Bros did you read the admission requirement for that school at all? You stand no chance with O level result for Bsc. Generally speaking for a Bsc. course you need 1 yr University transcript or HND transcript to be able to stand a chance with admission. Apart from that Rhine Waal requests for a minimum of 80 ibt TOEFL. Do you have that as well? It is clearly stated that they wont waiver on that. Please dont waste your money paying Uni Assist because your application must pass through them for a fee.

@Oye50, you are not fully correct. With some schools it is clearly stated that the authentication / certification must come from the German Embassy in your home country.

ok then. That's the only difference, since they specify but if they don't, high court certification will do. Thanks for the indication though

For all those that intend enrolling in Goethe Institute, they already began classes for this session since 20th April and registration ends by May 8th. Also there are no morning classes available anymore. Just afternoon and evening classes. So hurry yl u can. Thanks

Dahjhi:
I also needed answer to this house. I also Certified mine with a Notary Public and I will be applying with just my OLevel for like 3 Bsc in Rhein Waal University of Applied Sciences. Please is it a must to still take it to the German Embassy for certification?

you don't need to go to the embassy for your certification. And going to the embassy doesn't make the certification more authentic than the one you do elsewhere, infact it doesn't boost your chances. All they need to know is if what you are sending is a true copy of the original. That's all. I did mine in an high court in ife for 100# per page and I was admitted to all the schools in germany that I applied. So best of luck to u bro

Virtually everybody born before the invention of the internet must have heard the tale of a nonexistent football match between Nigeria and India that obviously took place in a parallel universe and somehow we got to hear the gory stories of that match.

Though there are many variations of the story, every prevaricator seems to agree on a couple of facts about this fictional football match. Each storyteller agrees that;

1. This match ended with India scoring 99 goals and Nigeria scoring just one goal.
2. Nigerians where unable to kick the ball because the football kept turning to a lion (or something scary) to prevent them from playing the soccer ball.
3. The Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score a goal, they would concede defeat
4. Samuel Okwaraji scored the winning goal and lost his life in the process.
5. FIFA banned India from soccer because they used black magic in that very game
With the help of common sense (not that it was absent back then), quick access to information and the internet, every right thinking Nigerian has come to realize that such a story should be filled under “Blatant Lies”.

Why Did This Story Thrive For So Long?

Most people like to pass off this story as true with the fact that no one has ever seen India in an International Football Match. Since no one actually saw India participate in most international soccer games, this gave a little credence to the story. India
Another reason this lie could thrive for long was the fact that credible information was not readily available at our finger tips. It not like every Emeka, Audu and Ojo could visit Google in a matter of minutes and tell our ominous fabricators that they should stop spreading toxic lies.
And to be honest we have a tingling feeling that this lie was concocted by an elder of a community because, let’s be honest who questions the words of the elders in Nigeria. Remember, what an adult sees sitting down a child will never see even if he consults Google, Siri or Cortana.
The Element of Truth In This Story

On the 12th of August 1989, Nigeria lost Sam Okwaraji.

Sam Okwaraji was the player rumored to have lost his life in that game when in truth he died during a FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Angola in the 77th minute.
He collapsed and died of cognitive heart failure. May his soul rest in Perfect Peace. AMEN
So that is the only truthful thing about that story, the fact that a Nigerian player died during a football match. That’s it. The match was not against India, we did not lose the match and as you must have guessed, and there were no lions either.
What Is The Deal With India Anyway?

India qualified for the 1950 FIFA world cup as a result of the withdrawal of their scheduled opponents. But the Indian football governing body, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) decided against going to the world cup, being unable to understand the importance of the event at that time.
Some of the Reasons shown by the AIFF included the cost of travel, lack of practice time, team selection issued and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World cup. It should be noted that FIFA agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses, but it did not really help their decision making.
Was India Banned For Refusing To Play Barefoot?

No.
The 1948 London Olympics was India’s first major international tournament, where a predominantly barefoot Indian team lost 2 -1 to France.
Following the 1948 Olympics FIFA imposed a rule banning barefoot play.
The belief that the Indian team refused to play because they were not allowed to play barefoot is not entirely true according to the then team captain who said it was just a story to cover the disastrous decision of the AFIF.
After the 1950 fiasco, India has never come close to qualifying for the World Cup.
The reason you do not see India in World Cup competitions is because they do not qualify
So Does The Indian Team Wear Soccer Boots?

Yes.
In the 1952 Olympics, the Indian team lost 10 – 1 to Yugoslavia (talking about taking a beating). As a result of this magnanimous defeat the AIFF made it compulsory for its team members to wear boots
Is it Possible to win a match with a 99 – 1 match margin?

Yes.
It is absolutely possible to rake 99 – 1 from a single football match. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and see how this is even possible. Now allow us to digress.
The highest scoring soccer game was 149-0!
You’re probably wondering how a soccer team could be so bad that they let 149 goals be scored, but the truth is it was a form of protest. The event occurred in 2002 after a 2-2 draw between rival teams Stade Olympique de L’emyrne, or SOE, and AS Adema of Madagascar, which resulted in the referees awarding a penalty causing SOE to lose the game.
During a match fixing debacle in Nigeria, the Feeders scored 72 of their 79-0 victory in 45 minutes of play. Police Machine scored 61 of their 67-0 victory in the second half. At one point, they scored four goals in a minute.
Arbroath won Bon Accord 36 – 0 in 1885. It held the largest margin of victory in professional football where both sides wanted to win.
So, yes, given the “right circumstances”, a team could actually receive 99 – 1 beating without any black magic whatsoever.

GoldHorse:


I am in the same situation with you but I am leaning toward Hohenhiem unless sth changes. Though Goettingen is said to be a better school (something like Unilag and Lasu when compared to Hohenhiem) but 1. Hohenhiem guaranty international students accommodation in their first year; 2. hohenhiem is in Stuttgart and Stuttgart is more metropolitan than Goettingen; like Benin and Ekpoma. Prospect of job and integration will be much easier especially for students that might find extra cash necessary.

Apart from that University of Hohenhiem started majorly as an Agricultural school and I am going for an Agricultural course. So you have to decide based on several factors according to your "condition". Moreover, I am sure most German school, if not all, are of very good standard.

Thanks man. Suggestions are helpful

Eke40seven:

A friend just resumed there for this summer semester. Development Econs. and she happens to have another Nigerian friend in same department. Check the department....
Hohenheim, Stuttgart is a better, bigger and a more international city with a far better job prospects for English speakers (a lot of English speakers) but Göttingen is a better and more renowned school.

Thanks bro. The two just seems so good that I'm not sure which to choose yet but I'm sure when the time comes na to choose sha

you should have paid much attention while signing. It's a document you'll be using for 5 years. But I'll suggest you try and learn the pattern u use over and over again. With time u should again perfection. Also, go to the embassy and try signing the best way you can. They'll tell u if they accept it or not but be positive bro

Hello Everyone,This is my first time writing here even though i read this forum a lot. However,i appreciate everyone's comment in this forum..i arrived Duestchland weeks back precisely 4th of April for summer term.

Anybody already in Göttingen or coming to Göttingen for winter(I asked because i see myself as the only Nigerian here so far and not so many blacks around)

My course of study is MSC(Tropical and international forestry) at The University of Göttingen.

I have admission in the school as well as in Hohenheim but I'm still contemplating on which to choose. I've contacted Nigerian students in Hohenheim to get a feel of the place but I'm yet to see any from Goettingen, maybe I'll hear more from you. I'll also send you a pm to talk to you regularly. All the best bro

Thats why your women keep thinking they are doing you a favour when they give you sex. Because they know most of you have the trait of rapists, peadophiles,animal lovers and homo syndrom in your dna. How you people even go as far as sleeping with mad women on the streets is beyond me. its seems you want whats happening in south africa where every four out of ten pregnant women are hiv positive. You are a senseless he goat. Next time when i give responsible women advice on how to protect themselves from monkeys like you, do yourself a favor to take lessons or shut the hell up. educated illiterate.

This will be the last reply I'll give u. Cos this ranting shows you are mentally unstable. Lemme analyze your stupidity to you
You accusing guys in the first place shows how little your thinking is, also it shows that women can take you for a ride or even think they are doing you a damn favor by dating u, when u are worthless in your own sight. Also, blaming any gender is way silly. I've got many things to do and I blame myself for entering into this shit with a baby like you. Also, you claiming all those rubbish about SA, how's that men's fault. Why are you just this foolish. Haba

koyyes:

i said it that its either you are stuupid or you are high on some cheap drugs. Do you expect me to believe your shiity story? Even if your story is true then you are like a foolish soldier who is fighting a war that is not his. ofcourse your brain is too messed up to comprehend what i mean. senseless pained f@ggot.

And to tell u another thing, your dumb skull don't know about. Calabar is one of the state with the highest record of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, go there for a month and you'll see what ladies do. Only then can you come here and talk reasonably. Nit wit

who cares if the silly you believe or not, if you weren't so dumb to have mentioned about my status. What's my business talking about it in the first place. I stand by what I'm saying that you are so dumb to the point that you blame the fact that HIV rate in Nigeria is growing, on men alone. So disgusting and myopic. All this small boys self go come de raise shoulder for forum when you should still be in lesson taking notes. Idiot

I finally said to myself, that I've got so much a potential to live life that way. The best way to prove to an uncaring father is by making it with your own sweat. Besides I'm personally doing fine. At least, I can boast of having over a million all by myself so I practically don't need to do that to be so great in life. In the nearest future I can come boldly to him and say, I made it with or without your support. I initially got pissed with his attitude but my conscience won't allow me. Thanks everyone for your contributions

Even an im*becile would know I was reasoning with responsible females with brains in their head and not those you patronize and surround yourself with. Health is wealth, do you know your hiv/aids status? Better do and stop reasoning with your anus. Stupiiid oaf.

you are the most stupid guy I've seen in recent times. I'm too enlightened not to be sure about my status. Mind u I do that every 3 months and I also stick to a loyal partner. So all this rubbish u talk don't count. It is someone like you that is even carrying the disease and he's afraid to enter a NACA Centre and you come here with a holier than thou attitude. I just pity you with the mosquito brain that you carry. Nitwit

Which board are you looking at? Unless, maybe at the parallel market, I did $$$ Fx Transactions through GT & Stanbic yesterday at N206 and N199.9 respectively.

But to answer your question, the fundamentals are in support of a stronger NGN, so it is advisable you buy Naira now.

Please I want to know if the said banks sold the currency to you or you sold to them. I heard from someone that they don't sell. I want to fund my dorm account but the BDC rates are rip off

The fear of hiv/aids and the constant popping of pills is the beginning of wisdom. If you are a woman and you are single, don't allow desperation lead you to form ties with a dog who hops from one brothel to the other or have multiple partners. Do not settle for less. Its either you are with a resposible man or you adopt kids and remain healthy. Don't listen to any miscreant that comes on NL to talk trash. Most of them are disease carriers. You should see the number of overnight mad women in psychiatric homes/villages. You should see the number of women in the hospitals treating different kinds of disgusting diseases they got from their husbands just because they want to keep wearing a rusted ring. So many women are suffering in silence. How on earth wouuld you explain to people that you divorced your husband or that you broke up with your boyfriend because he infected you with HIV/AIDS? A word is enough for the wise.

you are so dumb to blame this on men alone. Some dude are just so myopic. I'm sure all you needed is NL likes mumu

Nigeria is only behind South Africa which has around 6 million people living with HIV.

why not compare Nigeria's total population to that of SA and you know that this figure isn't so alarming

Richy4:


The story that comes to mind will be that of the prodigal son.......

just pulse a little and listen to yourself. in what way have you served your father enough?

if he was a poor man, won't you struggle to make your own money? please start acting like he is poor and do your own thing your own way. do not depend on him. so that in future when he tries to run your life when you are successful, you can always remind him to pack well. just let his wealth be. but if he agrees to help, fine. and good-luck

I think you've got a point, in as much as I would just look at the other way and act as though he's a poor man. It hurts to see ones father being in a positing to take you out of struggle but he's turning deaf ears, rather he's spending somewhere else. I know the Bible too, so don't compare this to the prodigal son. According to that story, the child may have been too demanding. We haven't demanded anything outrageous from him. I bet you if you were in my shoes, you wouldn't think my decision twice. My perspective to life is, the hurdles a father a scaled through in life, the children automatically overcome such. Do you know what it feels like associating with a rich man and pretending he's poor, and to make matters worse he's your dad. Everyone sees you as the most ok dude in town, yet you hustle for everything you've got yourself. I'll think about your point but I hope you get mine as well

I need to add, he's a polygamist. All these came up cos he had his latest wife about 8 years ago. All the kids (3) lives in Holland (place of birth) and we in Nigeria (6), he care less about us. We finally felt we've served him enough. Though we are educated but we feel this is an avenue to take our share of him Cos right now the woman in Holland who is also a Nigerian own him now [my personal thought)

I've got a dad who is stingy giving out money. He's not broke, he's Infact a millionaire. Anything apart from cash relating to school isn't his business. myself and the eldest son help him out with his business activities even when he's out of the country. No matter the business plan you present to him (our dad) or anything that could be of help to you and make u prosper on a long run that involves him bringing out cash, which we all know he's more than capable, he'll say he doesn't have money. The question now is, we have planned to get our share by getting away with some millions on the next business we're to help him with. I've been thinking day and night if it's a cool thing to do. Don't come and abuse me or tell me I'm a this or that cos u may not understand it well enough. I'm not wayward, he trusts me cos I've neva taken his kobo but it's just getting crazy by the day. I just want to hear u guys talk. Thanks

It used to be face to face inside the main building upstairs where u go into d same office with the V.O and av a nice discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. But after during the Ebola scare of late last year,d changed it to outside d main building over d telephone.

I did my inside but wia Eva dey eventually use, just go prepared and knock dem out. The ova d phone stuff could even b a plus to those who are bolder over d phone and sweat in a face to face setting

Thanks boss

The burden is on you to tell which yor0ba state is a quarter as developed as Lagos ? Below are pictures of Ibadan the regional capital of the y0robas which is a big under developed slum.

U should post a picture of ebonyi state here too. Mind u ebonyi is closest to enugu which is the biggest state in SE, yet the land is the 3rd poorest in Nigeria. I served there and I can tell u that the only make sense place which is the capital Abakaliki, is no where near Ile Ife in Osun state. My question is when u guys were developing Lagos as u claim. Have u gone so dumb to leave your states so backward

sinizia:


I'm an Igbo guy and I'm quoting you. The tripe you spewed above is uncalled for. Let this madness stop. This sort of post will end up heating up an already doused tension. This is how Tutsi and Hutus genocide started. APC have come out to apologize and calm frayed nerves, denying the Oba's words were from them. That to me is enough to forgive and let go.

My Igbo brothers, please forgive and forget. The Oba doesn't speak for APC. Reading Tinubu's speech has calm down my anger. Let's vote whomever we deem fit. Don't deny Ambode or Jimi their chance to rule because of the Oba's momentarily madness. The Oba speak for himself, please ignore him.

Bro if I knew you personally, I'll make all effort to be your friend cos you're such an intelligent man. No one is saying igbos can't vote for whoever but what we're saying is pls don't let your decisions be base on what the oba said period
