Travel / Re: My Experience Living In Germany And Trying To Learn German On My Own by gistme24(m): 7:38am On Apr 10, 2020 |
This thread just reminded me of something that happened to me last year. On the day I was to be introduced to my new colleagues at work, I got lost in a remote Village on my way�. I then approached two ladies outside a cafe nearby, explained myself and asked for direction. You know what these German ladies did ? They gave me a ride and dropped me off in front of my office building. It was out of their way too. 17 Likes 1 Share |

I heard several horror stories about the people at the Ausländerbehörde in particular and the City Hall in general, that made me not look forward to going there. The scariest one being how they will not attend to you if you do not speak German. It all turned out to be false as they were nothing but helpful and accommodating. Maybe it is unique to Mannheim, but I doubt that. If you have a valid driver’s license from Nigeria, found out it is valid here for the first 6 months after which you have to start the process of transferring or acquiring a new one. Again, maybe this varies by city. 2 Likes |

Hi, Sorry for my late response. The only platform I know are the usuals : XING and LinkedIn. Functional roles are client facing, so it may be a bit difficult to come across English speaking roles, but I am sure you’ll find them on those platforms. Also, as you may be aware, In SAP, networking is key, so seek out the key people you can find on social media platforms. It would also be preferable that questions be asked right here so that we could benefit. comprende:[quote author=comprende post=76636240] |

Hello Guys, Decided to share this so as to encourage others. Had my Visa interview on December 17th, 2018. Questions asked were the same as posted earlier by others. 5 weeks later, I received the mail requesting that I provide insurance details and confirmed travel date. My employer had already informed me in week 3 that approval had been granted by the foreign office . Visa was delivered earlier this week, week 7. Special thanks to Sam, who took time to help out in the early days. I went with so many copies that Mr. Paulinus was confused, I was confused too at some point My profile, I am currently an SAP ABAP developer with over 5 years experience. Preceding that, i have 5 years experience in other fields like Java and Oracle ERP. Leaving in some weeks. Wish me luck guys. 12 Likes |

Crime / Re: Have You Ever Been Scammed Before??? Share Your Experience. by gistme24(m): 5:40pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
Well, some slowpoke is trying to scam me though! He must be a learner indeed. I received a mail some minutes ago, the title EFCC got my attention. I reading the mail, I smiled . 1. The email address the mail was sent to is not linked to any of my accounts. 2 EFCC web domain is wrong, not EFCC.Org which was used to send the mail. 3. EFCC.org is a religious like web site. 4. Attempts to view the document attached to the mail requires me to submit my username and password to my email! Lolz Like I said, the guy must be a learner. 5 Likes

Celebrities / Re: Charity Is Love, Charity Is Fun - The T.I. Expirience by gistme24(m): 11:21pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
I watched the video and I was touched . Little gestures like these can go a long way in making a huge difference in the kids / mums' life. The real truth about Nigerian actist is that they do not make as much as they want us to believe, don't be deceived by the pics they are always putting up, majority are actually broke a??. Most just seek for attention . |

my one weakest point as a bachelor, and the fact that I love home cooked meals makes it worst. I usually just bribe someone to help me But it has made me to respect women, especially married career women, more. |

Education / Re: Ambode Appoints Prof. Njokanma As LASU Acting VC by gistme24(m): 5:44pm On Nov 10, 2015 |
Kudos to Ambode. To the tribe bashers from East / West, una no dey tire? I am an Igbo dude, but I don't understand the reason behind the cry for Biafra. Was it because PDP lost the election? Exactly how have we been marginalised ? Imagine what can be achieved if the crowds marching for Biafra can also match to force their respective state Govt to fulfil campaign promises. Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that only cowards and kids bash tribes. One love. 21 Likes 5 Shares |
Career / Re: Should I Be Bothered About Leaving? by gistme24(m): 7:55pm On Nov 09, 2015 |
Perks are never freely given, they are earned. You have earned this 'slap', and they probably feel you will reward them by doubling your efforts. To put it properly, you are an asset! About you leaving, banish that thought, else you are implying you will always think of walking out whenever you encounter hostility, and I believe you may encounter a few more in the corporate world. It's not your fault that you are awesome! Just stay humble, just as you sound. 4 Likes |
Webmasters / Re: 8 Things I Wish I’d Known When I Started As A Web Developer by gistme24(m): 4:48pm On Jun 03, 2015 |
Valid points. I started programming way back in 2006, when there were no frameworks to play with and I fell in love with java, C#, and scripting languages like PHP and Perl. Although my line of work is no longer in core programming, I have never had any issue with reading up on any framework because of my solid background in programming. Also, to add to your points, developers should learn how to work in a team early, large projects often means many developers . 1 Like |

Career / Re: About Sap? by gistme24(m): 4:21pm On Oct 21, 2014 |
The Contacts I made on this thread helped me launch my SAP Career. Some came here to sell, while majority of the Gurus came to impart Knowledge and inspire people. I was one of those imparted . I Did my Certification in ABAP back in 2012 through self study. And it took me 2 years to a day to have my breakthrough , a breakthrough I am enjoying to the fullest . Advice to those seeking to have a career in SAP: 1. Networking, its very important . 2. You don't have to clear your bank account to get certified . 3. If you are certified, then it only gets your through the door most times. It rarely counts in the field . So know your module. 4. Don't always expect free materials from gurus, but take the hints and advice they may give seriously. I found out that some actually test your level of seriousness when they say, for example, go to this URL and search for the material . 5. Above all, don't choose a module for the expected reward, choose it for the love and enthusiasm you have for it. It will make the tough days and situations enjoyable . A big thank you to the gurus on these threads. Too numerous to mention. One actually took me under his wings and gave me so many contacts. Sorry If I sounded like an "OVER SABI", but hey, I am a Consultant I hope we keep this thread alive . 2 Likes |

I lost some jobs in the past that, at that time, I thought were the ideal Job for me, Huawei , ValueCard etc . Unknown to me, GOD had a better plan for me. Now living the life as an SAP ABAP Consultant , where I even work from Home at odd hours and on weekends . The weird part is I always look forward to Mondays, unlike previous other jobs! Programming , my second Love. |

okotv: stop dragging this argument towards religious lines. I have read my comments again, but really fail to see how i dragged this into a religious line. The man in question is a retired Catholic Cardinal mind you! I also did not realize I was 'arguing' with anybody. 2 Likes |

You cant say he supports APC, he bashed Buhari. We need to ignore Political leanings and tackle issues, just as the Cardinal just did. I am a proud Catholic, and the Catholic church in Nigeria will forever be grateful to you Cardinal Okogie! 6 Likes |
