Please make sure the the money is in the range of 4million naira.
For your other questions, just browse through the thread, you will see the answers u need.
There's nothing PGD in German education system, just try your luck with another Bachelor degree. Be ready to give a convincing reason for your bad performance and why u want to study the course you are applying. German universities are free tuition except for the ones in Baden-Württemberg State. Hmmm, Just Go to Daad.de and check out the courses and schools for your chosen field and stay glued on this thread too.
Sorry for your dad loss, Good luck


Oh thanks....I appreciate.

Good people. Long post coming through!!!!!!!!

First of all, I give all Glory to God. I started this journey with Him and He never left me at any point in time. Let us always appreciate our gurus in Germany who always take out time to come here and pitch in one or two advise. Trust me, its far from easy. I have been here 2 days now, and I don tire for waka! Haven't gotten my semester ticket, so I dey trek more than 8kms in total everyday. on the plus side, I will use it as exercise.

Here is my travel story......
Abuja airport people wanted to act film by asking me for yellow card (something I have never heard of until Saturday evening ahead of my sunday flight). I just confidently told the guy Germany doesn't require yellow card. He looked at me with one kind eye and all of a sudden 500naira jumped out of my pocket and into his hands.
Left Abuja airport sunday 1:25pm flight Ethiopian airlines (my first flight experience and it was as smooth as it can ever be. Although take-off fit give person HBP. I even saw an air hostess praying seriously during take-off. So I wondered, if she's used to it and yet still panics during take-off, me nko? Lol. All in all, it was smooth. You haven't flown until you've flown in a Boeing 787 dreamliner and Airbus A350-900.
Landed in Addis-Ababa, 2hrs55mins layover, then boarded to Frankfurt. Landed in Frankfurt 3:30am (Nigerian time), 5:30am Local time. I stayed at the airport for more than 5 hours waiting for a friend who flew Emirates, not knowing he had landed and left the airport. Boarded a train directly from the airport to Freiburg for 69euros (I didn't budget for that o!). Smooth speed train. It was a 3hr ride to Freiburg. Arrived and couldn't find my hostel and getting directions was difficult as it seems like MOST Germans are always on the move. Difficult to stop someone and ask for directions. It would seem like you're costing him money. So if I want to ask for directions, I go into a store or shop, meet the receptionist, and they will gladly and joyfully direct you. Germans are nice, courteous and ready to help. You could spit on someone and the person would still apologise to you! (Pls don't do that).
I got lost so so so many times, until I remembered someone posted DB navigator here sometime. So to the glory of God, getting lost has ended.

My people, learn German before coming o!!! You dont have to be a pro, but learn the basics. Salutations, gratitude. It would help you right from the airport. I am still struggling with the necessary registrations and unblocking but so far so good. It isn't very cold yet, but for someone who has been in Nigeria all his life, it is cold!!!!!!
All in all, it is a great place to live and study. Clean environment. Imagine downloading at 10mb per second?? Cool yeh?
Lastly, face your studies people. We all know how hard it was to get to where we are, so let's not throw all that away for some reason.

Goodluck to people awaiting AM and also to all summer applicants.
Tchuss!!!!!

Thanks for the quick response, I used BA for my interview which has been blocked. I also submitted an enrollment extension letter during my interview at the embassy. Just staring at my email for an update from the embassy all day long is not helping at all.
Have you sent mail to them requesting for an update. I did mine on 20th also. My enrollment deadline is also 31st. I Mailed them Monday morning and got my AM in the afternoon. Please do that also if you've not done so. You never can tell

TedExNairaland:
Please the summary of my true situations is this.

1) I graduated with a 3rd class in Estate management

2) because I use to be in a private school before I left in at my 3rd yr, after the death of my late dad, I cldnt continue after his death due to finance. Mumsy cldnt afford my school fee because she wasn't working and we are five children. So i had to restart in a government uni after hustling for 2yrs.

3) in gaining admission with the hope of going for NYSC, I reduced my age and trust government uni, strike was a problem and again, my course was 5yrs.

Now these are my questions.

1) Will I be able to do a PGD with my grades and won't my age contradict when my transcript age is different from the age on my waec result.
Won't it affect my admission or visa application?

2) will it be advisible to go and restart a fresh BSc there, bearing in mind that I am above 30yrs now?

3) when applying for international passport, what age should I use, My waec age(real) or my affidavits age (university/Transcript).

4)Can anybody recommend any cheap university there in germany. Likes some of their cheapest english spoken universities.

Finance is not the problem anymore. Popsy's benefits has been paid which is more than enough and mumsy is willing sponsor me to move out.

Will appreciate your candid advise.
1. Nothing like PGD in Germany so u can try BSc or MSC
2. U can apply for both BSc and MSC anyone u get u fire down
3. Na u sabi wetin u like use but make sure the age tally

4. Bros oos all public schools in Germany are affordable so marry daad.De

I paid 215k Abuja to Frankfurt and it was just a 2hr55mins layover. Those taking advantage of Emirates student promo, make sure you check the layover time before you buy the ticket. That is how I almost bought an Emirates ticket withthe student promo and it had a layover period of 23hrs.
Your best option is to plan your flight for tuesday, wednesday or thursday. Tickets are cheaper if you are flying during the week. Good luck.
