Their facebook page would help you with ùr issues


But then Fintiba seems to b easy, y not use that and save urself some stress

while Fintiba will charge u small fees of €4-5 monthly...Deustche Bank offers free service for the 2yrs u will run ya programme. Meaning no monthly service fee for 2yrs. But once ya programme ends and u decide staying back in Germany and continue using ya Deutsche Bank Account...Then u need to do some paperworks after which they will start charging the normal monthly fee as the account will now be converted from a Blocked Current Account to a Normal Current Account.... Hope this helps clarify the question on the difference between DB and Fintiba

Hi Carbrini, for German student visa you need to go to German visa website "http://www.nigeria.diplo.de/visa" and read about long stay visa, you will see information on student visa requirements and checklist. But before you start talking visa, you need to apply to schools and get your admission letter. Why waiting for admission letter, open your block account through Fintiba or Deutsche bank....... You will also find details of how to go about it on German visa website . Upon receiving your admission, book for visa appointment, get all your documents in accordance with checklist and go for interview. You have seen already typical questions being asked ,so practice accordingly. Also plan on how to fund your block account with about 8829 euro prior or after your interview. This forumn started from part 1 and it's already in part 4 with each part having 500 pages. You can also help yourself by starting to read from part 1/part2/part 3 till date. Best of luck!

Best Regards,

Collins

Its seems this block account minimum opening balance keeps increasing. First from 8700- 8800 and now 8829....God abeg oooh help ya sons and daughters oooh eno easy at all

assuming that every country should use the dollar is imperialism at th highest stage. Nominal GDP that places america as the largest economy is actually the flawed model of calculating the economic might of a nation.

lol...cmon bro....in global history it has always been that "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" .....so the imperialism stuff is overrated....any country would want to be imperialistic if its got the mojo to do so.....besides the US economy far outweighs that of China...The US has the largest technological base in the world and although China has surpassed it as the largest producer and exporter in the world but American goods possesses more quality and value...The Chinese are thriving on cheap labour which leads to the large manufacture of large goods that are all too often with less quality and these goods have flooded African Asian and Latin American markets...due to the poor purchasing power of these states....they prefer to patronise Chinese goods as they are cheaper...but this is the catch...China is an export driven economy (the nature of the US economy in the 19th and early 20th century)...while the US is a consumer driven economy...American companies make more money in the US than they do outside the country...this is a stage that the Chinese economy has not attained...and that is why its economy is somewhat precarious as it relies so much on export trade...Also although America has a population of about 350million people...they are more viable economically than the Chinese population of 1.3billion due to the possession of high GDP per capita....China has a long way to go..just because they now export more than the Americans in international trade doesn't mean that their economy is larger than the US....broda wetin US take pass China be like from here reach the Mediterranean Sea....oooh lol

CHINA
Who Has the World's No. 1 Economy? Not the U.S.

By the most measures, China has passed the U.S. and is pulling away.
By Noah Smith
October 18, 2017, 6:30 AM EDT

The wear and tear doesn't help. Photographer: kurt Wittman/UIG via Getty Images
What’s the most powerful country in the world? There’s a good case to be made that it’s China.

There are many kinds of power -- diplomatic, cultural, military and economic. So an easier question to ask is: What’s the world’s largest economy? That’s almost certainly China.

Many might protest when hearing this. After all, the U.S. still produces the most when measured at market exchange rates:

But this comparison is misleading, because things cost different amounts in different countries. Gross domestic product is supposed to measure the amount of real stuff -- cars, phones, financial services, back massages, etc. -- that a country produces. If the same phone costs $400 in the U.S. but only $200 in China, China’s GDP is getting undercounted by 50 percent when we measure at market exchange rates. In general, less developed countries have lower prices, which means their GDP gets systematically undercounted.

Economists try to correct for this with an adjustment called purchasing power parity (PPP), which controls for relative prices. It’s not perfect, since it has to account for things like product quality, which can be hard to measure. But it probably gives a more accurate picture of how much a country really produces. And here, China has already surpassed the U.S.:

If you don’t trust the murky PPP adjustments, a simple alternative is just to look at the price of a Big Mac. The same burger costs 1.8 times more in the U.S. than in China. Adjusting the market-exchange-rate GDP numbers by that ratio would put China even farther ahead.

In some dimensions, China’s lead is even larger. The country’s manufacturing output overtook that of the U.S. almost a decade ago. Its exports are more than a third larger as well.

American commentators may be slow to recognize China’s economic supremacy, but the rest of the world is starting to wake up to the fact:

This doesn’t mean China's population is the world’s richest -- far from it. The countries with the highest income per person, in order, are Qatar, Luxembourg, Singapore, Brunei and the United Arab Emirates. But few would argue that Qatar or Luxembourg is the world’s leading economy -- while per-capita numbers are important for the well-being of a nation’s people, they don’t translate into comprehensive national power unless a country also has a large population.

China’s modest per-person income simply means that the country has plenty of room to grow. Whereas developed countries can only get richer by inventing new things or making their economies more efficient, poor countries can cheaply copy foreign technology or imitate foreign organizational practices. That doesn’t always happen, of course -- many poor countries find themselves trapped by dysfunctional institutions, lack of human capital or other barriers to development.

But there’s good reason to think that China will overcome at least some of these obstacles. Economists Randall Morck and Bernard Yeung have a new paper comparing the histories of Japan and South Korea -- both of which climbed out of poverty to achieve rich-country status -- with the recent rise of China. They find that China’s institutions are, broadly speaking, developing along the same path followed by its successful neighbors.

In other words, not only is China already the world’s largest economy, the gap between it and the U.S. can be expected to grow even wider. This continues to be borne out in the growth statistics -- though China has slowed in recent years, its economy continues to expand at a rate of more than 6 percent, while the U.S. is at just over 2 percent. If that disparity persists, China’s economy will be double that of the U.S. in less than two decades.

So economically, China has surpassed the U.S., and is on track to zoom far ahead in the near future. But what about military power? Here, it still looks like the U.S. reigns supreme. It spends more money on its military than China, has a larger nuclear arsenal, and -- thanks to its recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq -- has a more seasoned fighting force as well.

But that doesn’t mean that the U.S. would win a war, if the two countries fought. A full nuclear exchange, of course, would have no winners. But in a protracted conventional struggle, there’s a good chance that China’s weight of numbers and manufacturing prowess would win out. As an analogy, consider the U.S. and Japan in World War II. At the beginning of the war, Japan’s aircraft carrier force outnumbered that of the U.S., and its navy was far more seasoned (due to Japan’s war in China). But when the war began, the U.S. greatly outproduced its opponent:

Economic Size Made all the Difference

The U.S. also had a 2-to-1 manpower advantage. When two countries of similar technology levels fight, numbers tend to tell. China has a larger GDP, more manufacturing output and four times the population. And as its recent advances in stealth technology, directed energy weapons, hypersonic missiles and other areas demonstrate, its military technology isn’t that far behind the U.S. In a drawn-out war, once the mighty Chinese steamroller got moving, it would be unstoppable.

In other words, China is now in a position similar to that of the U.S. at about the turn of the 20th century -- a formidable superpower that just hasn’t yet felt any reason to exercise its dominance. Once the U.S. woke up to the need to throw its weight around, no one doubted its primacy.

China may never make the same decision. It may choose to remain restrained on the international stage, with a modest nuclear arsenal and a light footprint in global institutions. If so, its dominance will remain a lurking, looming potentiality instead of a real and present fact of life.

But I wouldn't count on that

THE GDP (PPP) is a flawed model for measuring the total economy...The US remains the largest Economy in the world

From the guy's pic, I can only conclude that those SARS operatives were only doing their legitimate job.

Without mincing words, the guy looks like a struggling yahoo boy!

Some corpers think wearing khaki gives them an immunity from being interrogated or arrested by the police.

What a daft orientation!

He was even struggling with them, they should have given him the beating of his miserable life.

Many Nigerians who are claiming this and that is my right have never for once opened the Nigerian constitution, some have never even seen the Nigerian constitution talkless of owning one.

All they know is right to life, life to possession of property, freedom of movement bla bla bla that they were thought in social studies while in primary school.


He should just go and be thanking his stars that he was let go.



Nonsense!

your ignorance knows no bounds...you are an apotheosis of "The African Mindset"......A Prof i revere once said in his seminar on "Humanities" that "THE BLACK IS MAN IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM TO HIMSELF BUT ALSO TO HIS FELLOW BLACK AND TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD" ........guess statements like this proves it affitmative

boman2014:
goodone

not the ones that will be shouting reconstrution up-and-down , making noise and disturbing the peace of Nigeria

It would be illusory to think that there is anything as "peace of Nigeria"....Because in the real sense the state has known no peace since 1960
