Education / Re: My Son Is Not Interested In His Secondary Education But Taught Himself Coding by GreatMage: 7:50pm On Aug 07, 2021
I really need to start a Tech Hub for training young talents in coding and logic thinking...

But the issue is that I'm lazy and don't have enough funds...

Well what can I say?

My friend tried coming here to Germany from Nigeria for 2 years, in the third year he decided to use the branching method;

He got a study visa to Belgium and after 6 months; he applied to Germany.

He said: the application was easy... Pay the visa fee, submitted necessary documents and then he left.

He just got his visa and will be moving to Germany.

Branching method worked for him grin

I'm off to sleep.

My final word here is if someone doesn't like the situation, move from that circle.

If you are seeing a lot of AA guys jobless and loafing around perhaps you need to move out of the hood and go where the creme de la creme are.

For those talking about the girls go on LinkedIn but make sure your profile and brain is good, so the girls do not look at you as ghetto trash as well.

Africa will rise again (don't know about Nigerians, maybe until we stop our victim mentality)
God bless us all and Goodnight

An android developer in munich was interviewed for a job position, he got the job but as he was about to leave, a call came; he cut it and apologise to the managers. They looked him in the eyes and fired him... Why?
Cause he was using an iPhone kiss

You heard very well. The stats are not in our favour. To people who are frothing at the mouth, it’s okay lol. I understand that it may not be easy to accept but it’s the bitter truth.

Ask yourself why it’s so much easier for even Citizens of Benin Republic to get German visas, and they’ve put almost impossible criteria for Nigerians to get in. When I first got to Germany and worked with other Africans, I was shocked at the ease with which they got their student visas (except Cameroonians sha,lol). After us, Cameroonians follow join. They’ve also made student visas extremely hard for Cameroonians and I think have banned SLs too, except you can prove a familial relationship.

The only government you can demand quality education from is the Nigerian government. Protesting will most definitely get you nowhere. In 2017, with shortness of visa dates, people “protested” as well and what did the German government do? Diddly squat.

The truth is that most Nigerians do not finish in the allotted time and tend to think that working odd jobs for 1k5 or 2k Euros is worth delaying graduation significantly. Either that, or they become masters of masters (lol), going from degree to degree, because they failed to get the adequate work experience needed when they were studying.

The only advise I would give to everyone here is to pray and hope everything works in your favour, and be determined to change the narrative if/when you arrive.



Seems like you doing very well....

I'm sure you were smiling while writing this too...

Maybe once in a while you will come to nairaland and re-read all these so as to make yourself feel good.

Please house,

I need information on the dual study program that happens in Germany.

Anyone that has done it before or knows someone that has should please tell or link me up.

My school is in bavaria and I would like to know how the application is conducted especially in search of companies or applying to the company.

Thanks.

Settle for where your passions lie and what gets you the best ROI in your career growth. Quora is still the opinion of people, so what anyone writes there isn't yes and Amen.
Feeling discouraged? There's actually no limit to what we can achieve if only we don't set boundaries.

Thanks

Strong is relative, but I'll try to quantify it,

*Good GPA - 3.0/4.0. (for competitive GPAs. 3.5 and above.

*GRE score: aim above 310.

*Toefl: aim 90 and above.

*Your statement of purpose should be very concise, and sell your strong points ridiculously well.

* letters of recommendations from your lecturers should be well drafted, branding you as a competent student.

Anyone with such profile is usually competitive.

Though this is is subjective to the school applied to.; For instance, schools with very low acceptance rates; Cornell, Yale, Havavrd, UTaustin etc usually require "very strong profiles" to be considered for admission.

Hope that answers your question.

Feeling discouraged already....

Maybe I will just settle for msc?

Afterall, quora said IT and engineering students don't really need PhD.

Thanks.

Hybeesalau:
Get a 310+ score on gre(not compulsory but the higher the better), good undergrad transcript (better 80% above), publications if possible, strong recommendation letters, and submit a well articulated statement of purpose. Apply to at least 8 schools with your research interest, With that you'll be fine.


These seem difficult plus I am almost done so I don't know if I still take time...
