Most of the accusations are very true. I served in IMO state Owerri last year nysc and know dat Rocha's is one of d greatest scam gov in Nigeria. If APC had picked him for dia president, I would never have supported him.

Can u imagine him lying everyday on TV stations dat he was paying corp members 10k monthly wen we never received anything and d stat coord kept begging him to pay. He is a very dubious con artist who likes playing to d galleey

So at her age and despite all the noise she makes on social media, she still lives in her fathers house? shame on her if I'm right

I think a lot of guys here misunderstood my response to the guy who has d admission to Canada but less money and I need to set d records straight.

Ist of, I av Neva had reasons to regret my coming to germany. Being in Germany at this time is d best thing to av Eva happen to me and my family. I am having d best time of my life here and despite d obstacles and challenges dat come with being in Germany, it could av bin worse cus I could av being another unemployed graduate on d streets of Lagos moving around with my CV.

That been said, I see coming to Germany as a great stepping stone for me and others that are here and not a bus stop cus many things are involved. My advice to d guy was based on two factors

1 leaving certainty for uncertainty
2 the language discrimination issue we Nigerian students face here before we can integratete

If he already has a German and Canadian admission, I will tell him to come to Germany but y should he leave something half sure for one not sure.

As regards my comment to flog him if I see him in Germany, I was only trying to crack a joke and lighten things up around here cus this room is getting too tense of late due to our ogas stepping on each others toes. Love u all

Pls brothers and sista in germany .I have read comments from Part1 till date and I also read traveling to canada thread.i need advise .Please gurus in germany should advise.
1.i hv gotten admission in canada and u hv latest 30th of this month to pay tuition fee for ist semester.i can pay for the tuiton fee but i dnt hv much funds for the rest of my fees and accommodation when u get dia.
2.i am yet to get admission in germany.
My question is dis .since i dnt hv money to finish my 2 years programe in canada but i can afford the germany since its tuition free.i heard a lot about no jobs abd racism in germany.i dnt know if I should beta use the money and apply to germany or just apply to canada so Dat when i get dia.i will sort myself out since there are plenty jobs in canada.please people in germany from ur experience.whts the best bet?

A bird in hand is worth millions on d tree. How are u sure u will secure the German admission. Canada is d way to go my guy cus dia admission in d ist place no b beans and since u av it, y throw it away for something not certain.

Second is the fact that integration is faster in Canada Dan in Germany cus of the language issue and also d fact that u won't need to learn any language before u can get or hold down a job unlike in Germany.

My guy use d money with u and ppay ur Canada tuition, wen u get dia, u will survive cus many Nigerians dia too survive. Even many of us in Germany already dey eye how to enter Canada .

If I see u in Germany and I recognise u, na beating I go give u oo

Thanks.which school are you and what course are you pursuing.Do u know anybody at LMU

Goethe university Frankfurt, MSc neuroscience. No

Taiw:

please what about toefl and how much is an international passport in lagos

My guy stop behaving like someone wey no go school, how do u intend to do any international exam without an international passport. So how do u want dem to identify ur identity, via ur inec PVC or bank ATM card? Name d exam from GRE to TOEFL to ielts to GMAT, no passport, no exam its as simple as ABC.

I don't work with immigration so I don't know price of passport anywhere. Plz don't ask this question again, its frustrating as a graduate

My cousin is in berlin so I will be staying alone.wouldnt kindergarten help?Heard their time is 7 to 5pm.Thanks

My sis, I will truthfully advice u not to bring one kid not to talk of two kids for an MSc program in Germany on a sponsorship letter biko. Even if u use a block act, d 8040 will not b enuf for u and one kid not to talk of two and since u are using a sponsor, do u think ur broda will b sending u money monthly for upkeep? My knowledge of German sponsors who give letter is dat wen u land, dey simply forget abt u saying dey av done dia part to get u here. Do u think u can school work and takia of two kids as a student in Germany? My honest answer is a capital noooo. Mind u, no one will babysit for u in Germany oo, u might not even see ur next door Nebor for weeks.

I will strongly advice u to drop ur kids with ur mum as I even doubt if d embassy will give d 3 of u visa on a student sponsorship letter once dey see d income and responsibilities of ur sponsor and even if dey reluctantly do, my sis it is a risk not worth taking.

Taiw:
Hi guys...Help needed
To wirte either ielts or toefl, do i need to get an international passport? I am thinking of writing it this year. How much are are the exams?
I only have money for the exams write now and not for the passport
your response is highly apreciated

Without an international passport, it is simple 100% impossible for u to write ielts as ur passport no will be ur exam and I.d no. Ielts is around 38k for now but without a passport, u can't even register online, so go and get ur passport ist of all as that is d ist step in travelling out. Even some school u apply to will ask for ur passport no and I.d page

I actually checked the school site out of curiosity and they really av d prog this guy was admitted for and they also offer the scholarship he got. But the site was silent abt paying a reg fee ist before u can claim d scholarship. They only stated that the scholarship will be given to any foreign applicant who qualifies.

Ocoraj:
Weldone to everyone here...pls concrrning the IELTS exam am seeing it has two versions academic and general trainin...just want to confirm from those that wrote which they applied for...mostly the msc people.tanx and God bless

It has two versions and as a student who intend to go for an academic pursuit u should apply for the academic version, that's just common sense. No offence intended!!

My guy, I really appreciate ur courage but wat is it is wat it is, a scholarship is not suppose to give u stress cus once its a scholarship it simply means all expenses paid. There are even some that will pay ur flight ticket to and fro so this one to me is still a scam.

Abeg bone am and apply to other places, with ur grade u will get one dat won't give u this mental stress. There us this rule I have heard and used many times for scholarships ; once u are asked to pay to get it, then its not a scholarship, its a scam. I av fell for one before even though na 10k I pay. I am presently in Germany so I know wat I'm saying. A scholarship should and I insist should not even ask for a reg fee. Reason it, y will a SCH giving sch giving u free tuition still ask u to pay a reg fee. Which one many pass BTW tuition and reg fee.

Guy shine ur eye cus I am very sure something is not right somewhere

Soory to say but the school or someone is trying to scam you here. I have never heard about a scholarship where u av to pay ist before they refund money to you in my adult life.

Mind you I'm also a masters student studying presently in Germany so I know what I'm saying. And i have applied for several scholarship before and even still have links to scholarship site sent to my email everyday and no where av I seen where u will be asked to pay close to a million naira dat will then b refunded later.

Don't let ur desperation to travel out of Nigeria make u make decisions u will regret later plz. Find out very well abt this cus it smells scammy to me. U can contact the embassy here in Nigeria or the school directly.

I need to ask if u are dealing with the school directly or thru an agent? If its thru an agent, my dear u are getting prepared to be scamed!!!!

Hello house, please do I need to buy a ticket before collecting my Visa.

Capital nooooooo

shaddie:
Hi Nairalanders, I intend to travel for vacation in the summer and I have 3 destinations in my mind. In all my previous travels (business or pleasure) I purchase my tickets from the airlines directly and also make direct arrangement with the hotels (I just don't believe in online payment). This time around however, while trying to beat the summer rush and hike in fares associated with the season, I did my window shopping online, booked the airline with the best fares, rushed to bank, withdrew money and quickly dashed to their office to make payment. I was however disappointed when they told me at the counter that the actual fare is far higher than what's on their website. the difference was quite significant that I aborted my plans.

On my way back, as I was thinking, I remembered the several advertisement I had seen in the national dailies about wakanow.com and on getting back to the office, I visited their website and confirmed that their fares are quite cheap including the hotels, airport pick-ups etc. I however don't have any information about them. I'm therefore calling out on Nairalanders who have had any sort of experience with them to help out cause the money involved here is huge and is not something I'll want to gamble with.

Thanks.

They are legit. I booked Turkish airlines flight to Frankfurt dia last Oct wwn d price on Turkish airlines site was higher by 5k and I still travelled. I don't know how dey manage d low price but dey are very legit. I even booked hotel in Frankfurt from dia before I left and I never had any issue watsoeva

Talented Nigerian female football star, Asisat Oshoala who signed for Liverpool Ladies on Friday, January 23, 2015 played her first game for her new team earlier today against Aston Villa Ladies. Asisat scored a goal in the enthralling game that ended 4-1 in favour of Liverpool. The delighted 20 year old versatile striker took to Instagram to share the good news.

Congratulations Asisat, and more goals to your boots.

I just went to d Liverpool ladies official site now and assist was not listed among d goal scorers against Aston Vila. So someone is lying

Please house, I need advice. Knowing that countries always wish foreigners return to their home countries after schooling, will it be wise to say during a visa interview that you intend on staying back to run a PhD before returning? (If you're going for a Masters program). I know schools tend to favour people with intentions of furthering when granting admission, but does same go for the embassy?

I was asked the same question and my answer was I will stay for my PhD and I gave reasons for that decision. I got the visa so be truthful cus dey know u are lying if u say u will come back. So tell them u plan to stay for ur PhD for so and so reasons, shikena

Obiwannn:


OK.

is this done on both the original and photocopies or only the photocopies?

then two questions I failed or forgot to ask whilst at the ministry of education and Saudi embassy are
1. how many photocopies of sets of documents can be done at a time? the man had said its 300 per document and that I should make 3 copies


2. dunno if you've ever certified documents at any embassy that works like that of Saudi..cos I dunno if after certification at the ministries of education and foreign affairs, the Saudi embassy will now go on to seal and sign the originals or seal and sign the photocopies

thanks

PS.. I know say this Na German thread o..so make my ogas no vex for me

The ministry of education will seal and sign on the original documents and two photocopies, then the ministry of foreign affairs after seeing the seal of d MOE will ONLY seal and sign on the photocopies cus according to them original certificates are educational materials and can only be verified by MOE so falls under the jurisdiction of MOE so they do not av d authority to sign and seal original documents.

Wat is required is d seals eida on d original or photocopies

Obiwannn:


Bros.. I recall u to have certified your documents @ the ministry of education and the ministry of foreign affairs in d other thread..

a friend of mine wants to apply to study Islamic studies at a school in Saudi Arabia. the school requires his degree certificate and transcripts be certifyed at the Saudi embassy in Nigeria.

I went there on his behalf and they said two things
1. that I first get certifications from the Ministry of Education and ministry of foreign affairs and
2. that the certification be done on the original certificate that is...the ministry of education nd foreign affairs would place their SEALS on the front and sign behind (3 times in total) the ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE and not the photocopy.

am worried.
won't this mutilate the certificate

That is how it is done, a seal and signature on d back and not front of d documents. It is done neatly and no mutilation whatsoever is done to d certs

fapper:


Germany or Nigeria police report??

German of course. U get it at ur rathaus for 13€

To those asking abt the job, plz know that u won't get it if u don't have a police report ooooo. So go and get ur police report if u don't yet av one

Ndyoo:


Abeg help me tell the guy...he's behaving like someone that is not used to modern facilities. Except there's something he's hiding. Nevilbot, all you have here is trust because you can still give me the link on facebook and I will boycott the referal. Stop being conscious of money. This is one problem we nigerians have. By the way, him getting the 50 euros is conditional so far the person works. If not you referring the person is as good as nothing...

U jump to conclusions and say things u can't even explain cus u feel u are more righteous Dan other Nigerians who need money. Who told u it works with a referral I.d if it was just abt giving out referral I.d won't it even be easier for me to just give out d I.d and forget abt d rest?

The way d thing works is I av to enter ur details n my own personal portal of d company to refer u, by so doing u then get a mail from d company telling u to go register. U said u saw nevilbot educonsult, abeg is dat not the same as nevilbot and can't u send a mail to it?

Plz don't judge me if u don't know me cus u are not more righteous Dan I am.

Ndyoo:
Nevilbot, that your 10EUR Job doesn't look bad. Best you could do for the thread is to drop the link here...Searching you on facebook is a cumbersome task when you can't provide your full name. Danke!

I cant provide you with the link to the job for obvious reasons which is if you go directly, i loss my 50euro referral money which you ursef will agree with me is not a small amout of money in germany. And i already shared the link with like two who contacted me and they can vouch for the realness of the company and the job. About searching me out on facebook with nevilbot being cumbersome, then i guess u are using an internet that is not even up to edge standard and a browser that is outdated. i cant provide my name here for reasons we all know cus i dont want to av issues with any godlike admin, so plz just type nevilbot on facebook and i most say those who searched sincerely this week got across to me. up to five contacts from this same forum already added me on facebook mainly by typing in nevilbot so the truth is u did not search, facebook is not a voluminous encyclopaedia

so search for me, add me, give me your details, i refer u, u get ur job cus they are seriously recruiting right now and i get my 50euro from the company and we both smile to the bank. which means we have to help one another, Lobatan!!!!!!

ogompaul:
I searched u on fb buh what I kept getting https://m.facebook.com/search/?refid=8&search=Search&search_source=top_nav&query=nevilbot isn't u. please would u mind giving ur full name?, Thanks.

Maybe ur internet get virus o. Just joking but like 3 people already got across to me using dat same nevilbot cus I'm d only nevilbot in d whole world even Google will confirm dat

I can't give u my full name here not cus I don't want to but cus our oga wey wise pass say giving out details here na spamming and dat e fit crash nairaland server wen d sperm too much. Try get an internet with no virus and type in nevilbot in Facebook or Google ,walahi na only me u go c

crowns2:

Bros how did you get the job? was it through agent / job agency?
Another question, will your pay be tasked?

I got d Max plank job through my department cus I'm studying neuroscience and d institute is a brain research institute. D other I got thru a naija friend of my who sent me d link. If u are interested in d cleaning job let me know cus d company is in many cities and dey are recruiting directly seriously. Dey even said dey will pay me 50€ for every person I refer so abeg mail me make I refer chaply. 50€ no b beans.

For those trying to send me mail on nairaland plz stop sending dem cus I don't get dem. Just search for nevilbot on Facebook and add me.

After 3 months in Germany, I finally got two job offers yestday both paying 10€ per hour. One a students assistant position at max plank institute and d other a private partner to a cleaning company.

But the cleaning company asked me to get a document called gewerbeschein within 3 weeks. Guys already experienced here can u plz explain wat that is cus from my search on it, its like a company registration stuff

The movement is mostly anti-Islam and has been condemned as racist and xenophobic although had as many 17000 people marching in Dresden just before Christmas.

oh, i heard about it but e still no concern me, im not a muslim and i dont grow beards and even if im a muslim e no go still bother me cus the govt is against it.

Eke40seven is right abt the resident permit thing, my classmate from india who stays in frankfurt got 1.5 yrs from the frankfurt office on his second visit after he ist got 1 year from a guy on his ist visit but had to go back cus one of his document was missing. another lady from turkey got 1 year while riedstadt where i live which is under gross gerau admin office insist i cant get more than one year on a ist application but can get two years after the ist year is finished.

so how many years extension u get depends on 1) the visa visa office where ur residence fall under and not where ur school is, if u school in frankfurt and u live in darmstadt, ur visa office is in darmstadt, if u try go frankfurt, once dey enter ur passport no into their system, they tell u immediately to go tho darmstadt (speaking from personal experience 2) sometimes going early and the mood of who you meet can also determine if u will get more than a year but its not a hard sell, u might go by 6 and still get 1 year if the person u meet is a stickler for rules (personal experience too).

As for getting a lady issue, for now two things are paramount in my mind, passing my feb exam (still in chapter 4 out of 28 chapters) and also getting a job then beating my german nebor cus he still try me today, women can come after april once im sure i will secure the fund for my second year via a steady job, till then abeg i dont need women for now,

Ndyoo:
Lol @ Nevibot...The young generation of Germans are something else. If you plan to learn german from them then you're on your own. They speak terrible german. It's like a slang. And as for the girls wey dey smile at you...No mistakenly go chyke one. The first OT wey dem give me here be say smiling at you doesn't necessarily mean she's interested in you. Someone learnt it the hard way and taught me the easier way.

I dint mean smile in that they want to date me o, smiling in the sense that i am a money paying customer. oga ur blood dey hot o so na woman u don dey pursue for germani. i neva get any lady friend here oo cus i neva needd am. was getting close to a female classmate until she told me other class members think i am in love with her and they are already teasing her abt it na so i give her space chaply cus no be my type, choopy and smokes more than a chimmney.

To be realistic germany can get very lonely and boring if u dont av friends or a job yet cus ur nebors will hardly relate with u as everyone prefers to lock himsef in his or her room. exam is in february so i will ease on the job hunting now and pass this semester one first cus its a whole textbook i av to read for the semester.

as for those still trying to send me personal msgs, sorry i dont recieve dem but i know u sent a msg. i dont understand how nairaland works again but i get failure delivery wen i try to reply ur msgs so plz no vex oo. our 'ogas' for here say putting our email dey make dia blood hot and i wont want anybody to av high bp cus of me so im not going to do dat. but if u really need to get in touch with me, u can search me with my nairaland nickname i.e 'nevilbot' on facebook or just type nevilbot into google, it will lead u straight to me cus na only me dey bear the name in thw whole world. danke schon. i just hope this one no go still vex our oga for here oooo

Clandestine60:


Hey nevibot , how yoy doing brother ?How is everything going with you overthere . Trust you are gradually beginning to integrate into the system. With regards to goings on there, heard about this new right wing movement gathering up pace there but also heard a number of citizens have gone in to squash it. My question is, has it in any way affected you and the everyday non-german from observation.

I'm OK and blending in well and making friends fast with elderly women WO are more friendly Dan d young ones. My young German Nebor is an ass and I go soon break him head once I collect my resident permit card.

As for ur question abt right wing, me I don't know wat DAT is oo cus I no dey hear German news as I don't understand d language yet but I just know DAT nothing has change in d way Germans perceive me. I still dey shop for Rewe and d gals dia still smile at me, I still dey enter train and d conductor still tells me danke schön wen I show her my ticket. I still walk up to any German I see and ask any question I av so left or right wing, e no concern me ooo
