Coming from someone who is moving from one student visa to another. you are damn hilarious. Why didnt you pick a job as you finished? or you want to tell me that no one in your course has moved forward in the past or present? please

You just want me to go into exchange of words with you but i wont gratify u cus i can see thru u and i think your kinda personality is obvious for all to see. Like i said, enjoy ur summer and please dont break back from your 8.5Euro per hour job oo cus if you do, u will be too stingy to afford 8 euro paracetamol to treat yourself. Bis spater

Schwartz:
If you did convert it to naira and the quality of that product is higher in naira then it is expensive. To get the actual price of a product you must convert it in exchange rate to get the true value. I have bought 4 tablets of Paracetamol for 8€ at the pharmacy. On conversion I discovered that its way more expensive. If it was in Nigeria a full card of about 20 tablets of emzor won't cost more than 50naira. The most annoying thing is that the effectiveness to cure my headache was just the same as the Paracetamol in Naija.
Stop countering my comments. You are not wiser than me. And what kind of cheap laptop are getting for 300€? Was it second hand from eBay or imported from China? And yes 300€ is a lot of money to a German because by the time you work back breaking jobs just to get 8.50€ per hour then you will know that it is a lot of money and you will be wise to spend it.
Btw I just got a gist this morning that a certain Yoruba guy who got an IT placement in Frankfurt in DB bahn had applied severally to many places with rejections for a long time and was about to end his program and even give up before he got this one placement in DB but you came here saying it as if he got it at a click of a bottom. Tell the story the way it is and stop painting it as if everything thing happens at the click of a button. A qualified electrical engineering is washing dishes after studying in this same Germany because he has applied and applied continuously for over a year after school and yet nothing. His visa time is running out and he has no option than to apply for another masters and programme. And that is the story of many people here. That I am sure. It is indeed a challenge here but yes some may get it but its not so easy. That is why I always say to people not to leave their jobs to come here because you never know.

Ist of all, you really made me laff with this your comment. I laffed so hard I didn't even know how to reply you. You are converting 8€ paracetamol and comparing it to Nigerian emzor and saying 350€ laptop is a China laptop. Baby girl plz go broaden your horizon and stop mingling with those who keep giving you negative stories abt Germany. It won't help you going forward. I'm a damn realist and anyone who knows me here know I say it the way it is. And mind you I don't shop on eBay neither do I pratonize Primark or flohmarkt. When you are in Germany think like a German and stop making euro to naira conversion before you buy things, it won't help u.

You keep talking abt people not getting jobs or intern slot while I keep seeing Nigerians who have gotten jobs here. Them no get two heads, think positive. #enuf said, enjoy ur summer

Schwartz:
Forget about buying new laptop, phones or any electronics in Germany. The prices are outrageous here. Its best you buy it in Nigeria

D prices are outrageous only if u still do the mistake of mentally converting to naira and comparing it to how much its sold in Nigeria.

If u buy gadgets in Germany with a germanized mentality, my sister dia is nothing outrageous abt d price. You can't tell me a new laptop of 300€ is outrageous to a German or a TV of 400€ is outrageous to a German or a Samsung phone of 160€ is outrageous if u av a germanized mentality. I have bought phones and a TV here and I don't c it as outrageous bcus I stopped converting to naira 2 months after my arrival.

ohakskid:
nevilbot pls how much can one buy a very good laptop over there or can u send me a website to check(english version)tnx

The cheap one I'm still thinking to buy from Otto is 350€ u can do the maths and convert go naira. But they av this package where u can pay for such items monthly BTW 6-24 months. Na that option I dey consider where I go dey pay like 15€ monthly for d next 2 yrs.

ohakskid:
Tnx, snt u a fb friend request, u jst dey feel d snow 4 ur pics. Cheers..

I no see any fb request. Maybe u sent to someone else thinking it was me

There is this Igbo proverb I learnt back in the days from reading chinua Achebe's books about a certain bird that has learnt to fly without perching bcus the hunter had learnt to shot without missing.

This proverb is now very applicable to German train tickets controllers who av now deviced new means to catch schwarzfahren. They no longer search in moving trains like before again cus peeps without tickets just come down at d nearest stops only to board another underground train.

Wat dey do now is wait at all the exist of underground tunnels and ask u for ur tickets wen u are coming out. U can't exonerate yourself that u were not on d train wen no b time travel u do. I was surprised wen I was stopped for my ticket as I was stepping out of d elevator. My argument that I am not presently in d train held no water as he insisted I must av taken d train ride to be able to use d elevator. I just jeje show am my ticket. Germany is getting more interesting daily. Do anything to be part of d fun biko but don't kill, kidnap or sell houses to raise that 2.8 m. Bis später

ohakskid:
Our people in germany, please have there been any white cops killing black man stories in germany? jst like what do happen in the uk sometimes.

I heard of one Nigerian that was chokehold to death at d Frankfurt airport like 4 yrs ago but that's just random. Police no dey even carry gun for here sef. I can count d number of times I av seen them with guns.

Police wey dey even provide escort for people protesting and causing aluta. Abeg German police no get your time. I even saw one announcing via dia car public address system that dey will arrest a driver for parking in a disabled spot last week.

okezie007:
Can you tell us about how intership works over there?

There is no special how internship works. Almost all companies take interns if you apply wen dey advertise. So all u do is register on job portals and get job adverts in ur mail. When u see one that suits ur course, u apply and go for the interview like any normal job interview and if u are picked congrats.

A Nigerian student from Munich was in Frankfurt for an interview with Deutsche bahn for a 6 months internship last month and after d interview he got d job. He will be starting in October. They even paid his train tickets to and from Munich for him to come. So no biggie abt internship. Once u see a company advert that suits ur field, apply. Lobathan

For the back and forth discussions on the number of jobs or hours u can do legally as a student, what I know on good authority is that you can do 2 legally registered jobs at once as a student without any issues with anybody. The catch dia is that for one of the jobs, your tax class is moved to tax class 6 and u pay more tax for it while on d other one, u retain your student tax class 1 and pay normal tax for it.

For this scenario, no law is broken and no office will invite you to come tell any story provided your studies will not suffer and you can manage your time. But managing your time with two jobs and study is wat I can't explain how one can pull that off except if you take a break from school which is also not illegal.

honourableseyi:
Thanks baba for gracing my day the other day. How is your side?

I loyal my boss

detutu1:
Nice writeup. Care to share the method? would be helpful. Thanks.

Nope, I can't share it publicly here as its a system prone to abuse but if you need it and you are already in Germany and already with a resident permit, then contact me and I will gladly share with u privately as those are the two main criteria to qualify. If you are not yet in Germany, don't bother asking . thanks for your understanding

maestrojay:
Goodmornin my people, abeg anibody get idea of Resident permit of SIEGEN or MANNHEIM.. 1year or 2years.. help me make a choice.. thanks..

Siegen is in NRW
Mannheim is in B-W.. thanks

Mannheim is two years. A Nigerian lady dia got two years. We were still together last week. But as I said earlier even if d law says 2 years, d final decision is still left to d mood and caprices of d fellow u meet on sit d day u go dia. Dey interpret d law as dey like cus d law gives them d power to.

As for siegen, no idea

I know a lot of people still coming here are scared that how will I raise another 8k if I get a year or less. Well like I usually say don't kill ursef thinking over a problem that has not arrived. Get d one dey give u and b happy with it. Wen time for renewal comes, u will cross the bridge wen u get dia. I got 8 months and I'm still in Germany one and a half years later and by God's grace I will still be here till 2020. The more longer u stay in d system, d more u know how things work. As things stand, I now know a method anyone can use to raise up to 5k euros without hassles within 6 months that can contribute towards ur renewal. So calm down and come to Germany. Even if u got 6 months, throw a party cus u are still better than many in naija

Eke40seven:
it's not be all the cities in Hessen that gives two years.
CC: Nevilbot, Junipero, Naijaobi

I already don reply d guy. I yaff tayad for guys stating personal info as general statement of facts on this page. People should learn to personalize dia experiences so that newcomers can create candid opinions from it and not d case someone will see such and think its d norm only to get to Germany and be battered by reality. I rest my case

ogagaejay:
Residence permit in Hessen is two years. Marburg is a beautiful city. You can find jobs anywhere you just have to search, speaking Deutsch makes it easier. I hope this helps.

False!!! Resident permit is not 2 years in all hessen sir. It depends on your city and who you meet on seat the day you go and his/her mood wen u meet him. I also live in the state of hessen and I got 8 months on arrival. My classmate from India got 1.5 yrs in Frankfurt after he already got 1 yr from another person but had to go back to submit a missing document and new fellow he met decided to dash him extra 6 months cus he was in a happy mood.

Plz on the no of years one get, we should stop generalizing it and giving such info as facts. If everyone in Marburg gets two years, say Marburg and don't write for d whole state of hessen. One might school in Marburg but live outside Marburg and might cus of that fall outside d Marburg district and fall in a district Wia he gets less.

priceaction:
This is serious.God really love this country no matter our divisions and diversities. We are less violent nation. This people, I mean so called elites are the most wicked sets of people in the world. The same set of people will loot government money,public funds, borrow from banks without collateral until they wreck the banks. They borrow money and take it abroad to live an extravagant life with their families. They are tax evaders, and all their kids and children have tripple citizenships in first grade countries around the world. They are wicked and doesn't care about common man. How can you wreck banks here and you, have banks esterblished in other African countries. Just Google energy banks owned by jimoh Ibrahim in princepe and Sao tome and other African countries. While he wrecked the one here and carried the money to operate another in neighboring countries. Wicked souls. Just look at societe general bank, trade banks and so on. Many pensioners ,including both desd and living of the people crying winch hunts lost money to these people indirectly because of these banks. Mumu people.

And we acted as nothing happened and cry winch hunts.
That is why we must support any form of recovery of looted funds either witch-hunt or wizard hunts. If we loose it now, it is just a matter of time they will turn Nigeria to Zimbabwe. The next thing they will do then is to take the next available flight to USA to meet their families and follow what is happening in Nigeria on cnn, leaving common man to struggle until death.
The banks that suppose to support small scale businesses to boost economy prefare to sponsor elections illegally. By the time you really see how these people do tax payers and investors money you will ask questions how are we surviving in this country? This country, if managed well suppose to be one ,if not the most prosperous black nation and one of the best in the world and here we are, shouting winch hunt. We need fresh orientation in this country . This people are not our friends but enemies.Nigeria will be great again.

I never knew we still have Nigerian youths with good sense like yours. May God continue to increase your wisdom a thousand fold. Jimoh Ibrahim is from my state but I av known him for so long as a monumental fraudster. All companies he got on a platter of gold he ran aground with tax payers money from nicon insurance, Hilton hotel, African petroleum which he changed to energy oil, news watch magazine to virgin Nigeria. Imagine how many people these companies will employ and feed if fully functional.

The staffs and pensioners of these companies are still being owed months of salary and yet jimoh keeps leaving large. A friend of mine here in a European country had to run here for her MSC after jimoh ran aground virgin Nigeria and she became jobless with backlog of salaries owed. Can u imagine how many of such people still on d streets looking for wat to eat?

Ben Bruce nearly ran union bank aground and if not for amcon, that bank would av gone under and many of our parents who are d ones banking with union would av died of high bp. Wen kpmg audited union in 2014 at d request of amcon, dey were shocked at the near death state dey found union but couldnt make a move on bruce then cus he was a friend of d fedora man and some people will still come here to shout witch and wizard hunting not knowing dey are d ones who will suffer it.

And the funny thing is gej was giving jimoh Ibrahim who ran 5 companies agroundvaward for entrepreneurship. Only God saved us from that fedora hat wearing guy cus Nigeria would av bin worse than Venezuela by now.

I just wish d witch and wizard hunting crew can receive sense

[quote author=zeusaqua post=46727653]I m surprised NEVILBOT can make this statement.. My question is since u left for Gem, how come u have not returned to Nigeria ur dream country. In de first place while did u travel to do ur MSC in Gem?.
U just one person I see dat can't give someone a help in NL on Gem move rader talking negative n discouraging people.


quote author=nevilbot post=46723901]

My guy, u dont know me and u are writing a statement as fact abt me as if uve met me before. Those who have asked for me help from here have gotten it in abundance so wat u don't know don't say. My stand on his issue was his decision to start selling properties to finance the German trip. No matter how u look at it, I am never in support of anyone selling properties on a hope that u will start earning as soon as u arrive and as much as u want it.
Those who av crossed my path from here know me better than the assumption u presented here as fact even wen u and I av not had a single interaction.

Conclusively, coming to Germany is anyone's personal decision, so my view might not sound sensible to u but u are also not privy to my exposures. Take the risk, sell anything sellable. In the long run its still u and your decision. Bis bald.

lobito007:
And is he going to do these all his life? What of the opportunities the education acquired will open to him? I think this is about making short-term sacrifices for long-term gains. I am in a similar situation, in fact, I earn substantially more than what this guy does. I drive an SUV too. Generally, I would say I am doing fine. In spite of all these, I will be quitting my job to study in a world-class university in this same Germany. Not an easy decision to make. In fact, I keep thinking of deferring till next year or even cancelling it and just do my MSc here in naija. But then, I ask myself, 'after the programme abroad, will I be better off ?' I always answer in the affirmative. Average take-home salary of an MSc holder in Germany is €2500. At an exchange rate of 400 Naira to 1€, that's N1m. Except you work for an oil company, you will have to be a manager with 15+ years of experience to earn that much here. More so, with your German MSc, plus, say 3 years of work experience in a German firm, do you know what you can command in monthly salary here in Nigeria. If you never leave your comfort zone, then you will never know how many opportunities are out there waiting to be grabbed. One only needs to take that bold step. You may be doing well now, but ask yourself, 'can I do better than this?' if your answer is 'yes', then go for it.

Yes graduates get 2500€ but do u know how much will be left for to spend at d end of the month out of that amount u mentioned? After all the taxes av bin removed, u will get around 1600€ in ur acct then from that 1600 u begin to pay monthly bills that most not default. Imagine u pay 700€ for 2 bedroom flat out of it then pay 150 for utilities and internet, plz how much is left for u to feed and flex? Before u can save to buy that SUV u want to sell.

Well I'm not discouraging anyone. Its a risk worth taking if u believe in your dream. Its even better to finish d MSC and come back to naija with it for a better paying job. Just telling that don't expect 2500€ monthly like u read on websites. Owo Germany , Germany loun GBE in lagbaja's voice.

I am currently faced with a similar challenge. I recently got a job and my monthly salary is roughly 90k, I also have a commercial bus 'danfo' in Nigerian local parlance, which also is another source of income for me. I got admitted for a Master program in Germany and I am considering resigning my job, using all my savings, getting small loan(500k) and selling the bus to make up funds for the blocked account. I just hope and pray it would be a wise decision on the long run. Things are not easy here in Nigeria, but somehow, guys still dey rough am. Make our case no go be from frying pan to fire o...veterans in the house, na God I take beg una, kindly help throw more light on this matter...vielen dank!

If u want my honest advice, I will say this is a very wrong move. You want to leave certainty for uncertainty. Do u think you will be able to save 90k monthly if u get here as a student? What 90k will do for u in Nigeria, d euro equivalent will not do it. Plus u still av a danfo giving u upkeep money and u want to throw it all away cus u think Germany is paradise Wia money is easy and job is yanfuyanfu. My guy don't follow that path of leaving ur 90k job selling ur other source of income and still going into debts to come to Germany biko. I don't think its worth it

Person wey get house wan sell house to come this germo Wia we dey so? Chai, if I av a house in Nigeria , I won't think of coming to Germany in d ist place. For u now thinking of selling it to come Germany is the most ridiculous desperate measure I av heard in a long time.

People in Nigeria have different perspective of wat really happens in Europe thinking life is all rosy and juicy. Even taking the risk to pass thru Libya. Na until dem reach here them dey know what's up.

Bros landlord, I use everything dear to u to beg u biko no even think of using d house as collateral not to talk of selling it to come to Germany as a student OK biko. We no wan read news say one Nigerian student jump in front of moving ice train ooo. If u av done sumtin that built u a house in Nigeria, walahi u do not need to travel out to anywhere again. What u need right now is sustanance and contentment. My 50 kobo advice

The prayer went thus: “We call on Michael the arch angel, Uriel the archangel, Gabriel the archangel to carry you in their wings back to life. They angels are bringing you back in their wings."

The prayer this man called mbaka just prayed above have made me cement my conclusion that this man is just a noise maker and diabolic who does not even know the bible he is preaching from. In the whole bible , only two angels were named: Michael and Gabriel and only one out of them which is Michael was described as an archangel which means leader of all the angels. How will angels have two leaders? Is it pdp chairmanship?

No where in the bible and I repeat no where in the bible was Uriel named as an angel not to talk of being an archangel. The name Uriel only appears 4 times in d whole bible in 1 chronicles 6:24 , 15 vs 5, 15 vs 11 and 2 chronicles 13 vs 2 and in all these cases they were name of peoples not angels.

I just pity the congregation he is deceiving with God's name for political gains

How much is it

Earth2Metahuman:
90's cars are 2

2000 cars 3

Plus, I said most cars.

Which 90s car plz. Is it Peugeot or Benz that are even wider than present day cars that are designed for 2? Maybe u need to go check those 90s cars again. U will be in for a pleasant surprise. The only car that was designed for 2 at d back in d 90s was the Volkswagen beetle. All others are designed for 3 except the wagons Wia d middle seat is for 2

GoldenJAT:
no idea!! right from when I was a kid...u rarely c those at d back seat using seat belt...seems more like a natural occurrence.

Abnormal things usually look natural in Nigeria. How many naija drivers even know traffic rules. In a country Wia u can get a drivers license even before u can differentiate BTW a hand break and a gear.

Earth2Metahuman:
Only two 2 people are allowed to sit at the back ..
At least that's how most cars are built
But in Nigeria, especially Nigerian taxis 5 people sits at the back, some go even lap themselves... How do you expect them to use sit belt?

Not 2, its 3. If u look at the back seats very well dia are seat belts for 3 occupants . the one in d middle is designed like a plane seat belt that crosses the waist and not the chest like the others. Every car has it. Most in Nigeria av bin removed and used as towing rope

thesicilian:
I guess its because the front passenger or driver is more at risk of death or severe injury in the case of an accident. If you're at the back you've got the seats in front of you (which are usually cushioned) to stop you from serious harm, but the front occupants can end up flying out of the vehicle if seat belts are not worn.
Its the same reason many cars have only front airbags.

I beg to disagree with you as in totally. Last year December, an African football player in Germany was flung out of the back seat of a car during a collision and he died instantly cus he was not using his belt while his two friends in d front survived. Was the seats not dia to stop him if your theory is right?

In advanced countries, all occupants either u sit in front or back must use dia seat beats. Even the cars will continue to peep in a very annoying way if those at the back refuse to comply. And ur license can be revoked as a driver if a back seater in your car is caught beltless after u are fined like 100€. Even kids below 10 av a special seat u buy separately that u put on d seat in the back. Dey seat on this and not on d car seat directly before u belt them in.

Just that in Nigeria, our law enforcers do not even know the right thing not to talk of enforcing it. Nigeria is just so messed up

Oga, Konji don destroy your brain for that side.
You no see me mention MIT? I used an example he can relate with. Universities of Technologies and TUs here based on names are EQUIVALENT in terms of purpose, whether California Institute of Technology (CALTECH) or FUTMINNA, I didn't say one was better than the other or up to the quality of the other.
It's an insult to say universities and TUs are 'allowed' to do PhD, Bros, that's one of their main purpose


Who told you TUs here don't also create irrelevant courses?
Even in TUM, not all courses you see are relevant, some courses were shut down after running for 5 years! I know of a department in my campus that lost 20 students (mostly Europeans) after a semester because they all thought the course was 'purposeless'.
I know its tough, your akamu have turned iced frogs, but calm down, read and deduce well because reaching conclusions.

E be like say bomb dey ur head. Who says I no see MIT dia. But y put tech unis from Nigeria in the same sentence with MIT and tum. That is an insultive insult to the education system in Germany and USA. And I used the word allowed because its back by written law in a constitution sumwia. Many German uni of applied sciences too would love to do PhD if the law allows them. Like the one in Bonn even have a PhD partnership program with another uni despite the restriction.

As for my akamu freezing, u av not heard the last of it. Just wait till I come Munich for august come break ur head

Over to you...


Your technical uni is just like the MITs or in the context of Nigeria Federal or State University of Technologies like FUTO and FUTA.

If I talk now, u go dey claim prophet. If not that u are drunk on pxxxni juice, how will u be comparing technical universities in Germany to uni of technologies in Nigeria. Do the ones in naija even av clear cut purpose or objectives apart from admitting students in large no and making money, creating irrelevant courses and teaching theories with lil practicals.

Well based on my research, universities and technical unis in Germany av similar research oriented goals and Dats y dey are d only one allowed by law to offer PhD. Uni of applied sciences do not offer PhD courses cus dia motive is to train practically in an industry related format.

Cindino20:
Why nt complete the masters and then switch..or take out one semester for internship in a coy...or do your master thesis in a research institute or a coy...

You re right the universities in Germany re research oriented.....because BMBF and most research fundin organisations will only fund groups researchin on projected problems (problems that will occur 20yrs from now) which is logical as it makes no sense to repeat a research if I understand correctly and also as a science student u did prolly stop at phd level (ca.80% of german chemists ve phd) and then if u wanna go to the industry u can switch...even in the industry u become a research scientist optimising exisiting processes while they employ technicians to run the plants..

Research institutes and coys re usually more of applied stuff( findin solns to localized problems) .....you can check fraunhofer..max plank and helmholtz..

And like most countries the research done in Germany is to address the societal needs...take for example..research groups workin on renewable energies re well funded as Germany is tryin to move towards renewables and become self reliant ...such groups re nt well funded in countries like canada cos canada has oil..

All d best man.

You deduce I won't finish this one ist or you assumed? Anyways I'm finishing it ist .I only used the word switched cus I'm changing from neuroscience to biomedical sciences. Not that I'm abandoning one for another. Thanks though

obailala:
...and you are obviously not aware of the fact that the project was handed over to UMY/GEJ by OBJ?

Wake up from your slumber bro and quit these childish "it is GEJ's idea" rants; GEJ is long gone and is no longer the president. What matters is not who 'thinks' about a project, it is he who executes it that matters. By the way, Abacha thought about introducing GSM technology to Nigeria and even made moves in that regard. But do you think it would be sensible to claim that GSM was introduced into Nigeria by Abacha?

Just for your info, the Nigerian rail modernisation masterplan has been in existence even before GEJ ever thought of joining PDP. The masterplan was eventually agreed and drawn under OBJ and Julius Berger was awarded a contract in OBJs first tenure to build the first Nigerian standard gauge rail (Warri to Ajaokuta), a project which was completed to 99% before OBJ left office. Furthermore, contracts were also signed by OBJ with the Chinese (CCECC) for the building of the Kaduna to Abuja and Lagos to Kano standard gauge rail lines just before OBJ handed over to UMY; these contracts were cancelled by UMY due to irregularities but GEJ came in and re-awarded the Abuja to Kaduna line which was built to 99% completion before he handed over to PMB.

I wonder where you got your own "it is GEJ's idea from," just like most other achievements by GEJ which were purely completion of projects initiatives by his predecessor, governance is all about continuity and what matters most is who executes and not who 'thinks' about an idea. Next time you should do well to do your homework before going public.

Guy, the kind blessing wey God wan dash u for this epic response, Him still dey cook am in a bountiful way. Thank u for giving this very sensible response to those "its gej's idea" idiots. Very soon hypertension over gej's defeat that dey can't get over will kill them. Navy commissioned sumtin yesterday, one idiot said its gej idea but they refuse to accept that the economic downturn of today is due to gej's incompetence.

I think technical unis are closer to the applied unis in terms of purpose but I can't be too sure cus I av not bin dia.

Neyoalao:
Oga nevilbot wassup any special reason for going for second MSC after ur neuroscience one? So that we sef fit learn ni oh

MSC neuroscience is a research based masters with no link to clinical work experience like I tot before coming. All they train u for is lab research both useful and useless ones and upon graduation, dey expect u to toe the PhD, post doc line and become a prof jumping from one research to another and writing/publishing papers. Most of the research I must also say av no link to a developing country like Nigeria. The results won't be of benefit to me or my country for now. This is not a carrier path I envisage for myself. I don't want to end up as a lab rat white haired prof in one German institute.

Basically universities in Germany are research oriented especially in d medical sciences while uni of applied sciences are d one structured to prepare u for d work environment but many of us do not know that before coming over. So since I want a carrier outside academia for myself, I'm switching to a uni of applied sciences to get the needed training for clinical practice.

Wait o, LAGOS to IBADAN as how. Are they planning to Renovate the existing track or construct another one? Cos i travel by train a lot and the line is from KANO to IBADAN, the same line goes from IBADAN to ABEOKUTA to LAGOS.

Probably that would be for UP TRAIN , LAGOS - IBADAN - KANO. But serious it won't make any difference, train time would still remain.

What Lagos to kano or other rail tracks in nigeria have is single gauge meaning its a single track and trains can't travel in both directions simultaneously. The train from Lagos will need to ist get to kano before anoda train can come from kano to Lagos else dey collide halfway.

Wat dey are going to build now is d double standard gauge that allows train travel in both directions at the same time like u av in advanced countries. Like this
