SooCute:
I'd count it "Sinful" to migrate to DE and completely ignore this house that made me. This is my base.
Yes i'm still in my first month anyway. So i'm pretty new here.

I came here because i got a few stuffs to share...just for those who didn't know already.

1. When you enter here with Block Account, Anybody that is legal and works in Europe can give you Support letter for preceding extensions/renewal . Yes. You don't necessarily need someone who lives and works in DE for that.
NB: This is the case in Bayern where i study and live....

2. Before you come here......L E A R N G E R M A N. Not as if you will die if you don't.
But imagine being hungry and don't know how to order for food?
Imagine not being able to read signs like "Entrance and Exit, Rauche oder nicht Rauche?" the list is endless...
Imagine being in a train but don't know how to tell someone to remind you when you get to your station? Because the "computer" announcing Bahnhoffs says it in German!
Imagine stepping on someone but can't say "tut mir sehr leid"?
Imagine missing your way (Which is common) and don't know how to ask or take directions? You can't yell bro..
Imagine going to grocery stores and don't even know how to ask where you can find certain thing? Or you can't read or guess-read what's on label? Your mom wouldn't be there to savage. But once you can say "Entschuldigung Sie" a typicall Deustche will reply "Bitte" then you wrap German. It might take a little for you to hear their own German, but at least, you can express yourself with your crude german and they can understand you....that's communication


3. Most of the time, the people that discriminate you (Racist) are not Germans. I can bet my rent on this. Other nationalities who came as you came do! Germans are pretty simple people from my experience. They are supper warm and welcoming....Always asking "Was kann ich fur Sie tun? Brauchen Sie hilfe?

4. If you are like us that have finished school many years and starting over....mehn....start reading again. Re-activate your brain. I mean, read reasonable stuffs that really revamps your brain. Not some Instagram posts. You need to come up to par. It will help you when you come here.

5. Normally, what's actually different is "Method". The lecturers here are fast...kinda. But you'll be fine trust me. If a dumb ass like me can answer questions in Maths, Physics and Statistics classes (Even though i had a HND in Mechanical Engineering from home) while those whites mop at me, then you should do better. Key: Don't be intimidated, don't be proud either. All of us de hustle.

6. If you are coming here with SL, Come with money that can sustain yo for some months, couple of winter suits (If you are coming during winter) and food!
Yes. I regretted buying clothes from Nigeria. It's personal. Though a bit expensive (Even though there are cheap stores), stuffs here are of standard. But imagine me coming here with no single maggi cube? I burnt cash already on food since i came.
It will take you little time to discover the economic way of feeding here especially if you are like me who doesn't have someone here to show me the way....

7. Be nice. Don't spoil the reputation of Nigerians. If you do, they will reduce our slots and God no go forgive you.
Here.....things work. The system is organized and kinda of ordered.
Germans are courteous and sehr nett. Don't come here and block another person future abeg. Don't be notorious. Its nobody's business you Say?, Hell no! It's our business how you behave. Save the innocent Nigerians reputation.

8. Studying Engineering and trying to hammer at the same sequence is almost too hard. You go fail for class. Take it easy. Don't come with high-false-hopes of "Once i enter, i am hammer ".Tell those you borrowed from to chill a while biko.
What you can earn here is about 450 Euro per Month which can cater for your basic needs...as poor man wey i be. Once you finish and land a job.....then yo can Ronaldo all you can.

9. Get prepared for the hustle. It's not what you see in pictures. Get your mind prepared. Come prepared. No one has your time here. No one cares about your show-off. Even the Mercedes that dropped me from train station to my place was intimidating. Cars are toys here unlike in 9ja.


10. About chasing women or men.... well, i haven't seen any woman yet that can take my baby's place. As long as it lasts...i will try and control myself. Ain't marrying any shitty white wife even though i am still single. It's my choice and its very possible to stay sane. Girls will kinda be nice to you (what we call green light in Nigeria) but that does not necessarily translate to them rushing you.. nahhhh. But sha if you don't have a babe down here that loves you and you love back...don't commit yourself yet. Reason is...once you land here, your taste for woman go change and almost any 9ja babe you toast with plus+four+nine dialing code go gree... u see? But sha the winter is real mehn....Chukwunna biko!

10. Pls share your experience here. Let us have many Nigerians here....the more the merrier!
I didn't have anyone pick me from Frankfurt....so that was the first point of "This is Lagos" in Germany.
I had to find my way anyway... imagine i couldn't say shit in german? habatically
I learnt german on my own anyway... i got books and audios. Don't use "Geothe is far" as an excuse. Find someone to speak to. Ignore translators...(i have my reasons.) It's better to start learning by speaking nonsense than using translators.. find someone who can learn with you or speak with you.
Find and join German learners group on Facebook,...use your spare times productively instead of watching unclad women on Insta or trying to impress your Hushpuppi (for ladies) or Kimkardianshan (for guys) with poses and posts (I am saying this to those whose passion is strong about migrating and surviving here). Set your priorities and take it one at a time. Surely when you come here...you will change..positively (maybe). You'd become more simple and more open...

Its really irrational to blame Nigerians. Youths especially. What we are or have today as Nigerians was what was made available to us and what we were exposed to. Things are really shitty in Nigeria. Come here and refine your mind. Come here and become better. Nigerians are strong people. We've learned to survive the impossible. I can't imagine spending about 30years of my life only in Nigeria and Africa....


You have the right to thrash this....It's 100% your freedom.

Alles gute.

mehnnnn.. This is so educative. So nice of you. Thanks for this priceless piece of information. Gracia

can one learn German up to B2 in 3years combined with normal academic study?

cc: Honorableseyi, Berliner1, soocute,

please anyone with information or link for SL requirements?

Chevronstaff:
My post wasn't about asylum seekers..It is directed to international students on this trend that wanna seek better life in Germany..Student visa remains the best way to migrate to Germany,Canada and U.S.A ..There is a big difference between an asylum seeker and an international student..
Currently,Germany is in need of skilled labour and for anyone that wanna obtain Bsc or Msc in Deutschland,this is the right time to move....GERMANY NEEDS YOU to fill the vacancies in the labour market..Learn the language to at least A2 and you will be fine..Viel Erfolg..!!!!

ACHSO!!!!! "Please bros, I want to study in Germany, can you help me please?" Stop misinforming the people, I will tell you to go back and read the new draft once again, then come back and edit your post. There is no difference between now and in the past. It all depends on your preparation and how good you move with people on ground and many other factors, otherwise, you will be surprised the kind of OYO you will find yourself. The law in Germany totally dependent on who is implementing it, it is not black and white as you think. Try to listen, read and learn. Shalom

It depends on your course and how many hours of job you are doing per week. Shalom

dolpaz:
Bro, stop sweet talking this thing and making it look as if everyone that jumps into Germany will get a full time Job on arrival. There are alot of things which will be considered when getting a FULL-TIME Job and not Werkstudent/Lager... Please read my previous post to have a good understanding of getting a full time Job here.

Did you read the highlighted part...?

Countries that have so much Asylum seekers may not benefit from the scheme.

Me and you know that lots of Nigerians are on the waiting queue for asylum. Moreso, most application have been denied while lots are still waiting for a decision to be made. Whether you are a student or not does not change anything.

So lets just hope and pray that Nigeria is not in the list to be excluded

Leave him now. Who has ears....................Shalom

Ask your sponsor to visit his or her alien office. They will tell him what to bring and requirements. Sometimes, it depends on one city to another and also who is on sit on that day. I have seen someone that went to his alien office with the online general requirements and was given new requirements, thus, could not get it. Shalom

vampire2020:
learnin German from A1 to aleast b1 First,which will take you about 9months

..where would the learning take place....over here or in Germany??

Please guys I can’t seem to find any school that is still on for summer, without UniAssist. Bsc in any Business or Economics related courses.

whichever one you prefer,but Right now getting an admission in Goethe in Lagos is hot cake,but if I will suggest if u have the money, Germany is a good place to learn Deutsch .

Yea, this is true o. I sha want to achieve that.
I believe your German level is over B2 now oga? I was checking some Germany job advertisements, the least German language requirement for full time employment is B2, saw some for C2(mother tongue). The need to learn it can never be overemphasize, I agree.

heybaby12:

Hmmm, That would be great o to reach B2, then approach the Mother tongue C levels. I am fired for this now, my challenge is Goethe institute Lagos bureaucracy.

Honestly people that are there but find time to reply here are really trying, I am just putting myself in their place with all the work loads and time to keep, NL will be hard o except is pm stuff.

I doubt any is on..most are winter or thru uniassist

For where? I had to cancel the language class for this semester because of workload.

Neyeko:
This is very funny, I'm not even the original poster and see how you're insulting me. All I'm saying is that I don't know the whole story and neither do you. The fact that you couldn't even be bothered to check if I was the person who posted originally tells me you just got incensed and you are not a thorough thinker.

Nobody helped me with any admission, and I still say Germany was the easiest of all. It's just my personal opinion, it's not an absolute truth. All I'm saying is don't make generalized remarks like "admission to German universities is the hardest" because that's just your personal experience. Why is it so hard for you to accept that some people are capable enough to do things without some third party help?

You're also misunderstanding something else, My issue here is not whether the person who is complaining worked hard or not. I don't know them so I can't say much about that. I'm saying the price 300k is a ridiculous amount to charge for putting some documents in an envelope and mailing them. Governments around the world try to stop things like this, that's why they do things like regulating monopolies so that companies can't charge outrageous prices. (So they do care about ethics, sorry to dissappoint you). Of course it's much harder to regulate more personal transactions between two individuals and that's where people come with your 'business' and take advantage of people.

Also contracts won't save you, if a contract is one-sided or clearly exploitative it can be voided in a court. (Feel free to do your own research on this). So your landlord isn't wrong for charging more, that's business. The profit margin is acceptable. But if he started charging 2000 euros for that single room apartment and preying on desperate international students and locking them into contracts, he would get into trouble. So the girl who is complaining would not be sued in Germany, the agent would be told to defend his charges and prove that he put N300000 worth of work into her admission process. Should the agent give her the admission letter? That's up to him. Should she get her money back? Nope, that's also up to the agent. But should she pay up the balance for this exploitative service? Nope.

Also I hope you realize that Germany isn't even in the top 3 destinations for international students so this tough competition you're imagining isn't real (They have approximately 250 000 international students per year compared to America's more that 1000000). Of course with the exception of restricted courses. Germany is searching for people, they need skilled workers. They even recently leveled the hiring ground between German, EU and foreign students. We're all on equal footing (according to the law at least)

Anyway let me take my foolish unreasonable scamming self, with my low local mentality and leave this place (wao, only me has carried all of this). You will learn on your own that the rest of the world is not as lawless as you think. I know I won't convince you, but I don't want to leave your words here to potentially corrupt someone else's mind. Let people see two opposing sides and decide for themselves what they think is the truth.
Have a lovely day

Uhmm Sir... Courts don't void contracts for being "exploitative" unless there was misrepresentation or a mistake (those two terms are in the legal context, not dictionary meaning). It is the parties' responsibility to conduct due diligence and it is a settled principle of law that courts should not wade into attempting to set contractual terms for parties.

honourableseyi:

Bro. I heard the language classes are more expensive there. Like how much is it?

That's the Koko, work load and other side engagements will not give you the adequate time. Heybaby12 that is why am looking at 3 years time frame

What he's trying to ask, SL gotten for this summer application, can it be used for next year winter if the person didn't go summer again

Fabcol:
What about school leaving certificate?

That's not a university entrance qualification.

That's what I mean, these agents often misrepresent the services they are offering. And as for the meaning of those terms I'm not sure about all legal systems. But it's often up to the judge to decide if there's a valid case or not.

I mean what certificate is to be provided there

Hello house, please how much is the visa fee currently in Naira.
