Well the thing is, at some point I’ll cover all the topics and there’ll be nothing left to share. I won’t be telling you what I ate in the morning and what I’m doing at the moment. I won’t be here forever.
Other people will carry on from where I stopped and the information I’ve shared will be valid for people who will see it in the next 5 years.
That is a legacy.

My worst experience of "racism" here that I can remember was when I first started working with Germans in a firm where I was not only the black man in that work, but also the only non German who could not freely and eloquently express himself in Deutsh( it's a part of Germany where English is not spoken one bit). They were then utilizing my speaking and understanding deficiency to shift ALL errors and blames which arise from the work to me. Sometimes before I could put together my verbs and tenses to talk, they issue is already over.. So I was accepting virtually all guilts and blames of others, I was really burning inside me and started gradually having depressive moods.

But what happened thereafter? How did I tackle it? O mehn I used the last drop of my blood and started learning the language as if my life was hinged on it, took my Language course extremely serios, went further and bought many books and materials, at home nothing else appeared on my TV other than YouTube channels of almost all Deutsch teachers, bought a new ear piece for listening every godamn time I'm outside(good a thing I didn't develop ear problem due to constant sound in the ear ), i made German frends (especially ladies) that I chat with, speak with and vist. After many months of intense training, I saw that I have improved so heavily I took my B1 exam and got almost 100% in all segments, registered for the integration course exam (the score is required whenever u want to apply for citizenship) and made 100% (33/33). I was very happy yet I entered again another B2 school for 6 months intensive after which I started speaking sound quality Deutsch( a couple of govt offices I entered also told me so). I use even idioms, a couple of times I have used big vocabularies that one or two Germans had to check thier meanings in the dictionary and admitted they weren't used to those terminologies.

Now in my work place i work VERY CONFIDENTLY, the way I tackle anybody in my work place trying to be stupid around me eh, all those acts I receive stoped Instantly.

Finally survival is like mathematics, everyman must find his own formular or live by copying from others!

Chai.. Two things I learnt from this write-up are: “always be determined" and “find your own survival formular"

Thanks for this piece Erico.. E com be like say the German don dey affect your English Lolll

Are there people who have successfully traveled out of Nigeria with the information they gathered from Nairaland? There’s a lot helpful information on this forum, so I’m curious

Did they return to Nairaland after they traveled out?

Ofcourse, loads of us did. Hi, got to Germany last year winter, been on your thread for a while but school work's got me so hooked, given its online and diff lecturers employed diff teaching means, some zoom, some on YouTube, some recorded lectures on forums where you are mandated to discuss for Marks. Was ashamed when you wrote the Hamburg hbf isnt a very clean place because it's true but if you move little northwest towards jungfernsteig, that's where the beauty lies. Hamburg is linked to the river Elbe housing the largest port in germany and third largest In europe, so we have a very nice collection of waterside views. Believe me, it's a beautiful city!


All I can say about the education is, they build your confidence, you cannot pass through their system and not know what you're doing. It's really impossible.


I'm glued to your page, can't really contribute because of school and work and I'll say; YOU'RE DOING THE LORD'S work!


Viel spaß

Exactly and life happened to them all...there's always some sort of adrenaline at the beginning then you lose interest except you get some value in return. Value keeps people contributing.


I see some value on your page that brought me out of my shell, I am here already, now i need info on the way forward and not repeat the mistakes my predecessors made by learning from their experiences.

Gazillions of Nairalanders have left the country
We keep seeing testimonies on every travel thread, some had time to create their own thread and document their experiences and adventures, others just pop in someone else's thread and be like "thank God I left that shithole"
So yeah, Nairaland have helped many.
There were times VOs were on this forum answering questions regarding visas. The information here is just...(no word for it)

Danielhouston:


Lol. That is the purpose of human rights. They cannot make laws or ban people because of an online gossip. Whatever they read here is useless to them, except I’m teaching people how to commit crimes. There are so many blogs online with even more information than I’m sharing with you guys. Yet we still dey travel.
Besides, Nigerians have very little chance of getting Asylum anyway.

so the have stop giving Nigerians Asylum or what are the chances

Thanks bro for finding something learnworthy from me.
Two or three people here were abusing me and my personality over the same post that you lernt somthing from, the post that has the HIGHEST number of LIKES on this thread.(From page 1 to the end so far)

I read all thier insults on my personality, but fortunately enough, NOT all Nairalanders/Nigerians are foolish, I didn't and will never come down low to the level of exchanging abuse or insults with anyone on Nairaland.

For the person that asked if Nairaland has actually helped some people (either to travel or otherwise) the answer is Capital Yes! I registered on Nairaland in 2011, I am more of a reader. I bought my last car when I was in Nigeria from Nairaland Autos section. Thanks alot to Nairaland because I bought the very clean Lexus RX330 far more affordable than car stands and till today I am very close to the seller (he might be reading this too from India where he now bases).

Although Nairaland didn't actually play any huge role in my traveling proces, but I got a very good information here that helped me handle an issue of settlingdown here.
In that regard I want to use this opportunity to offer a help to any Nairalander that just landed and is currently in dire need of where to stay in Germany in a SHORT time inorder to finish with the PROCESS of GETTING his/her OWN Student or private apartment(The bolded are the conditions, and will be proved first).



Secondly if there is any Nairalander that lives in Köln, we can have some drinks(on my head). I will be traveling to Köln by coming Monday 18th May for a serious Interview on Tuesday 19th (man must always be upgrading in career). So we can meet on Tuesday afternoon at my Hotel which is located close to Köln Central Train Station.

Lest I forget, as for your question about my English...sorry if I wrote with mistakes or not to your expected standard...lols and Yes it can have an unsolicited effect oh. One can unknowingly be mixing up a few words of Deutsch into English or even into his/her local Naija dialects..It sounds funny and could be embarrassing but it's so true.
There is a fluent English-speaking German lady i have as frend here (she studied English as a course in the University). So many times has she been seriously stucked during a discussion struggling to remember a common Deutsch word. When she finally remembers it or you end up remembering it for her, she would say with a slight shame "Oh Gott, English!!" Unfortunately it happens to her often, so take it vice versa.

I just feel very bad each day waking up in Nigeria.

Things are really messed up here.

Nothing really motivates me anymore.

10 million to start a business, I will rather use that cash to travel out legally.


If I had the ideas I have now two years ago. I would not be in Nigeria today.

Now I understand what people actually mean by "the earlier the better" and "had I known"


God help me achieve this dream again.

I swear Naija don cast no wonder every living thing here wan japa. Maybe because it's a failed state, u can hardly find South Africans outside their country

Look, you can blab all you want but I know your kind. This is the first time I’ve taken time to reply to someone’s gibberish on this forum and that is because nothing about you sits well with my spirit. Having many likes on your comment does not make it a fact.
The average desperate Nigerian will believe he can “hustle” his way out of racism, if they’re “determined”. Well, until they travel out and experience it. So your “likes” from such people don’t mean sh*t.

I’ve never met you and I don’t know you but I can read through you from your words. You’re the kind of “black people” I met when I arrived Germany. Sneaky and proud.
You pose like a boss and act like you’re saving a life but all you want is for someone to owe you and give you a bragging point. You’re also the type to sell people off, while pretending to help. People may think I’m crazy but I know what I’m talking about.

The fact that you’re even going through 23 pages of this thread, counting your “likes”, already tells me what I need to know and more.

And that “person” you’re referring to, has a user name which is “Danielhouston”. Now you can take your Uncle Tom charity a$$ and get off my thread.

People be careful.

And Justwise, pls don’t delete this. People need to see it.

You really hate Nigeria hahaha. I won’t blame you. I was in Nigeria last year and I cried. When my friends told me about the struggle, I thought they were just being grumpy. But I saw it with my eyes and Nigeria is worse than when I left.

Since I returned to Germany, I’ve been restless. Any time I go out and want to party, I imagine how my €20 can pay someone’s salary in Nigeria so they won’t have to risk their lives every morning under the sun for 8 hours, sit in traffic for 2 hours and go home to darkness.
It is also part of the reason I searched and found this forum. It is well. E go better

People who cannot pay their bills due to the lockdown will be given a pass. That is, the ones who had jobs and were paying bills before the lockdown. Those who lost their jobs can register at the job center, where they will receive unemployment money to pay bills and sustain themselves and their health insurance will be paid for them. But they will not pay your debts

The business owners and freelancers will receive money from the government to make up for their losses and pay their employees. Those unable to pay their house rent will not be evicted. They can live rent-free for 3 months (from April) and pay their rent in arrears.

PS: international students will not receive government assistance as far as I know (don’t know if that has changed), because it is assumed that you can sustain yourself, which was part of your visa requirements

What you said is touching...just dey pity mysef here for this kian suffer we dey here....your firum really exposed me in this..Danhouston you really tried inthis thread

Before nigeria can develop up to this..maybe 100 years later

DanielHouston you've just hit 20k+ views,you may not know how many of those people you've inspired but I believe you've gotten so many fans in all of them. You're doing a good job


Peace

Danielhouston:
Oh talk about those Indian and Pakistani students, they are so annoying!! It’s like their families would disown them if they didn’t pass an exam or come out the best. They are even more annoying when you live with them in a Studentenwohnheim. I will save a topic for them.

Now that you mentioned it, I also remember that I had some racist professors. One day, one professor used Africa as a stupid example in his lecture and I challenged him. The class froze that day. I didn’t give a damn. I stood up and told him to never say that again. I can’t remember what exactly he said. I still passed the course, of course he wouldn’t dare fail me.

The way they teach is also confusing as hell. It’s like they already expect you to know it. You’d be ashamed to ask questions sef. I had to tell one professor to slow the fvck down. The thing is, they are not used to people correcting them or complaining. You know Germans are like sheep. They suffer in silence. You can also report a professor if you feel you’ve been unfairly treated.
This is not Nigeria where the professors will hate you because you reported one of them.

I also did not take a lot of exams on purpose because I wanted to extend my visa. As long as you have some courses to complete, even if your residence permit expires, you can extend it. Some cities give 2 extra years, and some give 1 year. Some students, even after 2 extra years, they still won’t complete their studies and they get 1 extra year. So you could end up spending 5 years on a 2 year master program.

Won't you pay more fees for the extension?

Thank you all for the views and participation. All of us must succeed. We will not leave anybody behind. We are powerful when we share and care for each other.

jesmond3945:

You’d have to keep paying your semester fees of about €220 to €300 (depending on your University). That is nothing compared to 2 extra years of living in Germany, plus after studies visa, and how your life can change in that time. I know people who got married before they finished studying and they changed their status.

Just don’t be a student forever. Some people even apply to another University after they finish the first one. They’ve been students for almost 6 years. Total waste of time in the name of visa.

Danielhouston:


I graduated with a GPA of 3.47 and some Universities didn’t think it was good enough for the courses I was applying for. I think most of the rejection was because I was applying to even courses that were not related to my degree and some of them were very competitive.
I can’t really say why I was rejected because they didn’t tell me why. They just denied me. I can’t remember all the details. I was desperate.
I’m thankful that I was not admitted to a stupid racist city, with how desperate I was, I could have accepted anything. God sure saved the best for me.

I don't know you personally but from your conduct on this thread and your patience with answering questions and addressing people's concerns, I can tell you're a very compassionate person.

Please don't be deterred by negative commentors and empty barrels that only come here to hit us over the head with their 'success' and call us stupi.d for still being in Nigeria.

God bless you.

One day I'll meet you and I'll shake your hand.
