You will renew it at the Nigerian embassy there in Germany, you don't need to travel back to Nigeria for it.

Kendocity4u:

sameasy4real:

Aphrygian:
oga they are killing one bird with two stones, if movement at the borders then no cross country migration by bandits and bokoharam. I even wish the government can declare zero movements at the landed bordersi.e anyone see moving should be shot at.

SOME USEFUL TIPS
If you are having doubts about maybe the embassy saw/read your sent e-mails or not in instances like- sending of confirmation of BA, making inquiries concerning visa delay or other inquiries at alien offices of your intended cities. You can use google mailtrack to track your e-mails (Gmail users only), whenever the embassy or any individual read your emails, it will show a double tick and number of times your email was read and a single tick if it has not been read (you get notification for this, you can disable if you want to).

http://help.mailtrack.io/customer/en/portal/articles/1385608-installing-mailtrack

That is the link to setup google mail track on PC. Note that you have to install google chrome on PC and send the email (gmail) from google chrome but you can check with mobile after sending if it has been read. There are also android mobile set up which i am not very conversant with but for iPhone users, simply download Track - Email Tracking (the app icon is a green capital T ), install and follow up instructions. you can send messages to your friends to test it.

Futhermore, for people coming this winter, Buy Jeans in 9ja, there are some good stores in 9ja with good thick jeans, One low quality jean is 29 euros up here, except you are OBO. Budget about 50-100 euros for good and warm winter jacket, gloves and money for winter shoes esp for places that snows heavily, it doesn't really snow in Berlin compared to Munchen. Get ready to buy thick Duvet. Sometimes you have to close eyes and buy good stuffs, and stop converting to naira when you wanna buy stuffs, it helps sometimes. If you are coming around November to December, you have to get some warm wears from 9ja, else you will perish in cold from the airport. Get 2 mouth extension, change your laptop cable to 2 mouth (not the powerpack, you know what i mean), bring bed spread and curtain, clipper, flashdrive, bring flipflops, liquids are not allowed on the plane but some people travelled with palm oil (make sure to tie it very well and wrap it), if you are using BA, come wit about 400-500 before you unblock, if you are SL, budget about 2k for the first 4 months depending on the city, remember you start spending euros from the airport. Don't bring unnecessary stuffs like rice, spag, salt, sugar. Bring garri and noodles and condiments like maggi and curry.

For Travels and movement in DE: Download the DB Navigator for general travels (Train, buses, Tram, etc.) and if you are coming to Berlin, download the BVG Farhinfo app (its shows you the fastest route and how to navigate easily. I will say google maps is mostly important for directions on short distances and to know durations of long and short distance travels as well. It is important to have mobile internet on your phone if you are new to a place and going out. There is also FlixBus, it is like a subsidized bus travels mainly from cities to cities and to some EU countries.

For residence permit- for cities where you have to wait about 1 month before you get your card, and that is after 1-2 months before you get appointment in some cases, and you know you need work to survive, you can ask your RP officer on the day of your appointment to give you a temporary work permit, it is like an A4 paper with all your details including passport photo and it will be stamped, the paper will state that you had applied for a RP and the type of permit you will get including the number of days you can work which is 120 full day or 240 half days in a year. First thing first is to get an accommodation which is a prerequisite for city registration and issuance of a RP.

For health insurance, its a 2 way thing, the school will say public health insurance if you are not up to 30 years and private if you are more than 30, my guys not up to 30 years are using Mawista 33 euros monthly and it was accepted. Don't know how they did that but you can make inquiry from your school. TK and AOK is around 107 euros monthly. But public is better than private, if you fall off a bicycle or get hit by a car or have a serious ailment, the public like AOK pays everything but if you are using private, you will pay yourself at first and the private will reimburse some back depending on your insurance subscription with them which you must provide proofs for and trust me, and trust me these treatments are expensive.

And lastly, learn the language while you can, in big cities like Frankfurt, Munchen, Berlin, you might not really need it but in small cities, man you mostly need it to get a job at least A2 level. In all, you need the language to be open to more opportunities.
if you will be staying in Bremen, Stuttgart, Rastatt or areas closer there or if you have friends living there that you can stay with, you can always apply for vacation job at Daimler Mercedes-Benz, for working students, they pay 15 euros per hour and you get to work 35-39 hours weekly depending on your contract (Do the Math) and you cant combine it with school work, thats why its called vacation jobs.
Here is the website for Daimler Mercedes-Benz: https://www.daimler.com/career/job-search/

madenigga:
So The German embassy did not reset there data base again.

People who booked before October still have active bookings, why did they mislead us with such wrong information on there embassy site.

Honor10:
This is a step in right direction, it will be difficult at the beginning, but this will force our local producers to step up their games, and we will have abundance with time.

I commend the president and the vice President for this.

anayolity:
Good move by the Nigerian Govt. even though the man dey mess up!!! Most of these West African Nations dey always feel say we no dey add any value to their economy....this time around all men go dey their dey and develop their own. .

Nevertheless in all sincerity , though i am not an expert in economy analysis i would love to buttress more on the fact that this could be a very huge loss to Nigeria but like i said earlier i'm not an EXPERT!!!

I don’t even need the degree self. I’m just reading so I don’t pay another school after this year. All the hard work on education didn’t reflect on my result, so I kissed mama goodbye. Lol.

solmusdesigns:

And I’m struggling to maintain my 3rd class. See life.

kamtrix:
Happy Sunday guys. I want to know, for a graduate, is a 2.2 a bad result? Does it hinder one from certain opportunities and does it make employers not Like you?

Please help

Lucid1:
Uncle, there are more Nigerians in SA than South Africans in Nigeria.

If a war were to be declared today, who’ll lose more citizens?

SA have more investments, yes but is it right to value money over the lives of citizens?

I won’t reply you again, you’re probably less than average intellectually

CC19:
You take it along with you for the interview. However, it's best you fill it on your computer (it's an editable PDF file) just to prevent errors that may come with reading handwritings

Any hotel without cctv should be fined 1m naira



Since they dont care about security

What Nigerians are hoping to hear is: Buhari declares war on SA. Dumb ass mindset

Bolusticus:
Igbos are people who are generally averse to paying taxes, one of the reasons their states don't fare well IGR wise.

They also find it hard to repay debt. They make bulk of the top 20 debtors on AMCON list.

And the reason is obvious.

sassy92:
1. You should have waited till you got a date before funding.
2. Read through the thread, this date issue has been a major issue and discussed extensively. If you read through you'll surely get information that'll be of help.

Thank you.

GISpro:
Actually, the only reason why we open the thread is type crap on it. There are millions of people who have zero interest in the show. Yeye show.

And not everyone avoids the show on moral grounds. Some people just think it makes absolutely no sense to be watching a bunch of deluded folks acting crap and having sex with one another like lab rats.

Just the same way some people think it's absurd for them to watch 25men running around for 90mins because of a leather ball.

How much does DStv cost? With 20k you'll get DStv. Even China phones are more than 20k.

No matter how much nairaland push this crap to FP, I remain indifferent to this show of shame.






Nonsense and BBN.
