Bros I still dey naija oooo. So no pictures, lol

IAmPhiL:
although i´ve not been to all parts of Bayern, i´ve met virtually everyone from all the regions here. cos of where i work of course.

Bavarians are fun, cultural and strong. most of their women are indpendent, old ones never tire...the landlady of a colleague is 88, this woman still does chores and voluntarily does their laundry.

the notion that Germans are racial bla bla is not so here. these guys would kill you of love. once they get to know you, that´s all. trust me, patience is key. although sometimes it could take longer when you´re trying to set p...me myself still dey on hold, e no easy.

it´s amazing how my colleagues at work want me to learn their native dialect, Bayerische rather than Deutsch. thanks to them, i know a few words and sentences in Bayerische.

yh, they´ve been many instances where Nigerians here dgaf about a fellow Nigerian. it´s really bad. But i believe a few haven´t lost it.

one amazing thing some of my colleagues from different nationalities tell me is... i´m the best Nigerian they´ve met. it´s saddening to hear how some folks behave here, it´s really lugubrious

but we thank God, some of us still raise the flag high

IAmPhiL:
Well, my own quota to this is that, it's sometimes amazing how some Germans I've met are way more nicer than many Nigerians.

Lest I forget.... Ich heiße Phil und ich bin eine Bayerische.

Please men and brethren, we need more suggestions on how to get this thread back to life. Kindly roll out your suggestions pls. Two good heads they say it's better than one.

Eldeee:
The moderators have instructed we maintain this thread as they don't want duplication of threads. Please guys let's get this thread back to life. No more wishing and hoping this time. If I call you out, just don't see it as an offense, but as a call to duty. Let's all install discipline and get the thread of our dreams

This are my humble suggestions brethren
* Never are we going to entertain application, school, visa related questions here. Please deutschmann, fabcol, chriswazo, philfit, badmus, bl3d, demigodzeus, aodiba, henriq, ichbinbrait, justcare, klexycole, etc help us by avoid answering such questions here. Anyone that want such answers should go to the main students thread.

* Anyone asking such questions here should be vehemently attacked by a good number of people so as to serve as a deterrent to others, and to send a warning signal to wanable defaulters and desperados.

* Any questions to be entertained here should strictly be as it relates to survival tips, career tips, integration, hustling and student jobs, etc

* Please no sentiments or preferential treatment should be entertained here, let it be strictly as it pertains to the topic no matter what.

* For all those who travelled last year at least, we understand you guys have busy schedules, but at least make out time to spice up this thread with tonnes of interesting discussions based on your personal experience

* Please we should all note that experience differs according to location so please don't try to outrun someone who is telling us as e dey happen for his end.

* For our able veterans, please we need you more than ever. Come share your after school experiences, permanent resident issues, blue card, getting a job, dos and don'ts with us. We want to make this thread highly impacting and resourceful.

*Please we also need discussions about business opportunities, dating and relationships (no be illegal oooo), politics etc. So please kindly share with us.

* Please lets maintain decorum, love, unity and respect for one another.

*** Please kindly outline other possible suggestions as to how we can get this working. We need suggestions please

I believe we can make it happen if we are committed and decide to comply and adhere strictly with instructions. Thanks in all.

How I wish this thread could be active and maintained like the Living in Canada and Australian threads. People post their landing experiences ranging from flight to accommodation, jobs, culture shock/difference, school, and more.

But here, that's not the case. People prefer to ask admission and visa-related questions right here when the German Visa thread is obvious on the front page. Unfortunately, some people will go ahead and answer those questions on this same thread, thereby defeating its purpose.

Even guys in Germany seem not interested in sharing their personal experiences. You will hardly get tips and experiences from German residents on Nairaland, save for a few peeps.

Lastly, we can still bring this thread back to its formal glory. Newly landed Nigerian students in DE should endeavor to share their landing stories and life in Germany (their state) generally.

......yes including other non visa related matters like pictures of restaurants, lecture halls, work places, vehicles, stadiums, social life in Germany and so on. Also the "Do's" and "Dont's" for expats living there. It will help motivate aspiring students.

Philfit:
I’m with you bro

IchBinBrait:
So sorry bro.. That blocked account money is seriously on the high side considering the exchange rate. I am also affected, I strongly believe that someday the money will dRop. God will do it, it is well!!

You must be joking right?? Syria of all countries., I rather die in Nigeria than go there.

justwise:
..and its up to you people to post and answer questions responsibly, if I delete and ban every derailer the thread will be empty

Eldeee:
I understand your points Sir, but a good number of issues here are centered around German study issues and not off the grid. But I want to believe with a very tight measures such as banning defaulters with a two months ban for instance, a good number of newbies will be careful not to derail the thread.

Please we need it as the old one is not that effective and not even visibly active for people to contribute. Na beg we dey beg oga

Philfit:
Lol Oya now I’m down
Only issue is that we don’t have experience with living in Germany

Rickywowoz:
Hello my fellow nairalanders,i have seen threads like this for USA,UK,Australia etc bt none for germany..so my brothers and sisters over there pls come in and share how life in germany as a student looks like so that it will help aspiring students make their choice..

heroshark:
Thank you @pricetigris for this wonderful comment , I will be joining you in Dresden on the 19th of May. I intend going through Berlin too as direct flight to Dresden is very expensive.
I will DM ASAP to hear more about your experience

justwise:
Sorry but I will not, let's keep existing one active and stop derailing it by posting and answering unnecessary questions

justwise:
One exists already so no need for duplicate

Philfit:
That’s nice to know, cause a thread like that is really important and useful. Please let us all abstain from asking admission related topics there

Philfit:
This would be very nice

Philfit:
cause people go come spoil am with, “how do I apply to this school?”
Is English proficiency allowed?
I studied history and so so so with a cgpa of 4.9 can I get an admission into a German university?
Who knows if I can apply to so so so
There was a thread like this but it was bastardized with these type of questions. Started looking g like the annex office of German student visa thread

Marshalynk:
I second this motion, it will give us an extra motivation..

princetigris:
I arrived Berlin this morning via Turkish airline, paid €2.80 at the airport for a bus to jaKob pkeizer,(I hope say I spell am correct), jumped plenty other trains and followed plenty tunnel till I found myself at the city's bus central station. From there I took a flixbus to Dresden. Umunnam, two things I noticed among the Germans today is that they're bi-langual(i might be wrong though) and them love to drive new sweet cars(omo come see mini-cooper on black rims, Benz be like water and finally one bad black Lamborghini huracan roadster wea speed pass me for Dresden).

Christian22aa:
t i agree with u ...even nigerians wey dey america prefer Canada .really the best country to live ina
