Celebrities / Re: Peter Okoye Pictured In A Hospital. Undergoes Full Body Scan to check his health by nevilbot: 7:28pm On Jan 15, 2016
sonnie10:


There are two reasons to remove any metal object doing scan; One is so that the anatomy is not obscured. The other reason is specific with MRI, since it is magnetic, any ferrous metal will be attracted to the magnet and will cause body injury and expensive damage to the equipment.

In this case, he is having a CT scan of the head. I know because if it was for other parts of the body, he must take off his cloths because of the zipper and buttons which will cover needed anatomy, resulting in repeating of exposure. Repeat exposure means more radiation to the patient. Google ALARA.

So, he is not suppose to take off his watch for a head CT.

Did u read d caption that says full body scan bfor wwriting all u wrote?

For MRI no. But he is doing CT. That is most likely a head CT.

Head scan or full body scan, u are not supposed to put on jewelries in any of eida ct or mri.

As a general rule, you will need to remove any metal objects from your body, such as jewellery, hair clips, etc. It is best not to wear clothes with metal zips, studs, etc.

Politics / Re: Buhari To Ojukwu’s Mother In A 1984 Cartoon by nevilbot: 10:44am On Jan 09, 2016
MyGeneration:

Ojukwu was granted amnesty back then by Shehu Shagari, he came back to Nigeria and embraced the pardon given him with open arms, only for Buhari to enter into power, he went he puta Shehu shagari who was a northerner on house arrest and sent his vice Alex Ekwueme an Igbo man to kirikiri, then he went for Ojukwu, just as Nnamdi kanu, virtually there was no clear charge against him since he was not part of the govt he was just detained in prison until the next military coup dat ousted Buhari.

i have done my research and can say yes he was arrested cus he was a politician during the era and almost all politicians were arrested by buhari on his coming to power. even northerners were not spared, all were arrested from east to west to north so it was not an anti igbo thing as u want us to believe.

secondly u want us to bliv he left him in jail until he was ousted by ibb but my google search says it was the same buhari that released him later unconditionallly as no skeleton was found in his cupboard after investigation. so a lil dose of google.com can help us all. thanks

After 13 years in exile, the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Shehu Aliyu Usman Shagari granted an official pardon to Odumegwu-Ojukwu and opened the road for a triumphant return in 1982. The people of Nnewi gave him the now very famous chieftaincy title of Ikemba (Strength of the Nation, while the entire Igbo nation took to calling him Dikedioramma ("beloved hero of the masses"wink during his living arrangement in his family home in Nnewi, Anambra. His foray into politics was disappointing to many, who wanted him to stay above the fray. The ruling party, NPN, rigged him out of the senate seat, which was purportedly lost to a relatively little known state commissioner in then Governor Jim Nwobodo's cabinet called Dr. Edwin Onwudiwe. The second Republic was truncated on 31 December 1983 by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, supported by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Brigadier Sani Abacha. The junta proceeded to arrest and to keep Ojukwu in Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison, Lagos, alongside most prominent politicians of that era. Having never been charged with any crimes, he was unconditionally released from detention on 1 October 1984, alongside 249 other politicians of that era—former Ministers Adamu Ciroma and Maitama Sule were also on that batch of released politicians. In ordering his release, the Head of State, General Buhari said inter alia: "While we will not hesitate to send those found with cases to answer before the special military tribunal, no person will be kept in detention a-day longer than necessary if investigations have not so far incriminated him." (WEST AFRICA, 8 October 1984) - source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Odumegwu_Ojukwu

so the truth did indeed set him free as he was not the only one arrested or was he charged for any offence wen he was deemed to av not committed any. if u dont av skeletons in ur cupboard, u dont av to be scared of buhari. haters beware

All these arguments abt language is just funny and unnecesarry. Someone even claimed some letters come in english and i just laffed.

I av bin in germany 1yr 2months now and i av neva recieved a letter in english not once not ever. Even frankfurt messe that is an international company and wia i dont need german to do d job cus i dont get to speak during work hours still stoped me from working cus of german. The only place d train annouces in english is frankfurt stadium, frankfurt airport, frankfurt main station and d european central bank despite frankfurt bin an international city.

Im now taking german classes a1.1 and dat level alone cost me 350€

So we should stop saying surviving without d language is easy. Even police will chance u to support dia citizen who speaks to dem in german cus dey know u dont get wat is bin said.

Before I hit the street, I had a strong feeling I should drop something here for my brothers and sisters here.
there is no new thing to add here all questions have been delt with by Gurus but I would like to stress the language issues....atleast God has helped us thus far 3 years is no joke in foreign land PLEASE specially for team winter 2016... go register for language class be it Goethe or private lessons, online lesson or self teaching is not enough to learn Deutsch....let me share a joke: A friend of mine(Nigerian) bought a soap at Penny, he's been using the soap for a long time not until we were in the same room at a conference I saw the soap in th bathroom...I first thought it was the hotel that provides the soap but I was wondering why should hotel provide two hand soaps, I then asked him who has the second soap it was for him, he was even praising the manufacturer that I could see his skin had changed, immediately I told him he had been using "handseife" not "Dusche".....in a not shell it is important to learn the language.

I would like to advise those who just entered Deutschland and for those coming in for summer semester.....I know most of your expectations were or yet to be met (the sucking of block account,the jobs......) but I have a good news for you it would still come I can assure that let your feet stand very well and understand the system ( be careful with the heater in your room for now and signing of contracts) do not listen to those bros who will be boosting of 20 years in Deutschland, you are not the same, they came in through Asylum they do not have idea of German education system....I will beg you join our facebook group (Nigerian Scholars in Germany) some great guys are there, they are willing to help you in difficulties...lastly you might face racism or stereotyping in school, class or shops, please do not jump into conclusion that "germans are racist" racism and stereotyping is everywhere even in Nigeria, for example people tell you he's an igbo, he's yoruba, hausas are illiterate.....and so on, treat racism and stereotyping as individual case....

For the team winter 2016, take your time to read threads from page 1-till the end as it would really help you, I want to prophesy into someone's life....You have been seeing good news here and you been asking God when is mine coming, the Lord that brought me here without no block account or sponsorship or scholarship, He's still alive, He would do it! Don't be depressed but press forward, hold on hope and faith....and when God has done it please do not cover the glory of God, share the good news here as it would encourage others.

Lastly I want to thank every one who has contributed in this thread, Eke40seven(took me time to decode d nam grin grin grin) hope to see you in Munchen when I come around, Oye50 I tualle sir, My friend Nevillebolt(awon ti Frankfurt, money city), Crowns2, hollaytan, Kciano...I hope to seee you in Magdeburg in January.

If anyone is considering coming to Frankfurt or its environs, I might be willing to help d best way I can.

We need Nigerian students here badly as it can get really lonely without ur people around


Also I was in a seminar like two weeks ago wia d president (vc) of d uni in fulda was in attendance and he said all those who will apply to dia MSc engineering courses will be admitted as dey av many spaces with few applicants. But d downside is DAT all dia courses are in German. So if u can speak and write in German, u myt consider the school.

Finally as for paying for uni - assist, I can be of assistance but u will av to pay more due to d bank charges involved in withdrawing in Germany with a Naija ATM card. Have a friend who still has functional Naija ATM and I myt b able to convince him to help.

Public insurance companies myt sign u up and den invite u over again after u clock 30 to increase ur monthly fee to 130€. That was wat dey did to me though myn was months after and not weeks.

If ur school allows it, go to the public insurance company, ask for a rejection letter from them on the grounds of age making them understand u can't afford the high fee u will b paying monthly after u clock 30, take the letter to ur school and get d go ahead to go private. Then u can sign up for the one I posted.

One other question i will like to ask is would you rather advice one learn the language here (at least to B1 level) or better get there and learn it through the intensive class (as provided by some courses before start of program)?



Stay blessed

i will advise u learn it in nigeria if u have the time, at least a1 level cus u will be so busy here u wont even have time to learn it, except if an intensive program is part of ur school course that av bin inserted into ur timetable. outside that, learn it in nigeria cus even durung the holidays here, u will be running after money once u see ur block act going down like a leaking fuel keg

Travel / Re: General German Visa Enquiries Part 2 by nevilbot: 4:39pm On Aug 21, 2015
Now to the main questions

1. Please, introduce yourself, course, school and city. (if applicable)

im neville (nevilbot), msc neuroscience, Johahn wolfgang goethe univeristy, frankfurt

2. How does German educational system differ from the system you were used to?

its just like u are comparing being asleep with being dead. a lot of practical and research stuffs my german classmates have done in their bsc days, i am just learning them. during our orientation wen we had to introduce ourselves and they were discussing their bsc thesis, i felt ashamed and pity for nigerian educational system. here its about research research and research. also copy and pasting is not taken lightly. it is a very serious offense that can earn u a visit to the school senate committe

3. What academic challenge(s) did you face or are you facing currently and how are/did you tackling/tackle them?

i initially had issues understanding dia manner of asking questions cus they do this funny one sentence/one word answers that im not used to especially coming from a la cram la pour background. im not ashamed to say i failed my ist exam here and had to rewrite it. but studying harder and taking time to understand dia system helped. also i spent more time reading textbooks instead of the lecture slides thinking that was the best way to go(actually fininshed a 1000page textbook cover to cover) but i still failed even though the lectures were from the textbook. so the moral lesson here is listen to ur profs during lectures, most times they already tell u wat they will ask in exams without u knowing it

3. What is your (academic) advise to prospective Nigerian student coming over to study?(summarized)

You av to be passionate abt the course u came here for to succeed in it. if u just see this msc or bsc trip as an avenue to escape from the mess in nigeria, u wont succeed academically in Germany. and plz wen u are coming over, even if u are the best graduate in ur school with a gp of 5.o, just drop ur ego and format ur brain at the airport in lagos. come here like u do not know anything bcus actually we know nothing in Nigeria (no insult intended)

4. Do your school have a size-able number of international students and what is the state of interaction like with them?

yes we do, but my social interraction with them do not go beyond lectures

5. Did you find it difficult integrating into the society and how were you able to overcome it if you had?

well i did not really find it difficult integrating cus i was the ist black guy to ever gain admission into my dept so they felt i must be very brilliant to achieve that and went out of dia way to make me comfy. as for non school environment, i was lucky enuf to meet a nigerian student married to a german on my second day in school and he has bin really helpful. then as a Jehovah's witness, no problem with integration cus we see each other as one big family and i couldnt ask for more. they av bin really wonderful

6. In your opinion, do you think a hard working Nigerian student with a particular result can maintain his/her academic performance in Germany with the same efforts? A scale will be appreciated, I know time is not the only or the best measure of hard work but For instance, A spends 6 hours of study everyday in Nigeria, GPA=4 ". ". ". ". ". ". ". in Germany GPA=?

i cant say i really understand this question but an hardworking student will succeed anywia just that u need to put more hardwork here in germany especially if u are working yle studying. its not easy to combine both. for instance i go to lab daily from 9-5 then i myt work sometyms from 6-11 and get home 12, rush to eat and sleep and wake up 6 to be able to meet the train, it takes a lot of discipline to succeed here

7. Like in any society, there are distractions or factors that reduces performance, what are the major culprits in Germany for an unenlightened
Nigerian JJC?

distractions are everywia even in nigeria and if u are the type who likes them, u will see them in abundance here like women, clubs, works (yes working yle studying can also be a distraction), also unlimited internet access and having free access to movies online, premiership free online can cus u to stumble. the key to success in germany is time management, plz master the craft of time management and u will be fine. germans also hate latecoming.

8. Most of the male or even females at one time or the other would have fantasized having a German Prince or princess, what are their chances? Do the shy Germans gals take to Nigerians? Can Ahbie, crowns or Amahtrendy, twinkle, Obiwann, Eke, Trendy, swtxt, hollaytan, Kennyoguns, get their prince/princess charming easily?

women yapa, if u want ladies, u will see. but personally oyinbos do not interest me so i do not av them as friends beyond class. they dont excite me in anyway (God av mercy on me). i see them as too bland and unsexy though they get fine ones too with all the assets. if u need them, be the outgoing type and u will soon get ursef one. clubs, bars restuarants parks any outdoor events, germans do not like staying indoors especially wen the weather is favourable

9. List 5 most important items an intending new comer should bring along to Germany.

ur international passport, Garri, Garri, Garri and Garri

10. Give 5 most important tip to surviving in Germany, jobs and all.

1. do not keep ur problems to ursef. talk to people. wateva the enormity of ur problem, talk to people and u will be surprised at how helpful germans or nigerians in germany can be
2. learn the language (im still feeling the negative impact of not speaking german till today
3. be friendly
4. do not skip on paying any of ur bills. once u default, u pay extra, germans do not joke with money and bills
5. do not av sex with a lady that has taken alcohol even if its one cup and even if the sex is consensual. wait for her to be sober especially if its the one night stand kinda lady that u met in a bar. wen she wakes up, calm and sober, she myt scream rape and its ur word against hers. prison straight

11 on a scale of 1-10 rate your city in terms of hustle and the closest best place in terms of jobs to your city
if 10 is the best then i give frankfurt 10/10 on job hustles. students come from far off kassel, marburg , giessen to work in frankfurt cus frankfurt is to germany wat lagos is to nigeria i.e the commercial capital of germany

12. Just give your opinion on these claims below by indicating with an Agree (A), Neutral (N) or Disagree (D)

a. Germans are cold : yes they can be especially if u stay in a village

b. They hate late coming: A they hate it with a passion. i once lost my job for a day cus i was 5 mins late (the rule was arrive 30mins before u are scheduled to resume, i arrived 25mins before i was supposed to resume)

c. They are racist:i disagree, except my mad nebor who is always high on cannabis, all germans i av related with have bin wonderful. I even had a trip to a village in the east of germany near chemnitz some months back. the people in this village had never seen a black man in real life before and they were totally shocked that not one but 3 black people was in theie village. They had to come ask my host questions the next day if things were ok. but they also left a comment, that unlike wat they av bin exposed to on tv, we were all smiling so me must be really nice.

D. They don't have time for chitchat: depends on the situation

E. They are introverts: in winter yes but in summer no

F. They love beer: if u give them urine in a beer bottle, they would av drank it ist before realising its not beer

thanks all

1) a lot of people av contacted me about the job link i posted some months back. some even started bothering me about it even though they are yet to be in germany. well sorry to inform you that nigerian students can no longer av access to the job. this is because u need a document called gewerbeischien (business license) for the job. the german govt in its infinite wisdom however deems it fit that non-eu students can not av dat document cus with that document, u can be self employed and run your own bizness in germany. so plz stop sending me msgs abt the job again. And to some who contacted me asking me how they will get to germany to come and work, plz i am not a travel or job agent. the only way i know that can bring u to germany is thru study. thanks

2)the second issue i will like to address is the issue of student health insurance specifically for any student that will be above 30 years on ur arrival in germany (even if u are one seconds above 30 years on ur arrival, u fall into this category). It is a known fact that students over 30 yrs cant take the public health insurance any longer so the option left is the private for which we all run to mawista bcus it has one of the cheapest premium monthly. if you are the type of student that rarely goes to a hospital and u do not av medical issues that warrants u to see doctors frequently, yes mawista is good for u. just pay ur premiums and enjoy ur life. but if you are the type that av reasons to visit hospitals frequently, or u will need a surgery or u want to feel safe about ursef, plz and plz, do not (and i repeat) do not use mawista. my reason being that mawista will never pay 100% of ur hospital bills wen it really matters. they might pay for the small small hospital checkups but wen it comes to real bills like surgery and long term hospitalization, they will pay some % based on ur contract yle u bear the rest. i know students presently who are in debts running into 3000euros cus mawista did not pay their total fees wen they had real medical issues.

the best health insurance company to sign up with if u are above 30 is the one that came out of an agreement btw the deutsche studentenwerk (German national student union) and hanse merkur. it is meant purely for international students above 30 yrs. just sign up for their optimum tariff plan wia u pay a monthly premium of 78 euros and u are 100% covered should you need any form of hospitalization or treatment. this is the link to their page. https://portal.versicherungsdienste.de/dsw-studenten-kv/index.en.html they even pay your burial/repatriation of remains cost should u die in germany up to 10,000 euros (this will not be anyone's portion though). information they say is power, plz assist ursef and do not fall into unnecessary debt yle u are still thinking on how to manage block act. mawista is a not the best public health insurance u can get as a student

any other question, i will be pleased to ansa. thanks and God bless our hustles

This ur term "Goethe student" is bogus. Do u mean students of Goethe university Frankfurt or language course students of Goethe institute, Lagos?
