@steve
did u visit the bank as u said?
we r waiting for ur feedback
Boss! Nor mind me, i just weak. I was @ union bank earlier today... Yes! They have FormA but the ishh is with the fund.. The guy in-charge said he's been on some(though,it involves dolls not euro) for some weeks now... So he said its a 50-50 thing... When i quizzed further about money gram,ria and western union, he said the said amount(8040) is too much for such transfer. I don't have an acct with them, had to collect the opening acct form. Any luck with yours?

To me,I still believe that even wen formA is stoped,as Nigerians we can always find an alternative.
using Ria,western union n money gramme is our greatest substitude
i inquired abt it yesterday the banker @ sky bank told me that they do it bt i must hv an acccnt with them.
and agn,these must be done as early as possible.

i don't knw if worldwide is working in Nigeria.
PayPal may be another option bt i dnt knw how it works
pls lets put our head together n bring a lasting solution to dis problem
agn,if u knw someone in any neighboring country,make an enquiry n gv us feedback here pls
Spot on bro... I read about Ria and money Gram online yesterday. I should be going to one of the banks later today... As regards the neighbouring countries, it might not work outrightly as our naira keeps falling everyday..... Modified

Yea...Honestly its tough to be a Nigerian.

The system is as corrupt as hell..do you know that this commercial banks sell their quota of forex to their allies who in turn sell it at black mkt.

For example..first bank of Nigeria Benin has a daily limit of 198000 naira for money gram...thats abt 840 euros (230naira to 1euros)....But the sad part is that u can never get this from them..as early as 8am they will tell u they ve exceed the daily limit ..come next day same thing...what do dey do?

Answer they send the money out to their frnds abroad (840 euros) who in turn send it back to them via azimo or whatever (309 or so to 1naira..) so evey day the guy sittin there makes abt 50k naira. In a mth they can make up to 1million naira this is just money gram ...they ve other sections where similar racketting is going on.

A friend of mine who is tryin to pay for accommodation visited 4 branches same problem..even went to Uba same issue...even the bank managers re involved...one banker confided in him that he didnt go on annual leave because of this racketting.

The cbn solution is also wacked...so we all shld suffer cos of a few...doesnt make sense to me.....as usual all their policies re wacked!

Why nt clamp down on the banks ..no if there is a problem u ban everything..no consideration for pple who re affected..what a sensless govt.

Same way they re askin pple to pay 50 naira as stamp cos we re broke and need to get money...when oil was $140 per barrel and the budget benchmark was $75 per barrel ..did we get 50naira free from the govt..hell no..



Did we save anything hell no..did we build infrastructures consumerate to our earnings durin the boom period nope...go to dubai.. u will see the evidence of oil boom.

Now back to the present administration...as usual wasteful as hell no econimic road map..nothing...the budget they presented is abt same as previous govt.

Very soon the naira will be worth nothin more than the paper it is printed on.

I ve no degree in economics ...but we re nt doing the right thing.

Its tough to be a Nigerian in 2016.


Just imagine 1miilion naira difference.

I wish u guys the best...
Sincerely bro, it's such a shame. If we say something now some clowns will yell at us for criticizing a government that's not up to a year... For heavens sake,when are we gonna get things right in this country? So we have to go back to the evil days of BDC for fees transfer as students? This is insane,do we have to suffer for the greediness of some 'potbelly' bankers? Smh for those people who wanted 'change'.... Please don't quote me if you're gona come out here to say the past government did worse. May God help us in this country, i believe strongly in God's plans for His people.

Forex Scarcity update: commercial banks in the country are raking in millions of dollars from a foreign exchange racketeering which has been fuelled by the acute shortage of hard currency in the economy, investigation by the saturday PUNCH has revealed. The continued acute scarcity,it was learnt, had been capitalised upon by the commercial banks who are now selling millions of dollars obtained from the CBN ont their clients' names at huge premiums above the #199 to §1 official rate approved by the central bank....... Source: Saturday PUNCH..... Mehn see as all these commercial banks dey scam them clients.... I believe this shouldn't affect student fees and anything related to transfering education funds... I am sure CBN carried out the investigation put a stop to all the evil activities perpetuated by our commercial banks as regards forex exchange.

Went to the German embassy in abuja all the way from kano as you said but I was so disappointed, they refused to certify my documents, claiming they are on break til 16th of feb.
Mehn! You should have e-mailed them before going na.... But all the same,someone gave you an option of certifying @ the highcourt or using a notary public. Funny thing is i certified my docs using both highcourt and a notary pub... They are all acceptable. The only ishh you might have is with your school,make sure you read through the specifications for certification of documents and you can also e-mail the course coord just to be very sure...

My Interview

We had to wait for hours because there were much applicants for family reunion.

Make sure you practice the mathematics questions posted on here earlier and do ensure you are good with your square root and Pythagoras theorem (I'm poor with figures, sure you don't wana be like me.. lol)

Though, i wasn't given mathematics initially because she asked me what i wanted ( na divine favor o). She gave me management questions: What is art of management? What are management styles? forgotten the other one.

I was given an S.O.P to write, reasons for going to Germany for Bsc/Msc (first applicant to write an s.o.p).

For my oral interview, they were the normal questions we've shared here.... Why Germany? Why the course? Why Bsc/Msc? Attractions in Germany? Your city? First president? Course modules? How many semesters? and other stuffs.

HINT: if i tell you say i ace the interview, then i dey downgrade God be that....... So tey the V.O offer me and my pal water (may be cus say she too delay us)... Just be focused, pray hard and have faith. God is the author and finisher of our faith.... God is just the standard.

Timeline
interview- January 12
Mail to fund- January 13
Db details- 21 of January and 2 of Feb
Am mail- 1 feb
Arrival of package- 8 feb.

I gast let you all know that i didn't use leadway nor IGI..... I used Standard Alliance Life Assurance (15.624), it's good too.

Disclaimer: I am not an insurance agent, just ask your questions here and use google anytime you are confused. Cheers.

All Glory to God.. The maker of all things.

With a sincere gratitude to the blessed 'TRINITY' i wish to share my testimony that my package was delivered to me today with my visa. The journey started last winter, though i missed out on getting an offer from Siegen (i applied late and was bitter, never knew God has a bigger plan). I got back to the drawing board with words of encouragement from beautiful people on here, God gave me a reason to trust in Him by applying to schools available for summer.

I had my interview early January and got the funding mail the next morning, with a note to correct the age of birth on my passport. Mehn! had to travel down to Abuja to face immigration but all thanks to God for His divine favor, i got it done within a few days. I scanned the new passport and sent it to the embassy, in between these days/weeks i kept on waiting for the db acct details (i was worried but had faith in God) before it was sent to me finally. Yea, passport corrected and db details gotten but here comes the funding ishh. Last week Monday the am mail dropped without funding, yea! Is God not awesome? With speed i got to Lagos few days later, and today my package arrived. Glory!!!!!

My appreciation goes to everyone here.... Dolpaz, Eke40seven, Kennyoguns, Canhelvin, Sonnyville, Honourableseyi, Adenjnr, Fapper, Futurewiser... And my Gs (femo and promise)... Abeg nor vex if i nor mention your name... Babanila, Lord..... and Twostep.... Much love people

This is just a pointer to greatness.... May God perfect all that concerneth us in Deutschland..... Amennnn.

My interview transcript and timeline will follow shortly. Cheers.

Guys abeg is Heidelberg a better place to stay in terms of finding a job while studying. I just want to confirm this before I send my documents to the school, was told deadline is March 4... So I wanna send the documents as soon as possible.

Bros! Stop working yourself up with the issue of what city to go... Send your app first,keep doing your research and reading up the thread. Send your app to as many schools as possible,afterwards you can pick the best. Cheers
