Unbelievable, Shocked.

The igbos should just forget about their 2020 presidency agitations.

If this thread is to be believed, an Igbo man has already used their slot.

Tinubu should start warming up, it is the turn of South West.

Replying in 2022

But na English course I wan do nau

If your course is in English, it's not compulsory to have any German class however, it's beneficial for your living in Germany and as someone said, you may never have that time here in the short term.

Language certificate should be last in your listing of requirements to study in Germany. Look at the list of student visa requirements.

Mrphilia:
Good day everyone, please my passport names arrangements is different from those in my supporting documents i.e Statement of Results and Transcripts. For example, my Passport the name is (Gbenga Daniels Henry) but in my supporting documents it so (Gbenga Henry Daniels). Would there be issues when applying for visa?

Get a court affidavit that backs this up and attach it to all your applications whether required or not.
In the visa application form, I think there's a place where they ask if you have used a different name before, in this case, you should put your old name.

You ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO USE THE NAME ON YOUR PASSPORT IN THAT ORDER AS YOUR NEW NAME ORDER.

Congratulations to you!!



Please beautiful people!! My friend and brother just received the japa spirit today, he come dey worry me on the process. Me done share my knowledge with him. But the problem to him be say at the moment he only has his transcript and statement of result. Please beautiful people, can he certify the statement of result at MOE and MOFA. He is targeting possibly February intake. Also where do one certify copies for university application in Germany? Lagos or Abuja?

Did your friend and brother know his/her graduating class and GPA yet?
That will determine the appointment category they belong to. If 2:2, Cat B, they should begin by booking appointment and seeking admission.

Certification can be done at Germany embassy in Lagos, MOFA/Min of Edu, High Court (in form of attestation).

Please i'd like to join any WhatsApp group chat where info can be easily accessed with respect to visa inquiries

There might be, but what do you want that's not here?

It is better in a PUBLIC forum.

Hello Everyone,
I just got my student visa and would be travelling next week to Germany. Do I need to get tested or get vaccinated for COVID or anything else before travelling because as of now I never got tested nor got vaccinated for COVID.
Thank you

Since June 11, all covid related restrictions have been lifted.
You don't need to show any proof nor fill any form.

However, contact your airline, especially if they will be transiting anywhere. But you're fine.

Congratulations.

does it mean that both husband and wife 11€k each that’s 22,000 in total

Yes or get a different sponsor which is not advisable as it may backfire.

mrsglo:
Please house, I am new here and have a few questions I need assistance with:

1. Do I need to learn German language before I can be admitted into a PhD program in Germany?

2. Can I travel at the same time to Germany on a study visa with my spouse and kids or they have to join me at a later date?

1. If your PhD program is in English and German language is not a prerequisite, you don't need the language course but it is advisable to learn the language given opportunity and resources, otherwise you're fine without it, and get your way through the first embarrassing few months �

2. Germany doesn't operate like the UK to the best of my knowledge.
-You have to be in Germany already
-Your family will need to apply for a separate visa called the Family Reunion Visa and the person who you're filing for, e.g husband will need to have at least an A.1 German language certificate
-Proof of funds for sustenance in the form of a Blocked Account (about 11,000 EUR) per adult person and additional half of it for a minor or a payslip that suggests so.
-Proof of a adequate living space, very important, depending on the family size.
-Patience, as it might take upto a year to get your family visa(s) after application.

Hence you are sort of required to be in Germany already, you will find out these info.

Jenny2412:
Pls, are there schools in Germany that accepts 2.2 for Msc cos I don search tire and already getting frustrated.
I have Bsc in Sociology so I'm looking at MA/Msc Sociology/Gender Studies or any social science course. Somebody pls help me. I like Bielefeld University but I don't know if 2.2 is acceptable there.

Convert your 2:2 to the German GPA scale. That will enable you see the GPA requirements for the course in the University you wish to apply for.

(Maximum GPA obtainable - Your GPA) ÷ (Maximum GPA obtainable - Minimum GPA required to graduate) X 3 + 1 = Your German GPA (approximate to 1 decimal place.

E.g my GPA is 3.6 out of 5 points
(5-3.6/5-1)x3+1
1.4/4 x 3 (+1)
0.35 x 3 (+1)
1.05 + 1 = 2.05 (~2.1) in German scale.

The German Scale is 1-4 with 1 being the highest obtainable GPA (unlike Nigeria's which is 5).
If your German GPA converted is less than 2.5, admission might be difficult especially in restricted courses (NC). It is not impossible, as they also consider education needs assessment by country.

Snake tomatoes=snake gourd

I understand this is news... But this is a 2021 report and why is it been brought to the front page now?

Godoverevery:
It depends on how you want it.

Have told my parent and fiancée my budget for my wedding is 1.5 million if anyone isn't ok with what I present feel free not to attend.

My plan is too have my white and traditional wedding on the same day.

A nice venue of of 300k will used for both ......in the morning a pastor will conduct the white wedding ceremony with few people from both family.

From 1pm the traditional wedding and reception will hold at the same time.

Break down of my budget.
Venue 300k
Food and drinks 500k
Decoration etc 200
Photo and video 200k
Unforseen expenses 200k

I no my parent will want something bigger but any money they drop won't be spent on my wedding.
The clothes will be using is not an issh.

I could easily have a wedding of 3million budget with few support from my sibling and parent but nah.

Left to me I won't even have any wedding ceremony..

I suggest you do it in the proper order... Traditional first! It is upon the traditional every other sorts lie.

Goke7:
This is indefensible and should be condemned by all. There is nothing wrong with admitting that this is wrong with the image being sold out to the public about Obi. If we can easily condemn other candidates if they do this, Please let's all condemn this outrightly.

I know genuine guys who are supporting Obi all in the name of no shishi but with this, this is in bad light no matter how you try to explain. If the Obi campaign train continues to defend this, the opposition will latch on this to do more damage with the no shishi mantra as a mocking tool.

Nigeria politics is something else sha.
I'm not defending anyone and not a big fan of any.
These events are so far with undertone of other events.
I am not defending Obi, rather I am just being fair in reasoning.

There was a conference organised by Coca-Cola in Köln LANXESS ARENA it was to cost 1,700 Eur. I couldn't!

So also, we both know that if PO asks for public funding, it's within normal polity as in global politics.

Obi was in Frankfurt last week, about 2 hrs from me.
The fee was €20 Eur.
Some persons contacted the organisers to clarify why there is a fee payment, the response was that the cost of associated was from the event organisers and you pay to use their hall and space.
If Peter Obi was not willing to pay, that's when people will pay for admittance.

As for this one in the US, it is the organisers, just as you pay for conferences, workshops and seminars. Peter Obi is a Guest Speaker.

Of course he knows that there will be financial gains to help him in his ambition, it's a win-win for Speaker and Organiser.

Let's call Obi, Kizz Daniel, and the organiser, a show promoter. Who wants to hear Kizz Daniel sing will have to pay an entrance fee to the show promoter/organiser, from the money realised, the halls, facilities, ushers, protocols, lunch/dinner etc will be paid.
The balance goes to the organiser and Guest artiste/speaker.

It is not a LP event nor PO event... Anyways, I am apolitical but critic.

Divwake:
I obtained RAVIP card from Cotonue, can I present it as Residence Permit?

What is RAVIP?

Padme:
I'm facing similar challenge with you, the only difference is that I'm not using German embassy in naija, I have rescheduled from august to September yet I don't have SL nor blocked account, but if I could get the option someone who could block for me, I have someone might be willing to sign...irony of life

These are the FIRST things to put into consideration before investing time and hope.

It's unfortunate you have to go through this.

MDEZIE:
Hello Fam,

Does anyone have an idea how much in blocked account is required for a spouse in family reunion visa. The husband is still a student.

Same as yours... If a child is involved, additional half the amount for the kid.

Ezemeiyogu:
Please, house. If one pays some amount into block account and uses that in place of full block account confirmation documents, will the person be allowed into the visa section at least to be considered on the condition that the person completes the money in a given time? This is a rare case but I wish to know if this has ever been the case and the applicant succeeded it, especially in the recent time.

Please, someone with any idea concerning this should attempt answering

I don't know about this... But if you can get to the desk and explain satisfactorily, you can have your interview and might be given a deadline to submit the confirmation document for the BA.

Are you asking perhaps immorality should be preached in the Church?

Everyday, I am being asked why there is this and that bad news from Nigeria by non-Nigerians.
I'm tired of explaining how bad security and governance is in Nigeria.
Is Lai taking people for fools? They see these things everyday in the news!

Jayyjay:
Please I need an answer

The rule is clear...
Be resident in that country for at least 6 months with a proof of residency (not tourist visa).
Every other conditions follow.

Onyi42:
I just heard it takes a year for the embassy to get back at you, can you confirm wow

https://nigeria.diplo.de/ng-en/service/visa

Read to the end.
I am not in a position to confirm or refute.
It's said to be a window of up to over a year. It can be anywhere in-between.

Onyi42:
Guys please could you attempt to book an appointment date with your uni-assist decision, in short can I book an appointment date before admission date?

Yes. It is advisable under this situation and shows that you are proactive. Bearing in mind that in few weeks, you might be getting admitted into the university, for uniassist, it is generally shorter for some departments and universities.

Hello ,

Please help me.

I am facing similar thing in my house.
The German roaches are everywhere in my house.

How do I get rid of these tormenting vermins??

Vacuum clean your rooms and all the corners you can access.
Continue to use insecticides against them, the corners, crevices
Clean and avoid water lodged anywhere including the kitchen.
Repeatedly apply insecticides.

It's war without end...

When will you redeem this drink?

OBALOLA55:
I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE NON-FLYING ROACHES SIR

Find out about the German roaches.
They typically don't fly, stubborn and difficult to get rid of.
I will prefer the American roaches to the German 'Hitler' roaches.

Krissy01:
Hey guys I'm in my first year in Netherlands but I want to transfer schools from Netherlands to Germany has anyone done this before? I just need to ask some questions before proceeding

1. Get admission
2. Apply for a visa
3. Have the necessary requirements particularly the blocked account or certificate of obligation (so called sponsorship)
4. Prepare for interview (be ready to answer why you are leaving your current study country and course. If the course are not related or related, you should be able to defend your choice if asked).
