About the Arabic clans in Berlin, I've watched documentaries about them on YouTube. Here's one of the documentary but it's in German though, they are able to get away with a lot of crimes. Like in this documentary they stole up to 10 million euros while robbing a bank.
fieryy: Our favourite aunty bukatyne has started again o. We get it by now. You are HAPPILY MARRIED, you love being a wife material, you have found your calling, blablabla
But aunty bukatyne that your marriage that you cherish ehn is some of our nightmares
And next time, before selling opinions as facts start linking out the source
Look at this one for example :
'The children part is contributing your own quota to the world.'
Aunty, we are ALREADY OVERPOPULATED, which is leading us to a lot of problems
Or this
'An average lady has her B.Sc. before she gets married'
'I take it upon myself to tell people especially ladies to do it well aka marry the right person because it makes fulfilling their purpose easier and rids the society of weak marriages producing weak legacies and several complaints'
My own is
WHO ASKED YOU FOR ADVICE? How do you know what my purpose is?
Ladies can not be successful in peace again abi? That Kourtney Kardashian you're quoting will still choose her successful career over your own successful marriage any day any time.
All these aunties sef
Give me Kourtney's money abeg, who marriage help .
globalresource: I noticed Atheist hate Christian's and it because Christian are tolerant and you can follow your belief in peace. You dare not tried this with islam or in most Islamic countries. If you know you know.
An atheist was recently arrested in northern Nigeria for criticising Allah and he's facing the death penalty. Don't think, Islam is untouchable!.
Is that what you want for atheists whenever they criticise your religion? , to be killed? , does that scream tolerance to you?.
No religion is untouchable and please miss me with the BS about Christians being tolerant, you are not even tolerant to each other to begin with!.
If you claim to be peaceful, why do you bother when your religion is criticised?, if you are so confident in what you believe in, why don't you like seeing your religion criticised?.
Who be all this ones,na the reason we no want this thread for front page be this.. Nigeria wey no demonic,how far?.....carry you and your religion talk comot for here joor....
As a foreigner you should be careful not to get into trouble, some offences might earn you a deportation sharp sharp.
I knew this Nigerian man who stayed more than 6 months in Nigeria before returning to Germany. If you are not a citizen, you are not allowed to spend more than 6 months outside Germany only on special occasions.
Anyway, this man came back to Germany and he was threatened with deportation, he sued the foreign office and won but guess what?, he was still deported.
My dad and his friends had to donate money to him so he can start business in Nigeria.
Danielhouston: Black girls here are hard to understand. Some of them date white boys, some are not interested in anybody, whether white or black. They don’t trust black men. The ones who have papers always think any black man coming close to them only wants document.
You will find most of them in the African churches doing God’s work until they get pregnant for a brother in the church and eventually marry. Some of them just get pregnant for white men to get papers and be single moms. They refuse to get a job either because they get child support and money from the government. All they do is sit at home and rub cream.
Black marriages here also mostly end up in disasters. The black men bring their wives from Nigeria, they think they can control the wife like they would in Nigeria, but the Nigerian girl becomes exposed and don’t take the bullsh*t. Marriage ends in disaster.
There’s also a lot of domestic violence in black marriages, black men beating their wives. I’ve seen that one. Sometimes the wife will not want to call police on her husband so he won’t get in trouble, but the foolish man will keep beating her. Such marriages usually become topic of gossip in Afro shops.
Those last two paragraphs are so true, I knew you were gonna touch on this. A Nigerian man was deported for consistently beating his wife, as in straight back to his village in Nigeria!.
Nigerian men who want to bring their wives to Germany should know that once she gets here, she is definitely going to change, you can't control her!.
You are on point @ bolded, but I do ask myself, with the kind of contribution I pay monthly. If after working for 30years, why should I leave my contributions and go back home? We all know old age come with different ailment, can i get top notch medical aid in Nigeria? Will my children follow me back to Nigeria?
I feel, if you do not pay that much into the social system, then you have nothing to lose, when you want to retire.
I think you can collect the money you contributed to your retirement, you should research more on that if you are interested.
I understand what you saying though but you know old people here are generally very lonely, I think going back to Nigeria is a great option, I might even consider that.
Danielhouston: Nigerians in Germany and abroad in general, I have a question.
Do you feel settled in Germany or where you live? I see Nigerians here who live in a room in shared apartment but they’re building houses and buying cars in Nigeria and sending all their money to Nigeria. They probably would not live in the house they’re building in Nigeria and they don’t intend to return to Nigeria to live. So what’s the purpose?
I’ve always believed in enjoying my money cos life is short and I make myself at home anywhere I live. I don’t see why I’ll be working hard in Germany but live like a pauper and all my money will be going to Nigeria, I’ll be buying cars in Nigeria that I won’t drive. Or a house that I’ll only stay in when I visit once in a year.
I want to hear your thoughts on this.
I think it varies. Some people don't want to live in Germany forever, hence they try to invest back home so once it's their retirement, they will go back and enjoy their investment. This is my opinion though,from what I've observed.
I'm still a student, so I don't feel that settled just yet, but I have my family here so I feel somewhat settled, if that makes sense
Savagethe21st: lol not surprising since blacks are the minority. What about their entertainment industry, are blacks doing well there?. Cus i knw blacks esp Nigerians are doing well in British rap scene and in movies too.
Arabs dominate the rap industry in Germany. I've listened to a couple of rap songs and most aren't from Germans but from foreigners who grew up here.
My favourite german Rapper is CAPITAL BRA, he's from Ukraine and popular too.
Oh they’re are worse and very rude. It also depends on who you meet. It is the way Berlin is in general. Poor customer service everywhere. It’s not easy. Just pray you meet a good person
I think they intentionally employ such people there, haha.
@OP, how's the foreign office in Berlin and how easy is it to renew your residence permit there?. Cause from my experience those people who work at the foreign office can frustrate your life if they want to .
Danielhouston: People pls understand that racism is not something you overcome by speaking the language and pretending it doesn’t exist. Ignoring racism does not make it go away. And no, you can not live above it. That thought is dangerous.
The issue of Yoruba vs Igbo and Bayelsa choosing their own people is NOT racism. That is tribalism. They are different things. The issue of South Africans attacking Nigerians is NOT racism. It is prejudice. Pls know the difference. Racism has to do with “race”. Black people cannot be racist towards each other.
A lot of black people in Europe suffer internalized racism, they think if they do things to make the white man happy and take the blame for the racism they experience, it will make it better. You can integrate all you want, speak the language, obey the law, kiss their behind and they will still hate you! There is no excuse for racism and it is NOT your fault. Don’t let them guilt trip you.
I try as much to stay away from black people who don’t see racism or who pretend it doesn’t exist. They are the worst. Some of them are married to racist white people. They’re the ones the racist white people are referring to when they say “I’m not racist, my husband is black”, “I’m not racist, my best friend is black”. Don’t be that black friend. Call them out!
If you’re tired of hearing about racism, close your ears and keep living in Lala land. Don’t tell people not to talk about it or that they’re over reacting. The rights you’re enjoying today is because some black people never stopped talking about it. They fought for your right to travel abroad.
School them .
I also stay away from such people, I can't pretend it doesn't exist I can't just!.
And I hate when people think speaking the language will automatically redeem you from racism, like there are foreigners who speak perfct german but still experience racism, myself included.
Why are you always sounding like a pessimist? Racism exist in Germany, so what? No country is free from racism and discrimination, just that some are good at hiding it.
So spare us with "there is racism" "you will be discriminated" " the people are unfriendly " bullshit.
Focus on the good side - positive. And if that is hard for you, then don't comment at all. Because it doesn't make sense to me how you always preach and overemphasize about racism in Germany when we already have the full picture.
Lmao, who is this one now?. Overemphsize?, how?, where?. If you are referring to my comment about Bavaria, I wasn't the only one on that thread who said Bavarians are racists, that was my experience there and no I won't sugar coat it so you and others will feel good. You didn't see where I said living in Germany is good abi, you just want to focus on those comments that don't sit well with you.
I won't be the one to focus only on the good side, you, a stranger don't get to tell me which side to focus on!. If I want to solely focus on racism I will and you will do nothing about it, get that into your skull.
Part of the reason why I like this thread is that op is highlighting both the good and the bad, if it's bothering you, you can choose to ignore!.
Ugoerico: I want to ask u 2 questions bro, first, did your debt problem you just described enter Inkasso? 2ndly, when i get Mahnungsbrief from my O2 contract do they also reflect it to Schufa? Cos i do get it often for often paying for 2months(1 month in arrears) instead of monthly. My understanding be say na only when it enters Inkasso that you will be banned from contracts for some years, so i make sure i don't violate the last Mahnung. I must confess i lack financial disciplin,leading me to having always to pay arrears of especially my O2 and atimes Strom. Same happens to my rent cos I fall under the 15th day Lohn and my rent is due latest 5th, so I went and spoke with my Vermieter about that, but who knows what goes into my Schufa in that regards. Any way I think this your Post will make me more conscious.
I'm not experienced in this but from what I know.
It won't go into Schufa immediately, firstly you receive warnings and when you fail to pay after the warnings, it will be reflected on your Schufa.
Danielhouston: Germans are also morons when it comes to following the law. It can be a good and bad thing. They are not they type to fight for their rights. They rather suffer in silence and do what they’re told. In Germany, customer service is so bad and rude. The worst customer service I’ve seen anywhere I’ve been to. Whether in offices, restaurants, bars, and Germans don’t complain.
I remember traveling with Flixbus in the summer and it was so hot. The driver wouldn’t turn on the AC. We were sweating and choking but nobody could complain. I stood up and went to confront the driver. They were all shocked. The driver moaned and finally turned on the AC and they were all happy. But none of them had courage to complain.
Germans are not freedom fighters like the USA. Everything goes over here. You’ll find some protests from time to time. Germans mind their business. You can be getting beat up on the street and Germans will walk by. You can attack someone in the bus and Germans will not blink an eye. They’ll just sit still and do nothing. Only rarely will someone react. They are also grumpy, especially the old people.
I believe I talked about job/career and the struggles of black people here. You can own a business. There are many black business owners. Some have shops, some do other businesses. There are also restaurants owned by black people. Like Jamaican restaurant, Nigerian/Ghanaian restaurant, Eritrean restaurant... if you can afford it and you can get the license, go for it. You just have to follow the rules of running a business like everyone else.
As for climbing the ladder, Germany is not designed for Black people or foreigners to prosper. You can be comfortable and successful but you will not be up there with the Germans. UK is better than Germany when it comes to successful black people. Things are changing, thanks to the black Americans coming in. The Black Americans are calling them out on their racism steadily and they don’t tolerate nonsense. It is not a land where dreams come true. It is a place where dreams can be pursued.
People who want to come to Germany should read that second paragraph well because it's 100% the truth. I'm in the system so I know this country isn't designed for us at all. Their laws alone, some of them don't make sense especially when it comes to renewing your residence permit.
