Hi guys! can i get answer to this** Do i need to notarize my wife's documents before applying for her. I would have to send the documents to Nigeria so i need to be sure if it is mandatory or probably just subjective to individual school's admissions requirements.

You don't need the original certificate for notarization. Scan the original and print it out. That's what will be notarized.

With that being said, to notarize / not notarize depends on the school you're applying to. More so, if the school uses uniassist, then it's compulsory to notarize your documents.

If possible, notarize your documents if you can. This will allow you more options when it comes to selecting schools.

Any idea if there are interest rates for just keeping money in Grey foreign accounts?

I thought Grey it's just for buying stuffs online with its dollar card eg on AliExpress..


The main goal for me is to be able send money to the blocked account directly with minimal charges.
If I keep using Piggyvest, then at some point I'd have to convert my dollars to Naira, then buy Euros to fund my BA..
But if I can find a way to convert my dollars directly to Euros that will be in my BA, I'd love that.

Grey is just like how PiggyVest. You can convert your naira to euro directly on Grey, that I'm sure of. Converting your dollar to euro, I think you might have to use BDC or Aboki for that.

Nontheless, you should be able to pay your BA with dollar. The platform you use to block your BA money will handle the conversion to Euro themselves; so long as you paid the dollar equivalent of the needed euro (I'm not so sure.. so verify)

Hello..
I occasionally save money in Piggyvest, but I just realised they charge a whopping $20 to transfer anything from $150 - $10000

Do you know any cheaper alternatives in dollars?
Given it's readily available than Euros and it will be less stressful than opening a domicillary account.
And with this alternative I should be able to send money directly to Fintiba or Expatrio directly (with minimal or no charges)

Well, I'm not using Fintech to save mine. I prefer opening a domiciliary account once and be done with it. Perhaps you can buy USDT on Binance if you are into crypto. You can also check out Abokifix guys, they have a fintech app called Grey.

SirNeroDee:


Thanks for the reply.

So what's the benefit of keeping/saving the Euro with the bank vs if I just left the money on the fintech app I bought it?

It's pretty much same thing. You have to figure out for yourself which one is less expensive & better option for you. With fintech, they might charge more to convert your Naira to Euro. If you use BDC or Aboki you might even get a better rate than what fintech could offer.

Well, fintech app is seamless and it removes the stress of having to find exchangers. However, if you already have one, you most likely will get better rate from them cos you can negotiate for better rate.

Just compare and contrast and go with the less expensive and best for you.

Hello..
How does having a Euro domiciliary account for savings work?

1. Go to your preferred bank and ask them to open a Euro domiciliary account for you.
2. Find out the necessary documents you need to provide to open such account from the bank (different banks can request for different stuff)
3. Once your domiciliary euro account has been created, convert the BA money you're saving in Naira to Euro

You can buy Euros from:

- BDC guys
- Aboki
- Fintech Apps like Grey,
- From a trusted family/friend residing in Europe (you can transfer your naira to their Nigerian naira account and they'll, in turn, send the euro equivalent to your domicillary account.)
- Other means...

The koko is to convert that BA money you're saving in naira to Euro as fast as possible. (You don't even need to have your complete BA money before you start saving in Euro)

4. Now that you have Euro, transfer that money to your domiciliary account.
5. Once you've gotten AD, fund your BA from your Euro domiciliary account with ease.

Hmmm

No be €11,208 (14.7m naira) be this?

Kai Kai Kai.

My friend actually paid 1.8m naira for block account on January, 2015.

What APC can't destroy, doesn't exist

It will only get worse next year. It might reach 30 million by next year. To escape the unavoidable next year, open Euro domicillary account and save your money therein. Delay is dangerous.

What reflection
That's was Tabitha
Her reaction there was to what she saw outside the window that confirmed she got out.

It wasn't a dream
The boy in white said he was sorry but "that was the only way"

I had to rewatch that part in episode 10 again because I didn't notice the reflection on the glass at first. It's indeed not Tabitha's reflection that appeared on that hospital window. It was another lady's reflection with a sad face. This discovery has now left me with more questions than answers! cheesy

Given that the waiting period has been stretched to 1 year 3 months now, you'll most likely get your invitation by October ( everything being constant)

Is statistics and data science more superior to data science alone?

Data Science is really computational statistics ( Statistics + Computer Programming + Domain Knowledge) behind the scene. If your question is in reference to the two programs offered by LMU, then I can say that their statistics & data science program is better (for me) than their elite data science program. Perhaps, I might be biased since I have a major in Stats. So please feel free to compare the two programs at LMU; specifically, spend time with the curriculum of both programs and then decide which one you prefer.

Msc. Stats & Data Science program at LMU: https://www.statistik.uni-muenchen.de/studium/studieninfos/statistik_im_master/master_statistik/index.html

Okay my bad... I thought you were a guy smiley

No, I'm not at FAU yet cheesy if I'm there already I won't be here talking about starting my application this summer. Although I'm currently working in same field here in Nigeria.

About the school, for now, I can say that FAU is one of the best schools in Germany for AI program currently (I've perused their curriculum as well and I'm quite impressed). More so, a prof I know who lectures at LMU also recommended I add the school to my list of prospective schools.

Please i am looking for an msc course in germany for data science. Tuition fee free or from 2000 euro downwards. English taught though!
Please help out.

You can start from here. https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/

NB: There are schools that offer Data Science program in Germany but aren't listed in Daad.de. For example LMU has a Statistics & Data Science program ( which in my opinion is the best Data Science program at LMU) however, this same program isn't listed on Daad. Instead, they have their Elite Data Science program on Daad website. So by all means, you shouldn't be tired to use other websites to search for more schools.

I can recommend the following schools LMU, TUM, FAU, Saarland University, and University of Tübingen.

DYOR! More so, check each school's program curriculum to ensure it's up to date with the current trend in the industry at the moment. Some school's Data Science program are just shaft tbh... so do your due diligence.)

Are we just going to watch this whole appointments thing like this? February people haven't still gotten their appointments.. for how long are we going to wait nau. Not that is like this in other African countries. Nawaoo

From my calculation so far, it takes category B people 1 year + 3 to 4 months now. So just add 1 year + 4 months to sort of gauge when you'll most likely get your AD. So if you applied on February 2022, you should expect AD from June 2023 ( with everything being constant 'cos you can't be too sure these days grin )
