Who is the person you used as a reference in your VIDEX form? If the person is in Germany, you need to provide their residence permit before you can pass the preliminary review. If not, you should change it to an organization.

Adelawal2011:
I wouldn't know everyone who got opportunity card visa. But my advice to you is to get a reference in german, as the embassy need someone in Germany whom they can reach if you have any issue. anybody can be your reference. Brother, friends etc

Laryfrosh:
I believe this is preliminary review stage, right? Please when did you join the queue?

Adelawal2011:
Your reference person must be living in Germany. I would suggest you update your videx form and replace your reference person with someone in germany and then upload his German resident permit or National Id card and German passport if he is a German Citizen.
Concerning the affidavit from you parents. I believe it relates to your birth certificate, you need to go to any high court in Nigeria and get an affidavit of birth attestation sworn by your father or your mother if your father is deceased. Then for the name inconsistency, you also need an affidavit from the high court sworn by you stating the names and clarifying that all the names belongs to you.

well it hasn't been easy, I should have been done with school but will be done this April by God's grace but I'd like to share my experience, dad died many years ago, things went sour. I finally gained admission, family members render the little help they can, I started selling clothes, oil and doing part-time job from 300 Level, last year I was able to save about 100k, I have saved money in advance for my NYSC so I can save the monthly allawee for a year, ill also look for a business i can do while i am there, by the time I'll be done with service I should have saved nothing less than 300k,. I intend going into business with that money, the little farming I can do with it, I am a furniture making apprentice already, I might take a side job to fall back on, save up and invest in agriculture and real estate. it hasn't been easy and isn't always going to be easy but this girl typing this must make it, I no fit dey jobless, do runs or steal and I know with God, hard work, perseverance, a good saving mindset things will be well. I can't even deal with poverty, had enough of it. Don't wait for the government, work on yourself, get a skill, a side job, save up, invest and believe God for the best!

I finished service since April 2017. It hasn't been funny one bit.
I battle depression almost everytime, I've contemplated suicide. Sometimes, I wish I don't wake up from sleep. It has been crazy.

It's almost 2years and I've not gotten a job.

I do dropshipping, buying and selling but business hasn't been moving fine. I can count the number of what I've sold since I started.

I even got scammed of my small money this week.

My mum has been really helping but I'm becoming a burden and it's obvious.
Some people around me help sometimes too but not without a price.

I pray God helps me.

With all sense of humility do I say that I planned my graduation. I told myself never to graduate and go home and start looking for jobs.

I started using my computer skills (In those days, we went to computer school to learn MS Office Suite, CorelDraw etc) and I did private home computer tutor from 200L. I also did tutorials for "Pre Degree" students and raised money to buy a car for taxi in my final year.

Everyday, I used to get N2500 from my drivers (most of them de f-up) and with time, they don't give me complete returns and I occasionally drive in the evenings and still get N2000- 11000(yes, some days are good) from 5pm -11pm.

This kept me going through my NYSC days (I bought a cleaner car during my NYSC) and it was my first job from Final year to two years after graduation. Whenever we went for CDS or to my PPA, ladies liked me to drop them off with my clean car with A/C but I told them my story and most was endeared to me
I later became an entrepreneur till date.

I am do any legit stuff to make side incomes too.

Let me give undergraduates a little tip of how to prepare for life from University. It is no more news that school may not teach you how to make money. Try from year 1 to:
1. Dress modestly, don't go for fashion and trendy gadgets but have the necessities you need
2. Keep friends who are working to excel in school and those who have businesses ideas (I am not talking of yahoo or betting)
3. If your parents gives you good pocket money or you can lie that you buy "thermometer" all the time just to have money, save more but don't suffer your life.
4. GET AS MANY SCHOLARSHIPS as you can get (I didn't enjoy this but my close friend did but wasted the money). Agbami pays Engineering and Science undergraduates N350k while Medical Students get N450k yearly. Shell pays N100k , Shevron etc. It is not a must that you will wet it but try. Again, these companies select people from oil producing areas then National merit. With good guidance from a scholarship agent like (google GMASS Port Harcourt), you stand a good chance.

My friend raked a minimum of N1.5m (Agbami paid him N350k and shell paid him N100k multiplied by four yrs - do the maths)

30k BMC salary has helped me so far,
I have my own car, house, feeding my wife and kids, going on Vacation. Helping friends and family financially. Ask other BMC, they will tell you how large they have been living on 30k

To all the Job seekers who toil daily going from one office to another in pursuit of jobs, I pray God gives you rest.
We must all understand that not everyone is designed to be an enterprenuer. Enterprenuers were created to build on their vision while Employees where designed to build the vision of enterprenuers (do not let anyone make you feel less). They both need each other. Wherever you find your fitting, give it your best.

The little money I had during my NYSC and with the support from my family, I invest on farming such as Yam, Casava, maize, guinea corn and tomatoes, I employed farmer, I visit the farm once in a month, right now i don't even need white collar job again.



My advice to my brothers and sisters, don't wait for government to do everything for you, start with anything in your street, when I first started I pass through alot of problem from neighbors, calling me names, a graduate became farmers, but today I don't wait for monthly salary, there are some works that sound so dirty but they're profitable.

nelronaldo:
Maddd. I got a job even before the end of my nysc but the 9 to 6 life isn't funny. I wish I have entrepreneurial skills and experience.

@OP I have something to discuss with you

I finished service since 2017 am already into web stuff like a blogger, although and I have learnt how to make sites appear on search engines and also draw traffic.
I have not bothered sending one CV ever since I just don't want the headech or don't know how to lol. Mind you I have job directory page but no job funny.
i know nothing comes easy but prefer a shop where I could sell things rather than hustling for 100k job.

Although blogging has it ups and down but there are times it pays super and there are times it does little be it as it may its sustainable like there are times or months making 600k there are months makes 200 to 100k, it all depends.

Please note : blogging is not easy, an average blog takes 4 to 5 months to bring anything tangible. And you must have a clear path as in good content that should not be plagiarism like you going over pages to copy and paste... I mean real information resource page.
