Talking about Food.
I'm OK with just beans and rice (I can't go a day without those especially, beans)

So, my planned list of food stuff is

15k9 of beans
10kg of rice
Maybe some Some garri
3liters of palm oil
Some ground paper
Salt
Maggi
Onions

I don't know how available and cheap these are over there because I don't mind omitting some considering the fact that I like traveling light...

What do you think?

Leave rice, rice full here.
And that your p/oil is a 50/50 thing. Hope they don't see it

omo, na agbo jedi fit do am jare, anti-biotics and co no bad either, but those bitters dey help o. cos for here sugar na their calling, make body no reset make you no turn indomie man...if you know wat i mean.

all i gotta say is, carry or come with stuffs that are legal and not available here at all, cos you´d sure write your own chapter of lamentations if you dull am.

clothes, books....na choice.

but no near food like amala and co, just chop bellefull before you come, or kuku do amala/semo/garri marathon for like 1 month, so you go know say you don chop all the one wey you need for like 5 years grin

i hope say una grab sha

Some tips from obiwann

Ehen, I forgot to add a very important tip for those who are yet to come.

Buy as much clothes, jeans, inners and shoes as possible when coming, forget that Aba made quality hoax. Its hogwash.

Person wey I know tell me say him buy 10 jeans... cheesy him no go buy jeans be that again for the next one year.

Secondly, come with a LAN cable. Most internet connections especially the one you would get in your room are WLAN and not Wifi. E cheap for naija, around 2k for 10m long cable. I know say the price for here go be die.

Thirdly, bring winter jacket oh ..the cold for here no be play. A useful tip to reduce the weight on your luggage which I told em Oye say I go do na I wan share give una so.

You know say clothes light well well and na jeans and winter jacket na heavy.
So this is what I did..

I wore two jeans, wear three if you can
then wore an inner, a shirt and two winter jackets for my body.

Laff if you would, but the clothes wey I wear for body reach 12kg when I measure am. Tell me how I for take add am to my bags wey dn already dey weigh 48kg The woman at the check in desk come de ask me say why I pack clothes for body say am I cold? Na I tell am say yesoooo...meanwhile no be small sweat I de sweat oh..lol

Fourthly, carry all ur documents oh ..I remember the guy at the airline desk asking me if I've payed my school fees and I tell am say na free tuition, then he come de ask for any evidence of payment made to the school. I no no how that one take concern am sha, but I gavee him my Form A transfer receipt.

Words of advice from Obiwann

Let us as One Nigeria take over Deutschland. If you have any info that would help ur neighbour, tip on a course, connection to a person, job link, etc, share it, don't hoard it. Enough of the Indians, the Cameronians and even Ghanaians dominating us. The average Nigerian has a mentality of wanting only himself to succeed and doesnt want his fellow Nigerian to succeed; living life as if na competition. We need to get rid of that mentality. Nothing dey for life oh my people, as all in all na vanity. We should live it consciously with a view of helping one another and putting smiles on people's faces.

For language learning

Deutsche Welle got news in German that are read slowly for learners and they also got the written news with it.

Try listening to different news 1-2hrs daily as training.

Mine was tv shows involving court cases as in court cases,the judges and all involved speak at moderate not so fast level.

For those going to Bremen

Hello,

U may not get direct flight 2 bremen unless if it is a major intl airport but u can fly 2 a nearby city then from there u take a train.

Like I am flying 2 frankfurt then from there i will take a 2 hours train between 20 to 42 euro (depends if i reserve a seat or not ) to schweinfut.

I have checked for you . If you choose 2 fly 2 frankfurt too u can take a connecting train to Bremen . Its about 5 hrs trip and the price range between 35 euro to 106 euro depends on the ticket you buy . The website is www.bahn.com

so if you are on budget like me u can fly 2 frankfurt less than 100k then connect 2 ur city with like 100 euro or less then u see that with 150k or less ,u are in bremen.


Another option which is better

35 - 106, Daylight roberry, please use the bus (www.meinfernbus.de) ,it's 2 hrs difference and cost less than 20Euro, thank me later


Train = 5 hours to Bremen from Frankfurt

Bus = 7 hours to Bremen from Frankfurt

The price of the bus is lesser than that of the train but if you are the type that doesn't like long trip, train is the best option for you.

Thanks to everyone that has taken out time to give us insight on their exepriences overthere...you guys are the best.


I hope you all dont mind, i need differnt peoples opinion on this.

So i am a working class here in Nigeria, with an good pay, but not happy with my job especially as i feel inadequate in the field and it affects my confidence level.

I have always had the desire to go for a masters, but the work has been so demanding that i dont give enough time to my application and i end up not getting admission. I have worked for 4+ years.

This year i got an admission to study Analytical, instrument, measurement and sensor technology. I have a greater Urge to go for this program as i really love the course content and the course itself and its really in line with my bachelors, though different from my present job. And i see it as a course i can fit into and R&grin section of most industries.

So here is my question , please for our bros and sis over there, what is your take on this course, do you think i have a good prospect there and also able to get job satisfaction over there.

I am also keen on having a descent place to raise my kids..please is Germany family friendly.

Please this is very important to me..i dont want to move from frying pan to fire.

I will appreciate this.

@hadampson please can you assit with this please

I thought I am the only one bothered about this block account even though one pastor told me authoritatively not to bother at all, I come get hope say he go help me complete the account, but since then no show from him only telling me to have faith, have faith.
I get faith shaa.
