Hustler vs dynasty
In a country fond of political metaphors, Mr Ruto's stunning victory is akin to his party's modest symbol, the wheelbarrow, running a seven-tonne tractor off the road. Mr Odinga had the backing of the state machinery. Several opinion polls, which Mr Ruto had dismissed as fake, predicted his rival would win.

As the deputy president for the last 10 years he was, by default, an establishment candidate but he ran as an outsider, framing the election as between "hustlers" - poor Kenyans - and "dynasties" - influential families like the Kenyattas and Odingas who have been big players in the country's politics since independence.

"I may be the son of a nobody but I promise to make Kenya the country of everybody," he said in his pitch to voters.

His political stock rose when he opposed an unpopular and costly year-long push by Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga to change the constitution at a time many Kenyans were suffering, including losing jobs, following the protracted impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Supreme Court eventually ruled the move unconstitutional, buoying Mr Ruto's campaign.

He also framed the election as a time for generational change, selling his message using pithy and relatable slogans, which lent him credibility and appeal across several communities.

Mr Ruto's win is rightly the focus of Kenya's 2022 election, but equal attention should be given to the electoral commission which came into this poll with a terrible track record, but its decision to post results from the more than 46,000 polling stations on its website - accessible to anyone who wanted to do their own tally - allowed the media and the public to be part of the process.

The leaders of Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Somalia have congratulated Mr Ruto.

Analysts believe that Mr Odinga is likely to challenge the result.

The Kenyan Supreme Court annulled the last election - it might have to make another big decision in a few weeks.

Deputy President William Ruto has been declared the winner of Kenya's presidential election amid dramatic scenes.

He narrowly beat his rival, Raila Odinga, taking 50.5% of the vote, according to the official results.

The announcement was delayed amid scuffles and allegations of vote-rigging by Mr Odinga's campaign.

Four of the seven members of the electoral commission refused to endorse the result, saying it was "opaque".

"We cannot take ownership of the result that is going to be announced because of the opaque nature of this last phase of the general election," said Juliana Cherera, the vice-chairperson of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Mr Odinga's party agent earlier alleged that there were "irregularities" and "mismanagement" in the election.

This was the first time Mr Ruto, 55, had run for president. He has served as deputy president for 10 years, but fell out with President Uhuru Kenyatta, who backed Mr Odinga to succeed him.

The 77-year-old former prime minister, who got 48.8% of the vote, was running for president for the fifth time.

Electoral commission chairman Wafula Chebukati said he had done his duty despite receiving threats.

"We have walked the journey of ensuring that Kenyans get a free, fair and credible election. It has not been an easy journey - right now two of my commissioners and the CEO are injured," he said.

In his speech, President-elect Ruto thanked the electoral commission for overseeing the election.

"It is a wonderful evening… all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya," Mr Ruto said, calling Mr Chebukati a "hero" and dismissing the other commissioners' dissent of his win as "a side show".

Mr Ruto said he wanted to be a president of all, and for the country to focus on the future.

"To those who have done many things against us, I want to tell them there's nothing to fear. There will be no vengeance. We do not have the luxury to look back," he added.

Celebrations have broken out in several parts of the country, including in Mr Ruto's strongholds of the Rift Valley, and that of his deputy Rigathi Gachagua, in the Central region.

Supporters of Mr Odinga have staged protests in the western city of Kisumu and some parts of Nairobi.

But generally there's a sense of relief that the result has finally been declared because the country had ground into a halt since election day on 9 August, economic activities had stalled and schools remain closed.

Kenya's history of disputed elections in the past have led to violence or the whole process election being cancelled.

Following the 2007 vote, at least 1,200 people were killed and 600,000 fled their homes following claims of a stolen election.

I want to be sure if they is a master's program for my course of study or anything similar to it...in which am eligible to apply for ? ...
for me to be able to study & work in Germany...
perhaps get a full time job there also after school

since you are more interested in studies below is a link for the group in nairaland for student visa they are already in part 6

https://www.nairaland.com/5042902/general-german-student-visa-enquiries

you can check DAAD website for masters course in your field and after your masters you can work in germany

ademeedee:


Hopefully something pops up soonest! What's your discipline? I am skeptical because my discipline is in the non-teaching aspect of education. I have been learning German for a while but still on the basics. Do you think I stand a chance? @togobingi I would like your honest opinion too.

Yea i am hoping to see that email.
pharmacy is my field.
yea you can get, there are lecturing jobs ( i have seen that in during one of my search it was for anyone who could speak English but can't remember the site) there are also teaching jobs in international schools.

Try and make a lot of research on your field to ascertain the areas you are eligible to apply but i am sure you will find.

Learning the language is good even if it isn't required please learn it.

togobingi:


I would say you should still book the appointment anyway. It might be shorter, who knows

I was told that I would hear back from them in within 4-8 weeks but I heard back from them in a week, so you never know. If you are in Lagos, I would also recommend asking the protocol officers outside the German Consulate for guidance. Nothing to lose at this point.

All the best!

Thanks!!
I have booked the appointment. The stated one shouldn't contact them in the email confirmation ( clear warning like don't disturb us).
I stay in abuja.
well it's time to face other things till it comes cos from my experience anything with Germany one has to be patient

togobingi:
This is crazy!

Yea it is, what do you think i should do in this case?

ademeedee:
This is a long veeeeeerrrry long wait!!! Have you tried ringing the embassy to enquire? I follow a blog which has Indian citizens apply for it in their country and I know booking appointment is almost impossible but not this long!

Yea this is very long, i haven't called the embassy, in India it is also difficult in getting appointment depending on your region, i was to get it there but felt i should come home and relax with family and do it with ease only to get to nigeria and see that waiting period.
I don't know what to do in this case

please fam can someone explain the waiting period, that is too much 14 to 16 months, please help me out.

Is anyone here experiencing same thing?

Has anyone been able to get interview date after the change in booking system?

ademeedee:

Okay, thank you. Have you been able to get an appointment yet?

You are welcome, No appointment yet and i don't know if anyone has gotten.

ademeedee:
Thank you so much for replying. What is the process like? So I know what to expect when I start.

it is simple, just get all the required documents which were all listed in page one of this topic that's it for now

ademeedee:


Okay, thank you for your prompt response. Do you know if it would be possible to transfer to a study visa or self employed in case if no job shows up?

Besides from what I read you can't work on this visa, is it true until you get the work permit.

I am also curious if there is minimum wage on how much to earn before the work permit can be given. Do know if this is similar to UK tier 2 visa where sponsorship is needed or once a job is gotten then you can apply for the work permit by yourself.

Just trying to be weigh my options before I invest in it. �

from what i know you cannot convert this visa to student visa or self employed visa, you can only convert it to work visa. But after you have settled with the work visa you can enroll for higher studies.

Yes you can't work on this visa until it is converted to work visa.

Yes in all of Germany their is minimum wage and it applies to every sector definitely you will get not less than the minimum wage and you will get the work permit or blue card.

for the UK tier 2 visa i don't know about that.

umarabubakar303:
Good Day Everyone,i am an ND holder in computer science I intend to move to Germany in search of greener pastures, I intend to study and work mean while will I be offer a job. I studied computer science?? Please I need a guide I have someone I can stay with over there,So are there jobs there for Nigerians?

yes you can study and work, but that will be limited hours for students.

And you made mention of having someone in Germany i believe the person will be the best person to guide you and answer most of your questions so please try and have good communication with him/her.

ademeedee:


Hi, I am thinking of applying for this category of visa. I don't know if you know by any chance if one doesn't get a job can someone apply for a study or another visa?

In this visa category it is 6months visa and within this period you are to search for job in Germany and once you secure a job you go to the immigration office in the city and covert your visa to work permit or blue card.

if you don't find a job within the 6months you will have to return to Nigeria, so u need to make adequate plans, but atleast one can find something doing even if it isn't that big then gradually you move up.

jesse2019:


@togobingi please how long does it take before your interview date was confirmed from when you book the Appointment, have book appointment since 27th of February till now no feedback from the German Foreign Office.

hey bro!!
Have you been able to get your visa interview date?
I am having some challenges on that.

togobingi:

No worries. Don't know about the sponsorship letter, unfortunately.

Thank you, i just got my ZAB certificate
btw what do you think about the 3k euros?
please do you mind sharing to us how you finally got that dream job?

togobingi:


Booking an appointment was hard for me. You have to check every day and book as soon as you see an available slot. Some of the guys outside the consulate may be able to help.

As soon as you book an appointment, get all your documents ready before the day. I booked an appointement 2 months in advance.

After I had the interview and submitted my documents on the same day, it took them 5 days to get back to me. They asked me to get another medical insurance because AIICO wasn't accepted (then I went to Fintiba). After that, it took another 5 days to get my passport back.

You need to have the complete amount in your blocked account before the appointment date if not they won't approve your visa. That is your proof that you will have enough to survive while you are in Germany.

Thank you so much you have enlightened me so much and you have taken away all my worries and fears, i am blessed to come across such a tread.

why i was talking about the installment was that i have 3k euros and wanted to request for four months which will be 2880 instead of six months in case if i don't get it complete or i deposit the rest later.

but is there a way one can get „Verpflichtungserklärung“ (sponsorship letter) you can put me through?

togobingi:


A blocked account is mandatory. This company (https://fintiba.com/) helps with some of the processes for the Job Seeker Visa application (eg: Blocked account opening and confirmation, Medical Insurance etc). It is a German company and not Nigerian so don't fear scammers lol. It is also approved and recognized by the German Consulate.

You pay the blocked account amount to them and they give you a confirmation letter that you can attach to your application. You can also pay for medical insurance on their site (The German consulate did not recognize AIICO Insurance which I submitted first, but accepted the medical insurance- Mawista- which you can find on the Fintiba site).

https://fintiba.com/

Thank you for the response i appreciate,

please i will like to know how long did it take you from the time you submitted all documents and then u got appointment, to interview and then your visa was granted?

And for the fintiba blocked account can i deposit in it in 2 to 3 instalments?

can i use the email confirmation of the opened block account to book appointment?

thanks

To add to this,I was at Abuja German Embassy to certify my documents yesterday...


When I asked the fair lady that attended to me,she said if the address in your AL is Abuja or any of the northern states,then you should write to Lagos consulate office with attachment of your AL and also stating you want your interview at the Abuja German Embassy,then a date will be given to you for Abuja venue...


Las las we will ALL make it!!!
This journey no easy at ALL but with GOD,it will surely end in praise!!!!

please i stay in abuja does it mean we can now book appointment at the embassy in abuja instead of going to the consulate in lagos
