@nineteenth, people make sacrifices for their dreams. The prospects of having a better life as a graduate of a German university is high. What is 90k and danfo? If you have been earning 90k for 3yrs now ,I can boldly tell you that the value of your salary is now around 45k. The things you could buy for 20k last 2yrs will cost around 40k nw.

For some this German dream is just a " let me try thing" for others it's a major step to their futures. If it is worth it or not is based on your vision. For people who have a strong plan, quitting a job or selling a property is a must pay price. You would be amazed if you know what many have done to raise blocked account cash. I know a guy who was working for a petroleum company and earning well. Before he got his job he had this German dream, so he worked and saved for 3yrs. After 3yrs, he quitted his relatively high paying job and left for Germany( many would never try that).Today, He is not regretting it one bit.

I will never make a decision for you. Weigh your options, analyse and decide.
Since you have an admission, you are one leg in.

YOU ARE A MAN. MAKE YOUR DECISION AND BE RESONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

Thanks for this wonderful response, it's highly appreciated.

which other light do you need again nitori oloun eh?! you have a job paying you 90K per month and a bus bringing in money too. you want to live all that to do student mini Jobs here? eh taking care of dogs, cats, washing plates, cleaning, factory hand, baby sitter, etc Kai!! How fluent are you in German? Thats the first step? there is rising incidences of people jumping in front of moving trains out of frustration. Nowhere is perfect!

Schwartz:

Haba! Did someone tell you that as a student in Germany you will make mega money? You a house owner with something tangible to do want to sell your home to chase German dream? You want to do menial jobs as most, if not almost all of us students do to survive this place? Menial jobs that will mostly go to paying rent, insurance, semester fees, TV licence fees and all the other bills that get in constantly into our letter boxes. If not for the mixtures of cold and warmth we get this days most of the time this country is really cold. Can you go out at -10°c in the night for a night shift job while waiting in the freezing cold for connecting bus or train to take you home? Think very well and remember your visa restricts you from working all the time.
The other day I was just gisting with my friend that in Nigeria if you have your own home the only thing you need to think about is to feed. Here its a totally different story.
I am against anyone borrowing to come here but in your case I would say its safer for you to borrow and put down your house as collateral than sell it outright. How you will pay back when you get here that I cannot guarantee.

kennyoguns0509:
House I'm here again ooo I need someone who has sent document to uni-assist before because I sent mine last week and have not receive any confirmation from them about getting my document and also payment of $75

Vicjustice:

Though, they would be interested to know what's in the previous passport, but that won't be possible.
Now, if you didn't used the passport for any visa application, then you should be fine because, there is no way that any embassy can tell the information in the previous passport: besides, you can always maintain that you refused to use it because of the errors in the data.
It would have been very bad if an embassy had a hold of the passport (they would have saved the details in their system). So, rejoice!

nefertitiram:


D old passport wasn't biometric was it? If it wasn't u were scammed to av pd 100k

Secondly, u didn't use d old passport so u av no issues

Vicjustice:

What do you mean "the new passport has the old and new passport numbers written on it its data page"? I just checked two Nigerian passports, and i could only see their individual numbers.
By the way, has your previous passport been used before for visa application?
If so, what year was it used?
Was the application successful?
What embassy?

dustydee:

If you are going to the UK, you'd not see the VO but I am not sure if you have to include your old passport. They know mistakes happen and it shouldn't be much of a problem since you didn't use it.

Pennsylvania:


I think you're good to go then.

justwise:


Yes it matters because you can't do any data change in Lagos especially age or name, has to be done in Abuja.

dustydee:

You should be fine.

Codeblues:
I hope you didn't do biometric at any embassy with your previous passport?

Pennsylvania:
Op,
Your old passport, does it have any country's visa stamp on it? If it doesn't, then I don't think they'll ask for it. But next time don't make such silly mistakes changing ages, cos Europe and America and especially Canada are too careful when going thru ones document/passport. Just a little mis spelt detail can cost you a visa.

spacyzuma:

This is suspicious. Why will a new passport have both old & new passport numbers on it?

I did a passport renewal recently. The new passport was very similar to the old one. But the old number is NOT on the new passport.

Call that person that did it for you and challenge it.

bidosko:
my old passport no was printed on mine. It is written "previous passport no "

justwise:


Was the renewer done in Lagos or Abuja?
