How does creation of Anioma have any relationship with conquering anyone? Have been to anywhere near Delta state? You guys just sit in your village and be pokenosing on other people's affairs. Go and recover Ilorin before you come and talk of other people becoming conquered.

Its just the normal incestous relationship and misogynistic treatment of women in the fabled book of stories. She was actually his sister and it was a recrring theme or motif of women being given away as some sort of commodity. Abraham did it 2ce, Isaac did it with his cousin and wife Rebekah, Lot did it with his virgin daughters and that bleeped up tale of the levite that cut his concubine nto 12 peices after she was raped. In the case of Lot and the other guy their male guests were demanded for to be raped but they were like no, dont rape the men, rape the women instead😄. bleeped up stories.

Why do you sons of devils speak so stupidly most of the time and talk off point?

Is it not after God laid down The Law of incest that you know incest? Even you and your family are born out of incest.

Men, i pray trailer uses you as road mat!

Na Anambra I do NYSC. Igbo beggars dey everywhere, but you can't compare to those who were born to beg, that's the Almajaris from the desert. But to say Igbos no dey beg, that na nonsense talk. Even in this Lagos, I have seen Igbo beggars in Alaba and Ladipo. They even walk around in group singing Igbo traditional songs, Ani shey na Adewale and Ogunronke dey sing traditional Igbo songs for Alaba and Ladipo?

Sophisticated ones dey, unsophisticated ones dey, no tribe is left out...

Everybody go open mouth just dey talk, you think it's easy to give someone respect and he just threw it away like nothing.
He said he called the coach with his doctor and told him he was injured, he wasn't faking injury the coach was really wrong if that was what happened, we are still waiting for his reply.
For those saying he can't try it in Napoli, Napoli pays him a lot of money every week he is there to play and make his money.
No be this super Eagles wey you go win something the former president go carry 20,000 Naira give you.
You dey craze after risking my legs and wasting Energy you dey tell me I dey play for honor with all the criticisms and insults we citizens go give you. Why don't your politicians rule for honor?
Osimhen gives his all for the super Eagles just like Ekong and a few others, it will be a shame if we carry our mad mouth to make am retire early for international football, Mikel tried and retired,he gave his all even with all the insults, same as others na like this una start with Enyema.
He even tried his by bringing am for Instagram.
If na the other one C Ronaldo wey carry him own go organize interview
If na me na National TV una no dey craze because say him be footballer.
Him na footballer no be Reverend father.
The other one wey call part of the nation dot people,una no see am criticize

All the sexy football analysts will never agree with you, as far as they were concerned, Paseiro was a carpenter!

And a haramist lol...

Thank God, we've seen what can happen when you change coaches abruptly, not that we didn't know, people just wanted to see attacking tiki taka football, only for a team that was working well as a unit under Peseiro to start running kiti kiti aimlessly all over the pitch and allow Benin to pull a Bayer Leverkusen on them.

Ndidi dey mark Onyedika, Lookman dey intercept Onuachu, Boniface dey defend against Onuachu. Really? I dey laugh but God knows anytime Super Eagles lose a match my mental state dey disorganize. People close to me seff dey gimme like 1 hour before they talk to me after such matches.

We sha move.

Don't come here to spread your usual hate... If Nigerian nationals around you are committing crime, report them to the appropriate authorities, nobody would blame you for that... Let them arrest & deport them, but we know most of you are just jealous of the successful ones among them... I won't talk too much.

Y'all always blame drug dealers, but we see your people attacking legitimate foreign businesses, not the so-called drug dealers.

Come to think of it, your own people (South Africans) are some of the most ruthless criminals in Africa. Lots of Nigerians have been attacked, robbed and shot during their stay in SA and none of them came back to bad-mouth your country.

Even SA people dey jealous una now abi?

Total disgrace .

I hope you get your Biafra in due time.

Your people are involved in all manner of rubbish that is eating into the fabric of another people's society and you are here saying that they are jealous of you ?

Are you people normal ?

The drug wars in SA are between your own people. Not a day passes that a cadaver is brought back to Nigeria of one of your own people murdered in a drug turf war and you are here saying they are jealous of you?

I really blame the British for yoking descent people in Nigeria with you guys.

Don't generalize bro! There's still beggars everywhere including Igbo land...
All over the world, there's some people who choose to beg rather than work...

Amunike has more coaching education than Finidi. Finidi has a Uefa A license, Amunike has a UEFA Pro A and Masters, CAF Equivalent to Pro A license too. That to me already puts Amunike as better.

It is not by writing they are the same but give reasons.

Finito.

Theory. We saw Amunike's output in Tanzania. Did you not see Keshi's output in Mali and Togo.

I doubt Keshi had the paper qualification of Amunike.

Have you ever heard me talk about UEFA coaching this or that? I don't reason theoretically. If you have all the UEFA badges and you can't do it, of what good is the badges? If you don't have the badges and you can do it, why should I worry about the badges.

Think practically. Not all these theories.

You know the truth about Nigerians in South Afric they’re their criminals.just today a Nigerian couple got life in prison for human trafficking. Nigerians in South Africa are robbing each other boss

natedensel:
Yea but seeing a guy arguing and bargaining at ridiculous prices especially with foodstuff is something else, it's as if ground should swallow me.

Park one side, even bill gate dey bargain talk less of you. Especially in Nigeria that people don't have fix price and will try to extort you, except you have money that you think you shouldn't bargain, those bargaining are not doing anything wrong, take note!

there is a level one gets to in life that we should drop some shitty behavior and gutter language we use at people esp when you are well known in your circle/area/community no to talk of across the world.


At that stage, decorum in behavior and action is what keeps you going higher. I DNT know if he will feel good if his team mates in Napoli and frnds see this video.

what is "eni kure" , "Ogun go kill una".
Nooooo now. It's a big NO. such gutter talk from a supposed role model to your coach?

you DNT use such dirty talk because you wnt us to know say you too sabi all dos dirty street language.

Even if you had spoken to the coach about your injury prior to that time that you won't be available and ask the coach if you can com around to cheer your teammate. That stil wasn't you shud use as your alibi for your distasteful outburst.

The coach was wrong accusing him. Osimen was double wrong based on the way he responded

Goke7:


except you have not followed the eagles for long, once a player is about to be axed from the national team, he will be termed as disrespectful and before you know it that's the end of the player's national team journey perhaps the reason for his outburst, all that you are saying is not even the real issue as the player in question did not even play in any of the qualifiers so why make him the major subject now? that's how enyeama was thrown out after a row with Oliseh and same thing is about to happen again. Is it fair that a player who did not feature in the matches should be the one taking the major hit now? Think again or continue to focus on his reactions as if that's what will make us qualify for the world cup.

.


You are 70% right. Did Figiti conducted a fitness test on osimhen to ascertain his fitness or injury level? Why single him out for backslash what about Ekong?

Shebi him talk say Ekong was injured but he played in charity match. Though I do not support what Osimhen did but figiti NFF cannot be exonerated from the blame.

Subzerooo:


Bro are you saying that countries like Benin or South Africa or Mali have better players than us, this thing is just a coach having a clear strategy and the players believing in it because normally a coach that has Boniface already has an upperhand in Africa not to talk of Osimhen

can one player play everywhere? Why are you not winning countries like SA or Benin easily if you have better players?

SaintUlot:


I saw your post about using lifepo4 battery for your Ebike, I ll like to ask you some questions about it, you can reach me on WhatsApp on 08035537864 and if you are comfortable dropping your number on public forum, you can drop it for me to reach you. Thanks

Send me a PM. Let's talk on mail.

[quote post=127757353]Happy new year nairaland family, wishing you all the best this year has to offer and actualization of all our goals and dreams this year.

This forum has given a lot to me and I believe it is time for me to give back to the community. Unfortunately this forum isn's as active as it used to be, so some of the information here are outdated. I intended to write this article a long time ago but procrastination .

I strongly believe everything we do in life is in stages, and no matter who you are or where you are, you will belong to a particular stage. Some people will be at a former stage and some at a latter stage, it is therefore my hope that someone can learn from my experience and avoid a lot of common pitfalls, as I also did and learnt from others before me on this platform.

[NB: this was my process for my[b] MASTER'S STUDIES [/b]NOT UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES]

I will walk through my journey from the start up till when I got my visa. Almost 2 years in the making, not for the faint hearted.

STAGE 1: This stage actually isn't compulsory but it can make your journey much easier. (NOVEMBER 2021) I had just finished my undergraduate studies, and instead of going directly for my youth service, I enrolled in a 6 month programme to learn german from a german learning institute in Lagos, as of this time the appointment/visa process took 6 months. It was quite tough learning the language, the language proficiency level ranges through (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) with C2, being the highest and A1 being the lowest. For most Universities in Germany particularly for (engineering courses) you will need a minimum of B1 to apply for admission. For more reserved courses like medicine you will probably need a higher language proficiency requirement B2 or C1. Moving on, after 6months I wrote B1 certification exam at the goethe institute (this is where you should always take the certification not anywhere else) similar to IELTS but german. Needless to say I didn't make it on the first try. I decided to retake and waited for another 5 months, this is because goethe only conducts it's certification exams a certain number of times in a year like 4 to 5 times (as of 2022).
During this 5 months I went for my NYSC and started personal study in preparation for the exams, while I was serving I retook the exams and passed all the papers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1. Learn the language if you have the time, it saved the me a lot of stress down the line.

2. I advise you enroll in goethe if you want to learn the language, as there are a lot of benefit, as compared to other private establishments (cheaper fees, familiarization with the exam systems, ONLINE CLASSES, materials and so much more). Unfortunately I learnt this the hard way.

3.Do not take the exams if you are not adequately prepared but because you want to meet a certain exam date. you will waste money!!

4. Get your certification from goethe they are the most recognized in germany.

5. As of November 2022, B1 exams cost #48,000

6. MOST IMPORTANT. I regret not having applied for my appointment during this period. Always apply for your appointment as early as possible even if you are just starting.


STAGE 2: I applied for an appointment for a masters visa (category B) on the 7th of APRIL 2022. Make sure you find out which category you fall under either (CAT A, OR CAT B) and apply accordingly. As of this point I didn't know I would have to wait for 18 months for my interview, beacause during that period the waiting time was still 8-9months.

One has to be careful during this stage beacause you have to plan your admission carefully around possible expected visa date.

KEY TAKE AWAY:
[/b]1. Make sure you apply for the right category, with the correct details. I had an incidence of someone at the embassy sent back because of incorrect details.

2. No matter what, even if you are getting frustrated do not cancel your appointment except you have decided to change your plans.

3. Be patient and keep in mind it might take a long time.

4. German embassy visa application: [url]https://nigeria.diplo.de/ng-en/service/visa

[/url]


[b]STAGE 3: During this period of waiting for your appointment you have the following goals:

a. Gather all you necessary documents for both visa and admission purposes.

this will help for the visa requirements: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/nigeria/germany/student-visa/


b. Get an admission before your appointment date. VERY IMPORTANT. It doesnt matter if the shool would have resumed or not.

c. Get your blocked account or sponsorshipl letter(SL) ready. This will make your process faster

While I was waiting I gathered all my necessary documents for my admission:
waec, university certificate, unofficial-transcript, statement of purpose, reference letter, IELTS cert, German cert from goethe.

with this, I opened an account with uni-assist and sent copies of all my original certified documents to uni-assist (NB: Cerification can be done by any notary public, it doesnt have to be at a court).
With this I was the able to apply to any number of schools I wanted without having to send my documents multiple times (NB: not all schools use uni-assist so few may still require you send your documents).
The fees ranged between 75euro - 30euro per application. At this point I made crucial mistakes and lost some money, I unfortunately applied to 2 schools which resumed very early while I was still waiting for my appointment, so I had to forfeit my admission since I was not ready to pay semester fees for schools I knew I wouldn't be able to resume in time for, so plan wisely.

I aslo opened a blocked account with expatrio to block a sum of 11,208 euros, which is the amount required by law, the advantages of using expatrio is that it comes with both health insurance for admission purposes and travel insurance for visa purposes. I can't over emphasize how this saved me a lot of stress down the line. Getting the required amount was by no means an easy feat, fortunately for me this was before the floating of the naira so the exchange rate was lower then compared to now. And the easiest way to get this was "black market" if you want it done quickly. It might be frustrating to block such huge amount while waiting for a long time but it saves you in the long run agains the fluctuating exchange rate, If I had waited till late 2023 to block the account, I would have had to pay almost 2million naira extra, so be wise if you are using a blocked account.

so in summary during this stage of waiting, I gathered my document, applied for admission, and prepared my blocked account.
and you should have the following additional key documents if everything is done right:
1.A blocked account confirmation/ SL - (for the embassy)
2. Admission letter and if possible an erollment certificate - (for the embassy)
3. Travel insurance - (for the embassy after visa approval)
4. Health insursance - (for the school)

And lastly, make sure you are engaged doing something, fortunately form me afer serving, I was retained and kept on working while waiting for my visa, it was also during this time I took the IELTS to help boost my chances of getting an admission. While waiting, on august 2023 I applied to a school in cottbus via uni-assist for a fee of 30euros and got an offer on(after 3 months) october 2023. It was this offer that I used before the arrival of my interview on december 2023.

KEY TAKE AWAY:
1. Use uni-assist and DAAD to search for suitable schools and apply, it will save you money and time:
uni-assist: https://my.uni-assist.de/login
daad: [url]https://www.daad.de/en/
[/url]

2. Apply for admission strategically, since you may not know your exact possible interview date due to the fact that it is always changing (as of now 18+ months, when I started it was 8-9 months). Do not apply too far or too near, it doesn't matter if you can't resume on time, the most important thing is to have an admission on hand on or before your interview date, do not risk it.

3. If you are using a blocked account use expatrio, it is fast and will save you a lot of stress (they provide health and travel insurance which you will need for your admission and travelling respectively)

expatrio: https://www.expatrio.com/

4. Make sure you are engaged in something, 18+ months is a long time to wait doing nothing, you can take IELTS, learn German or continue working while you wait. So do something!!.

STAGE 4:
I received my appointment mail on the 3rd November 2023. After waiting for 18 months from the 7 April 2022 - 3 Nov 2023, I receive a mail. to come in 1 month time for my interview (1 dec 2023).

I will talk about my interview experiece and things you can do to avoid pitfalls, and also the follow up to the interview.

After cross-checking my documents and making sure I was prepared I headed to VI-LAGOS for the interview.

1. Make sure you print all your documents from home the boys at the embassy areas are animals and will try to rip you off,

2. Do not worry about arranging your documents, that will be done for you at the embassy, just make sure you have everything on the checklist.

3.You have to get a prepaid envelope before heading to the embassy for your documents to be returned in.

4.Make sure you carry at least 2 copies of every original documents like certificates. follow the visa checklist link I posted very stringently.

5.Be very time cautious they are very strict with time at the embassy make sure you get there before your interview time.

6. The visa fee is not the same for all visa categories. I paid 65,000 for study visa, that of travelling visa is different and so on.... so make sure you confirm,

7. Make sure you print out your email invitation very important.

8.Bring your money from home, you will be ripped off by the animals around the embassy.

9.I honestly believe if you do everything right the only business you should have at the business centre around the embassy should be to keep your bag incase you are carrying one, and to purchase a prepaid envelope. One of them tried to convince me that my passport picture is not the right size for the german embassy and I should come and take a new set of passport for 10,000 meanwhile it was perfectly fine, so be careful and wary of those boys.

10.Be wary of the man who collects/arranges document at the entrance and gives you your gatepass, listen to all he says and don't argue with him, let me just say he is a very unfriendly person, even the cranky securities are better than him, so just be careful.
(when he call you up to bring your ducuments do not take along the prepaid envelope you brought).

11.After he arranges your document, and everything is satisfactory he will usher you in (not into the building to my suprise) just beside the security post, my interview was conducted by a lady across me in an office opposite the security post, It took me almost 2 minutes to realize I had started my interview lol, I thought it was just another security checkpoint.

12 This was where the benefit of learning german paid the most for me, she was impressed I could speak and converse a little bit. She asked for my perosnal info name .e.t.c, the school I was going to, what course I was going to study, just some basic questions and lastly why germany and not any other country, in about 20-25min the interview was over.

13. I was given back my international passport, and If need be they will ask for me to send it to the embassy (I guess she meant if the visa is approved), she also explained that it is beacause of the long process they no longer hold peoples passport.

Fast forward, exactly 4 weeks later, I got an apporval mail and was told to bring my PASSPORT AND TRAVEL INSURANCE to the embassy.

I hope my little article helps someone who needs it, wishing everyone a wonderful year ahead, and by God's grace those who have been waiting for their inretview/visa will get it speedily. Do not give up, I almost did, but you guys here encouraged me to be patient. Goodluck all.

this our arrogance will never get us anywhere, we keep denying the fact that the coach had to make do with the materials he had then, I know the major grouse some of you have is the selection of players he took to the tournament but the truth remains we have tried several players and this free-flowing football we all want to see still has not happened. I wonder when it will. Thank God Paseiro is gone, I will continue to wait for the magic the next coach will do, one is down already, let's see what's next

Bro are you saying that countries like Benin or South Africa or Mali have better players than us, this thing is just a coach having a clear strategy and the players believing in it because normally a coach that has Boniface already has an upperhand in Africa not to talk of Osimhen
