₦airaland Forum

Good day Nairaland family, I have a social science degree and would like to pursue a masters degree in Nigeria as a first step towards getting fully funded PhD programs in Europe, my aim is to stay back and work after studies so I would like to specificialise in an area that have strong job potential apart from lecturing. I'm eligible to enroll in a masters in such areas as economics, geography, environmental management etc. Please suggest an appropriate area of specialisation that I should pursue in my masters degree. Thanks and remain blessed.
NB: be specific in your suggestion, don't just say economics but suggest a specific area of economics and why?.

JustWise Disguy please help push to the frontpage because many would likely benefit from the knowledge.

400,000 Naira is just 400 Dollars

We now have thieves in Aso Rock posing as leaders. Forget the lies they keep telling you about 'Nigeria will be better '
.

400,000 is actually far less than 400 dollars

Where is the writing limitations.
You just take pride in whining yourself, isn't it?

depression makes a man to downgrade himself, that's why he's seeing non existing limitations I'm himself.

pharmagba:
Unfortunately you lack wisdom

call a spade a spade, Tinubu is on course with Yoruba nepotism, even the blind can see he has followed the footsteps of Buhari in nepotism.

These social support schemes were used by the Buhari administration to siphon trillions with his tribesmen unfortunately,the Yorubas are out to do the same under Tinubu.

how has printed cash caused inflation?

did Emeefiele not withdraw cash from circulation and limit cash supply?

did that reduce inflation during the period?

during cashless policy, prices fell especially for food produce in the north.

panpan:
There is, most probably, a foreign or international order on Nigeria to eliminate cash.
The federal government has tried to comply with this order.

The former Central Bank governor, Emefiele, used a cash recolouring and cash confiscation method, but it was resisted.
Now, the federal government is trying to use more gradual and subtle methods to eliminate cash from the society.

both governments have printed alot of money in form of cbn loans to fg and it has caused a lot of inflation so they're now trying to reduce the cash in circulation by limiting cash supply, Nigerians are not hoarding cash rather the fg/cbn are withdrawing cash from the economy.

Well..... I wish to have friends that will allow me to squat with them and be making this kind of savings to be contemplating about building a house....



God give me these type of friends mbok!!

it's actually very simple, all you need to do is to be a responsible roommate that contributes financially as well physical effort to the upkeep of the home.

I seriously doubt that Nigeria would survive 8 years under Tinubu with this level of irresponsible leadership.

Tribalism fester on Nairaland because seun tolerates it.

Go to your Umunna and start your help.



Adighi atu alo na etiti ndi iro.

here is purely to raise awareness, deliberations would be on a secure platform.

Bestbrain123:
What makes you think this is the right place?

this is the right place to start because we can easily reach out to Igbos home and abroad,we can relocate to another platform once we have gathered momentum.

Bestbrain123:
Are you an igbo.. Because the igbos i know don't need any help, they are well organised in their ambition and action.

100% Anambra. We, the younger generation needs to start a self propelled movement towards bettering our lots, this country is getting it rough right now and if we can build a solid social support network of Igbos home and abroad, we would gain immensely from it.

As we enter into this new year,I would be happy if we Igbos starts a self help movement from Nairaland,it would be in any form the members decide based on available skills and resources but let's start something first, opinions are highly welcome.

Some of the pictures the op posted as Enugu are from Ibadan.

Joke of the century

ahnie:
Always have plan B

maybe the guy discovered her plan B and decided to bounce than be with a cheat.

Honestly, Nigeria have never worked, Nigeria is not working and Nigeria would never work, let's peacefully break up this country so that smaller, more manageable true nations can emerge from it.

I don't think most Nigerians would be worried about gun men attacking convoys belonging to politicians especially the self styled godfathers.

Damage control, power drunk government officials everywhere.

Why is the government not interested in developing the Eastern ports? Once the Eastern ports are functional, the river Niger can be dredged all the way to the north to enable establishment of northern ports too. Tribalism under Buhari and Tinubu is killing this country while their supporters cheers them on.

I think they only see ATMs when they see you guys.

bad mouth, even you would appreciate a hardworking and generous Nigerian ATM in your life,wouldn't you? Lol.

Samantha124:
I don't want to start any SA vs Nigeria war, so no comment..

This thread is about Zimbabwean men complaining about Nigerian guys and it has nothing to do with SA..

Samantha rest for our matter, 9ja men na bomb, accept it or leave it.

Who stills takes BBC serious?

This Oba have no shame, always getting involved in petty issues that drags the reputation of his seat on the soil, even his marital life is a disgrace.

The facts on ground says it is not feasible. How is that killing hope? I recall there was a time when some folks wanted to protest at the German embassy and actually protested on Twitter. Did it change anything? The Nairalander UPDATED2020 was at the forefront of it. Before, it was six months, then one year. Now, almost two years, and you accuse me of dashing people's hopes?!

The fact is clear: if one does not have a first class as at 2020 or is able to secure a scholarship, the person should look elsewhere. Also, people should stop learning a hard language such as German when the opportunities to japa to where it is spoken is tough. This morning, I read that Rwandans who could speak Chinese earn at least $500 a month working as translators in the country. Even if they don't travel to China, the economic opportunities which learning Chinese brings are worth it. How many German companies dey active for Nigeria? In your daily lives, how many Germans you don see? How many German companies dey invest in Nigeria?

Nawa o, $500 is worth more than #500,000 now, bros you're making sense.

Gerrard59:
But we have warned people on this forum about Germany's new visa restrictions since 2021. What were they thinking? With Sweden being Europe's Colombia, British Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Olaf Scholz saying multiculturalism has failed, expect the mother of all immigration tightening. German should not be learnt by an Anglophone African. It is effectively useless. The countries where it spoken have tough immigration rules: Austria has a convoluted student visa application process, and the mother of all, Switzerland. Even native Europeans fret when the country is mentioned for work purposes.

Sha, I know what I am best at.

To be honest, Germany immigration seems harder for Nigerians due to our bad reputation in that country, I remember their government warning that Nigerians would face tougher immigration hurdles before all these their shakara started.

Gerrard59:
I would be accused of being petty and puerile, but my preek rises whenever I see the results of what I warned earlier happening. There is this joy inside of me when I get the opportunity to say I told you/I warned you

We have a nigga who can hear what Olaf Scholz says. We had another nigga who studied German in his undergraduate, but both cannot get a visa interview. Visa interview o, not the visa itself. But hey, Ndi Study in Germany would say otherwise.

I would always be here to remind y'all. Goodluck to everyone involved.

cc: Nietzsches Don't learn German. Don't say I did not tell you. As it is, it is a useless language to learn for economic purposes by an Anglophone African. In front is French - a thoroughly useless language.

lol,I love your writing style. Are you saying that
1) applying to study in Germany isn't worth it?
2) even French is useless?

Bethxxie:
1) Unfortunately, it's even worse now. The wait time is now almost 2 years for an appointment date (for Category B applicants that is)

2) No, it would have helped some years ago, but doesn't matter if you're up to C2 now sef.

3) It is recommended you apply for your appointment date before looking into schools to apply for admission.

If you can get a scholarship, are going for a PhD or research or if you graduated with a first class and your degree was issued after 2020, you can get boosted to Category A and get a date within 3 months.

If you cannot get a scholarship or sponsorship letter, you have 2 years to start saving up the €11,208 needed for your blocked account.

Concerning the visa, before it was almost like a rule that if you waited up to a month to hear back from the embassy after your interview, then your visa approval was certain. But, this isn't the came anymore as there are people that wait up to 1 month and still get rejected. People that get approved have been known to now wait for 13 weeks (could be less)

I hope this helps, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

thanks a million, I really appreciate.

Mopricelezz:
Getting an interview date now takes 18 months. Except you graduated with 1st class within the last three years or thereabout. Or you are able to secure a scholarship for your program.

Having a B2 is good but it doesn't guarantee you getting an early date if the two conditions I stated up there doesn't apply to you.

thanks for the explanation.

greenermodels:
Good day, house. I wanted to study for my masters in Germany a few years back but later dropped the idea due to their unwillingness then to give interview date for Nigerians, please
1) are they giving interview dates now
2) Would it be of help if I already have B2 certificate even though my intended program would be taught in English
(3)What's the summary of the entire process from application to visa now. Thanks and remain blessed.

Nwakire29:
I know someone that booked 6th that person didn't get.

omosebi1:
