Good evening guys.

I have an issue draining my life and my emotions. It goes thus; I have just graduated from the University with a degree of 3rd class in mathematical sciences(IT). It is so hard to accept but the deed has been done and I have to start looking forward. so, I want to make an enquiry if there's chance for me to do a master in the USA with such low degree or if they also accept 3rd class graduate through PDG. please I need your advice on this.

thank you all!

Not gathering certificates again, in IT specialization is King, what can you do? Project Management , Programming, UI Design, Consulting, SAP and a whole lot more.
Research and see the one that best fit you not school school school again.

Nice one boss.
Just help me generalise, for someone staying in let's say Lübeck, which is relatively close to hamburg how much can he/she make in a city like that during the semester and semester breaks. Have u seen students involved in exportation of vehicles, how possible is this?

Thanks Braket, I didn't want to hijack your thread therefore asked for permission.

You'll still need to buy like a half ticket to Hamburg as Lübeck ticket doesn't cover and reach Hamburg.
As for job to survive as a student, you need German not certificate one but speaking and writing, this would get you a student job in cities like Hamburg, I can't speak for small cities.

As for car business, remember your permit of study is for study if you violate it and do extra unauthorized work without permission, foreign office might find out and Abeg no dey their matter or i didn't know the rules.

German first eben if your course is in English and thank me later.

Braket:
Impossible is nothing. You can go into importation if you have the resources and connect. But don't get caught sha,because as a student, you're not allowed to own a business.

I really can't say anything about the city. But what I can advise you is to find out if the semester ticket gives you access to Hamburg and how far it is by train. Then you can visualize working in Hamburg.

If Braket allows me to answer this question openly, i would.
Permission needed to answer this question.

Braket:
Hi guys, it has been a while but studying and working is a scam in Germany trust me. Those two words shouldn't be used in the same sentence at all. Except you speak German and you have a working student contract(sometimes you get this without speaking German but it's rare). Anything apart from that, trust me you're gonna be stressed.

To imagine that it is because of studies that I haven't had time to give update here oh, talkless of then combining work with it, mehnnn..


I expressed my first snow after 18+ years. It came as a surprise that blessed morning sha. Everywhere just rice without stew.

You go soon graduate from unskilled to a professional job but you need one vital key and I see you are working on it: Language to a very confident level not on certificate or B1, B2 levels.

If you got IT skills, search for 1st Level,2nd Level Support job, or student jobs relating to your course of study.

Goodluck and greeting from HH

Thank you.
I’ve actually started doing some practice on this. Would there be any need to have certificate to be eligible to getting an IT related jobs over there??
Anyone??
Please your help will be highly appreciated.

Bro if you know how to code, no one would ask you for a certificate but you would be discussing, what you want to earn per hour. Please focus on mastering and becoming a good programmer not a "certificate one"

If you don't pay tax, some others do. BTW that is our madness in this country, freedom to do anyhow, freedom to drive anyhow in traffic, dispose refuse anywhere, on noisy generator anytime even in the midnight, play music at over high volumes not minding next door neighbor, freedom to be mad and nobody go talk to you.

Na so one man start pig rearing in my street, he lives in the same street and sees the level of air pollution his business is causing yet he keeps postponing when he will transfer the animals. Reports have been sent to every form of authority but d man just d settle them and posting residents here. His last promise was January this year but I learnt the animals are still there.

In short, our unguided freedom is the cause of our madness and bane of development.

One of the reason i always come here, something funny on the side as always.

mirabest:
Wow that's great. Please just try to notify me when you will be writing on life in studienkolleg. I'm highly interested

Search on NL, some users already wrote something on Studienkolleg, like I always say, learn German till B2 before you come.

Ndkings1:
Hi guys, please I want our ogas already in deutschland to help say something about this...
Is this still true ?

What's the question? I disagree first with UK, when it relate to cost of education.

Festellungsprüfung got you busy, wishing you all the best and get your 1,0.

janettee:
I plan to do this once I'm done with Studienkolleg. There's a lot to write about it. I will do that once I'm done. I will be done by April ..

But I think I can shortly write about the procedure:

Please note that I'm not on student visa and I did my language course here in Germany from A1 to B2 before applying to Studienkolleg. B2 is better if you intend to attend Studienkolleg cause the entrance exam is B2/C1 Standard. Some Studienkollegs accept B1.

In my opinion B1 is not enough to pass the German entrance exam.

If you have your language certificate that's when you can now apply to any Studienkolleg of your choice. It's good to apply to many so you write multiple entrance exams and maybe you might be lucky to get into one.

You are not allowed to work while in Studienkolleg on student visa. You are only allowed to work during holidays....

Don't expect Studienkolleg to make you to be perfect in German. It doesn't!.

Please house I need your ideal on this. I was issued a.m but on submission of my international passport,
my application was rejected based on irregularities on my passport and passport was seized and sent to Nigeria immigration service abuja. I went to immigration to resolve the issue and a new passport was issued to me and a letter of authentication. I sent an appeal to the embassy 3weeks ago and I have receive thier decision on my appeal in German which I have translated to English. I want to know if I am banned and also can I reapply with my new passport and a new application. Also I mailed the alien office in Germany about the irregularities on my passport and they requested a submit a new application. Below is the translation of the letter I received from my appeal. On 05.10.2018 they applied to the Consulate General Lagos to issue a visa for the Federal Republic of Germany for the purpose of studying according to Art. $ 16 of residence permit (hereinafter referred to as Residence Act). For the processing of the visa, the general conditions for granting were met. $ 5 reviewed. According to $ 5 para. 1 no. 2 . residence pays to these eligibility requirements also the absence of basically expulsion. Basically expulsion result in the fulfillment of the conditions of the $ 53 (1) residence. in the case of a public expulsion interest. In contrast to the expulsion itself, the visa procedure does not require a check to see whether the foreigner was able to be deported in Germany without errors. The expulsion facts must be met only objectively. By presenting the Nigerian passport with the number A5043, which was provided on page 6 with four totally counterfeited border checkpoints from Malaysia and Nigeria, as well as on Siete 7 with a totally malnourished visa from Malaysia, they meet the criteria for an expulsion reason, because according to $ 54 (2 ) No. 8 lit. a) residence argues that giving false or incomplete information on obtaining a German residence permit is a serious expulsion interest. Thus, according to the above-mentioned legislation, visas may not normally be issued. The margin of discretion opened by this provision includes the verification of the proportionality of the visa refusal. Since conflicting humanitarian interests and the existence of a protected family relationship are to be answered in the affirmative, the failing decision is proportionate. The discretion does not include the question of intent on presentation of the falsified documents. even if the question of an intentional or negligent act should play a role here, it should be pointed out here that it is the responsibility of the applicant to ascertain the authenticity of his submissive before the application without doubt. Also the topicality of the reason for expulsion is not objectionable, since it deals with the fake ID document about the current passport with which the visa was actually requested and the entry was intended. The application must therefore be rejected further. In addition, it is pointed out that the other conditions for granting, from o.a. Reasons were not finally examined

Germans don't joke with false declarations in front of a public officer.

You stamped your passport using (you know) but forgetting that all airlines keep flight list and probably share it german authorities too.

Secondly passports are scanned in every point of entry and yours only got stamps!!!

Bro even if you get a new passport, i think you got a ban already and it might be a Schengen ban.

Next time, don't engage in any false declaration.

Too all reading this few lines, make false declarations and they are waiting for you and them go catch you!

Adeomam:
NO!

Your sponsor must be a resident in Germany. It doesn't matter if you have the same surname or if you're related or not. as long as the person is living and working in Germany and the person is ready to sponsor you.. then you're good to go!

Maybe the UK resident should find out with the German embassy in the UK.

KamsyIvy:
You don’t apply directly to the Studienkolleg. You apply to the school and for the course you want. After checking your results they’ll decide if you could start directly or if you’d need to attend a STK.

You can actually apply directly to some studienkolleg through Uni assit and some also accept direct application, if they still do it.

Eldeee:
Good to see some newbies creeping in gradually. I will like to leave this words of advice

* kindly read through pages of this thread, start from the very first page, the information contained in the very first page will help you to get started if you are yet undecided. if you possibly can, go through other versions as well eg part two, three and four. Believe me, you won't regret doing so. The information you will get here is a goldmine awaiting for your perusal. You will virtually become much more knowledgeable and be able to help some who are confused.

** Search thoroughly through daad and google for courses that suits your interest, make sure you check the course contents very well so that you know what they are offering and what you stand to get at the end of the day. Don't just enrol into any course you see because you want to travel out, take note guys are getting extra semesters as coping up with the level of their studies no be beans

*** please endeavor to learn the German language while you're preparing to go there for studies. it will help you to integrate very fast and moreover give you access to good juicy offers at will. it seems to be the meal ticket for the basic hustle there. There are several good videos you can download on YouTube while you study them offline, also try to download duolingo app on your mobile device.

**** For science based students, it will be more ideal if you learn programming language before you go for studies, you will definitely not regret doing this if you eventually do. This happens to be another good meal ticket for the basic hustle over there. Germany is a highly technological advanced country and this happens to speak more volumes if you do learn them. You get very good high paying jobs if you learn them and this will even pay you better as you will somehow get to see them in your course of study.

learn the following good programs if you possibly can : python, Java, matlab, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and some database mgt packages

***** Accommodation seems to be quite a problem in some cities mostly the very big ones. so it's good you get yourself acquainted with studentenwerk early enough so as to possibly stand a chance to get a cheaper accommodation as this happens to be the major expenses you will incur per month, unless your papa na dangote, otedola, adenuga, innoson and the very likes.

please endeavor to read through this thread thoroughly, cos if you ask questions that have already been answered here repeatedly, you stand to get people angered including I myself. Even if you need to ask which is not wrong anyway, ask specific questions which appears confusing and not vague questions, someone with such experience will quickly come to your aid. We want you to be a solution to the problems we already have and not being the problem so to speak. Pls endeavor to help one another with your wealth of experience and knowledge. let's uplift one another just like the Jewish people do. One love brethren.

Make I kukuma rest small, I need am wella. lol

Finally put everything to God in prayer.

Thanks again for this.

Don't forget the bolded.

Stop promoting Affiliate marketing. If you don't know MMM, NOSPETCO, Swiss Gold, Double your money schemes are all Affiliate marketing.

Any type of marketing that forces you to bring a customer before you enjoy any benefits is a flawed product and marketing concept to start with. It is a pyramid scheme.

It is mostly wrapped in deception and end up in tears. Every good product sells itself to a certain extent.

You are wrong about this, get informed before uttering jargons Oga Ade

ElRapido:
As it stands, the government has two options; to buy the domain names from Olumayowa or to include Nigeria Air in the gov.ng sponsored top-level domain. The latter is very unlikely since the carrier would be run as a private entity.

Also, failure to buy the domains would put prospective clients at the risk of being misled and defrauded because NigeriaAir.ng or NigeriaAir.com.ng would be the default go-to places for many people.

Therefore, it is safe to say that Olumayowa would be cashing out soon, even though he’d only be getting a fragment of the ridiculous amount we imagine would be budgeted to develop the National Carrier website.

@Op
On a Sunday morning please get your facts right, the Vatican didn't get those wealth from people's freewill giving, they sold the false gospel of giving all your earthly possession in return to people making heaven, when they die

awoyam1:
Personally I feel tithing is a very complex issue.

I feel the main ideology behind the blessing of tithing is all about sacrificial giving to a good cause.

Since the beginning of time, one law of God that touches all mankind is the law of giving.

God gave us life, gave his only begotten son for our salvation. God could have decided to save mankind without giving, he is God he can do anything but yet God gave all he had. Why? It is intertwined in spirituality that giving brings blessings.

Until a seed dies first it cannot bring forth fruit and life. The giving must be a form of sacrifice. God could have saved humanity with no stress, why did Jesus have to die such a terrible death, I feel because that gift for salvation must come at a price.

Going back to tithing. If I give my neighbour a part of my money if he/she is needy and that giving comes with a price, then I would benefit from the gift of that sacrifice, I may not need to tithe. Bill gates, Muslims, Dangote, Atheist etc all do that. There is psychological term for it called Altruism- giving to make you feel good. But actually I believe the feeling of good is a return of blessing but psychologists minimized the tangible return effect of the giving by focusing only on the emotional return giving causes.

I know a Muslim he was building a mosque in his town. He was very slow to complete it because he feels once he stops, the blessing may stop.

But as a Christian do I have to start looking for my needy neighbour every time. What if no one comes to me for help. What then do I do.

This I where I feel giving every month to a church comes in. I don’t then have to worry about looking for a needy neighbour. I would rather give to a bible believing church fully knowing I’m giving for a good purpose. The percentage of what you give is just the value or price of what it costs you. 10% of anyone earnings is a big sacrifice. I actually believe if you give more that 10% you get more blessings.

A lot of North Americans give for good cause by giving to their church. People just feel it’s safer to give where their heart is and whom they trust. People choose the church only because of trust. In my church here in North America, the account is published, they receive more than the church budgets for every year. It was a surprise to me.

The idea of looking for a needy neighbour is very tricky. They are lots of scammers out there. How do I really know who is needy. I would rather give to my church first and then give to someone else afterwards who I feel is needy.

God owns the church. If I trust my church and give to it, I’m directing giving to God. Complex issue though. But if I give to my neighbour, I may feel I’m helping the needy but I may be wrong about how needy that person is. It’s a gamble.

Finally, one thing I know about humans is that if an habit isn’t beneficial people wouldn't do it. Simple. Let’s ask why do people keep giving to the church. Humans beings are not naturally stupid. Humans have changed their behaviour and evolved over the years if they see no need for such a behaviour. But giving to the church as remained for many centuries. Why exactly. The Catholic Church is the richest institution in the entire world. They have their own city. (Vatican City). Why? Years of people giving to it. Why do they keep giving to the church, because they see a return in blessings. Charity giving to non profit organization worldwide keeps dropping Year after year. This whole idea Pastors force people to tithe does not fully justify why humans give to their church. If it’s wasn’t beneficial to them, how would a Pastor force them. Pastors don’t have access to peoples accounts. I’m talking worldwide here.

Very importantly Africans really are not a giving race. We are very self centred, reason our continent is the way it is. We rarely sacrifice for ourselves. If the pastors never preached about tithing, many would not give and may not have benefited from the blessings of giving.

Also the way the media and people outside the church paints this issue of tithing is like they assume most church goers tithe. When I was in Europe the Pastor told me it was very few people that was maintaining the account of the church. He said most people are in church are there to receive not to give financially. He even mentioned they would come asking in boldness because they assume all the others where giving. They would count the church population and multiply by 10% and assume the finances most be great. They would then ask for their share. It’s less 10% of the church population that tithe faithfully.

I never used to tithe consistently until 2012. I am a very practical ‘somebody’. I told Wife I’m going to experiment if I indeed I receive blessings like it is in the bible. To the glory of God my income has increased every year incrementally since then. I am even afraid to stop now. No Pastor forced or preached to me. My pastor in Europe never preached it. It was a total miracle to me. I repeat every year my income has increased. Even that same year 2012 I took time off to work part time and I earned more than 2011. I earned almost double of the income of 2011 in 2012 . My employer told me they made a mistake in my salary grade and returned a big cheque to me that year.

That doesn’t stop me from giving for other causes still. Last week gave a girl that I work with $50, she had a baby. I was very tight on cash that day but just gave her. Within same period a client left exactly $50 for me. I’m not saying it works like a charm or juju method. But I knew it was because I sacrificed that money. My body was dead to itself when I dropped that $50. I needed that money for something that day but forfeited it. I actually returned the $50 back to the client that left it. My work place policy states you can’t receive money from customers. But it was a lesson for me.

It’s not every time I give that I expect a return.I have done sacrificial giving with no expectations at all but when I see my children in good health and doing well, I get a good feeling and I know I don’t need a tangible return of blessing. I feel that altruistic feeling psychologists described. God himself felt very good afterwards after he gave Jesus for my salvation.

Finally I repeat, tithing is a complex issue. Everyman to himself. God is the one that sees our hearts.

Doing anything apart from what Jesus died for simply means "Anti" therefore i call you an Anti Christ.
It states clearly, who malachi was referring to, not you but the priest.
Not giving to the needy,poor, widows and foreigners as you call it "Tricky" simply makes you an Anti Christ again.
Lastly, Sheeple, read you bible well, it's 1% not 10% and God doesn't need your tithes, worship him in praises as you are covered by his "Grace".

So long as we continue celebrating Church Auditoriums and not state of the art Labs, green houses for food production, factories, schools etc, we will never eradicate poverty

God bless you my Dear.

HigherEd:
Before anyone comes to tell us the usual story of how we should be building industries and not churches..

Pls note that the aim of the church is to further everything related to the church. People who give to church don't give to church to "improve" Nigeria but the Gospel. So pls channel your frustration to your elected govt officials who are responsible for improving Nigeria.

If you want churches to improve Nigeria, then let's hand over the VAT, Pet Tax, CIT, PayE, Wharf etc to rccg or lfc church because the way it looks as though the churches are managing themselves better than how govt is managing our lives.

Like the Germans exporting billions of dollars worth of goods and services were busy building temples on every corner of their country.
You opinion is shallow and hold no water.

Is this establishment registered in your name as a joint owner?
Lastly, Did you attend the rccg University?

@presiade,Williamso n all

Most countries requires a six months legal residency to apply for their visa.

Berliner1:
No.

Ausbildung is just like formal handwork....you dont need to sit down in university 247 learning how to paint or to program....most of it involve learning by seeing, practical stuff.

Also kindly note its 85% in German and you will be paid
monthly average 500 euro for 3years.

You cant apply for ausbildung visa from Nigeria.

Ausbildung is not run by universities...its run by companies.

100% in German
Nah, below minimum wage and most companies pay higher than that, mostly first year is around 700€, 2nd and 3rd year are higher than the intial pay.
