Brother, let peace reign

DiBoss:
My dear pple, every Mallam with e kettle ooo. Do not follow some negative comments here. Germo non good, them beg u come here? Abeg carry ur bag go where good for u.

I won't advice anyone to come here with high expectations but trust me, Germany is one of the best place for studies. Ask pple in uk, Canada, us they don't only work to pay bills, majority also work to raise tuition. And here is a country that gives u first class education for free and u are there running ur mouth like broken tap.

Drop that mentality of currency conversion u are in euro zone not naira zone. I guess u are also scared to buy deodorant after ur currency conversion. I pity ur bf and class mates, u go don use body odor finish them.

I usually do not direct my post to people, but I think a member should be voted out. Her poorverty consciousness is above board. Imagine someone converting to buy banana? For food way u one eat? I imagine if u make ur hair or buy clothes. What a mentality!

My advice to incoming students, do not come with high expectations but trust me with ur part time job and full time holiday job, u can survive well.

Them beg u come Germany? Flight they to Nija everyday waiting u they wait for?

Go bath jor and buy some deodorants!

U carry ur family problem come they use discourage pple here. Germo good for me jor cos I only work to take care of my self and not thinking of tuition.

Go baf!

so na policeman put am for house, wey she dey say na better man.... na wah. i be think say i one badass lawyer like that, abi dokitor........... madam you see yourself no wonder you still dey do conversion for here.

The truth is that, a laptop is more expensive in Germany because the cost of marketing and sales is more and wages ar higher. If you display a ware n Germany, the seller will collect nothing less than 8.50 and hour while in Nigeria, that 8.50 will last for an entire day.

Note that this question is coming from someone with only the naira and have not made a dime from Germany. A laptop for 300 euros will certainly be a normal laptop of with basic features or I even bet it might be a secondhand laptop. If you convert that amount in naira, 300*370, you know the kind laptop wey you go use am buy.
@Ohaskid, buy your laptops and phones from Nigeria. A Samsung in Nigeria is the same Samsung anywhere in the world.

@eke, tnx alot.
@neville, pls pandon Schwartz for such a comment.
@Schwartz, u knw u are our only german E-baby , pls dnt take all dis personal, u knw we all appreciate ur contribution. I dnt Wana loose u here so pls hun apologize to neville 4 such a comment and let's move on. We are one big E-family. House pls no more fighting.

EKE the gods are angry with you, they consulted me but i had to plead on your behalf. Contact me ASAP before i release them to you ohhh......

All one needs to fail in life is enough pessimism, whether you are in America or Syria. Nevertheless, one's environment plays a crucial role in the full realization of potentials. I know for sure that if you can survive in Nigeria, you can survive in many parts of the world because things are really and currently tough in our Heimland. THERE IS CONFIRM HARDSHIP IN NIGERIA. Everything is expensive, the rate of unemployment soars higher with each passing year, education, the bedrock for the development of nations, is deteriorating daily and the Government seems clueless.

However, this is our country and we should not hate her but rather help her. Certainly, there are a lot of individuals on this forum who dream of aiding in the reconstruction of our nation. My prayer is that our dreams for Nigeria and not nightmares will become real. Please, the world is full of enough discouragement already. We dont want more and I must say that I am happy to know that negativity irritates us on this forum.

Yes madam. Maybe you don't know ooo but majority, if not all of your contributions on this part 3 thread have been towards the negative side. I was discussing with a group of friends who also belong to this forum and a question popped up one day- WHO IS THAT SCHWARZ? Our short conversation about you was full of resentment, disregard and disappointment. Your comments are full of hopelessness and strife.

Do you know what a corporate job in naija is now like? You go wake up 4am, leave house 5am, come house 10pm after beta workload, frustration and confirm hold-up to meet no NEPA and thereafter leave house the next day at 5am. Dont forget weekends oooo YES Saturday and Sunday. Most employers now in Naija want you to work overtime without extra pay. Forget leave ooo, the country is economizing and companies are cutting-costs, so we need you daily. On the hand, the reverse is the case in Deutschland. My uncle lives and works in Germany. In April, he was on an 8 weeks holiday here in naija. Summer holiday is coming soon ooo not to talk of Christmas breaks. These things dont happen here frequently anymore. STUDYING AND WORKING IN NAIJA ALMOST DOESN'T HAPPEN. STOP PAINTING GERMANY BLACK AND DISCOURAGING PEOPLE

Finally my guys, shopping in developed nations are beta than in Naija. Things like clothes, food, electronics are relatively affordable and have good qualities because they are manufactured in the country and are seldom imported. How many students in naija can dream of buying a good Laptop on their own? or pay house rent or health insurance without assistance? how many Nigerians are even on health insurance?

Believe is what gives hope. Hope is what drives actions and Actions are what yield results.

Alright..!

willy2000:

dude pipe down, now you are contradicting yourself. your said 300 was a lot of money now you are talking about apple product.
which one make we follow........
The reason why i said you need that prayer is, you can't be working here in Germany even if you earn less than 8.50 and still convert to naira when buying things. Besides your paracetamol analogy gave you away.
So mr Schwartz u better kabash wella so you go turn Weiß the joke is on you
STOP LYING THERE ARE NO GOOD CARS FOR 100€ haba

Schwartz is a babe not a dude .Am enjoying this

nevilbot:


Ist of all, you really made me laff with this your comment. I laffed so hard I didn't even know how to reply you. You are converting 8€ paracetamol and comparing it to Nigerian emzor and saying 350€ laptop is a China laptop. Baby girl plz go broaden your horizon and stop mingling with those who keep giving you negative stories abt Germany. It won't help you going forward. I'm a damn realist and anyone who knows me here know I say it the way it is. And mind you I don't shop on eBay neither do I pratonize Primark or flohmarkt. When you are in Germany think like a German and stop making euro to naira conversion before you buy things, it won't help u.

You keep talking abt people not getting jobs or intern slot while I keep seeing Nigerians who have gotten jobs here. Them no get two heads, think positive. #enuf said, enjoy ur summer

No! I beg to decline on this.

I think it depends on individual and their state of mind in Germany. foreigners in Nigeria do this conversion as well. its a normal thing.
its called value for money.
Are you aware that one of the reasons IMF and some other intl finance stakeholders pushed for devaluation is that things are cheap in Nigeria.
forget our issues guy, but if you look am well u will see that price is not really hiked like that. all these subsides,although masked with corruption they help in one way or the other.


now, for those who have given up on Naija, u are likely to stop converting to naira, unto say na forward ever. that does not mean if u convert, u don't think home, before una go begin raise tantrums.

but if you think home always, u fit dey reason conversion every now and then.

well, the bottom line is "value for money" . if converting to naira make you appreciate you expenditure or purchasing power, pls convert.

relate the value of your money with the society and economy that you are familiar with. money is money any where, the only issue is value.

but remember say for shoprite we buy stuffs a bit higher than price in street shops.

y? because of the AC, the lady at the counter wey dey smile like lekeleke, the ambience, their bread smell self join etc.

on this matter consider Germany as shoprite, and Naija as the street shop.

now st Louis sugar is 230 in shoprite and 200 in street shop. but note that those vegetables (ugu, water leaf, etc) in shoprite can't be compared to the ones of those market women in oja-oba.

for example, shop rite sell a wrap of dead and discouraging ugu leaves for 500, and iyalode in ojaoba sell same sized wrap of fresh and green ugu leaves for 50 naira.
mind you na just to wash very well and cook ooo, except say shoprite dey wash their own with dettol.

so people, all there is ,in this discuss is value for money.

people wey dey talk this and DAT about buying their stuff in Germany still import garri and other stuffs when dey have the opportunity or have their folks send stuffs to them.
well I know African food is sold any where in this world because our Igbo brother must do business. abi no be so?

but, make I talk true, I no fit buy a cup of ijebu garri for 50euros, if at all say I do am. I go cry for like 10mins......

VALUE is all there is!

Lol see how everyone is attacking one person. I don't see anything wrong with what she's said IMO.

She's not being negative, she's just being realistic. She never said no one should come to Germany, she's only just trying to let you all know that it isn't all bed of roses there.

I like reading her contributions to this thread because she tells it how it is. I wouldn't want to go there with the impression that things will go smoothly and it turns out rough, I'd rather go with the impression that I'll struggle to keep body and soul together, it'll help keep me focused and determined.

You'll should take it easy, I don't find her posts discouraging at all, they're enlightening. It'll give you ideas on how to survive.

My opinion of course, we're all entitled to it.

That said, I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone for their contributions to the thread. Please keep them coming, they're all very helpful.

Thanks

uchezdedon:


Can you please stop being so aggressive. Nobody is quarreling with you, i don't know why you are taking things too personal. I can say it over and over again that Germany is one of the best countries. if you feel that you don't like the system you can relocate, and stop discouraging most people. If you cant be corrected then stop commenting here, i don't even know when you started existing here. You correct people and get offended when being corrected showing that you know it all

.


I think she should take a break

I believe they were offended when she personally attacked someone instead of constructive criticism and discuss. She was wrong and the fellows were also wrong to attack back. All in all, let peace reign on this
thread.
As for me let laptop be 1000 Euros, E-bay never extinct na . #GermanDream

That one concern una. Me, Armaniii, if Germany like make e turn to iraq or turkey, Nothing by the Grace of God will stop me from entering there come september. I am yet to see any Nigerian that came back after a year or 2 he/she left for Germany. I never even see anybody wey come back after school say him dey come find work for here. If germany was that bad, All those ppl going after a second MSc wouldn't do such. Them for don come back since. As for me, i just dey picture myself as me n ma friends dey step into Hamburg with our german friends shouting willkomen Una doo o

How many days does it take EMS to deliver documents to Germany?I sent documents to uni asist on monday 4/7/2016 via EMS.

The lady I met there told me that it takes seven working days;unfortunately FGN extended the public holidays by a day;now I have six working days left before the deadline(15 July).

I have been trying to track the documents online without success and thei customer care line is not connecting.

EMS is 5 working days. Probably the holiday delayed it from leaving Nigeria, so assume Today as the 1st or 2nd working day gone(not sure of my maths here). To track your file check this link: wheremy.com/ems-post-tracking/ input your tracking number and view the results.
The 9ja EMS site tracking system ain't legit.
By next week your file should be in Germany. Mine got to germany on the 3rd day, passed through custom check etc, then reached the final destination on the 5th working day morning.

cc Willy2000 my oga which school ooo

please can somebody help me i need to apply to study in germany for language course because i dont have english proficiency. please i need a quick answer before it close.

Hello my gud people of this thread. I v been reading your contributions and I am motivated the more in my quest to move out of Nigeria. The situation in Nigeria now is beyond wat prayers alone can solve but a proactive action. Imagine me finishing NYSC and still can't secure a job since last year July till now because I don't have people there. Now, I discovered from nairaland that Germany offers free tuition for masters. But I don't know how to Kickstart the process to come there through educational means. I know situation might not be rosy as expected, but I believe if I can come to Germany, any condition I I'll find myself there I'll be better than my entire life in Nigeria since. Please how easily it it for one to get something doing there after studies with a degree in international relations? Is it easy for one to enroll for phd in Switzerland after masters in Germany? which area in Germany should I be considering for my course and prospects of finding something doing no matter how little to support life. I v checked schools offering international relations and found uni Stuttgart, uni Hamburg, Frei university of Berlin, Humboldt university, Marburg university. Which do you think I'll be suitable for me? I really need your responses brothers

I am just trying to let you know that the new law takes effect from this winter, and if you like make e be say you don fund your account since last year, you are required to show €8640 before visa is granted. Lets wait and see.

@UNCLE, are you trying to tell us that those awaiting visa with €8040 in there account, that with this amount for winter 2016, that their visa will not be issued until they upgrade to new amount? Need more clarification.
