ferdimako: I thought u meant d visa fee

Hahaha. The thing tire me o.

busky101: danke bruder, u mean the 8,000euros for the block account?

Obviously!

emerald14: so where are u

Youtube?

busky101: bitte, can my uncle in belgium sponsor my german education?

Nein. Unless he gives you cash.

phucado: Wetin I tell you? Okwa ifugo ya?

I couldn't get that. What ya say?

Bethiano: please i need someone to remind me the name of the nairalander whose sister helped her with the SPONSOR LETTER.

I need to get clear info from her.......


OR

To those in Germany, '' my uncle who is in Germany said, they (his LGA) asked him to open an account in my name and deposit about 8000 euros before they would give him the SPONSORSHIP LETTER. '' please, how true is this, have there been any recent policy change? i need to confirm and be sure he is doing the right thing.....

I think her name is betty.
Ummm! Wouldn't that defeat the aim of a sponsorship letter? Depositing €8000?

uchezdedon: Thanks @ Nimakor.

Gern geschehen.

uchezdedon: Just wanna thank everyone who has been contributing in one way or the other to see that accurate info is being shared.
Plz I have a question to ask those that has been in Germany. And Plz don't get angry in case If such question has been answered.
My question is since accommodation has been the major challenge in Germany can't we solve it by allowing two Pple pay for one room at least it will be lesser, or is dat not acceptable in Germany?
Plz someone should help me with this

For this to happen, it has to be in the private housing market. However, there could be some hurdles as it is my understanding that some home owners do not rent out a single room to two people...not even married folks (sometimes).
I think what you should do is get in touch with students in your school/city...current or prospective... and work on the option of a shared flat.

Justcul: Lolzz @Nimakor, its not fair oooooo...

Hahaha. Worry not Bruder. You will fall in line pretty soon.
Was neu?

Justcul: Pls guys, let's post in english.. Some of us are still novice in german..

Thanks

I think it's a good thing fa.

phucado: Brother! Chill. You can talk to someone without being funny. People make stern statements or advices without being rude. I remember reading a girls post here that was annoying somedays ago.... Such people can be told off without being derogatory in remarks. As per some people trying to be angels, dude na only you dey see that one. Killing is not fair but someone has to do it? That's okay for you bro.

You can prevaricate all you want, I know you got the drift. And that saying was never to be taken literally.
Occasionally the thread needs to be sanitized, to maintain some decorum.
Somebody has to do it. It doesnt have to be you, I perfectly understand.
Enjoy!

tossbal4real: Hello, I havent been booked yet o. Should I send them a reminder on Monday?

I do not think you have to do anything. (not that it would matter anyway)Generally, they collect mon-wed and book thur-Fri. Kinda strange you have not been scheduled.
I suggest you keep calm, the Germans adore protocols...next week will deliver the goods.
When are you due for enrolment?

phucado: Lol. I love dis group mehn. Una too much. Una dey try wella. Anyway, I feel irked the way some people clamp down of some innocent people. Read from page 1 to now? You sabi the kind device the person dey use? You sabi if he get enough data for that? If you wouldn't wanna answer someone, you free am. Don't try to be funny with derogatory answers.
Person talk about european chicks? Dem suppose know say we be visitors na and give us nice treat na. But say make I spend my money on dem, dem don enter bush be that o. I get research work for here weh I dey plan to fund via my hustlings for germa, so where time to go dey follow woman.
All of you thinking of renting house together, don't increase the german population o. The cold there is catalyst for population growth o.

Funny haha + funny perculiar!
Word! One doesnt have to read all but a taste of it would update one's OS and put one in the right shape when contributing or seeking help...#Initiation.
Shey you see person wey de allege say we de discourage pple for wetin we know little about. If only she had read something before jumping in.
Yes, I know some pple want to be angels... 'killing' aint fair but somebody has to do it.

lekzzydo: which "own good" again when one couldn't submit.

The answers are automatically saved. Your argument is flimsy at best.

Justcul: @Nimakor, Ndyoo how much is Euro on d black market currently? Thanks in anticipation

I really have no idea (@themoment).

Ndyoo: 2 referees, current account holders in either GTB or any other bank.
GTB bank takes 2 days to confirm and other banks takes 2 weeks.
Account holder must be active at least 6 months.

Ha! No worries...e go pure gan.

Adexhat: yeah i've been there and av my doc. certified/authenticated. waiting for interview later in d yr or early next yr. also i didn't see anything written concerning d condition to return & it's not stated on daad website too. i should be taking study leave from work when i'm about 2go by God's grace.
danke shon

Ich bin froh fuer dich. Alles gute!

Adexhat: do u mean my verdict is not current or correct pls? want to know better if u've got contrary info. yeah, i agree wt u about ur points 1-3 and dat is wat it is for every scholarship. I am a professional by d grace of God which is also in-line wt d course and so i'm hopeful to get it (if it's God's will). But do they really compel scholarship holder to return after studies? kindly give me ur reference cos i've searched and couldn't see such clause. however, no big deal coming back if it's required as i'll be able to make my fatherland better.
danke shon

Certainly, I meant correct...my bad the spelling was not correct.lol
In respect to the DAAD scholarship, I only have one question for you: have you gone to the Embassy for authentication? If yes, you will have seen it...the terms and conditions.
If no, then wait until you have visited.
For the record, I never went there for it..the verification. I met a homie there once, he had to change his mind.
Nonetheless, I think it is very doable, and ofcourse winnable. Just do your bit.
Viel Erfog!

Ndyoo: Any peep that have blocked their account, how was the stuff? Did you use Euro domicilliary account because I am tired of chasing refrees like they're boss or something and besides GTB is not making it easier...

Nimakor, how far with your Sperrkonto? Any challenges?

Mein Bruder, I have not initiated the process. It is not as if I will meet up, my interview is on Monday. So, I do the transfer after the that...hopefully.
What is GTB saying?

nevilbot: @emerald, if u cnt b of help, jst stay out of it plz. If u read my ist post u wil see wia i said im new to nairaland and u dnt xpect i shld stat reading frm page 1 a trend dat is already up to 300 plus so if u cnt annsa me plz dnt abuse me.thanks

Why would you not read them? Your so-called dilemma has been 'overkilled'...if you had read a few pages back, you would have been at ease.
Nobody is abusing you. Don't listen to 'hearsay'...embracing the 'art' of reading won't harm you.
And yes, you may go with the account opening printout. If the money is not ready...trust me, it is not.

tossbal4real: Hello all,
I sent a mail to book for appointment two days ago, but yet to receive a response. Please is there anything I can do.

Thanks

No. It is very likely you will get booked tomorrow anyway.

abiegirl: Also, there's the issue of age. Generally, candidates above 30yrs are not qualified.

Touche!
Hope you have received your Sperrkonto details?

nevilbot: Plz guys im in a dilema and i realy need ur advise. My interview is august 8 and i got my blockd act details 2 weeks ago. D money was suposed to b ready tday bt dia was a f**kup and i dnt tink i cnt meet up wit d august 8 for d act statement. Shld i go for d interview without d statement of act or wat shld i do plz. Still hoping for d money to b ready bfor den bt if not, shld i go or is it posible to shift d date, plz advice

Of course.

Adexhat: Hello all, it's nice to be here! i've been following d thread from 0 and now i'm just on 110, so i've to jump and make my contributions while still checking through to update myself.

Firstly, i noticed that d question of CGPA equivalent (for masters students anyways) has not been well dealt with. from my research about it, German GPA scale is from 1-4 with 1 being d best. some admission requirement will put 2.5 as min. cut-off, so how is urs equivalent to the German?

then simple formula is 3*(A-B)/(A-1)+1
A=d max obtainable GP in ur sch.(e.g 5.0)
B=d CGPA u finished with. (e.g 3.1)............. if u insert d figures given as e.g above then dat dude GPA in Germany will be 2.425 which is higher than d cut off of 2.5 (d smaller d result of ur computation d better ur result as per equivalent) and so d person stand a chance of getting admission. I hope Godson, Topeajis and co. can should confirm ds pls.

Then my question as i've not seen anyone talked about DAAD scholarship, is there anyone in d house dat applied for d 2015 one and why is it that many people don't look in dat line? I currently av my application though for it.

I hope i'll have like minded here.

I think the problem of GPA conversion and equivalency has been profusely adressed. Since you are still on page 101, I say your verdit is not so currect.

DAAD scholarship has many red tapes.
As Beebee rightly said, the language of the courses is German, although I think some of the courses are english taught. Other hinderances include:
1. Limited number/specialty of programs.
2. Employment status/experience; usually should align with your MSc pursuit.
3. Sign to return after studies. etcetera.

abiegirl: Interview done! That ibo man for gate been wan spoil my groove this morn but God no gree am. I got there by 6.45am and informed the security guy that gives tags that my apptmnt was for 7am. E say make I go queue. I still kept calling their attention that I was for 7am, no response. At 7.30am, they tell me that I am too late. Eventually, I was allowed to go in after waiting for a wile.

The interview itself went well, no surprises. I no solve maths either. The standard questions were asked. I was given back my passport and told that I would get a reply by email.

In order news, pls o, how long before I get my account number of the blocked account?

Congrats girl! The waiting begins.

kayusboss: Guys, am I suppose to receive any notification from the embassy after I've forwarded the proof of payment to them??

They are also forwarded same by the bank. I do not think they need to contact you until your visa is ready.

kayusboss: Nothing serious, just tick where necessary and attach it to your application form

Doro Boss! Ese.

jahjehova: I'd explain and give an example.
What I mean is this - If You will by ANY MEANS need to use any of the DOCUMENTS (ORIGINAL) which you will be taking to the general Consulate, do yourself a favour by photocopying them in surplus before you go. Reason is that YOU will be leaving your documents with them at the VISA OFFICE.

My example- I just got the notification of my masters in IT (Executive) from OAU yesterday. I intended to forward a copy to my office. However, I didnt make sufficient copies (Only made two). My dilema now is, my boss is asking for it, I have typed and signed the covering letter for it, but @ the moment, I don't have any copy of the notification.

I guess it clear now.
@Nimakor, is this intelligible enough?

Perfect! Thank you.

dolpaz: Nimakor, Nna mehn, no be small thing oo. I just got my transcript ready last week. I did Diploma and had a very good score but my school is yet to get that. without the diploma transcript, i may not apply cos its what i used in gaining admission into 200Level.
hope you digg..are u on whatsapp? please pm ur number...lets talk
Have you received any response?
viel gluck meine bruda

They would not evaluate it as a three year program? Insufficient?
All the best though.
Whatsapp, maybe soon.

@Kayuboss, whats the fate of the two-page Questionnaire?

Drea1: Sir is either ur dad or mum , that's what I told dem and I chop my visa .

Lol. I am sure you missed my point.
Enjoy!

jahjehova: How U carry see question paper?

Twas a gud interview. Perhaps went better dan I tot. D guy dat went in b4 me came out wit me. Y? Him dey solve maths. I jst went in interacted, came out.

Everyone please note, if you happen to need any of Ur docs btw ur interview and d date of response, do well to photocopy it. I am in a lil fix due to that. Tanx

Congratulations!
Please, your last paragragh is not quite intelligible.
