I just applied to the conference and I was given a travel and accommodation grant. I later found out the conference would hold in Germany.

ok. Are you presenting a paper?

ask1509:
Hello Everybody,
I am Oluwasegun and I just got a scholarship to attend a science conference in Germany. The conference is fully sponsored. On reading through this thread and the Visa information page of the German mission, I know I have to do the following (please correct me if I'm wrong ):

1. Fill the Shengen Visa short stay application form and print it out.
2. Add the print out above to some other required documents for the business visa and gather the docs, also get the cash equivalent of the visa fee.
3. Book an appointment for Visa interview online at the consulate.
4. Go for the interview where I will submit all documents and pay for the visa in cash
5. Hope for the best result

However, I am a bit confused about the required docs due to my profile. I just came back to Nigeria last year (from Cameroon where I did my masters) and since then, I have been freelancing online basically on Fiverr and on Upwork. Consequently, I do not have all the following documents required for travellers attending a conference :

1 Certificate of Incorporation/Registration of the company in Nigeria
2 Memorandum and Articles of Association / Company and Allied Matters Act
3 Federal Inland Revenue Service Income Tax Clearance Certificate/Company Income Tax Clearance Certificate of the past year
4 Company´s bank statements of the last three months (only stamped and signed bank statements accepted)
5 Letter of introduction from employer
6 Employment contract and pay slips of the last three months
7 Evidence of business in Nigeria and also of former and current transactions in Nigeria and/or abroad (e. g. bills of lading, receipts, contracts)


I am thinking I should just be silent about my freelancing all together and tell them I am unemployed and that I am a prospective student (I have a PhD) admission already (but I am yet to start) in order not to complicate issues for myself. So that I will only have to provide doc 3 (the FIRS revenue Income Tax Clearance) and my Personal bank statements. However, will not providing docs 1, 2,4,5,6,7 above affect my chances? Also, do I really need FIRS revenue Income Tax Clearance (doc 3) since I am not working yet?

I will be looking forward to your comments and answers to the issues raised above. I will also like to have your comment regarding whether I should include being a freelancer or not as I think this will complicate issues for me. Finally, targeted arrival date is Nov 10, when is the best time to book an appointment?

Pls how did you get the conference sponsorship?

ibrahimdoc:
bro please what are the questions you were asked? will appreciate that.

What are you going to do in Germany (you show evidence), is it related to your career growth & development, what do you do,for how long (letter of intro from employer), letter of invitation, questions on your qualification, are you married, how many kids? then general questions.

ibrahimdoc:
bro please what are the questions you were asked? will appreciate that.

your purpose for traveling, sponsor, really easy questions.

Good evening all. pls can a baby take immunization and malaria treatment at the same time?

@OP How does one become holy and how can one remain holy?

Anyone who believes in Jesus perfect sacrifice cannot miss heaven.

John 10:26-29 KJV
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Jude 1:24 KJV
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Ephesians 5:25-27 KJV
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, [27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

If a believer misses heaven, then Christ's sacrifice was in vain.

Good morning all. My baby is about ten weeks now. Since few days after his birth, he has been having catarrh issues. He has already taken abt 3 courses of antibiotics, yet his nose makes sounds as if he has catarrh. Pls has anyone experienced this and what is d remedy?

Josh44s:
You are a big fooool for asking such stuupid question. Even Islam don't permit it, let alone Christian

silence is the best answer fit for you.

superior1:
When you reduce Christianity to good or bad moral code like many questions I see on NL, you demonstrate lack of understanding of what Christianity really is.

Married couple should act in accordance with the conviction of their hearts in godliness and righteousness.

hmmm. So they can us it in godliness

Blackfire:
One day we will hear question like can a Christian have foursome.

Though I love sex and it's artistry, but life is more than sex.

Sex is very important in marriage o

cold:
Hmmm

pressplay411:
They legally allowed to do whatever tickles their fancy.
Theres nothing wrong in exploring to maximize sexual experience.
Theres no biblical/quranic reference against it.

is it scripturally right. There is a bible verse that speaks against using the body against its natural use

Lalasticlala methinks we need more opinions

Adeoba10:

Can you guys pls let Ojukwu and his manhood rest in peace.

pressplay411:

Is it wrong for a married Christian couple to use intimacy gadgets? This question was raised in a Christian chat group I belong to.
What do you think?

Good evening. pls how can I add my child as dependent?

GAZZUZZ:
No village people are involved, buy a good starter motor.

please can it be repaired.

I have problems starting my car the first time everyday. It usually makes some funny sound from the kick or no sound at all before it starts after a few trials.
The thing is that after it starts, I have no problem with starting it again for that day. This has made it difficult for my mechanic and electrician to detect the fault because each time I go to the workshop, the car starts properly.
I had to change the full kick sometime ago and the problem stopped. but now it started again with the new kick.

pls what could be the problem?

Good morning. I am registered under NHIS with a private hospital. Recently the hospital came up with a policy that pregnant women under NHIS cannot see their gynaecologist during antenatal. Instead they are seen by a general practitioner. While their private patients see the gynaecologist and are given preferential treatment.

Pls is this permitted by NHIS?

What I see now is that NHIS patients are treated as persons begging for healthcare.

For Nigeria to be great the mind of her citizens need to be rewired and reprogramme for excellence.How do we do these? that is where a good leader come in.

Where should that leader come from, from the same populace with the wrong mentality?

wydmag:
I won't say he is totally correct! Come to think of it, if you take all Nigerians to America, Nigerians will have to live based on the system Americans live by which will be very good, it may be rough at first but we are very good at standing on our feet. I don't need to tell you what will happen if you take Americans to Nigeria, let's say they survive the weather, will they be able to survive our ways of live without a bloody revolution. Exploitation of different sorts, abuse of power, will likely weaken them. And we in turn will have to colonize them!

people create and sustain systems. A system will definitely crumble if people with the wrong mindset run it.

In a social media group I belong to, comments were being made in response to the supposed speech made by Donald Trump on Africans and Arabs. One of the comments made is written below:

"To understand the full scale of the predicament of the African and by that the Nigerian, think about the expression: "If you take all Nigerians to America and all Americans to Nigeria, in no time America will degenerate to be like Nigeria and Nigeria will transform to be like America". Friends, the problem is in the programming of the mind of the African which is generally called the culture practised by the African. We desperately need a reconstruction of mind and culture into one that builds a society that sustains human life and humans.".

Do agree or disagree with the above comment?

Whatever your position is, state your reasons and way forward for Nigeria and Africa.

Hello everyone. The Christmas season is here one again. I want us to discusses two major aspects of Christ's birth.
1. Man's need for a saviour.
2. Why did God come as a human?
Please comments with biblical references will help a great deal.
Please let's try to stay on the topic.
God bless.
