newacca: @Godson,Flange,Tope and all other members,
Pls. keep this thread live. It's full of information and guideline to get German education. Canada&Germany thread on NL. Me likey

No lele Bros,one love!!!@Tope thats my prayer,that some people with bad intention do not use their own to disturb the ones with good intention.That is why i get annoyed with some people questions,They are not ready to learn german at all and yet they wanna study and survive in Germany.Its always better to at least spend over night in cotonou city,Then you will know that its never easy to survive in a non english speaking country......German is sweet ooo....Remember no knowledge is lost.

Do you have what it takes to become a monumental success? Or will you live out a life of mediocrity? The choice is up to you. While many think they have all the answers and the keys to success, we have seen too many times before those people make the same pitfalls.

This is the time for you to hustle, scrap and fight for the life that you want for yourself. You manifest your own destiny during these crucial years.

Every move you make is a test. Don’t f*ck it up. These are the 20 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s.


20. Working for money, not for building your dreams

Never do anything just because it’s convenient for you. Look to challenge yourself and build your own dream instead of building someone else’s. Even if it doesn’t exactly make sense now, create something with great value so you can cash out big. Always look to the future and never for immediate compensation. What are you going to do with those weekly wages anyways? Stop being so entitled and pretending like you deserve cash, prizes and vacations just yet. You will soon realize once you’ve made it that making money doesn’t make you happy. It’s the journey.


19. Thinking that this is the right time to fall in love

While all of your friends might be doing it, don’t fall into the trap of getting into a relationship. Sure it seems like the right thing to do, but your 20s are entirely too crucial for your personal growth for you to be focusing on fulfilling the wishes of another individual. Not only does it make you complacent with where you are in life, but it makes your boring. When your business is at stake and your future is resting on your shoulders, the last thing you need is to be bogged down by an insecure lover rushing you home. Get out there, meet new people, test the limits and have fun. It will take you to the places you’ve dreamed of going.



18. Trying to act like the man rather than learning how to become one

Instead of going overboard on the Gucci monogram and bottles in the club, as if you just signed to Rocnation, spend the time focusing on your career. Every second counts and if more time is spent pretending to be the person you want to be instead of becoming that man, then you’ll sink in quick sand without even knowing it. A real man is willing to make sacrifices. If you aren’t down to put in the work, then please don’t act like you are. You can enjoy the success when you actually attain it.


17. Making friends instead of earning trust

The in-crowd may be tempting, but you’ll probably fall victim to surrounding yourself with social climbers and bottle wh*res. We know you feel entitled to celebrate, but please relax. It’s never attractive when you act as though this is the last time you’ll ever see this in life. Make connections with people based on trial and error, not presuppositions and drunk ranting about what they can do for your business. If you ever want people to take you seriously, then you have to take them seriously. Just because you think you trust someone doesn’t always mean you can. Heed any red flags in the past before jumping into any kind of venture with them..


16. Not caring because you only live once — that is for fools

We all are guilty of irrational decision-making in our 20s. Fast people and fast times with money in your pocket always lead to over-extending yourself. A life of partying, heavy drugs and pretty much having that YOLO attitude will leave you flat on your ass. Get focused and lock into what you’re supposed to be doing. If you don’t know what that is, then you better figure it out ASAP.


15. Making all your wants, needs

Expensive women and cheap thrills coupled with the expensive sneakers should not be on the list of your needs. Setting the foundation for your business and team is far more important than updating your wardrobe and chasing sex. Distinguish between what you want and what you actually need. Make sure your priorities are in tact or you will lose your track.


14. Forgetting that family comes first

Those who supported you before anything deserve to be taken care of when you reach your success. If you aren’t doing this for the ones you love, then you’re not doing it right. Family comes first, no matter what happens. If you work for whom you love instead of just yourself, you will get far.


13. Blaming anyone else but yourself for anything in life

Hold yourself accountable for everything. At the end of the day, all you have in the world is yourself — so go hard. Don’t look to anyone for answers and instead of making problems, create solutions. Whether it was that job you wanted, the funding you needed or the love you think you can’t live without, there is no one that can be held accountable in this universe except for you.


12. Getting comfortable like you actually deserve down time

Unless you’re fornicating with Victoria’s Secret models in Monaco this weekend, you shouldn’t even be thinking about taking a break any time soon. You need a vacation? What have you accomplished? Mark Cuban spent 7 years building out his first business before he even took a break. Don’t get lazy now.


11. Sticking with jobs that didn't teach you anything

A bad job is like a bitchy girlfriend that gives bad head. Truthfully, the only reason you’re there is because it is the safest and easiest thing you know. Any job or relationship that allows for you to get comfortable should be avoided at all costs. The last scenario you could ever want is becoming like the rest of those miserable, 40-somethings faced with weekends of minivans and soccer practice.


10. Following the crowd instead of forging against it

You can be aware of the trends, but never follow them. If all your time is spent trying to adjust to your surroundings, you’ll get lost in the crowd all the more easily. Success and greatness are constructed by trendsetters themselves, not those who latched on to what’s currently trending. We hope that you don’t have any aspirations to look like your favorite rapper. Temptation to be influenced by those who you aspire to be like is easy, but no one finds their calling following in the footsteps of another.


9. Failing to energize those around you

Although you may sometimes think there is a lack of talent in your networks — this is never the case. It is your sole responsibility to inspire, encourage and drive those around you to success. Failing to do so only confirms that you fall victim to that which you accuse others of. Change and greatness can be sparked everywhere, but bring it upon yourself to trigger it.


8. Think you need to stop learning and growing

You have more zeros at the end of your bank statement, stamps in your passport and women in your bed than you had ever imagined. Don’t consider this your victory lap, but rather as a taste of greatness. Do you live to enjoy the moments you dreamed of or a lifetime of unimaginable success? The common misconception that once things are in your favor, you no longer have to put in the 3:00AM work hours is a dangerous problem. The fewer nights that you’re willing to put in the work, the fewer opportunities you will have to celebrate your achievements in the future.


7. Thinking that anyone will ever pay you back

Your 20s will be accompanied with a slew of poor investments by yourself and those around you. Whether rich or poor, there will always be someone in your circle that will need a helping hand. If you ever think you’re going to see that money again, you’re sorely mistaken. If there were a plan of action and re-investment, then the truth is that you will not see $1 back. Times are tough, especially in your 20s and finding a route back to financial freedom is often seen only when winning the lotto or signing your first deal with Ca$h Money Records. Of course miracles do happen, but the probabilities that you’ve essentially given the money away are far too high.


6. Spending your money on women who aren't escorts

Your sex life is an investment — and the smarter the deals you execute, the savvier of an investor you become. Free sex is the most expensive sex in the world. Instead of navigating through an ambiguous investment in which you shower your woman with cash and prizes for the mediocre sex provided, deal with a professional as soon as possible. Although some of you may immediately jump to the negative connotations of a woman who is paid for sex, we suggest you take one step back. As an entrepreneur herself, why would you not want to deal with someone who has the same honesty and integrity that you do. Want a best friend? Buy a puppy. Want great sex? Call an escort.


5. Holding on to friends that waste your time and add no value to your life

You’ll be sucked down into the abyss right with them if you don’t cut the fat of the group. Family and friends could have been great to you as a child, but if they no longer hold the value and inspiration that is needed for you to thrive in life, then cut them loose. The only individuals you should be surrounding yourself with are those that challenge your ideas and motivate you to find the next solution to your problems. No, not the pessimistic A*#Ss who shoot down your ideas with their negativity, but rather the ones who genuinely want to see you succeed no matter what you do in life.

4. Forgetting about the piggy bank and spending every dollar you have

If our check is for $9, than we’re most likely spending $30. Between credit cards, school loans and every other avenue for attaining a quick dollar, our need for immediate gratification is worse than ever. The truth is it’s about making more money, not saving it. But at the same time, if you have no means for expanding your revenue channels then you must be able to save a few dollars here and there. No one like to have to walk to work because they blew every dollar at LAVO.


3. Mistaking safe sex for anything besides anal

If you don’t want to have a child then you better limit your excuses. As vulgar as it may sound, sometimes there are only a few options in life, so you must avoid all potential margins of error. The road to success is not paved with having responsibilities of children and your future wife to be. This is a somewhat lonely journey that you must take by yourself and those you love will be able to celebrate with you after.


2. Dating unstable women with mommy and daddy issues

We need to control the invincibility we all feel when it comes to women. Whether she’s a stripper or a sorority girl, we feel the need to be the knight in shining armor for our women. As chivalrous as this may seem, we hate to break it to you, but you will never be able to change anyone. By setting yourself up for a losing battle, you’ve only ensured your misery for the next few months. She’s clingy for a reason, don’t be her Dr. Phil.


1. Forgetting that karma is a huge b*tch

Whether it’s burning bridges with people you loved, stealing your friend’s girlfriend, or plotting against an ex-partner, we must always remember that karma is the biggest b*tch we’ve ever met. There is nothing more true than the fact that whatever goes around comes around, and you are not immune to the cosmic forces that be. We’re not asking you to go on your Mother Teresa pilgrimage, but don’t be surprised when reality catches back up with you and brings you to your knees. Be a good person. You’ll get further in life.

jposuagwu: GTB will soon go past N30.

How soon?Are you just predicting bro?I would like to buy more...

Enegod: [b]op you are so wrong,this is why we say girls have fish brain
*Girls don't have a mind of their
own,they can be readily and easily
convinced to do stuffs.I can trace this
back to the garden of Eden where the
woman was convinced to eat the
forbidden fruit by the serpent who only
had to sugarcoat his tongue to get the
woman to succumb.Don't even get me
started on the fact that man was made to
eat the fruit by the woman because we
all know that we men love our women
and mostly like to do their bidden even
though we know we may be doing the
wrong thing,we just still go ahead all in a
bid to make them happy,that's what we
were meant to do,ain't it? If you don't
believe that,answer these questions,why
didn't the serpent go through man to
have the forbidden fruit eaten? Why did
he pass through the woman? Here are
the answers,he knew man was going to
be impossible to penetrate unless
through the woman and the woman on
the other hand was easy to penetrate.The
reason why this is so is that women
respond to what they hear while men
respond to what they see.I bet you the
reason why man ate the forbidden fruit
was because woman used her boobs to
rub on him or something,i'm just saying!

Furthermore,i have stories to buttress my
point.While i was in my first year in the
university,i met and fell for a gurl,but she
told me she had a boyfriend she loved
very much and would never cheat on,so
she won't be able to date me.I persisted
and kept on being friends till i got tired
and decided to use my sugarcoated
tongue.I talked to this gurl and
succeeded in changing her mind.I
eventually won her heart from her
boyfriend.The reason why a sane gurl
would leave a guy that loves her (apart
from good sex sha o) is sweet talk.They
may realize their mistakes and want to
make amends,but they'd have falled all
the same.A guy that has sugarcoated
mouth can get the gurls anytime
anyday.Even you women can't deny the
fact that a smooth and sweet talker hit
that spot most times,can you? Another
story,while i was being all terrible with
the ladies,i had this gurl who was crazy
about me,at a point when i got tired of it
all,i stopped communication.Even when
she tried establishing,i merely blew her
off and eventually when i decided to
speak to her,she was still willing to stay
with me even though she knew it was
because of other gurls that my interest in
her reduced.I could give lots of stories to
stick this claim.infact,lots of you girls on nairaland
can even give instances when you were
used....[/b]

you are on point

Caracta:

@OP, Making an issue out of nothing. Did anybody force the girl on you? Na una type dey carry handbags for girls...worshipping the ground they step on. Only cowards whine and complain over petty things. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! I don't blame you sha, i blame all those pepeye girls that make a man their ATM. What a shame!

harrydonast: [b][/b]i::::::: i have a virgin pasppport and iwant to travel to germany for buz pls my fellow guys do help me on how to get the reguirements

visit us at this tread....www.nairaland.com/676173/german-embassy-visa

Demaejy: Before they do allow students and give visa to take Language programme in Germany but since Goethe is now in existence, they would probably direct you there, that was what cause visa denial of that guy. However, if it happens that you are going for foundation course in English medium, i think the embassy would grant visa for that, right?

Yes if your course instruction is English then no problem,When going for students visa they need to be sure that you are really a student,Thats why they give some people exam right inside the embassy on the interview day.Attend german classes at goethe makes things easier.Student visa is very different from visiting visa.Its a long term visa and they are afraid cos some people go there with student visa and never go to school.

flange: Hallo if your applying to Germany with only waec u won't get admission because its not equivalent to their abitur . Check d previous pages I already posted the equivalent certificates or results plus ur waec that was sent to me by university of applied science mannheim before I applied to them
If you want to study Nursing most of all those health courses I have seen are in german so u need a year Preparaatory class in nigeria before u can join their studienkolleg even in Goethe institue most of the students with me in A2 r going for medical courses there
For your business admin the IGce will do once u have that result plus ur waec ur set. U do ur homework here in nigeria if u think they will giv u visa for language there ur on a long thing the embassy will direct u to goethe..

To me its always good to learn the german language,It will help you for so many reasons and they will like you more in Germany,why go to Germany to study in English.Its better that person go to UK nah.

parisbluefox: (17)Q. What Is the official life-span of WAEC Certificates?
A. WAEC certificates have no expiry date.

Got this directly from WAEC website.

Just let your school be aware and contact Waec just to confirm my information brother and try to always read.

Please try to apply to those schools that charge 50 euro for application processing fee or through uni assist,so that your admission can be guaranteed and you won't have to waste time!.I know its not easy but try,I can always get to list of those free uni later.

All d Best.

Yes i can,Its not a crime and my parents cant decide for me!

parisbluefox: Please i need help in securing an Undergraduate Admission in any of the Universities in Germany that do not charge tuition fees and also do not require TOEFL OR IELTS. The language of instruction for their courses should be in English as well (Nursing or Business admin).. I wrote my O'level in 2005 and cleared all Nine subjects including maths and English.

do you know the o level expires?

ammyluv2002: I totally agree with you @ poster, a lot of people have lost their lives already on that road even last frIday around 11Pm @ car wash junction one babe was hit by a car & she died instantly (so I heard sha) most people don't uSe the bridge including me maybe is laziness or something but is very risky, even the drivers are not helping matters plus the road safety guys. I'm always scared whenever I'm crossing that road yet I do it daily.

Then you gotta stop doing it!

Oh my brother,Its a pity I have seen at least 2 people died this way,One happened today at Lagos-Abeokuta expressway just before iyana ipaja,Its a big expressway and i see no reason why people ignore the pedestrian bridge.Its too bad but drivers too gotta becareful ..

Omo see me see trouble,Fuel attendant for Ikoyi?Bro no be small thing ooo,How much is your pay nah?

n an interview with showtime, Faze opened up about Tuface and Blackface, Reasons Why Black Face Is Still Financially Down:

Enjoy!

How do you feel today that 2face is a superstar as well as yourself, but Black Face is yet to hit the mark?

Black Face is also going to be big. Everybody seems to be supporting him financially, and it takes a lot for people to believe in you. Black Face wrote almost all the songs we had in our first album, so, he has potentials. He has management challenges and people that believe in him. We must be frank, we have some junk music in the industry but they sell because they have financial backups to pay for publicity and other things. These days, if you are bringing out an album, it has to be well packaged, it has to generate noise. I’m working on something with him to make sure he bounces back.

Since you know his problem, why didn’t you…?
He’s going to be big. Everybody has his time

But don’t you think it’s getting too late?
Nothing is too late. He just needs a single and I’m working with him on his album because he was involved in my career. I remember when I wanted to go for a singing competition. I was young and scared of the unexpected because there were so many ladies there that could sing well. I didn’t want to involve myself because I noticed judges were usually partial when it comes to ladies.

It was a live performance but Black Face encouraged me to go ahead. He accompanied me to the competition and I won at the end of the day. So, it’s the same spirit that I’m trying to give back to him. Whenever, we sit and write songs together, he writes in a different dimension. I think the only thing he needs to do is take his time and not to be in a hurry.

It appears you are more passionate about Black Face than 2face?
No, it’s not like that. 2Face is already big and Black Face will still grow. Most of the times when he’s down, I sit with him because I know his kind of person. He has talent and he has his fans. What is left is for him to give his fans the right music to listen to and enjoy.
So why didn’t you speak with 2face to lend him a support?
What he needs isn’t financial support. We are working together to bring out the right songs.

What’s 2face doing about it?
I’m sure both of them meet to discuss on their own, you know they are from the same area. I can only speak for myself that whatever I do for Black Face, I’m not helping myself, he’s helping me. I’m still going to do one or two songs with 2face in future. But I’m doing everything to make sure things work out well for Black Face. We are all looking for money to take care of our responsibilities. The highest we can do is work together and make more money. Black Face has been helpful to me even financially so, it’s on both sides.

Why were you and Black Face absent at Tuface’s Dubai wedding?
I was in Dubai but got to the venue very late. I had other functions I was attending to. People saw me because we were together at the club. Black Face has his own reason he didn’t make it.

But you are his friend and you should know better
He must have his reasons.

Maybe, he didn’t have money for the ticket…?
It’s not about the money because tickets don’t cost that much. He must have his own reasons. Tuface had his reasons he didn’t invite him too. After all, when Black Face did his wedding, none of us was there.

jposuagwu: I just called Molten Trust on the N2 dividend for First Bank. They said its not true. They said there is speculation first bank may pay N1.50k, considering what Zenith and GTB paid. For your information, Zenith paid N1.60 and not 60K as you posted above.

You are right and i just got an alert that FBNH has credit my account for my e dividend bonus at the rate of 1.50 still fare...Now waiting for my GTB...
