Chaiks I just remembered now there is a certain scholarship by the German govt given to students before coming to Germany for certain courses . its called daad scholarship and Nigerians can benefit from it if dia course falls under it. You can Google search it. Daad scholarship!

chaiks:
OK @nevilbot. Of course if I am opportuned to be in Germany, I I'll learn the language at least to a point of every day conversation. Please d scholarship for living expenses, in which school can one search for it? Am extending my search to Germany alongside Estonia. But the block account is my huddle. Like how much can one expect to mk from part time job in Germany?which city and school are you in and does Germany permit easy transition from study to eventual settlement? I seriously wish I made to Dat side like u guys. Imagine finishing well in Nigeria but no job. At least if there is job here,one can hope to save up for d block acc. But it sucks. Let's say if I do ielts, together with a gud sop and cgpa of 4.49, can one stand a gud chance for full study grant over there? I appreciate ur responses all through.

Like I said scholarships don't come easy in Germany bcus the schools are tuition free so d bliv is why do u need scholarship again. But some schs offer living expenses to outstanding students who are already studying. This is not an info u can get while not yet a student as its usually in house via student emails.

So dey give grants to dia students who av good grades not for newly admitted students just coming in. Your grade before coming to Germany has nothing to do with u getting a subsidy on your arrival. D criteria used depends on d sch giving it and it is only to students who av already finished ist or second semesters. So if u need scholarship before u can fund your trip abroad, I will advice u to look else where like USA and Canada and not Germany cus without a block acct or a German resident sponsor, u won't get the visa

As for how much u can make while working, depends on d job contracts. Student mini jobs where u pay no tax, u must not earn more than 450€ per month. Midi jobs where u pay tax is max 850€ monthly while u can earn above that during holiday months of august and September. But mind u, u pay monthly rent (btw 220- 450 monthly) and monthly health insurance of 80€ if u are still below 30 and up to 171€ monthly if u are above 30. How much u spend on feeding and others depend on your life style

chaiks:
@nevilbot, gud to know u v been in Germany for a while. How's life in Germany? Are you studying and if do they give scholarships that covers d living expenses?

Life is fine in Germany but can be finer if u speak German well. Dia are scholarships to cover living expenses but dey are scarce and don't come easy so we just get along by doing part time jobs as we all have work permit as students

t405:
Also if i wanted to travel with a child would it complicate things?is education free for minors?do hubbies get work permits?

they have a session for january which is when am looking to start.

If you want to travel with a child, u can but ur block acct fee will be above 8700€ that a single fellow is required to pay. All education is free for everyone in Germany except kindergarten. As for hubbies and wifeys going with u, its possible and dey get a permit but u need to speak to d embassy on how to process the visa for all of u as d process is not sumtin I'm aware of

t405:
Hello guys am new here

recently started considering germany after canada decided to take forever in responding to PGC visa applications and since the amount i wantd to spend dere wud earm me a MBA degree (about 7M naira) in Germany

just a few pointers needed pls.

does one get 18months work permit after a 1year masters study?
can one apply for Permanent residency during the 18months period and after how many years after PR can one apply for citizenship
After buying health insurance is one completely covered?


I am leaning towards applying to Schiller International University for my MBA. i have sent them an email as i finished with a 2.2 and mentioned my work experience and certifications all in IT. They have indicated that my work experience could be leverage for the academics insufficiency so i would be considered.

Is anyone here scholling in Heidelberg. Also if i wanted to travel with a child would it complicate things?is education free for minors?do hubbies get work permits?

they have a session for january which is when am looking to start.

No, you can't apply for permanent resident during the 18 months. You qualify for Permanent resident after staying 5 yrs in Germany and u qualify for d German passport after staying for 8 yrs.

But also note that ur years used studying qualify as half to your permanent resident status meaning when counting d no of years, if you used 5 (msc+ bsc) years to study it only counts as 2.5 years while full year counts only wen u start working full time after graduation or u stsrt phd as phd is recognized as a full time job if its the one u get a contract for. So if u do a 3 year phd, it counts as 3 yrs. Meaning in your case if u only do a 2 yr MSC, den u av only gotten 1 yr of d needed 5 yrs to qualify for PR. Your 18 month job hunting period will also count as 9 months towards your PR. Meaning In all by d time your 18 elapse u only av used 1 yr and 9 months towards PR.

I hope u get my explanation?

And as for health insurance, u pay monthly for it to remain covered for as long as u stay in Germany. Its a monthly payment thing that u must not default or u get a fine for each month u default

TemmyDavies:
Where in Germany are you.

Frankfurt am main

striker9:
Did I say he will just come and get the job?of course if he's lucky he can ..btw I only answered his questions and that u in Germany for 2 years got nothing to do with my reply as long I didn't give wrong info.

D fact is he can't even work in Germany. This has nothing to do with luck but law. Before he will be thru with getting d required permits to qualify to work, d 2 months holiday is over. And my ist response was not an insult to u so plz cool down, d temp is too high

striker9:
According to the students here, you can earn an average of 4euros per/hr.Legally you can't work in other big schengen countries but there are jobs called black jobs that pays 8.5euros per/hr which is available in Germany. I stand to be corrected

And who says he can just come from Estonia and work the 8.5€ per hour job in Germany without the German resident permit? Sometimes I laff wen read abt d expectations of Nigerian youths online abt coming to Europe working and hammering big.

Plz don't be dcieved , he can't come to do holiday jobs in Germany if he does not av d papers. The so called black jobs are rare and don't pay that 8.5€ as 8.5€ is d legal minimum wage so y will a job that is under d table pay u that much. I av bin in Germany since 2014 and getting those under table jobs is like going thru d needle eye cus Germany is a paper country

uchezdedon:
C

Were you able to transfer via azimo or you just checked if they still have Nigeria in the countries list.

A friend of mine in kleve still used azimo around 5pm German time yesterday and it went thru in a jiffy. And Nigeria is still listed on azimo as at this morning.

After going thru d CBN secular, I think d CBN point of contention is that des companies do not transfer d euro or dollar equivalent of wat d Nigeria banks pay out in d sent foreign currency. Dey maybe found a way of sending naira instead. So wat CBN is saying is if a Nigerian in USA or Europe sends money to Nigeria, pay d Nigerian banks in d foreign currency and not in naira while d Nigerian bank will pay into d receivers acct in naira. I guess its a way to increase d amount of forex in circulation and I don't think that is too much to ask.

Just hope dey sort it out quickly

Bleuocean:
Money transfer service to Nigeria suspended

Dear customer,

As you may have seen in the media, almost all international money transfer operators have been forced to suspend transfers to Nigeria.

Unfortunately, WorldRemit and Azimo are among them.

This has happened because of drastic and unforeseen action taken by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Our local partners have been told they can no longer process transfers to bank accounts.

There was no advance warning that this was going to happen and the money transfer companies affected had no opportunity to appeal.

WorldRemit believes this action to be unfair and we are currently contesting it.

In the mean-time, we are not able to accept new money transfer requests to Nigeria.

We are working to complete all pending transfers. In the limited number of cases where this is not possible, we will communicate with you and arrange a refund.

Our mobile airtime service is unaffected.

If you have previously sent money to Nigeria with us, we will provide updates on the situation by email.

Kind regards,
The WorldRemit team

I got the same mail from world remit but azimo is still working cus dey didn't send such mail and after I got d wr mail, I went to azimo straight and transfer to Nigeria was still on. I don't get wat is wrong with this CBN and I dey see hand of western union in this one. Make dem no go try rubbish Ooo cus its azimo all d way!!

janellemonae:
Only d 1st will be legal. Mormons in America also have multiple wives.

Yes they do but it is still illegal and can't go forward to register it. And d reason they've not gone to jail for it is cus they live a secluded life. They don't go public with it. Make they try make any legal claim now and see wat will come out of it

liohan:
Haba! Nobody ask you where u dey, you come still for your hand... na police dey investigate corruption case for Naija?

Plz who investigated the forgery rules against d leaders of the senate? Abi that one no be corruption too? OK you think u know more than him to have asked the police do the investigation abi?

Islam or not, polygamy is illegal in the USA so make them no go try wetin go land dem for prison

MidasTouche01:
Hmmmm....

Buhari Mr. Integrity is yet to comment on this oo, don't worry... just know that...

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis...

Guy stop being an hater and follow the news. Even me wey no reside in naija know that Buhari has ordered the inspector general of police to begin immediate investigation into d matter. It was news on channels TV since last night. Wat else do u want him to do? To go flog dogara out of d chambers himself?

This is for those already in Germany in dia 2nd, 3rd or 4th semesters. I attended dia seminar some months back in Bonn and I can tell u dia are many opportunities we do not know we av access to as foreign students. If u want to attend, contact me for d application forms

Kind regards

Becus everyone here is just commenting with emotions, no one is calming down enuf to ask d same questions sahara reporters want to ask d governor which are:

SaharaReporters attempted to reach Mr. Obiano to ask certain questions, including information on the location of state farms large enough to produce agricultural products worth $5 million in exports, the specific companies used to ship the produce,
and end-receiver documents from European buyers?

Our problem in nigeria is this na our pikin mentality and na my tribe so I must support it and these polithiefcians keep stealing us dry and confusing us on it. Wat is so difficult for d govnor to show us d farm and ansa those questions raised. And instead of we d citizens to be objective and demand accountability, na tribal sentiments and abuse for this page since!

UncleJudax:
Anybody here received Ogaga's whatsapp number for Hessen-bound students?

Frankfurt, Giessen, Marburg, Darmstadt, Kassel, Fulda, Offenbach usw...

I need to start planning.

I'm in Frankfurt till September. Holla me if u need any update

I don't get what is shocking in this news. Is this the ist time we are hearing of people not being able to recite the anthem when being screened by the senate? This thing happens almost all the time since the days of obj and dey still get screened so I don't get the tag about it being shocking as if its the ist time we are hearing such.

How many people even commenting here can recite d two stanzas of d anthem and pledge correctly sef. Will reciting the anthem reduce the dollar against naira. Abeg give us something more shocking next time, not some anthem that I am very sure not even all d senators can remember when chopping d national cake

Stevebamdex:
Has any epileptic patient in nigeria undergone such surgery and they later come back to you with credible testimonies about being cured afterwards?

D reason y no Nigerian av undergone it is still d same ignorance and superstition the op is talking about. It is still the same ignorance many are still exhibiting on this same thread created to educate us

Stevebamdex:
Ignorance is killing you mr poster,unfortunately,you are so proud of it..have you ever seen anyone being cured from epilepsy through medication? Please answer me

Oyinbos treat epilepsy by using surgery.. And it is done by cutting out the hippocampus via d anterior temporal lobe. Basically dey cut out d part of d brain in d patient prone to seizures.

herzern:
Op....wrote dhiz epistle because of warapa

I shaa know say I nefa see oyinbo wey qet warapa before

That is a very big fat lie. The op is very correct. Epilepsy is a neuro disease and oyinbos av it very well cus it has to do with d electric activity of d brain. I am presently doing my MSc in neuroscience at a uni in Europe and its one of the diseases my oyinbo profs are still working on.

Problem with Africa is too much superstitious believes and lack of adequate public information and education. Nigerians even bliv its contagious if d saliva of d epileptic touches u. Wat a big shame

blueto:
The university sensed that Jamb was no longer a credible means assessing aspirants, so they adopted the postume mechanism for optimal appraisal of aspirants. And besides there is need to abate the number of those to secure admission into universities because the available slots in public universities(especially first generation varsities) are very limited when compared to the myriad and infinite number of aspirants or applicants.

I disagree with u sir on d credibility of jamb back in d days wen dia was no putme. To pass jamb then was like going thru d needle eye. If u scored 200 then sef na to do thanksgiving service. Jamb was the hardest and strictest exam known to Nigerian school cert leavers then only for putme to come and mess it all up. Putme came abt not to rectify any jamb inadequacies but to serve as means for extra income for unis.

Take for instance, some unis will sell putme form for students who picked them as second choice, allow dem sit for exam only to refuse to release dia scores claiming dey are not admitting second choice pickers. This is sumtin dey won't say before selling d forms oo. Lautech does dis very well.

It was also after d advent of putme that unis started admitting ridiculous nos of students more than dia capacity, they use the cover of d exam to pack everyone into d schools. Lsutech again is an example here. Wen it was only jamb, admission was very restricted to wat facilities dey had.

Also the standard of jamb even went down with d advent of putme cus na den we begin to hear of ridiculous jamb scores that students could not defend. So all your reasons dont hold water to me. Its actuslly d opposite. Scraping of putme is good radiance to bad rubbish

blueto:
How can you impose an unsolicited educational policy without consulting and deliberating with the major stakeholders in the field? this autocratic FG has reduced our civil servants to mere peasants in the society.

My question to u plz is who did the universities consult in the ist place when they started post utme back then? Did any law back up the practice of putme?

Unis just woke up and started it to make money and we became cool with in cus we are used to lawlessness. When some of us entered uni , it was only jamb and jamb then had credibility so if no one was consulted to start it, I see no reason y anyone will be consulted to scrap it.

nairaspace:
You can use one way from India to Estonia! I am pretty sure that what you read! Just to be safe regarding immigration wahala. Airline will not even let you fly on one way.

I stand to be corrected.

If you are travelling on a student visa where you don't av plans to come back in d next one year, you can fly one way and airlines won't stop u. Airlines don't care if u buy one way or return ticket cus u can decide to go with one airline and return with another so your statement saying airline will not even let you fly on one way is totally false. I flew one way to Germany in 2014.

The only people u owe an explanation is the immigrations not d airline and simply telling them u are on a student visa is enuf. No one even asked me why I was flying one way thru out my journey

sobastical:
Sir, this shows you didn't get yourself acquainted with this thread else you will know that this issue has been deliberately ironed out that it's a no go area for student visa and even visit visa as they don't honor neighboring countries applications.

Thanks.

Well like i said in the post, i said i hope im right and as for going through the post from page 1, sincerely i do not av the time to move page per page. I only posted wat i saw on the foreign affairs website of the target country which incidentally is their link to study visa. Wen the fellow gets the admission, she will sort her sef out regards visa as i don try biko. If i wan enter Estonia tomorow i fit use bus or train from frankfurt hbf. This one don wan hard pass the little time i av for now. Thanks for pointing it out though

After extensive search and research, i came to discover that the official Estonia visa processing embassy on behalf of estonia in Nigeria is the belgian embassy in abuja

Estonia is represented in issuing visas to Estonia by Belgium.

For more information concerning visa applications in Nigeria, please consult VFS'website: http://www.vfsglobal-be-ng.com.

For more detailed information concerning documents to be submitted for visa application please contact the Embassy of Belgium.

9, Usuma Street, Maitama
Abuja
Nigeria
Phone +234 806 979 22 33
e-mail: visa.abuja@diplobel.fed.be
http://www.vfsglobal-be-ng.com

this info is according to the Republic of Estonia ministry of foreign affairs website http://vm.ee/en/nigeria-abuja so with this, i do not think the indian or uk or egypt or any other country route to get to Estonia will be necessary. Just get a schengen visa issued by the embassy of belgium and with it you can enter Estonia without having to go apply for another Estonia visa in india or UK. Just enter belgium ist, then move straight to Estonia to apply for your permit.

That is the result of my search. I hope i am right and this info is useful in saving stree

RichYoungNigga:
Don't think of that ignorant non educated chap.
He's the richest man in Africa but his tribe is the poorest tribe in Nigeria.
If na Igbo man get the kind money wey im get, he go put Nigeria on the world map, No doubt about that

Can u plz tell me wat d rich Igbo men have done to lift dia tribe out of poverty? At least 3 Igbo men are in the richest top 10 in nigeria., wat av dey done in dia tribe to change d poverty level dia cus I lived in d east for a while and I didn't see anything these rich men did to change d poverty level dia

[quote author=NextGovernor post=47442951][/quote]stop bleiving everything you read online. i live in germany and no one was paid during that period you are refering to. i even got extra bill that month

Please wat about direct entry students cus no one is talking abt them. Is the portal for them too?

omitobi:
1] I think the first thing is to get the admission, then as you may have read on these thread since the Estonian embassy is not in Nigeria (if you are from Nigeria) then you have to go to the nearest one. I am not sure but thinking it might be an advantage for you to help your younger ones to Germany if possible to do the Visa thing there.

admission -> admission letter, confirmation from school, required docs for visa -> apply for visa and trp -> come to estonia.

Generally, I think the process of getting visa by Study purpose requires stody dcoumets (admission letter and co) then other documents regarding funds, confirmation, flights, health insurances, etc... this may vary with different embassies though

2] Yes, they will require proof of fund and I believe a statement of account could suffice in this case except there is another development
3] There are prospect of part time job, to my own understanding, even full time job if you get one. I think there is a better chance with IT jobs since this is what Estonia sells. I cannot assure a 100 percent correctness in this, since I only know a little. My bosses here can speak better on this.
4] yes, the official language is NOT English but yes, people are surviving and by my experience it is possible, just that some jobs might be difficult to get because of the language, however language is one of those issues, and may not necessarily be a BIG problem (depends)

Thanks, I will keep here updated if she gets admitted

Hello everyone,

I came across this forum while searching on study in Estonia for my younger one. I have more than enuf info on how to apply and schools to apply to but where I seem not to find info is the visa application requirements and process if one gets the admission. I have read thru some pages here and I saw people talking abt India route or UK route and it left me confused

Plz I av the following questions.
1) after securing admission, what are the process and requirements for securing an estonia visa.
2) how do dey require proof of funding to be shown cus I'm presently in Germany and I know Germany requires something called a blocked acct before one can get a study visa
3) what are the prospect for part time jobs while studying? Are they available or not?
4) since the official language is Estonian, can an English speaker survive before he gets a hang of the language.

Thanks as I look forward to your answers

I will support the Iceland model for long term continuity goals. They signed largerback with a clause that an Icelandic coach must be his assistant. They eventually made them joint coaches to the euros and we saw the result.

So for me, Le Geun for coach with Yussuf as his assistant so that he can get more training and exposure to take over in the future.
