Are you not giving people wrong impression here?
PLEASE LET THE PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH- Whats the unemployment rate in South Korea?
Any minimum wage?
Where are the jobs available?
Will you help them find jobs quickly or how will they get the fast job?
Is South Korea better than Japan?-Whats is their attitude towards foreigners especially black people?ETC

StarFlux:
I'd say Norway definitely (easier). The unemployment rate in Germany is 4,9%, while it is 3.4% in Norway. I have never been to Germany so my opinion on the matter probably wouldn't reflect reality, but it's probably tougher as it's a bigger country going through rough times.
One basic factor that you have to consider is the population of the 2 countries.The population of Germany is 82 MILLION AND the population of Norway is 5 million.It means a lot.Luxembourg has a population of just 1 million people and the unemployment rate is now about 6%.Japan has a population 127 million people and the unemployment rate is like that of Norway with 5 million people.It means that Germany is more than 12 times more populated than Norway but the unemployment gap is just less than 2%.I love Norway and I love Germany.

I have been to Hamburg about 4 times and I can assure you that the place is not a village-big city ,lively and really Good Africans are there.That is the only place where I have seen real co-operation among Nigerians living abroad.They are far better than the Nigerians living in Luxembourg-which believe strongly that the golden rule among them is not to help another.
Frankly speaking,I feel reluctant to return to my base after 4-5 days in Hamburg on each visit.Neat and law-abiding people.I was looking for a place and a good Nigerian-Ibo man,though I am not an Ibo person assigned somebody to take me round-Thats Hamburg for you.
I would have loved to move there but my mind is now in the Southern German.Germany is a great place and country.I would have introduced you to some people that I know there but people there are very helpful and nice so you ll find your way asap.

Thanks for the great response to the issues I raised about staying in the Southern part of Germany-Munich.I explained earlier on that I am from one of the EU member states.I just want to exercise the EU RIGHTS of free movement.I am after any kind of job or the self employment route while in Germany.I understand that the southern part will be the ideal place to get a job so any town or village or place is ok with me-just to be employed.
Thanks for taking time to contribute meaningfully to all our posts.May God reward you abundantly.
I live not too far from Germany so I ll pay visits to Southern Germany before my final move -to see the place and to meet country people .Danke.

Windowless Plane Set To Take Off In The Near Future: Would You Fly On It?
The next generation of aeroplanes are on their way and they sound seriously space age

Aeroplanes haven't changed much in the last few decades - but give it 10 years and flying is set to become at least 100 per cent more fun than today's sardine-can experience.
Forget squinting at terrible films on itty bitty screens and shielding yourself from the high power air-con with a scratchy hospital-esque blanket - the future of flying is seriously hi tech.No windows... but still a view (Tomasz Wyszo/mirski/ww.dabarti/CPI)
No windows... but still a view (Tomasz Wyszo/mirski/ww.dabarti/CPI)
The idea is to get rid of ALL THE WINDOWS on the plane. Digest that for a second. At first thought it doesn't sound too appealing - sitting in a tin can miles above the ground with no view out and no fluffy clouds bouncing by.
But instead of windows, boffins are working on replacing them with something even better - responsive screens that can show whatever you want - from the clouds outside the plane to interactive websites.
It's starting to sound more appealing, but the idea doesn't actually come from making flying more fun, it's (of course) a business reason. Slim screens would mean the plane could be much lighter - because the plane body wouldn't need to be reinforced to allow for window panes.Switch your environment into night time (Tomasz Wyszo/mirski/ww.dabarti/CPI)

The company behind the designs, The Centre For Process Innovation (the CPI), reckons it could help airlines save huge amounts of money by getting the weight of the planes down - to reduce fuel needs.
“We had been speaking to people in aerospace and we understood that there was this need to take weight out of aircraft,” said Dr Jon Helliwell from the CPI.
“Follow the logical thought through. Let’s take all the windows out – that’s what they do in cargo aircraft – what are the passengers going to do? If you think about it, it’s only really the people that are sitting next to windows that will suffer.”There should be more room inside the plane (Tomasz Wyszo/mirski/ww.dabarti/CPI)

Once you've got over the weirdness of the idea of not being able to see any natural daylight for your entire five, 10 or 20 hour flight, this actually sounds like the best thing ever.
After all, the flying environment isn't a particularly natural experience as it is, with the recycled air and cartons of food that taste of cardboard. So why not embrace it and create a completely immersive flying experience that passengers can enjoy?
If you want to sleep you'll be able to switch your environment to night mode and if you want to see what's happening on the ground below, you can zoom in on particular landmarks and find out more about them.
The company also believes that getting rid of the windows and slimming down the fuselage will mean more room inside for passengers - which sounds alright to us!
Would you fancy a trip on the windowless plane? We are first in line.

A 48-year-old church treasurer, Mr Idris Abiodun, has prayed an Igando Customary Court in Lagos, Lagos State, to dissolve his marriage over alleged constant theft of church money by his wife.

Idris, who is also a civil servant, told the court that his wife of four years, Toyin, stole both his personal money and that of the church in his custody.

“Anytime I come home with money, my wife will steal some notes. By the time I take the money back to the church, it will be incomplete and I always pay for the missing money,” he said.

Idris also added that 45-year-old Toyin threatened the life of his first wife until she died.

“When my first wife was alive, she always called her a barren woman, and vowed that she would never conceive.

“When she was sick and admitted in a hospital, Toyin sent a message to her that she would never come back home,” he said.

He also accused her of adultery.

“She made a confession to me that she was dating a policeman and that she used a ring that would prevent her from getting pregnant for man.”

Idris told the court he was no longer interested in the union.

Responding, Toyin, a teacher, did not deny the allegation of adultery but denied stealing and having a hand in the death of her husband’s first wife.

“I have a police boyfriend and I told my husband about it,” Toyin told the court.

The mother of two said that Idris used to be beat her anytime she refused to have sex with him.

“I always refuse him sex because he is having Facebook friends,” she said.

She consented to the dissolution of the marriage, saying she no longer loved Idris.

The court President, Mr R.I. Adeyeri, adjourned the case to October 29.
Politics › How I Escaped From Kidnapper’s Den In Ogun State by rafcrown(op): 3:14pm On Oct 18, 2014
How I escaped from kidnapper’s den in Ogun State

on October 18, 2014 / in Crime Guard 6:24 am / Comments


By EDIRI EJOH & ABDUL-lATEEF LIGALI

A middle-aged woman, Mrs. Patience Igho, recently narrated how she escaped from kidnapper’s den in Agbara forests at the outskirts of Ogun State.

Victim-pixThe traumatized Igho said she could not believe what she saw inside the forest after she was drugged inside a commercial bus on her way to Boundary Market in Ajegunle, Lagos.

The distraught woman, who sells frozen fish told Crime Guard that she saw no fewer than 200 victims, who were held hostage.

Consequently, she called on the relevant security agencies to quickly intervene and rescue the helpless people.

Narrating her ugly experience, she said:“The incident happened in the early hours of the day. I left my house with N130, 000 to be deposited in the bank. I boarded a commercial bus with four women and two men already seated.

I cannot rightly recall the registration number. I later found myself in Agbara forest. It was after I regained consciousness that I found myself with over 200 people. One of them told me that I was at Agbara forest.

The person told me that some of them have been there for over seven months.

Threats

“While I was still trying to ascertain where I was, our captors came and asked us to drink water from one dirty container which I refused. They threatened to kill me if I insisted but I vehemently refused prompting them to vow that I must be the first to be sacrificed.

Fortunately after the threats, they left me for another victim stating that nothing will stop them from sacrificing me. Later, they stripped all of us naked and shaved our hairs after which they placed them inside a pot.

“They also brought another set of victims into the forest at about 9:00am. I was able to know the time from a big wall clock that was placed before us. These new set included a young lady and a man and their hairs were already shaved. They later shaved also our private part and armpit in preparation for their ritual.’’

Another victim’s experience

“ Few hours later, I was surprised to see another victim, a woman, who said she had spent over months in captivity. She boldly commended me for not taking the water they offered me saying that if I had taken it, I would have been unconscious and accept every of their demands ,adding that she is a mother of four.

She said she was captured with her four children on their way to church on a Sunday morning. Three of her children, she said, had been slaughtered.’’

“What followed later was that they brought the boiling pot where our hairs were thrown into and tried to force us to recite some incantations.

Earlier before that, I had seen a young lady who was brought before the pot to recite such words bearing a tattoo of scorpion on her right arms but she screamed Jesus! When the man that was performing the incantation saw the tattoo on her body, he refused to perform the rites on her, saying her blood was contaminated already.

At this stage, we noticed that there were different buckets for sensitive parts like head, ears, private parts, etc. they were placed on top of a slab which butchers use in killing animals. The bold woman told us that politicians and ritualists thronged to the place to buy those parts.

My Freedom

“While all these were going on, I did not know that one of the ritualists was watching me. At some point when I refused to recite those words, the man who looked like their leader ordered that I should be beaten up which they did. While they were at it, I shouted severally, Jesus!

And I even called many names ascribed to God. Fortunately, on hearing my strident voice calling on the creator, their leader rushed out and ordered the boys to dispose me at the nearest Bus-Stop.’’

“The gang members threw me inside the bus and dropped me at the back of Agbara market. Still in shock, I trekked from that market to Federal Government College, Ijanikin to beg for money from my relatives who stay in that area.

It was like a nightmare but I experienced it and survived by the special grace of God. I will not wish my worst enemy to go through what I passed through because it was so traumatizing .

That is why I am passionately calling on security agencies to move into action and raid all those hide outs because some people are still there helplessly waiting to be rescued.”

Germany makes all its universities 100% tuition-free
Posted On 04 Oct 2014By : Web MasterComment: 0Tag: Germany, News

Germany may not be in the top 10 ranking of the just released Times Higher Education world university rankings, but insofar as students from other countries as concerned, German universities are number 1 if only because the country is 100 per cent tuition-free.

This happened on Oct 1 when all universities in Lower Saxony declared their schools free of charge. Lower Saxony is the last of seven German states to charge tuition fee.

“Tuition fees are socially unjust … They particularly discourage young people who do not have a traditional academic family background from taking up studies. It is a core task of politics to ensure that young women and men can study with a high quality standard free of charge in Germany,” The Times quoted Dorothee Stapelfeldt, Hamburg senator for science.

The tuition-free policy, which started in 2006, covers also foreign students enrolled in German universities. While state governments then began to charge €1,000 in response to a constitutional court decision that collecting fees didn’t breach Germany’s commitment to universal post-secondary education, students pressured the academic institutions that eventually led to the scrapping of tuition fees.

However, while the news made German students as well as parents happy, some universities disagree with the policy.

“It is a for the university … We were obliged to spend the fees we received on investment in teaching, and it gave us the chance to improve the teaching and instruction,” Hamburg University Vice President Dr Holger Fischer catastrophe was quoted as saying in 2011 by The Guardian. At that time, Hamburg just scrapped tuition fees and only Lower Saxony, Bavarias and Baden-Wuttemberg continued to collect tuition fees.

To make up for the loss in revenue, Fischer said then that it would cut spending in some areas and by budget regrouping. He warned, “The level of our teaching will have to decrease dramatically,” since he doubted the measures would cover the losses.

Meanwhile, international students are concerned on the impact of a plan by Finland to collect tuition fees from enrollees that are from outside the EU/EEA area.
