donhuko:
please can one apply with 'student's copy' of transcript. I intend making multiple applications, and my school has refused to give me the original copy of my transcript or send it to any address that isn't that of a tertiary institution. Gurus in the house i await your response. Thanks

Yes that is what I used and I'm now in Germany. Just make sure its certified and it bears ur dept stamp and no alterations are on it, lobatan!!!!

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

Williamso:
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

tayoslayer:
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

Mwhile:
Hi guys, compliment of the season to u all.Quick one, I got admitted into a uni. in Germany for master and am asked to pre-enroll through mail posting with so specified documents, which is not an issue but am asked to include an insurance certificate. Anyone with an info on how to get a student health insurance certificate should please give one. Trust in you guys for an info

Just tell dem u will get insurance upon ur arrival in Germany cus no naija insurance covers ur stay in Germany except if u av someone in Germany DAT will buy it for u which is a long thing considering DAT money will be deducted monthly from ur act to fund d insurance.

I told my SCH d same thing and dey waited. Wat is important is ur enrolment fees. Which SCH are u coming to

omoomoba:
Hi guys, would I be correct if I say that for a self sponsored program taking 2years, one would need to have at least €670*24months*227(exchange rate) = 3650160 naira for the block account? I thought it was around 2m for the block acct. Or one can pay for a year first Any more enlightenment please!

Wat dey are asking for is only for one year but if u av money surplus u can put excess, na ur money kill am

justwise:
Reply them with laptop or desktop PC first before using mobile device and avoid dropping your contact details here.

Plz is it a crime if I decide to drop my contact here and WO gave anybody the right to modify my message. I dint even know it's possible to modify msg posted by people and removing things from it. Are we in china, north Korea or Eritrea where dia is no freedom? Last I checked naira land is a Nigerian domain and u av just infringed on my freedom of expression by modifying my msg without my consent.

Plz don't turn ursef into a dictator here dis is a public forum and not peoples personal property so I can post wat I like so far its not insultive pornography or against d law.

I noticed dat some people here are trying to send me msg. Plz I av not replied dem cus I can't get ur msgs. All I get is so and so sends u a msg reply to connect but wen I reply I get a failure delivery msg. So plz if u av tried sending me a msg and I av not replied, I am not snubbing u jst dat I avnt gotten d content of ur msg.

Danke

@nevilbot longst tym aw studies? Noted tanx 4advc tho

studies is fine oo, finished the ist part of winter semester today. wont be going to sch till jan 12. just wish i could get a constant job. went to two job casting interviews during the week but i was turned down cus of my no german proficiency and speaking abilities.

im really tired jare, really feeling home sick

beebee5000:
@nevillbot The lady who told you this story, how was she able to survive with multiple jobs? You are given a specific time to work per week and during holidays and from research the money is usually not enough to depend on only, unless you earn Schwarzgeld and that is dangerous. Brother don't be tempted ohh.

Well how she did it I dint bother to ask details but I know she did it. Was still with her thru out sunday and we still av plans to meet this week cus she wants to help me with securing a messe job. There are rules on paper and dey can b bent a lil. Like she worked nights mainly but she is a success story now anyway.

She is still searching doe for after graduation job

when i read some comments on social media, i cant but pity the mental faculty of some people. a rail project that has not even started and one company is calling it world class and some people are already using it as an avenue to start a pdp apc war. why dont we wait till the next 25 years wen it will be 'ready' before we start arguing abt if its world class or not.

if the whites and advanced country we want to be like rejoice in speculative news do u think they will be wia they are today? and in 25 yrs time wen that real system is eventually ready which i totally doubt, will the rail system of these advanced countries still be wia it is today?

i dont just understand y we keep falling for the cheap publicity stunt of this clueless administration. for ur info, i am a nigerian residing in germany so i know what a world class rail system looks like not one that have not even stated and youths are already abusing themsef ova

i do not usually write long stories but i really think i have to do it today. i met a nigerian lady recently here in frankfurt and i think i should share the story she told me yesterday cus we guys already here can learn a lot from it.

she came to germany for her masters two years ago with a sponsorship letter from her brother and her broda only paid her rent for 2 months and her insurance for 5 months so she had to struggle to survive by getting multiple jobs yle studying. the gist doe is not abt her cus she made a success of it as she has graduated now with good grades but abt a friend dey came together from OAU ife to the same sch here in fulda, germany.

the guy (an ibo guy) in question had a blocked acct and was being sponsored by his brother in nigeria so he was very relaxed and would not work but will go flexing and wasting money with another guy from nigeria who was on a monthly scholarship. he would also be sending money home from this same block acct to his gf in nigeria forming don and partying and buying things from expensive stores, dating german gals, moving with unserious people. you all know that 8000 euro in germany is really chicken change so the money burnt fast and he had to start begging his broda in nigeria for more money.

the broda pitied him and sent him around 2000 euro to renew his permit cus he got one year initially but during the process of his being broke and finding it had to survive, he lost focus and failed the semester exam woefully. so the visa office refused to extend his permit and he was asked to return home cus he could not cope with the rigours of the masters program. it was so bad for him that they had to send money for his flight back home from nigeria as he had wasted all money on him.

on getting back to nigeria with nothing to show for it after wasting close to 11000 euro, his gf back home that he was forming don for broke up with him and used the saving from all the guys foolishness to travel out herself. now the guy is back in Nigeria with no job and no certificate to show from his germany adventure and his brother have refused to spend a dime on him again.


moral of the story: we know the sacrifice we had to make to get here, the nights searching online for schs, the periods fine tuning our motivation letter, the trips to lagos and abuja to certify documents, the nights reading for IELTS and TOEFL and in some cases also preparing for german language proficiency exam. Most importantly, we know the biggest sacrifices some of our parents and sponsors had to make for us to be here in monetary terms. some parents (like mine) took loans with huge interest rates using a valuable asset as collateral. plz and plz, let us face wat we are here in germany to achieve cus the authorities here would not hesitate to send us back if we mess things up.

im not saying we cant flex once in a yle but we should remember the saying that dia is time for evrything under the sun. for those with a mindset of coming here to flex with german guys and ladies wo are already citizens, i would advise we do it with sense cus if things go wrong, they have a social system to fall back on but we will be left hanging out dry. if we dont av sex in a year we cant die and dia is a way we will prove oursefs that these gals will offer themself to us on a platter. i already have two german ladies in my class wo wants my dick but im running with sense not cus im impotent but cus i know say time neva reach.

and for us who have fiances back home in nigeria, dont let wateva pressure they pile(stuff like u av not called today, u dint send me a msg, u know i need attention and money) affect us cus they cant understand wat we are facing here. if he or she cant wait, then let him or her go, another person will come.

my 2 kobo. takia

Got my resident permit today but it was just one year and it cost 100€.

If u are in ur ist semester like me and u av a b something certification in German language proficiency den u might want to check out this scholarship DAT i stumbled on.

Guten morgen people! am sorry i have been away for awhile..the education here has been really stressful and hectic for me it's not beeen easy atall..just trying to integrate with the german system because i have missed 7weeks lectures and lectures on 2 of my courses will end nextweek so i have to drop them.now am concentrating on 4courses and damn they have really gone far and i have alots to cover plus research works and presentation..not easy atall.Another thing am regreting right now is not learning the language before leaving naija..chai it's frustrating because 90% of this people speak german and if not because of BISSIEJOE AND KAYUSEBOSS maybe i would have packed my things and go back to naija out of frustration(just maybe)..big thanks to BISSIEJOE AND KAYUSEBOSS damn God is really using them for me.(PLEASE LEARN THIS LANGUAGE BEFORE COMING HERE).Also the hunt for accommodation is not been easy atall and very expensive(from 300-500euros monthly) so try your best to secure a place before coming here if you dont wanna spend close to 100euros daily on hotel except you have someone to accommodate you for awhile.

GUYS PLEASE BARE WITH ME OOO I NO BE INGRATE OOOO NA JUST THE WORKLOAD WEY TOO MUCH AND THE LECTURES HERE JUST BE LIKE MAGIC TO ME..WAS JUST LOOKING LIKE A MUMU..CHAI SEE AS BISSIEJOE AND KAYUS DEY LAUGH ME FOR CLASS TODAY..GOD DEY SHA

I can feel u broda cus I'm going thru d same thing u are going thru here in Frankfurt. Wia I finally see house na 35 mins to Frankfurt by train plus 30 mins to get to d train station from my house by foot cus d bus na once every hour

Eke40seven I really feel ur last post. Dis page dwells more on life before getting to Germany and less on after it bcus people WO got here b4 us are usually silent after getting here.

No one actually told us DAT u get to pay over 100€ for resident permit wen u get here until I raised d question. A lot of other issues like settling down here and getting a job are also not treated. I most confess DAT I av not bin finding things easy since I arrived cus I came here without knowing anybody and most of d tins I av done here were thru d grace of God WO made me meet a Nigerian guy DAT have bin so wonderful.

We really need those already here and settled to come back here to give to wia dey got from most especially in getting jobs as I most confess d 8040€ blocked is not actually enuf if u stay in a city like Frankfurt wia I am and I can't call home for money. U should also b aware that u av to pay enrolment fee again every semester and DAT was not calculated with d 8040 so if guys WO are already settled don't assist us just finding our feet won't d visa b a waste wen we loose our studentship?

I can Neva forget this forum cus its part of wat got me here and I hope others can help too
