This was an excellent thread and it is inevitable that it will get invaded by a few trolls. It's a good thing the OP has deactivated. The last few posts he made seems to suggest that he is mentally vulnerable. It's better he deactivated before his mental health is worsened by what goes on in a faceless forum like Nairaland.

Yes it was and that was why i overlooked his temperament, i did not read all his posts but i noticed the level of details and passion he put in.

Though i think something else outside nairaland exacerbated his intolerant behaviour here because i don't understand why he focused on less than 1percent alternative opinion and ignore vast majority supporting him.

he was tried of the trend and wanted to abandon it because the good vibes here was bigger than the bad vibe we stood by him but his mind was already made up he just wanted to leave imagine a pure nigerian acting like a yarkin pikin like he was born in overseas and get know nigeria system he schooled in nigeria grow up here did hid hustle here knows in and out of our system him come the form oyibo funny how blacks mentality changes when the move to foreign country

justwise:


His farewell is not needed, i'm very disappointed with his behavior and next time someone opens a thread in this section i will moderate it differently and by that i mean not giving the op preferential treatment .

I have never moderated a thread so strictly since i become a mod about 8yrs ago. I banned a very single person derailing this thread, i hid so many posts even when Danielhouston replied rudely.

I locked this thread when the heat is too much and reopened it when he was ready to continue, i have never done this before.

He threatened to leave if i don't ban those attacking him and i did that, after few days he came back with the same bitterness rather than continuing his thread then he deactivated his account.

So my question to many of you is..what a hell do you people want me to do for King Danielhouston?

Are you people honestly suggesting that nobody has the right to disagree with him?

More than 99% of people here support him and openly compliment his work here but still he got worked up by just one percent of people who did not share his opinion, even when i ban those people and remove their posts still its not enough.

If you are intolerant to alternative view then public forum is not for you.

Way to go. Kuddddddddos

Gerrard59:




You can dislike Justwise for whatever reason but he's right when he agrees that people have the right to disagree with OP. Initially, he called someone an "ignorant African" because the person slightly disagreed with him regarding racism in Germany even though the person resides there. The belief that everyone will agree with you on a free-to-comment thread doesn't exist. As much as he produced great content, I never liked his attitude towards people who disagreed with him in a logical and coherent approach. Those who insulted or mocked him using Hitler-like posts should be condemned but the belief that only his comments should be revered doesn't hold. At best, move to the diary section.

Unless you are one of those people who believe in free speech, diversity and liberty yet against views different from yours.

The thread should have been moved to Diary section since he started saying it's about his personal experience and divergent views aren't so much welcome

I love how you use words. I'm learning.

Some people carry these matter for head sha, the op has made his choice, choosing his PEACE over the criticism ....
Lol But somepips are still so pained as if (he/her) destiny or success aboard rests on the op's shoulder.
At least we all have learnt a lot from the op's POV, the only thing we owe the op now, is to weigh (tread)and put all we learnt from his experience to work, that way we are showing him his efforts ain't in VAIN and how GRATEFUL we are.

Crying all over and blaming justwise isn't wise, if what made you open this thread was information sake...at least you can't denia the fact that you haven't pick one or two info since page 1 of these thread till now, even from most of the criticism, I learnt something from them. Knowledge is built upon knowledge(lol we can't philosophize in a vaccum), you claim to be an aspiring immigrant yet your comments lack a research inclinced mentality/response, how you won take survive for foreign land as an alien then?
The "critics" did a bad job there, you stated your point at first you were attacked, you do am again you were attacked then you fought back, you shouldn't have as the op is lord over his thread in a way since he created the thread himself, you could have just bow out, simple(the op not wanting contrary opinion to his is another thing sha, he might be new to the workings/doings of NL. who knows). LIFE NO HARD!!!!

To people attacking justwise, do you know how many threads are in the travel section that he moderates every single day, how long or short his breaks maybe, he is not omnipresent na and most times a post may escape his attention I have been in travel land for years(my first account included) I haven't reach the end of travel land, ..though he may have his own problems he need to work on, agreed, but, cut the guy some slack biko..we are matured here.
Loling, aswear Most of you no go fit survive for some thread on reddit oo..
To some people!!! the exposure you gained here (if any at all) plus research(es) you will make on other website/thread is enough enlightenment to aid in processing your trip aboard, if you put two and two together, reason am.
LIFE NO HARD no use your hand make am hard for yaself!!!

Mental health issues does not respect where you were born or raised. It is a very serious problem even in Nigeria and we have to start raising awareness about this issue.

This is a very important point.

Though the problem is we Nigerians peppered it with religion rather than getting medical help that is needed.

You are a snake and your friends should stay away from you!

When he was providing you with different stories and answers to your asylum questions you didn't say shit but the moment he chose himself you switched sides and started talking shit.

It is well with you sha.

Some of you are really weird. Talking about he abandoned his big fans, as if you put money in his pocket. He came here at his own will and left at his own will. That man wrote over 90 pages of information for free. What else do you want him to do for you? Did you pay for his ticket to Germany? Because he chose his mental health over anything else, you are cursing him. Be grateful for the information he gave you and move on. He does not owe you anything. Jesus Christ!

So this interesting thread don end just like that

I don't think this country will ever get better... With attitudes I am see here...

have you seen American forum

Oh well! The op will be missed.
Really enjoyed the thread.
Danny you did a good job but everyone is entitled to his or her own choice without sanctions.
Enjoy ur peace man

Pls if anybody get any interesting travel thread should recommend pls pls pls.

This is interesting...

I believe Munichlover closed his thread because of something like this...

Now Daniel that we were all looking up to did same...

Hmm...

@justwise must be very shocked...

This tells two things;

Most NLers are just too playful and the op doesn't have a strong will power...

I still find it difficult to believe that the op is a Nigerian??
Nigerians I know have a tough skin!
Or have the exposure in Germany softened OP like a boiling water does on a potato??

What the heck! He was serious acting like a baby.
Contrary arguments gives you the opportunity to learn new things by taking opinions of other into consideration, not taking it as a form of personal attack.

I knew stuff like this will happen from the onset after he made an uncalled outburst when someone gave a divergent opinion on Germany immigration thingy.
Then the other guy who most people begged to open his own thread to school his followers over there, and then this one which broke the camel's back.
Well, I will have to commend him for coming this far. His thread was apt, garnished with pinpoint details and well spiced photos as the icing on the cake.
But then, he needs to be more tolerant to opposing views because no one is an island of knowledge.
To be frank I enjoyed his thread.
Kudos to justwise for his fair and unbiased moderation of the thread.
To other avid readers of this thread you are all the best. To follow a thread of 90+ pages no be here.
Over and out...

Freedomfsl:
For Daniel Houston to get worked up by a faceless forum shows that nairaland is not for him.


People that don't like divergent views or want their opinions to be accepted without confrontation don't life up to their full potentials. They are people pleasers.

Not giving 2 flying fvcks is what makes you an adult.

Good riddance

Honest truth, It's not just for him even tho it's painful to watch him leave.

NwaAmaikpe >> Mmanabbygrills >> Slowomir >> hv been through far worse for Nairalanders hand. You can't have 100% sane individuals in a Church, talk more of a faceless forum. It's just sad he had to deactivate totally

Hello guys, i have been admitted to FU Berlin, and I have done the necessary enrollment stuff. Please i will need help on accommodation, and how i can go about it cos the university have not sent me an email on that yet. Thanks

Afromentalist:

You did not answer the question.

What is your level (German language) ? I can’t give you any book if I don’t know your level.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by level. I have no prior knowledge of the German language if that's what you mean.
Let's say my knowledge is 5/100

Excuse me sir! I'd like to ask you a question if you don't mind. What where academic qualifications required of you? And were you granted admission without proof of German proficiency?
Thank you.

Yes i was granted admission to study my masters without any requirement to prove i understand the language, besides my course is taught in English language.

Okay. I'm going for under graduate studies not masters. Do you have idea about the academic qualifications that I'll be required of? So many misleading info on the internet, I'd love to hear first hand. Thank you.

Its best you check the school's website and contact the dept where your course is being taught.. i believe you will get all you need there.

EU languages ranges from level A-C which is elementary to advanced lęvel (as defined by the Common European Reference Framework). Since your preferred study destination is a non English speaking country (Germany), you will have to familiarize yourself with the language stages.

Source: German Language School (GLS) Berlin

* Level A1: Beginner.
* Level A2: Elementary Knowledge.
* Level B1: Intermediate.
* Level B2: Upper Intermediate.
* Level C1: Advanced.
* Level C2: Highly competent.

Since you are at the "beginners stage", hence your level is A1 and upon completion of this level, you can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases.

Okay thanks then. So what books can you recommend for me to get online? Since I'm to start from A1 level.
