The way the cameraman has been showing Oyin this pool party.

Either he has a crush or this is her farewell pool party

I feel so sorry for Blue and her fans.

This competitive Chimsom who doesnt like losing has taken her as his next mission and I dont see him letting go even to the point of seeming like a perv, and I dont think she's that equipped to reject him

At least we go rest small from her yapping

Safarigirl what kind of magician worked on Goddessa's legs?

Thought she had a foot injury cos I saw her limping last time I watched. The way she's been dancing in this party so far.

I hope she doesnt add scamming to her other sneaky ways

Friendly25:
This is sounding like something Angel would say. The girl knew all the buzzwords from "Patriarchy" to "Pick me", but she was a glorified entitled call girl that depended on men for her survival.

It's either you're a misogynist or simp or weak man, it really doesn't matter for me as long as reciprocal respect is practised.

There'll always be something to complain about i guess.

100% on the bolded.

Could never understand how that girl had the level of supporters she had then. Particularly not when you accuse men of being misogynistic and the society being patriarchal.

Oh, she knew all the buzzwords too. This was a girl who went into the bathroom when males were bathing unprovoked and came outside and started comparing and rating their d*cks size. Imagine if that was a male.

I used to get really annoyed at her entitlement too. With Angel, you either disliked her or really liked her, there was no in between, guess thats why she made the cut for All stars. At least I can admit now that she was good reality tv at the time

MamBi:
There was a day someone talked about Martins being a dirty boy. Could it possibly be him? Or the gist sounded like it was about someone still in the house?

Omo na Ricky oo.

I even just watched Mercedes interview with Ebuka and she said she thinks Ricky doesnt flush his poop in the house.

That boy don suffer from BBnaija women this season with the way they keep questioning his hygiene

Ricky and his brother Tram dragging last position

Only players to be buzzed out so far lol

Ok Tram is funny. Im starting to warm up to him a bit with his dark humor

safarigirl:
It is 2AM, and these people eye still dey shine, their voice still loud

Some of them took nap during these brainstorming for the task, so, they may not sleep for a while longer

I don tire mehn….dem too active

Dont be deceived, na all konji abi na exhibition for their love interests.

Cassi is there fooling himself while monitoring Neche, Chimsom is als there cos both Blue and Kamsy is there.

And Sultex is just there watching hoping to get lucky with any girl who's interested despite his undesirability to all the women in the house.

As for Blue, I dont seem to know who's auditioning for her or who she even likes with that her loud yapping mouth

Those of you who stan Ricky are in for some defending this season.

The way Blue mean am ehn, she's not leaving his neck anytime soon. See how Sheba just dodged his kiss now sef.

The way these girls have been rejecting him subtly sef.

Someone is about to get the smelling housemate tag of the season.

Blue and Abi talking about the person and I know its a boy cos na only wetin blue sabi yab be that. But I wonder who the guy is

I just rewinded now, and it does sound like It's Barry or Ricky they are talking about. Omo color me shocked. Well, maybe I didnt hear well cos Big brother has interrupted them and asked them to go wear their mics

Big brother don mess up by interrupting that gist but ABI was asking blue why the guy smells so bad. I do think its Ricky though from what I could pick

safarigirl:
Nah, it was Goddessa singing the South African songs, Neche did back up the first time they were compiling, but when they had all their options, Goddessa was singing the songs to remind them before they made the final choose, she did most of the singing down to the Zulu. I remember because when she finished, she was asking which one they should choose, and Tram told her, “I believe in you. Anything wey you choose, I dey with you.” because even he was impressed.

I like that my ship is giving me performance. Happy with everyone involved, especially because our man never siddon talk rubbish with all those boys. Man wey no go use jamtalk disgrace you outside >>>>>>>

Would explain why she chose the name. There was some South African pop girls with the same name but that was a very long time ago.Maybe there's some music association somewhere.

BTW, Did your Godessa just pick up a Potato that fell on the floor and eat it. That Kitchen floor that people wear all kinds of footwear on .

Also, for some reason, the cameraman is obsessed with this Goddessa, Her screen time is way too much

For some reason, I want to know who Blue likes. Her mouth and how she slights all the boys any given chance ehn?

Does anyone know which boy she's genuinely attracted to. Safarigirl do u know?

I did notice her stiff body language around Barry earlier in the season and would have guessed he was the one if Neche her friend wasnt there.

Kamsy is another girl who bores me. She strikes me as a girl who's not getting enough male attention in the outside world with the way she's been behaving so far. She's also forcing this triangle thing and to be honest it's not giving.

safarigirl:
I know say my ship get haters for this thread, but I will burst if I no post my observations, so…

The way Goddessa handled the brainstorming session today, I’m sure Araga fell in love again. At one point, they were suggesting Amapiano songs, and she was singing the songs, like speaking Zulu/Xhosa, and he and Yusuf were chatting between each other and staring at her in admiration, and I could see how impressed he was.

The way she held the attention of the housemates gathered, the fact that they were all so quiet, paying attention until she finished, and then they even did round of applause…

There is nothing men love, than seeing their women in leadership positions. E no easy to follow HBIC. It’s like a bragging right.

Me sef I was proud of her, and I like that after the session, Araga went to tell her how impressed he was by her, and was begging her to sing for him later.

Anyway, my romance writing brain was incredibly tickled by this interaction, and I just wanted to post it somewhere. Thanks guys

I may have missed the bolded but at some point I thought that was Neche. Plus I heard some french too.

And yeah I am one of the haters of your ship. Their fake drama at times doesnt help too

Friendly25:
Hey brother, how your side na? Long time no type, hope you've been good?

So yeah, your analysis is on point, but i still think the prize will be a strong tie between Ricky and Temi. Temi's ginger might reduce it Keivo leaves, except if she tries Barry again, but that one has friend zoned her and is still not over Godessa despite virtually bagging the ultimate fine girl of the season.

Nomy might go far,but the housemates, especially Tram , have clocked her. Tram hours ago said he'll ignore her and the housemates should as well, otherwise she'll keep gathering fans like Tacha and Lucy did . Toxic behavior sells heavily on BBnaija.

Moreso, i feel Nomy is also suffering from konji and a lack of male attention. Her face lit up when Godessa told her Cassi was interested and even though Godessa kept calling him names and trying to poison her mind, Nomy had a coded smile on her face. If Cassi even cuddles her, she'll lose her bitterness and might even start cooking for the house. A satisfied woman is one of the friendlest people you'll ever meet, they smile like hyenas 24/7.

Blue is a kid,but at least she sees what Neche doesn't. She trusts none of the guys in the house and doesn't mind waiting till the show's over to know who's genuine. But I'm not sure Neche can wait, she's getting hungry and Barry has been saying and doing the right things.

This your Ricky sha. I still dont see the hype yet maybe cos I havent really been following plus I dont think he has that much supporters anyway, at least not to the point of Top 5 if I'm being honest. But of course, we are still in early days and things may change.

About the bolded, True, every one of the women on these show who's displayed these toxic behaviors tend to behave better at some point when they get their desired male attention. Tacha did with Seyi especially with the secret room closeness before they later became sworn enemies. Ceec with Tobi too and I think Nomy is starting to fancy Cassi in the way you suggested, he's defended her to a large extent and a part of me likes that about him. Not everyone has to think in the same direction like all the housemates

As for Neche, to be fair, I did think she'll be very controversial especially how she went about the Ricky thing. Explaining all over the house and even embellishing some details, but ever since then she's carried herself well and generally been laid back and gentle with everyone. I guess that incident with Ricky is just the Ricky curse and luck with women - which he alluded to in his intro.

I however think she's lucky to get with someone like Barry instead of Ricky or worse-off someone like Yusuf who wont mind romping her on live Tv. I do think this season, the housemates have shown sexual restraints so far but this could also be cos Big brother for some reason hasnt turned up the AC like he usually does these past seasons.

safarigirl:
I will rather Temi wins, than the other options. At least she gave us highlights, from fights to her dance floor shenanigans. The other potential winners are Borites

Yeah I think so too.

I've looked at all the housemates and I just cannot get any winner energy from any of them or put a finger on who amongst them it could possibly be

I think this was one of the things the producers got right this season. But looking at social media and its analytics is why I pointed to Temi.

The producers can go a step further from the gambit and take away voting power from the viewers at time. Maybe bring in past or evicted housemates to vote people off and damn the consequences

Yeah, I dont like Chimsom Chuka and will probably never do this season.

The way he keeps bringing up Gerrard in this conversation. Shebi he's left the babe for u na.

Another Jason Jae is upon us. Damn!!

Infolenka:
Temi Nkem isn't winning shit. First of all no girl with foreign accent has ever won BBNaija. Secondly Temi has no aura and no x factor. Every female BBNaija winner always has that extra spark. Temi is as bland as raw cabbage.

For several seasons BBNaija has always revealed bottom three. It's not a conspiracy like you are assuming

Finally, Ojuju face is the perfect way to describe Goddessa. There was a time I lost ereccction when the face of the girl didn't align with her sexy body

I just think this season will be as unconventional as they come - No matter who the winner is.

To be fair, as much as we may dispute it, there's always a chosen winner who people tend to push back against just like how some us kept saying it was Imisi last year. Although, last season was a bit more obvious compared to this one

I still think it's Temi though, maybe if the gambit thing were changed in later weeks and some unexpected dq or BB brouhaha, only then could it be someone else. But fingers crossed though

Back here again.

Although I havent really been following this year, just snippets here and there. Although I did think I would be passive during 10/10 but it was really good a season and dragged me in. Sadly I dont see this one doing same

Can see my guy from last season Friendly25 here too. He's probably the most well informed and well versed BBfollower here, I'm constantly in awe of his recollections and how he draws parallels and contextual comparisons from various seasons of BB despite how early those seasons may have been.

Quite similar to Safarigirl too who's really really good with this stuff too but her biases for some housemates sometimes gets the better of her, Just like friendly's exaggerated sexual innuendos does too at times. But make no mistake, these two are people who many of us look forward to their analysis and reporting. They've got lots of depth when it comes to the comprehensive housemates evaluation, and breakdown of their personalities. And I want to use this opportunity to thank them and let them know that even if some of us cant say it, we actually do appreciate.

Now to speak on some of the housemates this season and what I think of them.

Goddessa - Seen so many talks of her but I think those who talk about her having sex appeal are right on the money, but that's just about it to her nothing more especially when you look at her ojuju face. I also think she's quite sneaky judging from her conversations and her holier than thou atitude post eviction.

Chimsom - This one annoys me a lot, and to be fair to him, he's actually given it his all - wagers, house drama, ship triangle and he's also quite competitive too. I just think he sometimes exaggerates his capabilities especially with his talk of people envying him. I also think he can be quite sneaky and he sometimes reminds me of Jason Jae with the way he tends to overate himself

Bluetopia - She's the confirmation I've gotten after watching Dede and Nengi that younger ladies do actually have way more sexual restraints than their older counterparts. I remember it got to a point last season Friendly25 had to say Dede was asexual as she wasnt giving in to all the fishes sexual energy despite them being all over her. Anyway this was before Kola finally got lucky whether it was kiss or whatever. Blue is giving that vibe and hers is even worse as she's usually in way more closer proximity with dem boys with all the touches here and there. I hope she has the strength to repel them all season. Asides that I like her personality too albeit she can be very childish, I just think she gives off good energy and is a good vibe most times.

Temi Nkem - If I were a betting man, I would call it as it is, she is most likely going to be winner. I know y'all will say the season isnt predictable but we all know that's not the case. I also have a feeling the big brother team did show Kievo as bottom 3 on purpose to cannibalize some of her votes with the ship thing. Also, the gambit thing worked and may have tilted people away from Flora but it did seem to head towards Temi as she's winning people over with her antics and bubbly energy even though it comes across as calculated at times, especially with the camera peeping.

Tram - I dont like this one, well I generally dont like braggarts, so maybe that's why. And this is me who's usually drawn to young male characters of Big Brother. Thabang is still in my Big Brother hall of fame till today. For Tram, I just cant connect though. I am just amused by him and find him annoying at times. I just think he's very childish with his whole streamer bla bla bla energy and his constant bickering with the women in the house

Nomy - I know some may think the opposite but I think her strategy may still work for her. I also dont think she's as bitter as is being said when she clearly came to play the Tacha script plus I also see her try to rationalize her wrongs at times and sometimes I see the logic in some of the things she says. Could also be because I dont like Tram. But I suspect her antics especially with the strike think may have won her those supporters that like to support controversial housemates - just like Beorn said

Ricky - I'm yet to see the hype beyond being tall, millennial and a fine boy. I dont understand those who had the guts to compare him with an Adekunle when he's just a Teddy A in my opinion and I did hate Teddy A in his season. One thing I cant stand which Teddy A had lots of - was feeling himself too much without any substance to show for it. But I dont think Ricky is that arrogant though, just a laid back personality who's still yet to impress some of us and show us what he's about

Aikou - Was drawn to him, his calm demeanor, how he spoke, his honest intentions, retrospection and his desire to grow by learning through his journey in the house but sadly there are times I find him underwhelming. He really needs to give more and show himself more as it wont be long before some of us start to view him as Ricky as being without the action

This is just about it in terms of the housemates that I can remember at the moment, but I'll be watching and chipping in from time to time and when time permits. Please forgive my typos - if any

bugatti453:
Hope your brother got a positive response?

Yeah, he's already in Germany too.

The process was long and exhausting too. But at least that phase is over.

I think you'll get your docs back with the visa in a couple of days, as from you response, it seemed the notification on the portal was positive

tecchy:
Had my appointment today. The interview itself was mostly what you'd expect: my qualifications, how I got the job, and contract specific details (salary, hours, start date, where I'll be working, etc).

But to my surprise, I was given a written test. That threw me, because I haven't come across a single Blue Card applicant who mentioned being tested. Everyone describes a short interview.
I studied Computer Science, I've been working as a developer since, and the role I'm going for is in the same field. Tho some questions weren't the things I actually touch day to day but I answered what I could.

Has anyone here experienced this? Interested to hear from anyone tested, whether on the Blue Card route or not.

Dont think this is an issue, I hear its quite common with the interviews at the German embassy recently, probably just to stave off posturers.

But as long as you get the minimum answers right, dont think anyone has reported ever being rejected just on that note

bugatti453:
Had my Interview on the 9th of June. Got an email yesterday that I should check my portal. Logged into my portal and saw a message that a decision has been made. Tracked my DHL package, it has not been sent out yet.

No other link or message again.

How do I proceed from here?

Who has experienced this before?

The highlighted should already tell you the answer. For instance, my brother received his docs back couple of weeks back but the portal is yet to be updated.

If the response you received on the portal was positive, then its just a logistical delay and they'll probably send your documents within the next few days. But if the response on the portal was different, then that should already communicate what your staus is.

tecchy:
Quick update, I've now been booked for a physical appointment

Expectedly so.

Congrats.

In your interview, Please ensure you know every detail even if minute of your exact job offer and align all of your responses with your employment contract.

Good luck.

JIGGERNAPPY:
You're wrong here, you can apply for different Visa category without getting a reject. As it stands, the Blue Card is the fastest route and will be given a priority. The only way it might be an issue is when the ask her to book an appointment on both OC and Blue Card, of which they will write her to delete one process, it doesn't cause a denial. I speak form experience.

Don't delete the Opportunity Card yet until you get the Blue Card Visa.

Note: something might go wrong along the process of your Blue Card and you'll have to fall back to the OC.

The view is strictly mine!

You are contradicting yourself here and that's maybe because you dont understand the question being asked.

Why would anyone apply for Chancekarte when he already has a job offer?.

In certain embassies, this would almost mean a rejection as your intentions to come into the country may be seen as conflicting, i.e running 2 contradictory visa applications, first application for job seeker visa (Chancekarte) and a second application for a work permit with a job offer already

What if both applications come through at the same time. Which one would he prioritize?, I hope you know he would be required to submit his passport in both cases

Even if the opportunity card were to go through and he is asked at the interview about his job applications, the moment he says he has a job offer, they would either ask him to transfer or it would be an outright denial.

Anyway, he already said he didnt have the blocked account, hence why he didnt go through with the application, but I guess it worked for him as it's helped him land a job offer.

And to anyone reading this, please always do your own personal research as neither of us can be fully certain of what may and would work

JIGGERNAPPY:
Hi Tifay, I have someone who waited for 12 weeks before decision was made and he was denied based on the salary threshold. However, with the fast tracking procedure, both salaries are evaluated and if approved by the Agentur für Arbeit, 60% has been done. Then it only boils down to credentials, how authentic your certificates are.

I suspect the part time offer was possibly the reason why it took that long. The evaluation, back and forth before ultimately deciding

Probably wont be the case if it was just the blocked account he used. Although I think there are peak periods or holidays that can be partly responsible at times for long decision making

tecchy:
Thanks, that's reassuring to hear, I'll share an update once I get the appointment or feedback.

On the job search, happy to share what worked for me:
I focused on tech, specifically AI and software engineering, I think that was my biggest advantage since I already work in enterprise AI, also have built a couple of personal products myself. The role I'm joining is in AI engineering, so it was a close match.

I used linkedIn and applied to roles that matched my background. Building in public helped, I've been sharing my work online for a while (conversations came up around some of them during the interviews)

I went through a series of interviews and a couple of technical tasks before the offer came. I'd also be honest that there was a bit of luck involved, as that was the only interview I landed.

I don't speak the language, my colleagues speak English (just started learning the basics now). I also never schooled in Europe.

Happy to answer anything specific.

Nice.

This was a good read

One last thing though, Depending on your long term plans for and in the country, I'll say you most likely will benefit a lot from learning the language.

Please try and incorporate it into your plans

tecchy:
Thank you, I know you actually can't be under active consideration for both, I'm only on the blue card now, and withdrew the opportunity card application. The Blue Card is the only live application. Thanks again for looking out, or are you referring to a different mistake?

Oh now I understand you.

Thought you were still on the Chancekarte route.

To answer your question, You shouldnt have much to worry about, Blue card applications are generally faster in comparison to the Opportunity card. Although, I suspect that at the moment, it is currently a peak period given that lots of applicants are awaiting next steps.

Also I think not getting any comment and push back after your last round of corrections is most likely a positive, You should possibly get a notification to book an interview appointment within the next 2 weeks max.

I think you are in a good spot though, I wouldnt worry myself too much if I were you. One thing you could possibly do for others on this thread seeing as you're a new poster is to tell how you went about your job search, what platforms you used and what you think put you at an advantage ( maybe you knew the language, your industry perhaps, worked or schooled in Europe previously etc) that'll be really useful.

tecchy:
Hello everyone, I stumbled on this thread last year "Migrating to Germany for free" sounded interesting, and I read it end to end to understand the process, eye opening honestly.
I joined the opportunity card waitlist, but knowing I couldn't afford the blocked account amount, I started job hunting, hoping to land a part-time role to meet the funds requirement. It went further than expected, I went through an interview process, the company suggested I look into the blue card instead so I could work full-time, and I eventually got a full-time offer that clears the threshold. So I'm now on the Blue Card route. Got my ZAB done in about two weeks (Blue Card priority) and submitted.

Thank you to everyone keeping this thread alive, I genuinely wouldn't have known where to start without it.

One question for those ahead of me: I had a few things to correct at the preliminary review stage and fixed most of them. After the last correction required, which I completed over a week ago, I haven't heard back and the portal still shows preliminary review. Is that normal? Earlier, correction requests came within a day or two, so I'm not sure if the silence means everything's now in order or something else. Would appreciate any experience.

I'm not sure you did the right thing and your application will most likely be rejected.

You cant apply whilst being under consideration for a Blue card as you have a full time offer already. You have to stick to one which in your case should be the blue card.

Since you have a full time offer, I would advise you strictly stick to the blue card and possibly withdraw your opportunity card application.

BTW, this is just an advise, please feel free to do your own thorough research before deciding

JIGGERNAPPY:
You don’t need to as long as your documents are ok and no forged one.

One of the most important things you can do for this journey is to evaluate your Degree through Zab. Even though your Degree and your School is on Anabin. It saves the long process of verifications and makes them perceive you as being ready.


Also, make sure the company intending to give you the contract goes through Agentur für Arbeit to evaluate the salary and see if it is matches the role they are offering to you. You might be denied even though your documents are ok but your salary doesn’t meet the minimum threshold for the role offered.


If possible, ask the company to help you do a ‘Fast Track Procedure’ it means ‘beschleunigtes Fachkräfteverfahren‘. It will cost the company €411 to do it. Due to the cost, not every company will want to do it but if they eventually agree, after your physical appointment at the embassy, within 4weeks, you'll get your visa approved.

Interesting.

What then is the typical timeline?. I thought 4 weeks is already long

cyberbro:
If your results are complete in the GCE, no need to upload WAEC in addition. As long as you have your secondary school testimonial, that's what matters.

Think using just the WAEC would be more appropriate. The less docs you have to explain, the better.

With the GCE, he'll still have to upload the secondary school testimonial

DJ28:
Good morning house, with the attached screenshot, does it mean I'm on preliminary review. If yes, how do I process Dr. Walter Insurance for the OC?

I dont think the insurance is compulsory at this stage. It's under the additional docs section.

But it'll be mandatory to go with it for your interview, so you can wait and do it then so the dates on the insurance makes more sense

I'll tell you what I suspect to have happened having been through a deleted profile before.

First question I'll ask is where did you get the message or idea that you had 30 days left?.

It is likely that the 30 days is from the day they sent the response and not when you saw it.

The portal doesnt notify you immediately they respond - There is 24 - 48 hour window minimum before you get the email prompt. Unfortunately, you didnt account for this.

Another thing you could and should have done was to actually look at the comment in their response. They normally and would possibly put the date it would expire and be deleted there. It's very easy to miss if you dont actively look for it. Sometimes, the comment is in the additional documents section and not the compulsory one so you could have missed it. I will attach so you can see what i'm saying. We also learned this the hard way

I think your best bet now is to call and email them but I doubt that may be useful at this point as we've not seen them reinstate a deleted profile, maybe they have but no one here has mentioned it before. Your best option is to probably start again and also mail them with your circumstances asking them for a fast-track
