To all those on this thread, to those in Netherland, and to the intending ones; I will us to take a critical look at moving to Netherlands. Is it really worth it?

1. We spend a lot to get the Visa, I know what Nigerians go through before getting Visa in Ghana
2. The large sum spent on flight is another palaver on its own
3. You discover that though Netherlands is not so much a racial community, you will only find large concentration of blacks in Amsterdam
4. The balcks over there are in either barbing, driving of Taxi, or other related services. You just don't get jobs like we do in Nigeria
5. The schools here are nice but expensive, but after school, what next?
6. Most of or guys here in order to have a foothold have to marry the Locals either you like it or not
7. The weather is not as friendly as ours
8. I discovered that most moving out are either in their late 20's or early 30's, when do you want to settle down down and start enjoying the joy of family life.
9. Learning the Language is another thing you must do before you have any headway. Infact you must pass their exam.
10. For the first one to two years, it is evident that one can't do anything because of language barrier

After going through all the above, what do one end up as? I have taken my time to go round and discovered that most blacks don't work in offices. This is not to discourage those intending to travel to Netherland but to get them prepared for what to meet here.

Thanks to all those who have contributed to this thread in one way other, may God continue to bless you (amen)

Naijalastborn:
There must be Passport photograph shop nearby the Embassy

The embassy specifically said that the passport be take in Flash photos, Danquah circle, Osu, Accra. So going contrary to that is a problem.

kekeud:
@enmerks, I think you can take the picture in OSU as they said, not so far from the embassy. But why not go on Monday so you can finalise everything before Tuesday. For me, I am faced with the problem of booking appointment. My school has written them to book an appointment for me BT no response yet. How did you manage to book appointment? Best of luck.

Going on Monday would have been preferable but I don't really know maybe I would be able to snap and get the passport on Tuesday morning.

For appointments, a new week is always open for appointment at the end of each week. I just checked and discovered that 1st week of september is filled. All you have to do is wait till Monday and make sure you check continuously 2nd week of Sept will be opened by then.

Please I really need help about going to Accra, I have appointment on a Tuesday and need to know maybe I can snap my Passport that same morning. My appointment is 10 am, and I have been told once I go in I can't come out.

Please those that have collected MVV from Accra should come to my assistance.

@pdesmond1,@2good,@naijalastborn,@chatmate

Please for those that have collected their MVV from Accra, which hotel did you stay. I want to know a not too expensive hotel I can stay when I go for my MVV.

When are you scheduled to resume in school, it depends. The school can help you book an urgent appointment if necessary.

Visa appointment system online follow the link bellow to book an appointment, let me know how far; maybe we can go together : https://accra.embassytools.com/

No can't go to Accra without an Invitation. You need to book an appointment on their online portal

Please I need help about the authenticity of the of the Legalisation of my NPC document which I just collected today.

Actually I sent it to somebody who works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help me with the Legalisation in Abuja and I paid for it.

Am just not too satisfied with what am seeing now. its just a stamp with a signature at the back of each document.

Please is anybody away of the process and how it should look?

kennycanny:
I sent a msg to you via nairaland. I ll like to have a chat with you pls.

I replied your message

please am still waiting to hear from anybody that has information on how i can book an appointment

Please how else can i book an appointment in the Deuthe emmbassy in Accra, all slot for july in their Online system is filled. I need to book an appointment for my MVV before its too late.

From what i have experienced so far, i dont think it will affect it your Visa. Once you were able to provide the deposit at first instance, it is that same statement that will be sent to IND by the school.

Please did anybody here go through the process of legalization of birth certificate.

Please I need help on Legalization of birth certificate

From all you said, I will tell from experience that the guy is the shy type. Probably an Introvert, that's from experience.

Couldn't apply for it on my own. I don't have a credit card to pay online.

@chatemate, I got a conditional admission from Fontys last year but have not been able to pursue the admission because of TOEFL. I have lost more than 150k on the issue of TOEFL, I paid and the agent duped me.

The other times the Agents paid with fake credit card that made it impossible for me to check my result after the exams.

Pls here is my PIN 298264B2, will want u to enlighten me

Pls I beg all those on this thread who can help out to pls assist. Ur assistance will b appreciated.

I need to secure admission this year. I have tried various schools the previous years, and its really frustrating me.

Pls I will appreciate if u can assist with schools that can waive TOEFL because I ve tried and have been duped by agents severally.

@pdesmond pls help, we communicated before u left but I guess my not wanting to disturb made me stop. I really need ur assistance.

Pls I really need a baker in Ikorodu Lagos for a birthday and wedding cake.

When one looks at the flamboyant lifestyle of our religious leaders, it is easily possible to be irritated by what they preach.

Just make sure u know what u are out for, and learn how to achieve it with an unbiased mind.

I pray that God in His infinite mercy will guide u and direct ur will.

Am a philosopher, Historian, theologian, and also a Diplomat. Would really appreciate if we can relate better. PIN: 298264B2

What I will however advise u is to search within urself and nature, maybe u will sense d presence of a higher Being.

The way u relate with the higher Being is now left for u, there are so many forms of belief u can choose from.

In this part of the world, the most common being Christianity and Islam or ATR. U don't have to be carried away by what the preacher of any of the above says because man in himself is selfish, and uses any medium he has for self interest and gain. "Just hate the player and not the game".

I will however advise that in any that u choose or decide to use as means of relating with nature, make sure u read and know about it thoroughly. "Knowledge is power".

Make sure u move above the level of biased sentiments to a level in which the adulterated truths of our religious leaders can easily be deciphered.

With the existence of a supreme being, it is left for us to decide on how to relate with Him. Hence, the plethora of ways of worship.

There are so many forms of belief that has been able to stand the taste of time, so many of them older than Christianity and Islam which most of us here profess. Buddhism, hinduism, ATR, Judaism etc.

The problem with the religion the white men brought was that it was diluted so that they can achieve their economic exploitation of Africa. In coming here, when they saw that the locals weren't being easily won over, they brought in the missionaries to counter over belief system which dint give room for any exploitation.

In the African Traditional Religion/society, dispensation of Justice is immediate. How I wish that was still obtainable, maybe by now most of our senators will be dead. You dare not steal or betray others, the result was immediate.

Pretense will do you no good. In the words of Augustine of Hippo, one of the essence of human existence is to have happines in our everyday life. If u decide to pretend, u could be made happy but u will never be happy within.

However, according to Paschal Blaise, in his work about the existence of God, he noted that; if we say God doesn't exist, and decide not to do good or believe in, and at d end we discover He exist, we will be at a lose.

Nonetheless, 'if we say God exit and decide to do good and believe in Him, we have nothing to lose at the end if we really later discover He exist.

The truth is nobody has ever been able to Logically proof that God exist, and nobody has also been able to Logically and conclusively proof He doesn't exist.

Science itself hasn't been able to prove He doesn't exist. All it has been able to deduce is that 'there's a higher being that control nature and the course of things'. Who tells the Sun and moon how to shift duty?

From the above, it is important for u to realize that there's a higher being.

In conclusion, it is not possible for u to deny the existence of something that does not exist. In the latin phrase "Cogito ergo sum" summarizes all that has been said above.

Wonderful
