"Education Is Not Tourism": Nigerian Students Protest At German Consulate Lagos by leo2sexy(op): 2:43pm On Sep 14, 2020
Following the recent trend on twitter "EducationIsNotTourism" which is currently trending on twitter. Nigerian students decided to join the movement.

The protest took place on Monday, 14th of September, 2020. In which Nigerian students used the opportunity to express their frustration to the German Consulate Lagos.

It will surprise you to know that the German embassy has not issued visa appointment dates to Nigerian students for 7 months while Ghana, South afica, Benin republic, Ethiopia etc have abundant dates. Enrollment deadlines are fast approaching and its looking extremely bleak for Nigerian students.

They decided to let known their grievances and here are the photos.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won’t happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.
Well composed trash undecided
