gets to know you well to understand your culture and you understand hers, and definitely not because of that thing in your pants. Often times, the non-western accent is also a turn-off to some. You chat okay via text or whatever but the moment she senses that you are non-western, that is the end. My roommate when I was studying in the UK was a British born Nigerian. My guy changed girlfriends (oyinbo) every 4months or so without
the girls ghosting him.

The most common white women that won't mind dating irrespective of whether you come from the moon or from Mars, and are purple in complexion or stink like a skunk: are the big (complex), not fine(complex), sluts, junkie, rejected, on a revenge mission, sexually twisted (cokhold) , etc. You can be lucky to find one of those listed above. Just ensure you wrap up well.

The white girls wish to date the black guys but they are always scared of their other whites boys who will critize her and the starring she might get while holding hands with a black guy. Even their parents might go against dating Blacks because they don't want any interracial blood in their family because they see it as stains and the white girls who do that are often get discriminated.

SOME MISTAKE NIGERIANS MAKE IN GERMANY

1. Not learning the language. Most of my coursemates didn't register for a German language course here or even learned it from Nigeria before coming to Germany. Unless you plan to base in an English speaking country after graduating, it's unwise not to learn Deutsch before graduating.
2. Not possessing any relevant skill. Most Nigerians here don't bother doing an internship in firms related to their field because most firms will prefer those that can speak German (which they can't) and as a result, end up graduating without any industrial experience or even language skills.
3. Chasing rats and leaving the Elephant Most Nigerians here chase rats leaving out the Elephant. They have that Essau mentality of immediate satisfaction. Always trying to make money by all means while forgetting that part-time jobs are not professional jobs. I understand that many people came here with loan and there is need to pay it back but immediately you start putting all your energy on part time works forgetting the three most important things which are your studies, Gernman language, Industrial experience/Skills. This attitude will make your education suffer, you will learn no Deutsch and have no skills to fetch you the professional job you need. And most of them end up starting over again and funny enough making the same mistake. Thats why you see some people that have been here for 8yrs achieving nothing because though they make money, some waste it on vacations and other irrelevancies. You have to study the system, know what they need and go for that.
Is parttime job what you intend to do forever? If the answer is NO, then think twice.
4. Relating only with fellow blacks. Inasmuch as its good to relate with your brothers but the fact is that you need Germans to remain in Germany. You need to act like them, speak like them, think like them, behave like them in other to be like them.

Everyone who went to Germany wanted to make it but life is a biatch. You are still in the system and it's a bit too early to give advise.

Start planning your exit bro, na countdown u dey. But all four points points are valid tho.

I dey enjoy your writing skills tho. But try and get a native. What's d point in paying all that plane money only to hook up with another Naija girl. Them never tire uuu? Even if u dey reason black, you no see colored South Africans or Ethiopians for ground? I go vex for u o.

Relationship is like a negotiation. If a girl feels like u are getting a better deal than her, she will always be reluctant.
Don't be desperate. You will get something tentative, but making her ur gf is up to your game.

Forget all these talk of white girls being a racist or they care about what their folks will say. As long as u no worwor or black like charcoal, u will get something. You a black, u r scarce, n valuable. Goodluck bro.

Mostly applies to Asains and Indians not core whites or Europeans, I don't think such is prevalent there because that's pure racisim...stains? I believe except in rare cases it mostly bores down to preference and culture clash

I doubt the "huge plane fee he paid as you put it was soley for the purpose of hoking up with a white girl, if they won't add value to him atm what's the purpose? For enjoyment or prestige sake? @ Op, My brother girls go dey always, I love your focus and planning, it's not to early remain steadfast and dogged, focus and hard work are recipes for success, you would then attract equally successful chicks both black, white, yellow etc no be you go dey chase them, put ypur self out there but no desperation you would even be surprised to find love in the strangest of places. Cheers

What's wrong with Nigerian girls?, lmao. OP already mentioned white girls aren't checking for black guys in Germany?. What do you want him to do?
What the hell do you mean by cloured south Africans??.

German girls don't care if you are a light skinned African with huge BBC. They will still choose their own over you.

And saying things like, 'black like charcoal ' is pretty dumb to me.

A dark skinned black guy is still attractive!. And just because someone is light skinned doesn't automatically mean they are attractive!. This is the mistake you people make.

I don't know why people are always interested in dating white women, lol.

Nothing wrong with that but some of you just want to date them because they are white , nothing else!.

You would date a morbidly obese white woman but won't date a morbidly obese black woman.

Things you won't tolerate with a black woman, you would with a white woman.

I've heard stories sha .

Wait, I thought this thread is for males only . Lemme run and take cover.

The "black like charcoal" part...I exegerrated that part, d emojis were not working when I wrote that. It's just a twisted way of saying a guy should have good grooming.

The part that German girls will always pick a German over u... it's all in your head, it isn't true and this is from personal experience. If my gf's countrymen see us together...they always have this "what d f**k" look on their faces. And that's when she will even intensify her public display of affection. Her nationality is even more "racist" than Germans. The barrier only exist in our head.

Colored South Africans is what u have if a black south African marries a white. After a few generations, we have this hybrid kids who are neither black nor white. They are a rather sweet "breed" just like the bottom of a pot of jollof.

But since we are already here. Why are Naija girls usually humble like cold water especially when they find themselves abroad?

LOL. If you know me physically you wouldn't have said that because I am someone that always prepare for the worst and expect the best in every situation.
Personally, I don't believe that I am in a countdown to my exit. I strongly believe that I will stay in Germany after my graduation but if the worst happens which I don't expect, then with the money I intend saving, I explore alternatives but please I am not in a countdown and must not exit Germany.
We should be careful of what comes out from our mouth. When I was processing my visa, one guy germanmanny said something similar to what you said.

He said and I qoute:
germanmanny:
I don't blame you follow follow.

You go follow basalt remain for naija.

You can click on the link and view his comment long time ago, but here I am chilling in Germany right now. I told him then that he is not my God and I would quote his comment before december 2019 and I already did/

What I am trying to say is that we are what we believe and think and only God has the final say but always try to do your best and leave the rest for him. All the days of my life, I am never known for being fickle or given in to pessimistic words.

So, in conclusion your gf is white?.

I still stand by my statement though, the average German lady would still choose their own over you and you having a white gf doesn't change the fact. And no, it is not in my head. This is the reality here in Germany.

I don't know what you mean by that question tbh. I thought naija guys normally say that we Nigerian women 'form' in the abraod, whatever that means . And this being humble like cold water is new to me cause I haven't seen it!.

And why are you guys humble around white women?, lol. You do things with her that you won't do with a black woman. It's cool though .

It also applies to the Europeans and racism exist in every part of Europe, No white parents will want her daughter to have black children because they want the whiteness to continue in the family but having a black blood in their family is like stains to them, To be sincere every parents will want their children to marry from their own race but going for the black race will make it worse because we blacks are genetically dominant, Biracial kids of black and white parents can't never look white it's still gonna look more black than white which will be brown. White families love to maintain the whiteness in their family that's why some don't accept the black race.

THE GERMAN SEX

You are likely gonna experience involuntary celibacy for a long period of time (depending on your sharpness and social level) on getting to Germany and believe me, the konji wey dey here is higher than that of Nigeria because when cold comes, naturally you go need to hug something or somebody to keep you warm and when there is nothing to hug or somebody to keep you warm, konji will mess you up especially if you are like me that was sexually active in Nigeria.
When I was in Nigeria, I was beclouded with the mentality that white girls love black guys but on getting to Germany, I found out that it's not entirely true. I don't know about other countries but in Germany, girls will usually smile at you, answer you politely when you miss the road and ask for direction, she might even direct you with her google map to your direction but all these things na courtesy.
Don't take it as greenlight. She usually (from my experience and the experience of my fellow guys) might even collect your number but never message you unless you are the first to message.
The chatting later gets boring and any slightest provocation might lead to blocking. It might be working for others, but it has not yet worked for me.
As a sharp guy, I initiated a conversation with two white girls during our fresh bird's party and collected their numbers hoping to have my first white sex but my effort was dulled and bruised.
I invited one of them to my house but she replied Why should I come to your house when we are not friends?
Not minding that we have chatted on WhatsApp for weeks. Here, the mentality of girls are so different. Its not actually racism, some of them don't really feel like dating blacks just as you wouldn't feel like dating everybody.

Fast-forward to matter the topic of discussion, I later met a beautiful Nigerian girl inside the train and went and sat beside her, we greeted and started chatting and I discovered that she is even in the same school with me. As we were discussing, I intentionally missed my stop just to keep the discussion flowing and moreover I no dey pay for train since I have my semester ticket.
we later reached her stop and I asked for her German number and she dropped it instantly when she stood up to leave, we waved goodbye to each other and I noticed she possess a very nice Ass and hip (Not too big but perfectly matches her body).

We became more intimate after the encounter and occasionally attend events together. One day, I attempted holding her hands when we wanted to cross road and she didnt object and as she no object after crossing, I told her that I feel like holding her soft hand forever and she burst into laughter while taking the hand off my palm. I found out that the relationaship flows unlike my guys still chasing shadows with white girls who they are trying hard to please.
I invited her to my place, and on the appointed day, I cleaned my house, the television etc, bought some nice chicken burger and MacDonald Icecream with beef pepper soup as backup incase she wanna bite something, bought fruits like Apple, Berry etc and arranged my bed in the most attractive way while making sure that the air freshener was active.
My room looked perfect and the background music was low and very romantic.
15Mins after arranging my apartment, my bell rang and I started sweating in happiness like sheep wey dem dey cut em hair. I quickly pressed the unlock button and few seconds and went downstairs to meet my supposedly angel, only to see my Classmate Okonkwo smiling sheepishly with his school bag.
Immediately, my face changed.
Me: Guy how far na?
Okonkwo: I dey bro, this one wey you put on your Christmas wear, hope all is well?
Me: Bros abeg, e no dey do me as e dey do you now, wetin dey happen na?
Okonkwo: Make we enter inside first, no rush...
Me: (Sluggishly leading the way into my room with utmost dissapointment...)
Okonkwo: (excitedly).....Omoh ehhh, your room make sense. chaiii, e be like say na tomorrow i go even go sef, make I crash for your place today
Me: Crashigbuo onwe gi ebe anwa (meaning crash kill you there)...Abeg wetin bring you come without even giving me a call earlier.
Okonkwo; Craze guy. E get one graph wey I no sabi as the lecturer take plot am and even how he got the porosity of the formation.
Me; (I started thinking to myself.........which kind nonsence be this, I be graduate assistant abi na village people send this guy come block my parol? why must it be now?)
As I was thinking on how to escape this unexpected dilemma, I recieved a message from Jenny, the expected angel.......

gist to continue later, make I prepare for 8:30 lecture....

You have to relax
The rules of the game is different in western countries

You'll get a hang of it eventually

iammiracle1:
I really enjoyed this write up as it was sincerely true, one of my big paddy wasted 3 years looking for a white woman to marry, baba even bleached and gymed all in the bid to look more attractive, he even started dating orobos, single moms, very unattractive women all in the hustle to score, baba even recieved insults and took shi.t he won't normally take, he later settled with one that divorced him after 1 year, he couldn't even get the papers nor "prestige of dating a whitey" he had to come back home and pick a good girl, something that his mates had long married from 9ja here and collabo"d together and gotten PR, in essence I advise my men them just be you and roll freely, if you find love fine, but no go kill yourself because it's mostly never all that you think it would be, you think 9JA girls are feminists? You never see something.

He was desperate
That's why

iammiracle1:
It actually happened in Australia, I don't think it has anything to do with racisim but more like preference, most black guys delude themselves that white girls are always desperate for bbc but most times if you aren't an athlete, rich and flashy they mostly aren't intrested coupled with the bad rep blacks in general exhibit, though there are plenty exceptions.

Yea

They should just relax

This desperation thing among black man from Africa (well some of them) for white chicks makes them unattractive

Basalt:
Nice Questions.
Well, I have not yet graduated and got professional jobs but I think I already have the idea from the intensive research I did even before application.

First of all, I will start by telling you that you should be worried about getting MSc admission first because your GP is on the lower side (if actually 5 is your maximum scale)
Most German schools demand 2.5 German scale (This is the formular for converting your GP to German scale =Nmax-Nattained/Nmax-Nlowest) x3+1.
I did a quick calculation on your GP and got 2.747 German scale which is below 2.5. Most schools will send you rejection mail unless you have practical experience related to your course to back it up. Thats why I said you should first think about how to get admission with GP less than 2.5 German scale (Nigeria highest is 5 while German highest is 1), though its very much possible but usually harder.
Note that in Germany, the smaller the grade the better.
1,0-1,5 sehr gut
(very good: an outstanding
achievement)
1,6-2,5 gut (good: an achievement which lies
substantially above average requirements)
2,6-3,5 befriedigend (satisfactory: an
achievement which corresponds to average
requirements)
3,6-4,0 ausreichend (sufficient: an
achievement which barely meets the
requirements)
4,1-5,0 nicht ausreichend / nicht bestanden
(not sufficient / failed: an achievement which

Secondly, I think data management is IT course and not so related to Geophysics. I doubt you can get admission in MSc Data management with a BSc in Geophysics. If you wanna change carrier, you start from the scratch (B.Sc) and mind you that most Data management MSc courses are not tuition free, so you have to be prepared for tuition fees.

You made mention of professional jobs being the main reason you wanna migrate to Germany. I perfectly understand your point. If you are a registered member of linkedin, you will see many Geoscience vacancies in Germany which shows that Geoscientists are still in demand but the question is ARE YOU QUALIFIED?
The first step to qualification is knowing GERMAN to atleast B2, having practical skills which you can get from the industry during your internship, attending seminars and making connections etc.
Truly, there are more opportunities for those in IT field but also know that Indians are mostly in IT and they are very good in IT so you must also be ready to equip yourself and compete with them in the job market.
Let me also tell you something you have not thought about.
Don't you think you can stay in Germany as a student and raise millions of naira (which is not easy to raise in Nigeria) and still graduate with a good GP, then in the worst case scenario if getting professional job in the country fails due to limited opportunity for your course or due to your inability to possess what they need, you can use the millions of naira to migrate to other countries that have more opportunities for your course?
Countries like Canada, USA, Australia, Norway all have good opportunities for earth scientists due to their wealth in Oil deposit and kerogen.
So you have nothing to lose in Germany if you have a good GP and practical skills and save money for possible migration when you encounter worst case scenario.
Before the end of my MSc program, I am targetting atleast 5million naira savings that even if the worst happens which is not our portion, I can use the money to finance myself and explore other countries.
My number one aim of leaving Nigeria is to be a citizen of a first world country. If Germany don't give it to me through the process of getting professional job or marriage, then I try other countries. My heart will rejoice wheneever I get any of the following international passport
Germany or Australia or America or Canada or UK or any passport of any good and sane country to retire with my children.
Returning to Nigeria to base after studies is not an option at all and I know for sure that God will grant me of my heart desire. I don't know about you but I am working towards possessing a first world international passport to add to the Nigerian own I already have so that I can easily migrate whenever I need even in my old age ,

You are very strong-willed and purposeful. You definitely know what you want.

I pray God grant you your heart desires.

Amen

I never used to believe in traveling but with current Naija situation, I am considering it seriously. I'm really motivated by Basalt story. I have a clear picture of what is to be expected in Germany now. I also what to know what is obtainable in Canada. Is it worth processing Canada now or Germany. Also, what's the range of cost for both Germany and Canada processing. All positive input is highly appreciated

The most common white women that won't mind dating irrespective of whether you come from the moon or from Mars, and are purple in complexion or stink like a skunk: are the big (complex), not fine(complex), sluts, junkie, rejected, on a revenge mission, sexually twisted (cokhold) , etc. You can be lucky to find one of those listed above. Just ensure you wrap up well.

I am talking from what I have seen from my family and friends they travelled to USA and UK in 1990s and early 2000 via student route and high percentage of them got marry to young educated white British and American's not like how you guys paint as if it is extremely hard u

I have come to realize that the highest motivation to explore another route comes when the current route is not moving fine. If I was earning well in Nigeria, I wouldn't have had the dream of traveling out. I can relate to what you said.
Well, I have never been to Canada but as for Germany, I will advise you to stop thinking and start coming because you will never regret your decision.
If you wanna make money, you will make money and still study. Its all about planning your time very well and limiting your social media presence.
If you also want to face only your studies, Germany has what you need because their educational system is very good and with very low tuition.
The only problem in Germany is the language barrier if you can learn the language as soon as possible, you have no problem.
As for Canada, their schools have high tuition fee, the environment is much colder and higher cost of living, but if you are rich, then cost won't be an issue to you. So both countries are very good.

Thanks for the input. I have calculated my GP according to the formula you provided. It's below 2.1. I don decide now. Germany here I come. Na to start admission process first shey, den once dem grant admission na to put money for block account. If there is any other thing I should do please do let me know cos I'm seriously serious right now

Lol, individual differences. I personally don't care about skin type provided the person in question is beautiful with good feminine shape (I love well-shaped @ss and boobs so much because I always love smacking and playing with them during sex ) then coupled with good and endurable character, I am good to go

Basalt:
SOME MISTAKE NIGERIANS MAKE IN GERMANY

1. Not learning the language. Most of my coursemates didn't register for a German language course here or even learned it from Nigeria before coming to Germany. Unless you plan to base in an English speaking country after graduating, it's unwise not to learn Deutsch before graduating.
2. Not possessing any relevant skill. Most Nigerians here don't bother doing an internship in firms related to their field because most firms will prefer those that can speak German (which they can't) and as a result, end up graduating without any industrial experience or even language skills.
3. Chasing rats and leaving the Elephant Most Nigerians here chase rats leaving out the Elephant. They have that Essau mentality of immediate satisfaction. Always trying to make money by all means while forgetting that part-time jobs are not professional jobs. I understand that many people came here with loan and there is need to pay it back but immediately you start putting all your energy on part time works forgetting the three most important things which are your studies, Gernman language, Industrial experience/Skills. This attitude will make your education suffer, you will learn no Deutsch and have no skills to fetch you the professional job you need. And most of them end up starting over again and funny enough making the same mistake. Thats why you see some people that have been here for 8yrs achieving nothing because though they make money, some waste it on vacations and other irrelevancies. You have to study the system, know what they need and go for that.
Is parttime job what you intend to do forever? If the answer is NO, then think twice.
4. Relating only with fellow blacks. Inasmuch as its good to relate with your brothers but the fact is that you need Germans to remain in Germany. You need to act like them, speak like them, think like them, behave like them in other to be like them.

You are a very clever and determined Man. Please keep it up and continue to be a shining example to those that'll come after you.

I have to start preparing for work any moment from now to come back tomorrow morning and this is what I do almost every day except weekends (Reason why I am more active on Saturdays and Sundays) and still face my studies and Deutsch language course

SOME MISTAKE NIGERIANS MAKE IN GERMANY

1. Not learning the language. Most of my coursemates didn't register for a German language course here or even learned it from Nigeria before coming to Germany. Unless you plan to base in an English speaking country after graduating, it's unwise not to learn Deutsch before graduating.
2. Not possessing any relevant skill. Most Nigerians here don't bother doing an internship in firms related to their field because most firms will prefer those that can speak German (which they can't) and as a result, end up graduating without any industrial experience or even language skills.
3. Chasing rats and leaving the Elephant Most Nigerians here chase rats leaving out the Elephant. They have that Essau mentality of immediate satisfaction. Always trying to make money by all means while forgetting that part-time jobs are not professional jobs. I understand that many people came here with loan and there is need to pay it back but immediately you start putting all your energy on part time works forgetting the three most important things which are your studies, Gernman language, Industrial experience/Skills. This attitude will make your education suffer, you will learn no Deutsch and have no skills to fetch you the professional job you need. And most of them end up starting over again and funny enough making the same mistake. Thats why you see some people that have been here for 8yrs achieving nothing because though they make money, some waste it on vacations and other irrelevancies. You have to study the system, know what they need and go for that.

I don't want to counter your opinions, but this your last statement is just non.....

Don't look at people that way o, wetin u no know pass u.
Some have other ways to kill their birds. Don't come and be comparing and think u that go to class are "over-productive".

I bonded with someone recently, he just left my side now sef, he looks unserious but only one or two here knows what he has been able to achieve in just 5 years of being here which include what many of us are praying for.

Take this from me, "no one is unserious in Germany". Don't come and be looking ur neighbor, just mind your business look straight and pray ur plans pay o. Nobody advises another here o especially in the light of what u wrote, here no be Nigeria. no be u carry them come and how d go succeed with their own plans, u won't understand.

No be person wey call police go always win case sir, just mind your business and pray for grace to see u through

Basalt:
Yea, it's me Basalt and I always don't wanna paint words. I am a graduate of Geology from UNN (with over 4point GP).
I received much discouraging advice especially from my relatives in America and even my friends telling me that since I have a high GP and still young I should continue applying for jobs in Nigeria because Abroad is no longer what it used to be. I was listening to their lies and applying to non existing jobs for complete 2YRS.
Out of all those applications, I was able to secure only private school jobs which paid less than 30,000 with lots of stress on my life. After 2years of frustration and earning like a rat, I came back to my senses.

I sold everything I had, borrowed money from my elder sister's husband (God bless them for me) and entered Germany last month on student visa because to me, all die na die (even if I perish in Germany I will perish happily than continue crying in silence in Nigeria)

On getting here mehn, the first thing I regreted was not leaving Nigeria earlier. I blamed myself for listening to their lies and discouragement all these while thats why I deem it important to open this thread and pray Moderator pushes it to the front page because I know there are many people receiving such discouragement as we speak.
within three weeks of comming here, I have a part-time job that pays me 13.5 euros per hour (I work for 80hrs per month) in addition to that, I have one mini job that pays me 445 euros per month.

My accommodation is 350 Euros per month and my living expenses are about 150 Euros a month or highest 200 if I spend heavily.
In addition to that, I have access to a world-class education for almost free and stand a better chance of getting a professional job after my masters and you know what that means?
Now do the Maths and tell me how it is not better than less than 30,000 Naira which I was earning in Nigeria before leaving?

Some people will say I am lucky but honestly, I am yet to see any student in Germany die of hunger here unless he is lazy.
I repeat, NEVER you listen to anyone telling you to remain in Nigeria UNLESS you are earning fat salary in Nigeria, even the so-called politicians send their children here.

Bro abeg I mill go carry me enter that place...Na still this teaching job I dey do there...E no get head e no get tail.

PhenomenalMorgan:
I wonder what people gain by advising others not to take giant leaps to their destiny, like if you are scared of leaving your comfort zone, why encourage others not to
We should be careful of those we take advice from!!

Especially this Nairaland.

It can bury your dreams of getting out of the country. The threats on that travel section alone won't encourage you to leave Lagos for Ogun State.

Basalt need your help regarding the Goethe program here in Naija. How do I go about it and is it compulsory.

Basalt:
Lol, individual differences. I personally don't care about skin type provided the person in question is beautiful with good feminine shape (I love well-shaped @ss and boobs so much because I always love smacking and playing with them during sex ) then coupled with good and endurable character, I am good to go

Hehehe this boy ehh Na Jehovah go helep u.
