Braket, if you want to learn the language quickly, befriend a girl in your school who speaks english, even if it's little english...

hahahaha ......my brother it is not easy to befriend anybody here oh, unlike testimonies I have read on the USA thread. This introvert people.

smoothvee:
Awesome thread bro.. as sweet as jigba ‘s own. Me that jigba is going to pick from the airport

Heheheh.. bro do bicycles cost much??

There are different types of bicycles here and they can cost as much as 2000 euros, these are electronic ones though. We got a neatly used mountain bicycle(it has about 10 gears) one from[sub][/sub] an app called shpock for 70 euros.

And you could ride a bicycle without owing one for free with NextBike as long as you are a student and the bicycle is returned within an hour of renting it.

Jigba:


Bro, I'm jealous. You learned how to ride a bicycle in a day?!. I've tried so many times to learn in our compound at home but it didn't work ..

I have tried many times while I was still in Nigeria but I failed woefully. I never expected it tho

Do not give up and when next you try, learn how to balance first and never look at the floor while riding else you will end up falling. Just keep trying and have an open mind.

willy2000:

You just have to overcome the fear of falling, I also learned how to ride bicycles here in just a day and so far I have not had any accidents. Well, now I am a Pro. I ride without my hands on the bicycle.

Na you oh. I can ride with one hand off. What I want to learn is how to ride while standing.

Thank you, will really try it this summer holiday. I hope I get it this time around..

well too bad.

in my case, I'm learning arabic, and sometimes i don't get to practice it. but then i made friends with this gurl from saudi, and I tell you, when we are talking, the words just come out from my mouth and I'd be like wow! so I'm this good.

she understands some english so anytime i struggle with a word she says, she translates for me.

but it doesn't have to be a girl, make a lot of guy friends, and i mean cool chill guys. even if they speak english, insist on speaking german with them, although you will flop most of the times, but that's how we all learn... from our mistakes.

i find it funny that you're just learning how to ride a bicycle. LOL.

The earliest I can remember of me riding a bicycle was primary 1/2

Chaiii Bicycle we learned how to ride when I was 10yrs old lol u try no be small. As at then I can carry a full Gallon of water at the back and ride it.

Once you know how to ride, no matter how long you stay out of riding, it will never leave you.

But not without falling multiple times.

I understand. I am trying it presently with a flatmate that speaks well but we have not found the right approach to give it sha.

I bet my brain could not carry how to ride a bicycle while I was young tho .

Something foolish just happened.

I have been experiencing a lot of theft here. One will think the almighty white skins do not steal
The bicycle that I borrowed from a fellow Nigerian so that I could learn how to ride has been stolen between yesterday and today. The craziest thing is that I still saw the old bicycle yesterday evening when I was parking the bicycle I went out with.
I think I need to mention that there has been a lot of petty stealing going on here. Some months ago, the head and rear lamps of all the bicycles in the parking lot were stolen.

Even on my floor, there have been cases of missing Yoghurts, cheese, cooked foods and thankfully only my almost finished orange juice has been stolen and I am very sure deep down their heart, it is the Black man that is doing the stealing because I am the only coloured one on this floor

...

Sorry, they will really think it is you that is stealing when it is one of their companions, make sure you lock your stuff well if possible with chain.

Braket:
...

Toilet/Bathroom nko, after you use it they will go and clean and disinfect it as if you are very dirty or have HIV.

I'm sorry, I laughed out loud ....

Hope your bicycle had lock?. Stealing of bicycle is really common here!.

Also, how many roomates do you have?. Is there a possibility to keep your fruits in your room and only buy what you need at a time?

Hello everyone nice thread here and I enjoy every bit of it. Please I’m new to this and I will appreciate if you can put me through on how to go about German student visa. I have a B.tech computer engineering, I have GRE and Toefl. Please help a brother

Toilet these people will use the toilet and just to push the button to flush is war for them. Countless times I have met the toilet messed up.

Yeah. The bicycle that was stolen had a lock on it

There are 18 flatmates on my floor. 9 to the left and 9 to the right.
Yes fruits can be stored in my room but then I need to keep them refrigerated. Sometimes I do not go out or end up at the store so it's pretty difficult buying what I need at a time.
Plus the thief has made people to start dieting no ice cream or yogurt

Why don't you get Tinder or a similar app and match with ladies around you. It's the easiest way to meet ladies in a new country.

We have discussed this several times someone even reported to the house mistress she said nothing she can do.

Funny day was the girl they stole her cooked food. She knocked everyone's door that very day

The thief hasn't stopped. He or she wants to die fast (which I came with rat poison ) just discovered one of my apples has been stolen and it got replaced with shey cheese abi sausage (I only it the rubbish when I am served outside).

Lol, I could imagine how she felt. Do you cook and store in fridge or the thief doesn't like Nigerian meals?. I wouldn't even keep anything edible in the kitchen anymore, cause I'm not sure if someone had tampered with it or not. If I were you, these remaining apples are going straight in the bin!..

It's cheese not sausage . Since the thief left cheese for you, I don't want to assume what he or she looks like! ..

Your mistress should really do something about it. I'm sure every one of you is accusing each other secretly..

All my foods are Nigerian foods and they never for once touch either stew or ogbono not even beans.
Recently I stopped eating those because I am tired of it and now my stuffs becomes missing.

My only prayer is to be caught in the act.

Mistress? She has nothing to do. The only solution is camera and it's not legal in the living room.

I bet everyone will think it's mean because I have only complained of missing something once and as per the stereotyping nah.

It's always everyday for the theif and one day for the owner, nothing lasts forever

Bro , you mean, you live in a house with 18 rooms on a floor and the house mistress cannot arrange a locked refrigerator. You better start looking for something better, because once it is winter you won't like going to the supermarket always.

That person definitely doesn't like Nigerian meals or isn't used to it. If the person had stolen your beans, he/she would have regretted it, lol .

I too get bored of Nigerian meals sometimes ..

Like willy stated earlier, look for another place to stay. I know it's hard to find an apartment here but you should really try!.

Also, try to keep your fruits in a tray in your room!. I don't really keep mine in the fridge and nothing happens to it..

Sure. Will be canceling my contract soon. But I think that idea of locking refrigerator sef will narrow down the search for the thief

I won't even be sure the person hasn't tried my Nigerian food. But trust me he or she will regret it because my foods are spicy

I am moving out of here very soon.

What do you often cook apart from Nigerian dishes? I am tired of rice and bread every glorious day. In fact I am tired of chicken. Fellow housemates have mocked me tire each time I fry chicken (Chicken again or rice everyday? ) the fish skinny fishes in Lidl costs €4.99 for two.

Henceforth no charity again. Every fruit stays in the room.

I don't eat anything except Nigeria meals. Though I get bored sometimes but I don't really have any alternative. I'm even tired of chicken. Haven't eaten it in like two months. The chicken here isn't tasty, I'm sure you've noticed that.

Buying fish is cheaper in Asian stores. There is an Asian store around the main station. I think, there are actually two.....

I cook yam and also Irish potatoes. Spaghetti and plantain. Also Nigeria soups. Don't tell me you've only been eating rice ....
