Alhamdulilah, I arrived at dussedorlf international airport last night, its really getting cold here, chilling with my chilling wit my uncle and his family till end of Sept before going to oldenburg, to all did preparing for departure aibee, exensiveT, and others wish u safe journeyM..... Success to all members of the family

Word of advice to the newbies.
Please be do the necessary things as required by your school before forwarding your application, as i learnt from eke47 that if possible send a mail to the school for your transcript review prior your application. Apply to as many schools as possible, and write a very good motivation letter. My secret of writing my motivation letter is going to my intended departmental website, read through their on-going researches, stating the name of the researcher, establishing a close proximity with my area of interest and the school area of research.
Most importantly, never feel discouraged by any unfavorable circumstance you may find yourself. The journey begun last summer with 4 schools , 3 rejections, the last admitted me for winter. Intended using sponsorship letter but sponsor lost his job.... But today everything ended well.
Dont forget that there is always a God factor in all our dealings, but the most high one doesnt work on magical template, so do the right thing and be optimistic......truly God is awesome

aibee01:
congratulations my bosses @hollaytan @obiwann and @Dehonourable my bbm padi.....

i remembered the day hollaytan told me he wanted to cancelled his interview cos there was no hope of funding the account.......i felt like crying....

i pray the Almighty Allah send help to every other soul still struggling with funding his/her blocked account...also may Allah make our going to Germany fruitful.

@Obiwann how far about the Nipost package....Garri must enter hamburg now..plenty plenty....

for #winter 2016 crew lets get rolling
i applied to only two schools
Msc Environmental Governance at Freiburg,
Msc Environmental Management at CAU Kiel.
I GOT ADMITTED AT CAU KIEL.
The application for kiel was online and free of charge,only scanned documents were required and an online motivation letter of not more than 4500 words including commas,full stops and space.
i hope this is useful to someone.

Their number is: +234-1-280-9966. I haven't called tho.

Thanks bro, i got the number from google, i have called and i was told that my case will be attended to, she also told me to SEND AN EMAIL wch i told her i have done so and i was told i will get a reply.

Pls i need advice on what to do.

pompey4:
Thanks Oladunwo and Hollyatan for the reply.

@Hollyatan, which course are u admitted for? and when exactly are you going?

@Oladunwo, R u in university of Oldenburg too?

I applied for a postgraduate programme in renewable Energy under the DAAD scholarship this month and Oldenburg told me they will inform me about the result in December. Apart from good result tho (1st), i wrote a good motivation letter and research proposal. I just hope it works out by God grace.

I dont know if Nigerians really get the DAAD scholarship cause have not seen anyone, but there should be some?

I going for msc in microbiology, in sha Allah i will be going by first week in sept once my visa is out

daimlerbenz:
Date?

lagos to dusseldorf , 29th of aug

daimlerbenz:
When do you want to travel? From where (location lagos or abuja)? Where do you wish to land. I will help you check cheap prices. And NO! wakanow.com never gives cheapest rate.

Thanks boss, i want to travel from lagos. pm replied

ogagaejay:


My man, the price doesn't change whether you buy from nigeria or any where. They sell from their website, which doesn't consider location, just the journey itself. I know a ticket for a journey from nigeria is always more compared to a ticket to nigeria

na wa oooo, ticket price is really on the high side presently, i just pray my school send me an extension or else, na to find another cooperative money enter plane

yusufftaiwo:

Yes, dats definitely an issue because Ur date is so close... Use wakanow.com to check lowest rate

I guess i will send my bro the money to buy from there, according to what he told me that it is always cheaper from there. I will try to compare and see wch one is better...:. Make i begin dey pack my tinz small small because we shall all say Alhamdulilah in the end.

missZ1:
Have you gotten you confirmation?

Yes ma'am, although my brother went there to complain, not quite long when he called me he just left there, i got their msg

yusufftaiwo:

Glad for U bro... start packing o...cheers

Thanks, Boss airfare is so high dis time o, and i plan to move soon, abeg anyone who have idea about low cost ticket should help a brother out o

yusufftaiwo:

Glad for U bro... start packing o...cheers

Boss airfare is so high dis time o, and i plan to move soon

hello my wonderful e-family, finally the bank has sent me the confirmation of my payment. Thanks for your relentless and invaluable advice....yusufttaiwo,.xpensivetT, aibee, ogagaejay eke47...... it shall end in success.

yusufftaiwo:

Just reply the funding reminder email they sent to you...

Thanks

House to wch email do one send the embassy confirmation of payment?

What am really worried about is that the db itself stipulates that confirmation of fund recipt will be sent within two working days, but today makes mine 5working days. I recieved the transfer slip of 6k from my bro 2weeks ago and deposit slip of 2090 k on thursday. I wonder what went wrong with the transaction.........sept1 is really ringing bell aloud

He sent me all the details of the transfer and deposit already, so i guess the origin of d issue is from the db.

seek4yemi1:
Bro am not saying you shldnt trust your bro bt sometimes u just av to be wise u know sorry 4 dat if i sound naughty,i live in Dubai and i av seen a lot btw bro of d same parent,tell your bro to send you copy of the transfer slip or print out,my aunt send all to me,he has to be given some kind of evidence to show he trans
fer some fund and we r talking abt8040euro nt naira o,my db acct was credited from London By my aunt i send the total amnt in naira to her naija acct and she transfer the money from her bank in London after 3 days i received a mail from db,we are taking abtsome one transfering money from Germany itself it shouldnt be this difficult u know,i suppose to transfer from Dubai here but the charges illustrated by my bank is too much that is y i used d cheap method o,i be Ijebu man o,try to call db tho they cant give you details abt ur block acct dey r nt licensed to,u might tell dem u want to confirm is any amnt was transfered to ur acct,then also send them a mail too.

ogagaejay:

OK man, I will be praying for you, because indeed it is a lot of money

Thanks bro
