It is funny how peeps who have never been to an airport before nor held an international passport will be dishing advice to those travelling out. He should avoid the west germans because they are racist, what an ignorant statement. By the way is it even possible to avoid ones host? Smh mr know it all

Lmao,
It's not longer East Germans but West Germans

Braket:
Thank you all for your comments. Nice having you around.

There is nothing much to update about now.

Preparations are on going towards my forthcoming travel. I have been trying to contact people living in the state I am going to. I am doing this so that I can save costs of having to stay in hotel or hostel before I start my own housing contract.

I understand that where to rest one's head is always a problem when moving to another country or even state, so I am not really worried because I am so positive all will be well.

I haven't really gotten things I will be taking to Germany because I am lazy and confused about buying the items I need especially wears. Most times, I will leave home for the market to get the items, but I often end up not getting anything because I don't really like what I see and they are over priced.

Joohan. I understand your point but I think it's safe to say racism is a universal problem and I feel it isn't even by geopolitical zone in Germany not after Jigba 's recent racist experience. But all in all God dey.

Braket:

I laughed when I saw it. But then what do I know. Even the laws in East are stricter than anywhere else

Jigba:


Try to connect with people living in your intended city.

If you are moving to a big city, goodluck finding an apartment, cause it's really hard and costly too!. Try to look for shared apartments, since you are a student. You could start now to search on eBay and send enquiries. It would be great to have german flat mates, that way you could improve your German. Also, be aware of scammers!. Do not pay for an apartment you haven't seen.



If you can connect with any Nigerian student living in the city you are moving to, it would be great.

For things to buy, I don't think you need much clothes. Maybe a lot of jeans and a jacket would do.

As for foodstuffs, I would say you should get egusi, ogbono, dried fish, dried pepper and stock cube. Unfortunately, that's all I can remember for now. Even if you can't get other foodstuffs, try to get egusi, Ogbono and Maggi. You could easily get other things in afro shops/Asian supermarket if you will be living in a big city. There are even Asian supermarket in smaller cities.

Also, don't get toiletries. They are really cheap here.

Braket:

Thanks for the pointers.
I have been connecting with Nigerian students in my state and as it stand i have a contact in my city. As per accommodation, I should have a Studenwerk hostel contract that will be starting in April before this week tuns out hopefully.

Thanks for the list as well. I will never joke with egusi, ogbono, garri and even beans lol. Likewise I will be coming with our local black soap and shea butter as per team natural.

Should I buy enough perfumes? Because a friend told me they are kinda expensive in Germany and even hair cream.

Keep me posted as you remember things I might need to save cost in the first few months please.
Danke Schön

Jigba:


Perfumes are cheap, the one I'm using is even less than 2 Euros. If you mean designer perfumes then it's not cheap.

Hair shampoo/conditioner are really cheap here too. The only thing you should get is maybe hair cream. Except you are keeping your natural hair, then it's expensive. You mustn't use the natural hair products, cause it's expensive.

Studentenwerk? Then you are lucky!. Their apartments are really cheap.

Garri and beans could be get in afro stores, you could get the one you would eat for the first few months.

You see, that's why I don't like to advice people on this forum.

I have lived across five different European countries, (including Germany, France and Italy) and when you try to give others the reality on ground, those who have never seen an airport will be the one urging them on and saying one is a hater. And I don't like to say much. One even said it's because didnt work for me while another said I should mind my own business which I have rightly done.

And no Mr Op. I was in an Erasmus mundus Program but I don't remember saying I got an Erasmus scholarship.


Bon chance
