use agents. Let me tell you what happened when I went for my student visa interview at the German Consulate in Lagos. Perhaps, you may learn one or two things from it.

I had my interview on the 29 day of August, 2018; together with two other friends. One of my friends who was the 5th person on the cue was sent to the back of the line by Paulinus. He was replaced by another guy.


When Paulinus asked us to drop originals and photocopies of proof of funding; the new guy had SL but didn't know that's the proof of funding. Trust Paulinus, he sent him out. He automatically became the last person on the line.


When it eventually got to his turn again, he was asked if he has his visa application fee. Baba said the cash is with the agent that processed his application for him. The agent didn't tell him he would make payment on the day of his interview. Unfortunately, he was sent home. I doubt if he could resecured an appointment at the Consulate for winter 2018.


I don't think you are very busy compared to most persons in the group. If you want to use an agent, it simply means you don't consider your studies in Germany a priority.

When you are ready to study in Germany, I strongly believe you'll carve out time for yourself!

micah1865:
I just realized i didnt submit my WAEC scratch card. What do i do?

uchezdedon:


Sorry you misunderstood me. I was trying to pass a message to u but it's unfortunate u only see it as an insult. I'm not here to insult anybody and have never did.

Dutchkid:

Biko no vex.. I have more than five different afidavit. I have visited state and federal high court severally and it isn't yielding any result. Hence i decided to use this medium. High courts in the far north dont do much of this kind of passport affidavit and certification. funny enough some don't know what certification is. Sorry for the series of questions Thanks

victree007:

I did mine with 2 passports each for myself and my family member. A friend went with same so I guess you can as well do the very same.
Biko if you have further questions, kindly goto the nearest high court to you during the week and make inquiries.

victree007:

You are quoting my statement that says #get someone/anyone to follow you there to stand as a family member# and you are still asking this kind of question.
PLEASE GET ANYONE TO FOLLOW YOU THERE.
ANYONE...
Don't bother mentioning your sister on the affidavit if she won't be there present with you. You may be turned back.
All the people you call bros and aunty in your area, talk to one of them to follow you. It is that simple

johndoefoo:


You need two things, your sister's passport photo and signature... and you can use any of your family member.

uchezdedon:


Na 4 my mouth u wan hear say bitter leaf dey bitter? Abeg find way get ur age declaration and stop this childish question.

victree007:

Get someone/anyone to follow you there to stand as a family member.

My journey from Jos to Lagos was blissful. I had my interview yesterday the 30th of August. Prior to that day, I couldn't sleep. In fact through out the night, my eyes were wide awake. As early as 4.am, I had dressed up already and journeyed from my place of temporary abode; Surulere to VI. I did not bother much because I was given a ride. I arrived 5.35am, and people had queued up already. Should be no 7 or so on the queue.

................Shortly afterwards, the Legendary Mr. Paulinus arrived. He is indeed the perfect opposite of the word - patience. I observed he loves to be begged...He barked like a king talking to his retinues..... He spoke with an air of finality.

I got screened, and arrived at the ultimate stage.As expected, my adrenaline was not in agreement with me.The embassy rest room, became a sort of pilgrimage for me as I visited it so many times.At last , I mustered courage, and lo and behold... it became my turn. The VO with a blond hair( dyed)

VO: good morning, and kindly shut the door properly please.

Me: good morning ma'am
VO: what's your discipline, and your CGPA
Me: Hmm, I muttered Physics from the University of Jos. As I told her my CGPA, I never knew I was in for big Inquisition.

VO: so that means you graduated with.... okay explain to me the theorem of relativity propounded by Albert E.

Me: I explained with ease and stated the equations as required.
VO: she then smiled and asked me again who invented the light bulb.

Me: I was like what...I muttered the name, and began to explain the theorem of electromagnetic induction propounded by Michael Faraday.

VO: she looked at me again, browsing what I said to her. Smiled....I was about praising you, but you did not write your school address here. She passed my application form to me.What is your means of subsistence?

Me: I got nominated for the KAAD Scholarship, but it has not yet been finalized until I arrive jena.

Vo: she checked for it, and said if it can be used... she left to confirm from her colleague. She came back and asked me if I had any letter that can back this up. That the scholarship starts from when I arrive Germany, but the want the one that starts from here. Any back up letter of final proof can suffice.

Me: at this point, I looked ruffled. I knew what she meant. My desire to get an SL seems like a herculean task. I thought of the young man who sat beside me telling me how he not only blocked, but used the fintiba insurance. I deemed him lucky,and wished I was not in this fate of lack of funds.. In a flash,I saw lack of funds as a crime..... ma'am, I don't know if I can get a backup letter.

VO: she looked at me, and said try and get any even though it is a guarantor form.so that you can send it to us as a backup. She wished it was finalized already. Ok, tell me why this course?

Me: I explained what Medical Photonics entails, she typed slowly. I was elaborate .

VO: where do you see yourself from now,like what will this course do for you?

Me: I gave her three points. She nodded her head in affirmation.

Vo: but why is your name M......

Me: I explained how my mum was childless for a long time before she gave birth to me,and being an ardent Catholic then, she christened me that.

Vo: she then proceeded to ask me if I was the first born, and how many siblings I have. Then she asked of my dad...

Me: he's late.

VO: oh, ehyaa, I am sorry. what year did that happen, and how long?

Me: hmm, I told her, and I was like ......ma'am I don't need self pity , I just need the hand of God over my life.

VO: okay tell me facts about Germany.
Me: I gave her facts, I mean absolute facts......she kept on typing.

VO: how many states does Germany have?
Me: Germany have 16 states.
VO: she nodded slowly and quizzed me randomly....what is the name of the state you are going to?

Me: Thuringia
VO: okay, what is the capital of saxony anhalt.. and what is the capital of lower Saxony?

Me: I gave her the capital as magdeburg, and Hanover respectively, to her amazement. She became tired of quizzing me.We were both tired.I peeped at her computer .

VO: okay, I want you to send the backup as quick as possible. Your scholarship shows you have to be in jena for it to be finalized. But you need to show the one for visa here.Even though it is a guarantor form, just send ( I felt this means SL ) .You need your visa as soon as possible. She continued.... send any to us, if you can get a back up letter from KAAD, then send.Time is short and you need to travel soon, if not you won't meet up. She never knew that the KAAD is of two types. She spoke as if I have it ready, my visa will be out in one week...... Okay, have a nice day.

Me:Thank you ma'am.
