Good morning HOUSE,

For me the journey started in 2016 when I ended my NYSC and I hoped to do my Masters abroad cos I didn't want to go through the same stress twice as I did during my undergraduate days in LAUTECH (also called LAUSTRESS).

I graduated from the department of Computer science in 2015 with a 2:1 grade and the miracle for me was I heard of Germany at the nick of time we were about having our POP.

I talked to Friends who had gone ahead of me in the journey, chatted people and make calls to both known and unknown.

In 2017 I got all my documents ready as I checked the criteria on the internet in order to apply to various schools. Admission was a challenge for me as I didn't want to apply through uni assist cos I didn't even have money to apply to schools. I did a good search on dada.de and opted for schools whose applications were free. The following schools accepted my applications in good faith..
Bonn university, TU Ilmenau, Heildschem, TU Darmstad e.t.c.

After my applications, I waited few months for admission as university of Bonn disappointed with a rejection letter. But as God will have it I was compensated the following week by TU Ilmenau. Admission letter came in and it seemed to me like Germany here I come in 2017. Unknown to me I have to book for interview space ahead of time and before I could do that, every slot was taken I was left with no option than to think Summer 2018 here I come.

Months passed by as I mailed the school to please give me another admission letter so I can apply for summer semester but the school refused me and told me that I should use the one they gave to me that it covers for 4 semesters until summer 2019. I decided to follow their instructions and applied with that admission letter.

Fast forward to my interview date:04/01/2018, I appeared at the gate very early in order to avoid any WAHALA from MR. PAULINUS but as prepared as I was I had about 5 documents missing. I didn't know the witches in my father's house that made that happen. As He called us to arrange our documents, I noted the missing documents and I was scared I was going back home that day. In my mind, I was already concluding on Winter 2018. But I held on to God cos I know it will definitely be a miracle.

As I went in to meet the VO. the lady in room 1 saw my admission letter and told me sorry I can't go ahead with this interview cos my admission letter wasn't valid that it was for Winter 2017, I quickly chipped in that it was what the school asked me to use to apply that she should go on with the interview.

Like that wasn't enough, she noticed my missing documents and told me to either go out or she make a photocopy for me for a #1000 per copy biko... I only came with my visa application fee and I don't have anything left on me as I explained to her. She stood up in annoyance and came back with the photocopies. Then said in a low voice "I don't do this for people". I said to myself, 'This could only be God'.

She was tired and ready to get rid of me, she printed a paper full of interview questions and asked me to fill them as she went through my documents again. I hurriedly filled the questionnaire. She suddenly reached out for the paper and told me that was enough. The only question she asked me was tell me about Germany. She printed my receipt, collected my application fee, asked me to sign and that was the end if the interview.

Finally she asked me for my blocked account fund and I told her I would get it by the following week but inside of me I knew I didn't even have a Naira to fund my blocked account yet. But I really believe GOD WILL NOT START WHAT HE HASN'T FINISHED.

Another journey to funding my account began as I trusted God that money would come. Truly money came but it seemed like it was too late. I was expecting my documents back in my house but it didn't come and finally after 2 months of my interview I send the blocked account confirmation on 15/03/2018 and the long awaited A. M. dropped on19/03/2018.

I'm so grateful to God and everyone here on this platform for the support and stories you have all shared.

For those expecting A. M GOD wey do my own effortlessly go do una own too.

Thanks all

Congrats. Go and succeed in Deustch land.

And again another thing bordering me is the fact that the enrollment deadline for my school is on the 28 of March. And I have my interview on the 16th of March...although I Ave been written to the school informing them how hard it is in booking appointment with the Consulate.......but wat they are telling me is that the list grace they can give to me is 19th of April and that's only if I get to the international office in the morning (German time) ............so my worry now is with the visa processing how long will it take the embassy to facilitate the visa process .....becus if they are to enrol me again I have to be there before 19 of April.....so house how visible it is....

Please gurus in the house, do look into this case. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Well Said!
To me, Germany is not Nigeria where public/government schools or institutions are messed up.

When you talk of quality education in advanced and developed countries, public schools are well equipped because the government is so reliable and dependable to the extent that they invest so much to equip their public universities and make sure its of world standard.

Also, from the free tuition fees and oda benefits like duscounted meals at canteens, free transportation around d city, etc, its so clear and obvious dat d only priority of these public schools is not money making but to render good, quality and best of education.

Moreova, I believe in advanced countries like Germany, public/government institutions get some global/national license dat most private school cannot have (e.g internship with some international organizations, collaboration with international communities/organizations).

So Germany is not Nigeria where d government and d system is so corrupt, to the extent that facilities/equipments meant for the public (public institutions inclusive) are siphoned and diverted to their personal businesses/institutions, which consequently and continuously is leading to the production of poor graduates and rich thieves (in d name of politicians).

For example, my university, (a state owned university/public university), is making life more meaningful and less stressful for her students, which will directly and indirectly make studies much more interesting. Outside oda benefits like our semester tickets covering transportation within the entire state and few parts of 2 neighboring states, I also discovered recently that they offer free German classes (A1) to their willing students.


Just my point of view about my comparison between public and private institutions in advanced society like Germany, as against our usual view when comparing public and private institutions in a dead, currupt and glorified-village like Nigeria.

Rightly spoken. Which university is that if I may ask? Thanks
