WaltherPPK: No need to email them, they will send you a confirmation and send a copy to the embassy. BTW, when is your interview date?

Okay, thanks. My interview is on the 28th of August.

Hello guyz,
Please I just paid 8090 euros into my blocked account today. Will the bank automatically send me the confirmatiom when they receive it? Or do i have to mail them about my payment?

pfanen360: Had my visa interview today. ...

They gave me a funny exam to write. . .

Please how long could it take to get a decision? And please when I am invited to get the visa stamped is there going to be a deadline?

Please, what kind of questions were you asked? Is it based on your field? Was it multiple choice or essay type?

Thank you Godson, futurewise and others,

I just got my blocked account details now...exactly 3 weeks

@Futurewise,

I realized you submitted your blocked account form to the embassy on the 18th of July, 2 days after I submitted mine. Please has the Bank sent you your bank account details?

hello Godson, I have submitted my deutch bank form to the german embassy in Lagos since 16th of JULY; today makes it 17 days. But I haven't heard from the bank till now. Hope it's not too late?

Godson201333: Nope,you are good to go,No problem at all.

Godson, thanks for your quick response. Please, I want to ask you one more question.
In the student visa document checklist, the third required document is:
ORIGINAL SCHOOL LEAVING CERTIFICATES OF SECONDARY SCHOOL, ORIGINAL WAEC-CERTIFICATE.

Does this mean only WAEC certificate? Or does it include Secondary School Testimonial as well?...i'm actually asking because i don't have secondary school testimonial.

Hello Godson,

Please will the following be an issue at the embassy?
I have the following names on my every other documents (i.e International Passport, University Transcripts, Birth Certificates and acaedmic awards) *FEMI OLUDAYO AKINDELE...BUT on my WAEC certificate, i only have two names *FEMI AKINDELE i.e the MIDDLE NAME was not added in the WAEC. Will this be an issue at the embassy? Do i still need an affidavit in this case? Your response will be highly appreciated

@Godson,

Thank you very much. Your response has been very helpful.

Hello Godson,
my university(an european university) is with my original WAEC certificate and can only be given back to me when I graduate or If I decide to cancel my admission, but since no visa is guaranted,it will not be wise to cancel my admission.However,I Was given about 4 photocopies of my WAEC, which bears the university's stamp and signature. Can i use one of these attested copies of WAEC to apply for the student vIsa? By the way,that was what I used to apply for my admission to rhine waal university, which I was given.
I kindly anticipate your reply...

pfanen360: Congrats bro...
What course were you given

i applied for international relations program. If u applied for an unlimited program e.g mech. Engineering, international taxation and law etc., u should also get admission very soon.

Please is there anyone else that got admission into Rhine Waal University? Perhaps we could get accommodation together in Germany, if we get the visa. By the way,Kellytop and Godson, is it true that you have to always provide another 8000 euros before you can renew your student visa in Germany?

I have just received my letter of admission today. Please Godson and Kely4top,how many days did it take the embassy to grant you the visa after the interview?

steelie: Hope you know SSCE is not recognised in Germany? Its better you write the IELTS exam before applying for anything online.Don't be in a haste.

There is a significant difference between recognition and equivalency. German universities, by all means, recognize our SSCE but it is not equivalent to their own educational system. This rule does not only apply to Nigeria, but also it applies to some other countries.

Secondly, it is not only an an H.Nd that can be used to apply for a B.Sc in Germany. An A'level or a one-year university transcript, at least 30 credit units, could also be sufficient, as long as you had a good grade.

Big aunty: please i need a quick response,i am about applying online( Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences • Kleve)

for Bsc biomaterials and then my sister Bsc industrial engineering or electronics engineering,can i apply for more than 1 course for my sister? our IELTS test is scheduled for july 13 can we apply online with the available document then later send our IELTS test result as soon as its out,then do we need to send hardcopies of our SSCE results to the school.do they accept SSCE results or certificate cos my sister ended her secondary education last year which her SSCE certificate is not out yet all she has got is her SSCE RESULT.

Rhine-Waal neither accept hard copies of documents nor uni-assist procedures. You have to send the required documents online. However, I am afraid that you cannot get admission into Rhine-Waal University this winter. This is because the deadline for submission of document, including English proficiency exam, is on the 15th of July. I should also inform you that they will not waive this requirement even though English is your official language.

Hi Topeajis and Godson,

I want to apply to Rhine-waal university to continue my B.SC studies in International Relations. The program is conducted in English. However, I only have the following documents;

1. One-year (two semesters) university Transcript in Cyprus(All A's i.e a GPA of 4.0 out of 4.0)
2. WAEC result(6 credits including English and Maths)
3. IELTS (7.5 overall)

Do you think I can get an admission with this? or do I need still need to possess HND? I kindly anticipate your reply

Big aunty: hello everyone who has written ielts exam,how exactly was it like,is it easy or difficult?hoping to write mine by july 6 in malaysia.

There are several reasons why people frown. Anger, depression, stress, tiredness, frustration, etc could cause people to frown. The truth is that many people do not even know they frown. Why to some, they do not see reasons to smile more.

A man once told me during one of my interactions with people, that smiling is an involuntary act and that he cannot force himself to smile. That forcing himself to smile could make people think he is insane. Are you are thinking like the man I just mention? Here is what to do. Trigger that smile on your face by being happy. You can involve in activities, keep friends that can trigger that smile on your face. Apart from the fact that frowning could cause frown lines and wrinkles to develop on your forehead, there are other disadvantages of frowning. On the other hand, there are lots and lots of benefits you stand to gain when you smile more. The following are reasons why you must smile more and frown less.

Your face is affected when you frown. The area between the brows and the muscles around the eyes are the worst hit.

When you smile, you feel and look happy. You smile more when you are happy and remain happy when you continue to smile.

It is more difficult to frown than to smile. This is because, you use more muscles to frown and far less muscles to smile.

You look and feel attractive when you smile and the more you smile, the more attractive you look and feel. The more you frown, the less attractive you become.

Friend are like magnet to a smiling face. When you smile more you are seen as being friendly by people and they would want to get close to you. But, when you have the habit of frowning you are sure to have less or no friend at all.

A frowning face is like a turn off for so many people. It is like a barrier. It is like you telling them to stay off. So, they obey.

Some people when you look at them they look older than their age. This could be because they cultivate the habit of frowning early in life or for a very long time. Yes, people get old fast when they frown a lot. But, when you cultivate the habit of smiling, you look younger and feel younger.

When you frown excessively, you are sure to invite frown lines and wrinkles on your face especially the forehead. If you must prevent frown lines and wrinkles, then you must stop frowning.

West African culture hasn't evolved to that extent....In majority of the western country, it is very common. It's not about HOLINESS, it's more about CULTURE

Mehn...it's really difficult. In fact, i just tried it for like 30 minutes now...it's like i can't breathe properly...

.

Read inspirational books (e.g Ben Carson and others) it will inspire you. More so, find a good place and position to read, it helps...personally, i love to lie down on the bed while reading actively because I can't sit for hours...with this method, I have continued to be on first class in University...

Note: you don't have to read for a long time or finish a long chapter at once....divide your academic works...it will make things easier for you.

I was about 9 yrs old then. My wicked home teacher realized that i didn't do his assignment.He decided to take me to his house where i can receive a befitting punishment(where mum and dad will not be there to save me)..he lived in a rural area where houses are not numbered(popularly referred to as Agbo ile).When we got to his house, this 'devil' beat the hell out of me,he even removed my clothes.He then went out and told me he was coming back(i was kneeling down by then)...he didn't come back.i relalized i had to go home...i couldn't find my way back. I cried so much because i thought i wouldn't see my parents again...after walking aimlessly for a couple of hours, Coincendentally, i saw our househelp then, she said she was on her way to the 'devil''s house to pick me up.I was so happy...i never told mum and dad what the 'devil' did to me.

It's just a pity that no amount of money would bring back the lives of their loved ones

Ramcie: Hehe! I just can't stop laffing. Oya guys look down, can you see it

what is the "it"

Mine is 4.0 GPA out of a possible 4.0 scale. This is my second semester.I hope to get the same this term!

No more comments? Or is it dat many of us are not in d university or didn't, at anytime, perform well in Uni.?

I'm also a Political Science and International Relations student. This is my second semester. I had a 4.0 GPA out of a 4.0 scale(equivalent to a 5.0 in Nigeria). I read all my academic works daily, start strong(by doing well in quizzes and mid-term),attend almost all classes, participate in classes.
Thus, they really work 4 me

Who Will Pay?

This is a really tough question since women are increasingly independent and may want to pay their way. I suggest that you offer to pay and, if she lets you, take care of the bill.

If she wants to pay, you can argue that you want to, but make sure you pay for at least half no matter what.


I don't need to argue naw! let her pay. It will extensively reduce my financial expenses.
