lextube:


How many months have you been living in Austria? Did you come in as a student? Why haven't you tried getting a job since you came into Austria even if it is a black job so that you can tell people your experience in how you searched for a job in Austria?

What do you mean by " I never even get work because I dey focused on certain career development type of jobs."

Everything you wrote here is story. No specifics, no personal real life experience in your write up, just stories. Enter the street of Austria (especially Vienna) so that you can confirm whether what he is saying is a lie or the truth.

Note please, I am not discouraging anyone from applying to Austria. But it's unfair to state that the guy is lazy when you don't know an inch of what life is all about in Austria as a person from a third world country like Nigeria.

Life here can be said to be better than what we have in Nigeria, especially when you don't have anything going on for you back home. To survive here requires you to be strong mentally and physically. Otherwise, life will leave you behind in Austria. The hustle is very real, don't let anybody deceive you. When coming to Austria, YOU MUST come in here very prepared. YOU MUST come with some funds that will keep you going for at least 3months before you get on your feet.
Some people may say you should come with enough funds that will keep you going for at least 5months especially when you're coming alone and not with your spouse. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. There's no negativity in these words, it's just the truth. Take it or you leave it.

Note also that this is for newbies. Once you are settled here, life is very sweet. The standard of living is very high because they have all the infrastructures, they're well organised and there salaries are good. Also, there educational standard is very high, higher than what you can ever imagine. It would keep you on your toes while you are at it.

Enjoyment full for here, but nothing comes easy. You have to start from somewhere to get to that place, and it's that starting I am talking about.
Maybe you should go back and read what your guy wrote first , then you can re-write your response.
I am in Austria and I can say anyday coming to Austria is a million times better than remain in Nigeria.
You're simply contracting yourself by supporting the original poster and still suggesting you will enjoy Austria...
I am enjoying Austria despite my first month of stay.
The point is where were you before you arrived Austria and where are you hoping to go or achieve? For me, everyone going to Austria from Nigeria is a positive growth that must be encouraged by every means.
No one said it will be all rossy, even relocating from PH to Lagos can never be anything rossy compared to migrating to other country.

God bless you bro. I have not left Nigeria and i already replied him with most of what you just told him. I am learning German already and making great progress. Also doing an IT course sideways. I don't understand why somene will be very lazy like him. He got some persons here to discourage on his private whatsapp chat, but i got one back via email. He has gone ahead to poison people's mind ..

I have never seen an enemy of progress like him before. Full of negetivities. He even said German language is difficult to learn. I have never experienced any difficulty so far. I am glad people like you could come out to buttress my point. Please bro, we need more positive vibes like you on this thread. At your leisure, please drop latest development for us here, a lot of silent readers are here like kilode..
Bro forget that guy and make more extra efforts to japa. If Austria gives you visa, grab it with all your hands.
Continue in your German studies, it's the first secret. I am learning as well gradually.
The opportunities abound here for smart people.
If you have any questions to ask me, I will always be here checking the thread to answer you. This is how I got here through asking plenty questions. I am a masters student.

Tochibelle:
This write up is for every Nigerian who is planning to JAPA to Europe especially to Austria and other none english speaking countries.
I am making this right up from Austria and out of personal experience not hear say. I am also not making this write up to discourage anybody, instill fear or out of hate for Austrians but out of my deep analysis of the Austrian and European (none english speaking) society and to caution my fellow nigerians before to they get into serious regrettable situation in the quest to relocate.
I spent a fortune coming to Austria with my family some few years back but as of today I totally regret and curse the day, I made that decision.
First I came here as a masters student, with the hopes of studying to land a better job afterwards. I also came with alot of professional work experience from Nigeria. As of today, I have made over two hundred applications for jobs, all have ended up in rejections. 40% of the rejections was received within few hours of my application.
That aside, I will advice Nigerians before you JAPA it is good one considers the following which are some of the mistake I made;
1. What is official language of the country you are migrating to? If it is not English language, please do not ever waste your time and money going there.
2. How many Nigerians and other black people live in that country?
Few blacks live here because blacks are not accepted by Austrians systematically. Most blacks here are very unhappy and are always considering going to another country. Also the suffering here is way too much. Pathways to getting a permanent residence is not open for black people either as an Assylum seeker or a graduate student.
3. What type of jobs do they do? Most Nigerians are suffering with menial unsteady work abroad but they will never tell you. In Austria for instance the number of Black people on Professional jobs is less than 1 percent. Some of those jobs were even obtained after donkey years of hard labour. If you think your case will be different, sorry is your name. Most Nigerians in Austrians only distribute Newspapers in the middle of every night. This is only jobs available for black people including graduates. You will still see 50-60 years old men in the middle of the night still moving from house to house throwing papers. If you call it hustle, I call it humiliation. Why cant blacks access better jobs? The answer is racism and hate. The professional white collar job circle is bureacractically closed against black people from third world countries.
If there is any job available, their law has it that an Austrian is first considered, second are citizens from other European countries and prolly North Americans, third are asians and then subsequently are animals before any black man. This explains why you see black graduates who are jobless, either selling newspaper in the middle of every night, or washing plates in restaurants (the lucky once).
I will advice, if you earn 200k in Nigeria, no matter the hardship, omo stay home and do business. Yes, I hear of kidnapping, rising cost of living but Nigeria is still better than being a slave in Austria. I am also fighting to get a job in Nigeria, of which if i get any, I will appear in Nigeria with any available flight.
4. What is the acceptability of black people into their society? Austria have always been ranked as the most unfriendly people/country in Europe and infact among all the western countries. Austrians hate their own fellow Europeans. Within few weeks of my arrival I made friends with Germans and Italians. They complained bitterly of rascism and hate even when they speak Deutsch and also adviced few us blacks to be prepared for these experiences or leave the country. I thought my case will be different, but as the days unfold and I faced the worsed bitter truth.
If Austrians can express hate to their fellow oyibo, bros as a black no matter your qualification, you are less than animal in the eyes of an Austrian.
5. Check the number of Nigerian graduates in that country and how they fared after graduation. Do not be deceived by their offer of Cheap education. Those cheap education is not designed for black people rather for themselves. Now note this, they simply made that system so you can study there and go home. For an employer to hire you as a black, the law states that you must be offered 3600 Euros per month Salary. This is a country were the average salary per month is 1200- 2000 Euros. Which employer will offer a black man 3600 Euros? Again they demand fluency in speak B1-B2 Deustch. Deutsch is one of the most difficult Language to learn in the world. Again Learning the language does not guarantee you a job in Austria as a black. The rule of considering Austrians, Other Europeans, North Americans, Asians, Animals before a black will still haunt you.
6. How many black people own businesses or are in positions of Authourities?
One of the ridiculous and shocking things I discovered here is that most black people here are not Business owners and even as employees, they are always in the lowest cadre in every organization. This is bad a sign for any potential Nigerian planning to come here, because you will eventually end up where your mates are. You will see Nigerians who have spent over 15 years here still doing menial jobs. So when you hear them say,'I will help you' omo all na wash. They no get any levels. No Nigerian is a boss in any establishment. I also noticed that sharp nigerian graduates, disappear once after graduation to english speaking countries. Austria is littered with black people with Asylum seeking status. 80 percent of the blacks you meet here are on assylum or migrated through it. Those people follow spoil our names for Austria. So in the eyes of Austrians, both Students and other black assylum are all same. We are all treated like piece of shit.
Here doing business is quite expensive and virtually impossible for blacks. The best you can see are Nigerians collecting used tyres for export and maybe one or two who own African shops (barely 0.001 percent of all the blacks in the country).
Back to my job haunting experience, I have to be honest with you folks, I made a very beautiful result and grades yet I have not secured an interview in 1 year and 7 months. I have inquired from Employers, Employees, Government offices AMS, Austrians why all these rejection. The Answer i get is that, ' you are from Africa and we do not know who you are'. I am not surprised, Hitler Adolf was an Austrian.....Now you should know who Austrians are. Those documents that you pay hundreds or thousand to legalize mean nothing here except to tell your school that they are not forged.
So fellow NIgerians, before you visit that Embassy in Nos 9 Ufuma Street Maitama, have a rethink. Austria is not worth spending a dime migrating to. I fully understand the terrible situation at home, but I would not encourage anyone to experience the constant depression, systematic rejection, racism and hate I face here. I am still spending my savings from Nigeria and the situation is not getting better. As I earlier stated, my greatest joy will come once I land a job at home and go back to my Nigeria. Most Nigerians here are also fond of not telling the truth, they will never tell u the real situation of things till you arrive here. Also do not judge by currency rates (1Euro = 1500 naira blablabla). I also stated that the average salary in Austria is in the range of 1000- 2000 Euros. Euros used to be 250# and someone on 400k naira salary or makes such in business is way more better than an Austrian. Remember rent is paid monthly, including various insurance. A 10 percent better Nigeria is better than Austria.
Life is not all about money. If the energy you spend doing menial work in Nigeria is spent hustling legitmately in Nigeria, omo you will make it in Life and still keep your diginity. My simple message is ' Do not migrate to Austria and other none english speaking countries'. You will have yourself to blame.

(whatsapp only)
Tony

You are just exhibiting a typical Nigerian unprepared lazy mind mentality.
If Austria is terrible, why are you still in the country?
Even with a newspaper distribution that pays you 500 euro per month can comfortably feed and house you in Austria until you get a better job.
You don't want to learn German but you want to do business in Austria?
I am in Austria just for few months and I can say if you make your plans well as well as develop yourself, the world won't even be your limit. Moving out of Nigeria to Austria has Alot of huge advantage....you easily can get good work in the whole world with good skill, no IP address geo- fencing...
Austria has very good social security once you are legit here.
Parents are paid cuz of children, 14th month salary, subsidized transport system for legit residents, hidden incentives. I never even get work because I dey focused on certain career development type of jobs.
Unless you are not friendly type.
And why post your WhatsApp number? What kind of desperation is that?

Travel / Re: How Convenient Is Student Life In Austria? by OdogwuHappyMan: 9:59am On Jan 08
Good Morning Sir, I need help on houw to secure accomodation in klagenfurt austria or villach please help a brother


MeineMutter:



…how do I go about this as I dont know anyone in that city yet?

Short Answer: Getting accommodation can be tough in Innsbruck, because of shortage of homes.
It’s good you start your search early. Cheaper student hostels start from OJAB. You can check Housing Austria, OEAD, Viennabase (to see if it has accommodation in Innsbruck), Akademikerhilfe etc.

Your Question: FOr the residence permit application I need a proof of fund must I use a sponsor or can I say am using my savings?

Short Answer: It’s good you sponsor yourself if you are overage or going for Master’s course. Always be ready to show source of your fund.


Your Question: Also is it compulsory to transfer the money to austria account when I get to austria to collect my residence permit?

Short Answer: No. Yiu May only be asked to show the fund ( in your newly opened Austrian bank account) when you want to pick your residency card.
You may, alternatively, be asked to show your latest (Nigerian) bank statement, to prove that the fund is still there or be asked to log into your bank app and show them ( if you sponsor yourself). You may be lucky they won’t even ask for it. I have seen cases like that, especially, in town la and cities other than Vienna. But don’t believe that you won’t be asked.

I hope this is clear a bit.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: NIMC Is Trying To Make Me Loose International Job. Please Help by OdogwuHappyMan: 9:01am On Jul 05, 2023
Emir8:
I don't know what to do again! I got an international job which will require me to work from Nigeria and I have submitted all other document but the company is not accepting my NIN Slip. They said it is one-faced Id and cannot be accepted.

I downloaded the NIMC App and tried to activate my account but no OTP is send to my mobile phone number.

I went to the NIMC state headquarter in the state I live and complained. They checked my email and phone number in their system and all are correct. They told me to keep on trying the App. I have been trying the App day and night and no OTP was send to activate my account.

I was asked to check if the plastic one is ready for collection. The web page (https://nimc.gov.ng/eid-card-issuance/) does not exist.

I tried to check the status of the plastic one if it is ready through their website - http://touch.nimc.gov.ng/ The page is no longer existing. Everything about NIMC is not working now.

I even make attempt to get driver's license, I was told it will take 60 days to be ready.

Please what will I do again. I don't want to loose this job. I have send messages to different emails in NIMC but no response. I have submitted the police clearance certificate containing my 10 fingerprints yesterday but they still insist I will not be assigned roles until national ID is provided and the documentation period deadline is Monday 10/07/2023

The company said they are not accepting the blank backside below

People who are worrying about Probe of funds at this early stage, chances are it will discourage you in this journey.

"You dont have to see the whole staircase, Take the first step "

Get an admission 1st. It will give you ginger to find a way. Admissions are valid for 1 Year.

Therefore bomb school emails with your results. If you get a good reply, legalise and send your documents.

goodluck




Bro please how much did you show as proof of funds? i am bothered truly so i dont start what i cannot finish.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Ibadan Job For N175,000 Or Kaduna Job For N259,000 : Which Should I Go For? by OdogwuHappyMan: 5:17pm On Sep 07, 2021
kingsolium:
Good morning house, pls I need your views and opinions on this subject matter.

Ok, I currently work with an FMCG Coy in Ibadan as an inventory officer where I earn N175k net on a monthly basis. It’s important to state here that I was living in Lagos prior to my getting this FMCG job.

So, I moved to Ibadan 2 months ago and currently put up with a friend in his apartment while I try to figure out how to move my stuffs to Ibadan on relocation basis. But along the line, I got a job with a big agricultural establishment affiliated to a multinational agricultural firm and I’m being offered N259k for a start excluding other benefits such as airtime(15k) which is different from my main salary.

Also note that the N259k is gross so my take home could be around N230k or thereabouts.

Now here’s the challenge. This new job is in Kaduna(the state capital) and I’ve not been to kaduna before. So, house what do you think about this. I need your candid, sincere and factual advice on this matter.

Thank you



Bro the difference between the both salary not much naa bit the difference between ur safety on both towns is so wide. Nigeria is greatly polarized between ethnicity. It's not the best time to take such risks please. If they offered you special packages like hazards, security, accommodation then it would've been considered.
Remain at your current job, another bigger offer with less relocation risk will come again.
So you mean all offers that comes your way, you try it? Make things calm down before you take such heavy risks. Remember you will be travelling always to come see your people in Lagos. Peace of mind is importanter

Thanks for your matured response though.
Prinxzona10:
Well my brother,is your own opinion and I guess the ones I've been travelling with are also fake because I wouldn't understand why Countries would be allowing me getting into their countries with fake international passports and for your information,there are some Countries you need to evaluate your passport first on arrival,via on a device been run by itself,no human assistance,then you get a paper written"OK" on it if the international passport is original,before you can now go straight to the immigration side to be attended to and once you arrive there,the first thing they would ask you is that"OK" paper because the "OK" paper signifies that you ain't using a fake international passport..eg of the Countries are South Korea,Australia etc::::So please,read up and try to be informed appropriately before making your stand on some critical matters...gracias:::
