This doesn't qualify her of getting the permit still, that would have been the same if it was vice versa, Nigerians are out there in switz WITHOUT permit too

What are you saying? She is married to a Nigerian man and has 4 kids for him. Which country on this planet will deny you residency if you are married and have children with their citizen?

Chancekart was initiated last year to curb worker's shortages in Germany, and was launch worldwide in June 1st 2024... you live in Nigeria where getting appointment for application submission takes like one year, do you think it's the same elsewhere? I really assume you didnt comprehend what i wrote, so i will leave it at that. however, i think you should Cure your ignorance, it might help you someday!

I usually don't engage trolls on faceless forums! So dont expect another response!

Let me address the gibberish you wrote with facts, since you think you are a smart scammer.
you said

Chancekart was initiated last year to curb worker's shortages in Germany, and was launch worldwide in June 1st 2024...

So according to you, it was launched and people could migrate before it became a law, right?
How dumb can you be.
https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/kurzmeldungen/EN/2024/05/chancenkarte.html
From the above link, it became a law on the first of June 2024 and no one, I repeat no one could have gotten a Chancekarte before this date.
So, you see how your cheap scam was busted
You are just a hungry scammer looking for whom to scam on a faceless forum. Get a real job.

One of the person's we were able to help land an internship in Germany. He used the contract given in place of the Sperrkonto and sponsorship letter and get his Chancekart!

We can help you too.

All you need is just:
• Bio Page of your passport.
• Your CV.
• A Skill (handicraft or technical education is more preferred than Bsc or Masters).
• A valid email, minimum knowledge of Google translation skills ~ from German to English.
• Our service fee, off course... Then watch your luck shine too!

Always keep your eyes open and watch your email. They don't call. Once they notify you of any possible date for interview, if you miss it, you have your self to blame.

And this is a big fat lie, the Chancekarte only took effect this year, and in Nigeria u have a waiting period of almost 6-9months for your interview date. So, Mry CalmTravels how did you perform this miracle? All i see on this thread is SCAM!! SCAM!! SCAM!!

Mr CalmTravels , why should they contact you for a sponsorship letter? People run ohh, this is the new scamming scheme now, people charge exorbitant prices for the sponsorship letter and legally, they are not financially capable to sponsor more than maybe max(two people).
But, they will go ahead and send sponsorship letters to 20 people.

I earn 55k a month I have a wife and 3 children triplets b/g/b , I give my wife 20k monthly for house upkeep , I give my mother 10k my dad is late , and I use the remaining 20k for my transport , data , lunch at work and other expenses outside of my house , and I have been saving 5k in my piggy bank for rainy day ( I will break it on the 1st of January 2021)but my wife have complain bitterly that the money is not enough because she have to buy nappies , milk, foods for the children out of the money I should start giving her 30k monthly , I said I can’t give her more than 20k because if I give her 30k and what will I give to my mother , even that 20k I am left with it doesn’t supply all my monthly needs sometimes I am left with nothing before my next salary , my wife say I am stingy and this has been causing problems between us. Please I need your advice it’s a true that i am stingy ?

https://www.nairaland.com/6460665/regret-getting-married-mother-triplets Mar 15, 2021

Prospertochu:
I got my girlfriend then now wife pregnant, I wasn't ready for marriage. My plan was to take care of her and my baby while she stays in her father's house, her mother was fine with it as long as I take care of my responsibilities, but everything changed when the scan confirmed that she was carrying triples, her mother said I must marry her because there's no way her daughter will still under her roofs with 3 children.

I pleaded with her to give me sometimes to find my own accommodations because I was living in my father's family house after his demise I stay with his siblings while my mum left with my younger sister.

My mother in law refused saying I must do something fast because she doesn't want people to mocked her that her daughter has gotten pregnant out of wedlock not just with one baby but 3 so I managed to save enough money to get a place for our own but her mother refused saying I must pay her bride price first, I didn't have any more money so i have borrowed from friends and added to the money I had to pay for her bride price. It wasn't a big party just something small, I took my wife to my father family house where we are living now with our triplets but things hasn't been easy for me, taking care of 3 children it's not easy, I am grateful that I am rent free but household bills are killing me.

My wife and I are always arguing because she keeps asking for more money my salary is 55k I use to give her 20k monthly, 10 monthly to my mother and I use 20 and save 5k she said the money wasn't enough that I am stingy, I now started giving her 25k she is still complaining about the money not being enough. I refused giving her more she started staving me of sex and foods. My family are tired of separating us fighting almost every day, my uncle has asked us to leave the compound because we are disturbing there peace and I had to beg him to forgive us that ur shouldn't be happening again and I cautioned my wife but she is threatening to abandon me with the kids. I have told her to do her worse because I am tired of her madness. I wish I never married her in the first, all I could've do is to take care of my kids and let her be I know it's too late now to change the past but what should I do?

https://www.nairaland.com/6942012/tired-wife Jan 16, 2022

Prospertochu:
I am married with three kids 2 years and 3 months triplets, my salary is 55k. I used to give my wife 20k, mother 10k, 5k for rainy days and 20k for myself transportation and other expenses outside my house.

My wife complained that the money was not enough I added 5k making it 25k monthly but she still demanding for more money and she has threatened to leave if I don't give her more.

I had no money to give her, my own mother was homeless staying in church and I couldn't stop giving her that 10k because she needed it. My wife used to fight me every single day and my uncle asked us to leave the family house as we were disturbing their peace and I was ready to let her go and I will be sending 25k for our triplets upkeep every month but for the sake of our kids we have settled down with 30k monthly leaving me with 15k.

So far, we have moved out of the family house, we are staying in a parlour and room house a brother from Canada gave us the place it is not permanent but it is better and we are very very grateful.

Like I said earlier my mother was staying in church, now we have a one bedroom house I have discussed with my wife for my mum to come and live with us and I will stop the 10k I was giving her and I will add it to her money making it 40k monthly, she has agreed.

Now that my mother is here with us, she started again with the 40k is not enough to feed all of us, note I don't eat breakfast, I eat lunch at work and in the evening I eat at home. She is only giving my mother food in the evening while she and my kids eat 3 Square meal a day.

I asked her why she is treating my mother so badly she said the economy is hard if she doesn't have she won't kill herself. I am sick and tired and if I have sorted things it was for the sake of our kids and now I am starting to regret. I am thinking from this month when I get my salary I will give her 30k and give my mother 10k to be cooking her own foods.

Is my decision good?

Anybody else see what his final farewell message was? Justwise can you restore the OP’s final message so we can see what he wrote? At least give people a chance to decide what is acceptable or not. You removed his final comment and took down the thread before a Super mod restored it back. Isn’t that an authoritative decision?

And what do you stand to gain by reading his farewell message?
More data to buttress your point on how toxic Nairaland is?

I did not hid his post for disagreeing with me, i did that for his false allegation even when i have being replying him then suddenly he came up with that

Always resist the urge to shalaye

oyekan1997:


Thank you so bro

@bolded, they do

Then you have to contact your school and see if they can help you arrange the insurance. However, It is kind of tricky because you'll need a German bank account and an address to complete the registration process. In all, I would say, try and get an appointment at the embassy first, that is more important than public health insurance.

imran90:
Please @willy2000 can you talk about non students immigrants and what are the easy ways aside visiting visa to get to Germany

I am clueless just like you, Sorry

And his use of English is appalling.

laiperi:
May God bless you for this comment. Only a fool would deny that we do not have a problem.

Look at Victoria Island in Lagos, it was those returning that got allocation there. There are many allocation like that all over Nigeria. Someone was talking about Abariba the other day. Jos used to be a Paradise too.

However, they were bedroom communities. Some people know that but still want to come home. So they started creating projects to work and live on.

Guess what? Their own families duped them.

Guess what Nigerians do with the money. The same thing they do with laundered money. All the money sent home by these hard working Nigerians looking for their way back home are exchanged for Naira by some of their relatives only to be exchanged by big boys back into Euro and Dollars, then laundered out again.

Why, why? When people think their only Salvation is a ticket outside and everything not African is better, will continue to go in a vicious circle.

Those abroad investing their hard earned money to come back home but sonabasiwere looting it out. No matter what you say, they want out and call their villages all kinds of names.

If those at the top of their professions are dying to come home, how bad can Nigeria be?

It is not Nigeria, it is people from our individual families. If you get awoof money from overseas or loot in Nigeria, why not invest at home?

What is it about overseas where they hate your guts. Where they tell talented Africans superior in intellect that The Only Good Niggatt Is A Dead Niggatt!

Now you are beginning to sound like a broken record, too much hypocrisy in this post.

It is either you are have been banned from travelling, or you do not have the resources to travel.

People have been migrating right from time immemorial, and they do so for different reasons. Because a selected few refused to stay back doesn't mean some did not remain.

And please stop this rant about nigga or whatnot. If you think life is not all about money, then that explains the level of ignorance you're exhibiting here. People seek a place where basic amenities are readily available, I doubt you know what that means since you produce your water, run your generator, drive your jalopy car on death traps you call a road, malaria is a deadly disease. Your hospitals can't deal with it.

And I see no point in arguing with you, enjoy the little attention you crave. SMH

oyekan1997:


Thank you bro.
Please check the screenshot attached to this comment. That's what I was sent.

Okay, you need this before you can enrol, does your school have the facility for online enrolment? If they don't, then don't worry about that just yet, get your visa first and be in Germany, all other things will fall in place.

I hope you know that enrolment is not a requirement for a student visa application, It may help, but your admission letter is enough.

oyekan1997:
@willy2000
Please how can I obtain public health insurance for German university. I just got admission. Please help me ooo

As long as you not in Germany, you do not need any kind of insurance. Once your visa is issued you'll need travel insurance first, this will enable you to travel to Germany.

Please go through the student visa thread properly, I believe this has already been treated there.

heisenberg33:


I never made blanket statements. Can you point me to any blanket statement I made? I will be happy to clarify. It is you and the OP who made generalized blanket statements. I addressed and dispelled your statements and posts in 2 replies but they were removed. I do not make blanket statements.

Create your own thread and reference this thread, I will be more than happy to engage you there, until then, I will let whatever you type here slide.

@Bittertruth I have read all your comments on every German thread, I don't know who you are, but please, there are ways to critic people. The OP may have his flaws and say things that you may not like or maybe be false, instead of coming here to castigate and attack his personality, you can be nice with words and correct him appropriately, after all, you call yourself a teacher, you should know better. No need to be judgemental.
NB: I don't know the OP, never met him, we have had our misunderstanding here too, but hey, let's treat each other with respect, the way we would if we were communicating offline.


@All the op has made comments based on his experience, he never said they are laws and is what is obtainable in Germany, as readers, we can question him to clarify any grey area, instead of coming here spewing rebuttals that are open-ended.

@Justwise please don't hide my comment, I just want to pass this across.

heisenberg33:


You are correct, I agree with you. I used my posts as a teaching moment for the OP. I addressed most of his unfounded misconceptions. I wish they were left at least so the OP and others who think like him will learn. Unfortunately, he will not have the opportunity to learn now. If you do not want to derail your thread, post only what you know and stick to your own topic. No blanket statements. Otherwise, expect rebuttals.

Coming from someone who also made blanket statements. SMH.

It is funny, how german threads are always going south, there is more to this than just nairaland.

@Gerrard59 learn how to quote correctly not everyone uses a PC to surf this site.

LordAdam16:


The thread is about his experience in Berlin/Germany. His opinion on racism in the US isn't.

Granted, it's his right to have a sh*t opinion on racism in the US. However, it's also someone else's right to say his opinion is a "misconception."

Especially, when that rebuttal is based on experience living in the US. Now, starting out his response by calling the person a "joke" and concluding by insinuating he is an "ignorant African" is unbecoming.

I did not even focus on that. Only implored him to give it a rest as there'd literally be no end to it if they continue and that his arguments are by no means airtight. For my troubles, he said I was sounding like a "racist white man."

If this degenerated into a shouting match, it'd be because he wasn't fond of someone else living in the US calling his opinion about racism in the US a misconception.

@heisenberg33, let it go. You've made your point. It's on the record. And quite a number of people agree with you.

-Lord

I was waiting for this. Hope you know you are trolling. @justwise please come and clean up.

LordAdam16:


I don't know... Because that's journalism. It's scary that we have an entire generation of individuals who think click-bait sensationalism is acceptable.
Worse is using this same sensationalism to cast a blanket on an entire nation of 360 million people (yet we complain when it's done to Nigerians). Then discount the experiences of individuals who've lived there because it doesn't fit the narrative of the Twitter thread you read. It's not proper.
And it'd be a shame if that's what this thread becomes.

Look at you, to assert conspiracy is to believe what you want when you are missing data to fully support what you want to believe. So it's now you are "woke" or "forming woke" .
It is all over your post, the kind of person you are. This thread is about someone's experience in Berlin/Germany if you don't like how he passes his opinion across, you can as well exit the thread. Thie thread will not degenerate to what you want, because this will be my last reply to you.

LordAdam16:
@heisenberg33, I agree with much of what you said. But you did not have to re-ignite this hot-button topic. Everyone's reality is different.

@danielhouston and co; Trust me, there's a firm rebuttal for every point you made. But let it rest.

You cannot live in a country where hiring norms follow the set hierarchy of Germans, EU citizens, Rest of the West, Rest of the World and claim the US where that'd make a lot of attorneys obscenely rich is more racist. You've talked about German towns and places that you wouldn't live in due to curious disappearances or in-your-face racism that don't get investigated. Yet call the US more racist when more blacks live in the so-called dreaded Southern US than the so-called progressive North.

If you want to talk about violence on blacks, you'd have to go through a wide berth of issues before you land on racism. The combined landmass of Texas and Alaska is larger than all of continental Europe. The US has a drug violence problem. They have a diversity problem. They have a gun problem. They have a gang violence problem. Of course, with these realities, it's unsurprising they have a police brutality complication

In 2016, snipers took out 5 cops of 12 shot. During this same BLM protests, at least a dozen law enforcement officers have been shot, some fatally. But you're only going to talk about the protesters blocking a road who were rammed into when exactly the same happened to officers during this protest and not a peep about it.

Cities are defunding police departments and crime is skyrocketing to historical levels. That's not racism.

In July, several kids were shot dead in one weekend including an 8-year old near a BLM protest site. That's not racism.

More blacks have died directly or indirectly due to the BLM protest than from police brutality in the last 3 years. That's not racism.

There are more than 800,000 police officers in the US run by their respective cities having hundreds of millions of encounters every year. Yet the media will shine the spotlight on the handful of unfortunate incidents. Why? Because that's how they make money. Because that's how one side of the political divide energizes their base. That's @heisenberg33 point.

A German police officer in Berlin will not see as much action in a decade as an NYPD or Chicago PD officer in one month.

Racism is racism. There's no point ranking it. It's different everywhere. In Japan, it's from natives acting like you don't exist which some say is worse than being targeted with a slur. You can talk about German racism and highlight how it differs with rest of the industrialized world without making it seem like one is inherently worse.

And if one Nigerian immigrant in the US says it's exaggerated due to about a decade of experience, you don't have the standing to call him a joke because you're glued to CNN and Reddit. There are 360 million people in the US. He did not say racism doesn't exist in the US. He said it's blown out of proportion by interests who have a ton to gain from doing so. IMHO, he is correct.

So again I implore you to give it a rest.

-Lord

You should have given it a rest without trying to buttress the points from @heisenberg33. That the Op said racism is rife in the US as in Germany is his opinion based on what he chose to believe, you and I have no right to say he is wrong or say it is false, without providing empirical studies to back our claim.

@Bolded is no longer true, Germans lay more emphasis on the language, and I as a person see nothing wrong with that. You don't expect a firm to employ someone who has little or no knowledge of the language, and then interact with the locals, how is that possible. Or you think someone who has no English language skills would and should get a job first in the US before an American.

We all know bad news sells, so why do you expect a news outlet who are out to make money, to tone down on bad news and lay more emphasis on the good happenings around.

Your rebuttals are weak, that the US has its problem, so also does Germany, there is no paradise on earth. So please spare me the sermon on gun violence.

The joke is already on @heisenberg33 he just doesn't know it. You do not make blanket statements in certain areas.

I don't want to derail this thread, but I couldn't help it.

heisenberg33:


"Germany is no where near the USA when it comes to racism" This is a misconception and you are completely wrong. Europe (I have visited a few times) is way more racist than America and you even alluded to it in your post through several statements such as: being called the N-word, not having enough blacks in professional positions. .

If racism is rife in Europe than America, how many people have been killed in Europe for being black, or according to your logic, is the news media in Europe hiding the truth?

I have been living in America for nearly a decade now and have never experienced any iota of racism, not to talk of being called the N-word like you have been called in Europe. Mind you, I have lived in small towns in the Midwest and south: Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas ,places people erroneously assume racists live. Also, I have always had professional jobs and still have never experienced any iota of racism in the corporate sector. Nobody i know who is black (and I know a lot) has suffered any kind of racism.

Because you haven't experienced racism doesn't mean it is nonexistent. How many blacks have you met before coming to such a conclusion? Stop it!

The misconception that America is irredeemably racist stems from the biased American media whose main goal is to paint America in the most negative light possible both locally and internationally. Do not trust media outlets like CNN, NYT, WAPO, and infact most American media outlet. They have an incentive to report only negative things because negative news bring more ratings and they make money like that. Nigerians watch CNN a lot. I wish they knew that CNN is one of the most biased media outlets in the USA. That is why their ratings is so low here. Most people dont watch them here. But outside the USA everyone thinks they are an example of media excellence. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, if CNN is biased, what will you call FOX news ?

America is truly the land of the free. A place where everyone including blacks and even a Nigerian immigrant like me have rights, unlike what is obtainable in Europe. In America, you can literally achieve anything you want if you are willing to work for it. In America, you can be rich and not be taxed to death like in Europe. Regarding professional jobs in America, you are judged by what you know and not by the color of your skin. You will rise fast in the corporate ladder if you are smart and no one cares about the color of your skin. There are a lot of blacks in high end professional jobs. Heck, we even had a black president, which is the highest job in the land. Wake me up when a country in Europe has one. Is there a perfect country? No. America is not perfect, but neither is any country in Europe. But in my opinion, America is the best country in the world to be if you have the drive and tenacity required to succeed. The issue of racism you hear is exaggerated by the media because that is what they do. Ofcourse this does not mean that there are no racists, but that racism is so insignificant that you will not even see it except you are the kind who looks for racism in everything. Many minorities prefer to focus on finding racism in everything, instead of taking advantage of the opportunities this country offers like no other. If America was as racist as you and many people say, I would not be where I am professionally and neither would many people I know. Also, having lived here close to a decade, it will be hard to miss the realities of racism if they were as egregious as you claim it is.

America is indeed the land of the free, where a black man is more likely to be killed by a police officer and the officer gets an administrative leave. (shitty Police officers).
America is indeed the land of the free, where you can be wealthy today and tomorrow lose it all because you became sick ( shitty health care system).
America is indeed the land of the free, where a black man is assumed dangerous until proven otherwise.

And ohh lest I forget, the BlackLivesMatter is a movement from Europe, because Europeans are racist scums.
