I know, the bus in this case can be used....the thicker cable carries more charge than the lighter ones

olenyi:
Of course.

But some smart guy now coat aluminum with a golden color to deceive people.

My warm regards.

after picking a 2A 5v and above charger, look in to the usb port it, there usually 3 metalic strips inside the port... if its sliver like in colour, drop it, go for the gold like color instead...copper is a better conductor than aluminium...

Weirdgee:
I greet everyone here specially. Recently my charger got bad, as a result I intend buying new one. Pls I need u guys help in buying good charger( fast charge) that can charge my hot 5 fast. Thanks waiting for recommendations.

NB: I only have 1.5k as budget.

Thanks for sharing

SOME USEFUL TIPS
If you are having doubts about maybe the embassy saw/read your sent e-mails or not in instances like- sending of confirmation of BA, making inquiries concerning visa delay or other inquiries at alien offices of your intended cities. You can use google mailtrack to track your e-mails (Gmail users only), whenever the embassy or any individual read your emails, it will show a double tick and number of times your email was read and a single tick if it has not been read (you get notification for this, you can disable if you want to).

http://help.mailtrack.io/customer/en/portal/articles/1385608-installing-mailtrack

That is the link to setup google mail track on PC. Note that you have to install google chrome on PC and send the email (gmail) from google chrome but you can check with mobile after sending if it has been read. There are also android mobile set up which i am not very conversant with but for iPhone users, simply download Track - Email Tracking (the app icon is a green capital T ), install and follow up instructions. you can send messages to your friends to test it.

Futhermore, for people coming this winter, Buy Jeans in 9ja, there are some good stores in 9ja with good thick jeans, One low quality jean is 29 euros up here, except you are OBO. Budget about 50-100 euros for good and warm winter jacket, gloves and money for winter shoes esp for places that snows heavily, it doesn't really snow in Berlin compared to Munchen. Get ready to buy thick Duvet. Sometimes you have to close eyes and buy good stuffs, and stop converting to naira when you wanna buy stuffs, it helps sometimes. If you are coming around November to December, you have to get some warm wears from 9ja, else you will perish in cold from the airport. Get 2 mouth extension, change your laptop cable to 2 mouth (not the powerpack, you know what i mean), bring bed spread and curtain, clipper, flashdrive, bring flipflops, liquids are not allowed on the plane but some people travelled with palm oil (make sure to tie it very well and wrap it), if you are using BA, come wit about 400-500 before you unblock, if you are SL, budget about 2k for the first 4 months depending on the city, remember you start spending euros from the airport. Don't bring unnecessary stuffs like rice, spag, salt, sugar. Bring garri and noodles and condiments like maggi and curry.

For Travels and movement in DE: Download the DB Navigator for general travels (Train, buses, Tram, etc.) and if you are coming to Berlin, download the BVG Farhinfo app (its shows you the fastest route and how to navigate easily. I will say google maps is mostly important for directions on short distances and to know durations of long and short distance travels as well. It is important to have mobile internet on your phone if you are new to a place and going out. There is also FlixBus, it is like a subsidized bus travels mainly from cities to cities and to some EU countries.

For residence permit- for cities where you have to wait about 1 month before you get your card, and that is after 1-2 months before you get appointment in some cases, and you know you need work to survive, you can ask your RP officer on the day of your appointment to give you a temporary work permit, it is like an A4 paper with all your details including passport photo and it will be stamped, the paper will state that you had applied for a RP and the type of permit you will get including the number of days you can work which is 120 full day or 240 half days in a year. First thing first is to get an accommodation which is a prerequisite for city registration and issuance of a RP.

For health insurance, its a 2 way thing, the school will say public health insurance if you are not up to 30 years and private if you are more than 30, my guys not up to 30 years are using Mawista 33 euros monthly and it was accepted. Don't know how they did that but you can make inquiry from your school. TK and AOK is around 107 euros monthly. But public is better than private, if you fall off a bicycle or get hit by a car or have a serious ailment, the public like AOK pays everything but if you are using private, you will pay yourself at first and the private will reimburse some back depending on your insurance subscription with them which you must provide proofs for and trust me, and trust me these treatments are expensive.

And lastly, learn the language while you can, in big cities like Frankfurt, Munchen, Berlin, you might not really need it but in small cities, man you mostly need it to get a job at least A2 level. In all, you need the language to be open to more opportunities.
if you will be staying in Bremen, Stuttgart, Rastatt or areas closer there or if you have friends living there that you can stay with, you can always apply for vacation job at Daimler Mercedes-Benz, for working students, they pay 15 euros per hour and you get to work 35-39 hours weekly depending on your contract (Do the Math) and you cant combine it with school work, thats why its called vacation jobs.
Here is the website for Daimler Mercedes-Benz: https://www.daimler.com/career/job-search/
from position type, click vacation job.

For general job search: de.indeed.com
For buying of used stuffs like gadgets, and also job search in your area: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de

When you get in, open N26 bank, one of the best online banks here. Activities are online, no bank branches, Fast and easy, Banking app is in English, its is also free including free ATM cards
Downloading of movies, and some games w/ copyright are illegal here, a German bro was fined 13,000 euros for movies download... imagine they fine you that one, you don die be that!!

What will happen if she is not unbanned?

@Justwise look how much plea you have gotten on her behalf, shows she meant no harm, just maybe she wasn't aware of some of the rules...she has been of tremendous support even as I do not know her from ADAM. Always ready to assist when called upon

The song is actually not bad...she has a good vocal tessitura, and way better than Tonto

Ghostty:
Hello All.

I have been visiting this site as a guest for 2years, but today I had to sign up as a member. I do not intend to write so much, so permit me to go straight to the point.

I graduated in 2017 from one of the federal university in the South and finished my NYSC last year April. Ever since I have been hunting for jobs so to keep body and soul, I have written hundreds of job exams and attended several interviews but none has yielded any positive result yet.


Please help a brother push this to FP so I can get all the advice I need as much as possible. Thank you.

I suggest you take the job and after 3 months to 1 year quit, experience is key, secondly no hr likes seeing gap years in cv especially if you re not doing anything reasonable in the gap year.

These guys should stop generalizing from a a perspective. Has he featured Yemi Alade, Simi. Cuppy. When it comes to featuring in Nigeria, I give it to Tiwa and Zlatan. On a neutral note, Must you Debatize every topics?

he has featured in Yemi Alade's song

i suggest you go to another state close by and renew it, don't give room for anybody to question your seriousness on travelling...what is worth doing is worth doing well. my 2cent

tiersly:
Hello house please I have a question.
My current passport expires next year February and I’ve been trying to renew it at the immigration office here in Osun but they are saying there’s no booklet to print at the moment.

Can I present my current passport if the new one hasn’t been processed yet ?
Will there be any sanction ?

we will we will we will we will we will will we will we will

I pray it comes out positive, didn't do well sha

Cheroty1:
I have no clue about that. I'm sincerely just hoping for the best given that it seems to be a great opportunity. Maybe more folks here should tell us their test experience and any information that could help everyone.

Cheroty1:
True, very true - the test was really engaging. Not sure when to expect a reply from them but I have asked around and I can tell everyone here that it is a very juicy role, hence the rigorous recruitment process.

Lol, that was even Microsoft Excel 2019 o.....certainly not easy to know all shortcuts! Let's hope for the best. Good luck to everyone!

Got idea how many persons they would be picking?

Yet to hear from them, the test was engaging and must say tricky. GDI, how can i remember all the the excel shortcut na...

Ruthie234:
When you open the link, scroll down to book an appointment for passport and consular services at the German Embassy in Abuja, click on it then you'll see :
Please follow the link to book an appointment in Abuja.
Book under consular matters not on German passports matters.

Thanks, I appreciate

please how can someone navigate from the page to book for appointment for the certification of documents, as the only thing i see is checklist...

Ruthie234:
Sorry saw your pm not quite long,
This is the link.

that was for study in Italy...i just don't want similar thing to happen to me for this also

Modesta24:
How please?
I don't understand you

thanks, i have been a victim of deadline iss this year, i know how painful it is get all necessary documents ready even going as far as paying tuition and accomodation and you are told that at the submission venue that the date for study visa application is closed.

LexRE:
Well yes you can certify you documents at the emvassy as long as you have the applied for a school and you have the application form. It doesn’t matter when you’d use it.

thanks

sassy92:
You need to present an application form for the school you're certifying for, without it they will not certify your docs. You must certify ALL academic and professional credentials. Again, please read through the thread.

@Sassy92, please i wish to ask you a question...i've searched threads but yet to see any concerning that.

I intend to pursue winter 2020 application and i wish to certify all my documents from the consulate instead of using notary public or court of law.
My question; is it possible i start summer application and not really completing but get the application form, take it to the consulate and have my documents certified now while my real application comes up when winter application opens?

This my sound anyhow but i am just trying to be fast here

Vielen Dank

thanks oonce again @Sassy, i am reading and coming, on page 50 of Thread 6... poco a poco we go d alright

Congratulatios to everyone who has gotten AMs, go there and excel. i wish to get a clarification to avoid rush hour period.

I wish to apply to more than 5 schools, hopefully i'll get admission in at least 2.
My question, in my application, i wish to apply for at least one basic MSC course like physics in other to get admission and start visa application. Is it possible to get switch from one course to a more preferable course during the application process?
secondly, assuming i started my visa application with physics, after visa is granted, but before leaving Nigeria i had a better offer from a different university over there. can i leave the former and go for the latter?

No amount of assistance is inconsequential.


Grüße

Thanks.
