Has any1 ever submitted a secondary school transcript during application process before or are they talking about my waec/neco. Pls help.


Are you still processing Uni-bambergs' admission ? I thought you already applied.
Let me help you out, so you don't waste your time and money, if you don't have up 117 ECTS in Computer science Modules don't apply, you need IELTS or TOEFL, so forget English was my medium of instruction bla bla bla.
A friend of mine was rejected, because of this, although he studied software engineering. He had insufficient computer science ECTS.
Admission is becoming competitive, your bachelor degree has to be related to the master degree you are applying for.

And you don't need a secondary school transcript if you are applying for a master degree.

I still don't see any difference BTW d wiki reference which is a summary of d section and d full one u quoted. The argument is not if d president approves it or not, d argument is if its possible to even try it in d ist place and from d constitution u and I citied, it is possible to try it. D President approving it or not is if u are seen as person of value or if d country is at war. And I av seen someone who tried it and it was approved and he did not even need to go to Nigeria to get it done

This can only be done in Nigeria, that is the information from Nigerian Embassy in Berlin. If it is contested in the court of law, what that person did is fraudulent.

One of the main reason Germans allow Nigerians the privileged is because of the technicality involve. Did you read the other part where it was written, that a citizen of Nigeria by birth may not renounce his Nigerian citizenship, being that he is allowed, under Nigerian Law, to acquire the citizenship or nationality of a second country, without the necessity to renounce the citizenship of the country of his/her birth (Nigeria).

Take note of MAY NOT, renouncing is not as easy as you may see it. you don't just fill a form and swear an affidavit that you are no longer Nigerian and then it get simply approved. Germans are aware of this, that is why Nigeria is included in the list of dual citizenship.

I dont know d law u are quoting or incidence u are mentioning but wat I just know is that I know a Nigerian here married to a German who renounced is Nigerian citizenship. He has being here even before I was born and had both Nigerian and German passport but according to him, he does not see the benefit of having the Nigerian passport cus wen he travelled sumwia and had issues, it was d German embassy there that stood up for him and d German passport gives him more travel freedom and protection. So the man went to Berlin and renounced.even when he goes to Nigeria, he travels as a German with his German pass and prefers to apply for a Nigerian visa wen going home.

Now to the law you are referring to, I will attach infos from various Nigerian embassies

Nigeria Edit
The right to renounce Nigerian citizenship is established in § 29 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, which states that "any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his/her Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation", which the government is obliged to register except when Nigeria is physically involved in a war or when the President of Nigeria is of the opinion that the renunciation is contrary to public policy. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renunciation_of_citizenship


From all the fore going sir eke, I put it to u that u are wrong on ur conclusion and I can renounce my Nigerian citizenship if I want to. Though I love my green pali sha

please remove the wiki reference, it is not a reliable source. Here is the constitution in respect to renouncing your citizenship

29. (1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a
declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.
(2) The President shall cause the declaration made under subsection (1) of this
section to be registered and upon such registration, the person who made the
declaration shall cease to be a citizen of Nigeria.
(3) The President may withhold the registration of any declaration made under
subsection (1) of this section if-
(a) the declaration is made during any war in
which Nigeria is physically involved; or
(b) in his opinion, it is otherwise contrary to
public policy.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.
(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years
and above;
(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed
to be of full age.


So technically if you renounce your citizenship and it was not approved by the president, it is null and void

Wrong! you CAN'T renounce your citizenship as a BORN Nigerian. Before the laws of citizenship was reviewed in Germany, some years ago, there was a controversy that rocked the Nigerian embassy here in Germany.
Nigerians that sought to take up the German citizenship were asked to get evidence that they have renounced their current nationality. So, acting illegally and with greased hands, the Nigerian embassy issued applicants 'fake' documents which was void according to the laws of Nigeria and charged applicants exorbitant, albeit, illegal fees for it until enlightened nationals raised alarm, however, before this happened, the embassy have used that medium to make a lot of money. It became a very profitable means of extortion, leaving many victims in its wake.
You can ask an immigration lawyer who is vast in the matters of Nigerian citizenship to brief you better.
Your efforts to renounce your citizenship as a BORN Nigeria is just null, void and unconstitutional.

Spot on!

All the comments against Schwartz all got my ribs cracking. She should tell us what city she is. We may then pardon her.
Yes we have....

But on a serious note, I would want us to revive the other thread on life as a student in Germany. Let everyone come in there once a while and drop one or two tips on survival, study and how they relax in Germany.

I only came back here when things became too monotonous, read---eat--- sleep---work---read---eat--sleep---work. even the party that most guys and girls are so crazy about are always soooo boring. No wonder the depression rate here is so high.
Schooling here is fun oh, but deep down no place like naija ohh. I miss those crazy roommates and flatmates that make you switch off and reboot.
If you are an introvert, hmm better learn how to talk and mingle before coming here, Your language skill will also be a barrier, so better learn some German

The truth is that, a laptop is more expensive in Germany because the cost of marketing and sales is more and wages ar higher. If you display a ware n Germany, the seller will collect nothing less than 8.50 and hour while in Nigeria, that 8.50 will last for an entire day.

Note that this question is coming from someone with only the naira and have not made a dime from Germany. A laptop for 300 euros will certainly be a normal laptop of with basic features or I even bet it might be a secondhand laptop. If you convert that amount in naira, 300*370, you know the kind laptop wey you go use am buy.
@Ohaskid, buy your laptops and phones from Nigeria. A Samsung in Nigeria is the same Samsung anywhere in the world.

Ist of all, you really made me laff with this your comment. I laffed so hard I didn't even know how to reply you. You are converting 8€ paracetamol and comparing it to Nigerian emzor and saying 350€ laptop is a China laptop. Baby girl plz go broaden your horizon and stop mingling with those who keep giving you negative stories abt Germany. It won't help you going forward. I'm a damn realist and anyone who knows me here know I say it the way it is. And mind you I don't shop on eBay neither do I pratonize Primark or flohmarkt. When you are in Germany think like a German and stop making euro to naira conversion before you buy things, it won't help u.

You keep talking abt people not getting jobs or intern slot while I keep seeing Nigerians who have gotten jobs here. Them no get two heads, think positive. #enuf said, enjoy ur summer

dude pipe down, now you are contradicting yourself. your said 300 was a lot of money now you are talking about apple product.
which one make we follow........
The reason why i said you need that prayer is, you can't be working here in Germany even if you earn less than 8.50 and still convert to naira when buying things. Besides your paracetamol analogy gave you away.

If you did convert it to naira and the quality of that product is higher in naira then it is expensive. To get the actual price of a product you must convert it in exchange rate to get the true value. I have bought 4 tablets of Paracetamol for 8€ at the pharmacy. On conversion I discovered that its way more expensive. If it was in Nigeria a full card of about 20 tablets of emzor won't cost more than 50naira. The most annoying thing is that the effectiveness to cure my headache was just the same as the Paracetamol in Naija.
Stop countering my comments. You are not wiser than me. And what kind of cheap laptop are getting for 300€? Was it second hand from eBay or imported from China? And yes 300€ is a lot of money to a German because by the time you work back breaking jobs just to get 8.50€ per hour then you will know that it is a lot of money and you will be wise to spend it.
Btw I just got a gist this morning that a certain Yoruba guy who got an IT placement in Frankfurt in DB bahn had applied severally to many places with rejections for a long time and was about to end his program and even give up before he got this one placement in DB but you came here saying it as if he got it at a click of a bottom. Tell the story the way it is and stop painting it as if everything thing happens at the click of a button. A qualified electrical engineering is washing dishes after studying in this same Germany because he has applied and applied continuously for over a year after school and yet nothing. His visa time is running out and he has no option than to apply for another masters and programme. And that is the story of many people here. That I am sure. It is indeed a challenge here but yes some may get it but its not so easy. That is why I always say to people not to leave their jobs to come here because you never know.


Bro if €300 laptop is expensive...... hmmm just pray that baba God should pick your call..... Abi no be this same germo student dey buy motor ship go naija.
Bro dream big and work towards it ohh. I can still remember, my first laptop was within that price and that was in 2014 my current one... i no go talk how much i buy.......

A typical working day as Student in Germany

I just want to share this for those curious to know how it is like to work here.

As a student you are most likely going to be at best a temporary or casual staff. You must submit your residence permit and proof that you are currently in school. Other documents depending on the company / agency are your Tax number, Police report, Insurance, social security number, Bank account details, etc.

The job I would describe here is a kitchen job. Now note that everyone does its including German students. Many will require you have the ability to speak Deutsch but if you are lucky a fewer number will allow you work with little Deutsch at A1. But don't risk it, it pays to learn and speak Deutsch. Another thing to note is that you should expect menial physical jobs that require the use of your legs, hands. Cleaning homes, hotels, ships, offices, working in kitchens, carrying load, factory jobs (tough job), Care and cleaning of pets, Picking garbage from homes, sorting out garbage (the smell embarassed) and many more under this category. I mean the type of job that you would do and get home really exhausted. If you know that you are omo mummy or an aje butter sorry o Germany is not for you LOL. For the females, its not the type of job that you will come to the office and gossip with your mates while fileing your manicured nails and rubbing pancake. And for the males it is not the kind of jobs that you will wear your chinos trousers, tuck in your nice well starched shirts with you nice wristwatch while playing games with your Ipad tongue

Kitchen job in Nigeria
The pay for this job in Nigeria is was what it is, pocket money far less than minimum wage. A boss expects you to be there early to help in preparing the ingredients, to cook, to clean, to serve, to receive payments and ofcourse to run to the market whenever anything finished. A typical Naija Madam would not allow you to serve yourself to eat. You can be served with only a piece of meat. Your salary may not come on time and your job is not filed in the government records. While working one could be yelled at, called f*oolish(or other names), ears drawn or even slapped if one falls beyond expectation. Customers can look down on one as a 'mere' restaurant worker. They can makes snide remarks like Madam this your girl is getting fat on your food o shocked or they can send you to buy recharge card etc. This is just a typical scenerio that plays out while doing a menial job in Nigeria.
Now in Germany this is how a kitchen job looks like
I work on shifts. I could be asked to resume work as early as 4am on a morning shift. I could also be put on a shift that closes by 2am midnight. The working hours in this country in any sector can be really c*razy. Its not funny when its winter and you must get your lazy behind to meet up the train to take you to work. Some jobs can be far and the weather can be really unfriendly. You cannot call your boss to say its too cold i cant make it to work shocked I am talking about from 6 degree to -18 degree freeezing cold. I heard it could get colder. Thats how the job timing is for most of us here, for different kind of jobs.
Now at work, your colleagues from different countries mostly speak Deutsch and struggle to speak English (most times). You would be lucky to get a supervisor who can pass instructions in English. Now work time in Germany is WORK TIME!! The number of hours that you are supposed to be at work, you are expected to work really hard, fast, no picking calls, no loitering etc. It is not the typical naija job work environment. You are supposed to be at your duty post throughout doing nothing but getting down to work. There is no male or female job. What a man can do, a woman can do it here, physical, manual labour too. You could be yelled at and they don't joke with speed and time. But no one will slap you, or any physical assault. You would be paid on time and the agreed rate. When its lunch you are allowed to eat anything and everything on the menu as was served to customers- i mean anything and any quantity you can eat. Your boss does not expect to be called a special name like Sir, or Oga their name is fine. If his name is James call him James and he is very okay with it. Sitting on the same table to eat with your boss is nothing. And your not expected to clear his plates too smiley All jobs are filled to government records. If you are falling below expectations they would not bat an eyelid to fire you.
Tired of typing. Let me correct an impression, generally in Germany one is expected to be paid minimum wage of 8.50 euros or higher. However under the table jobs that pay by hand mostly pay less than minimum wage and also those in some very dry towns eg in some dry towns in east germany were even menial jobs cannot be found do pay less. I know someone getting 3.50 per hour unfortunately



Hehehe you just gave an apt description of kitchen hustle.... on Point!

Let me write mine too. But I'm not a fan of writing long essays. Anyway here is my story so far.
I came to Germany as everyone else and decided to learn the language first, during this period the kind of jobs i did were just the normal "Umzugshilfe" which literally is relocation assistance kind of work. I did this job because I was paid in cash, no giving of bank details and no tax whatsoever. Take note, if you are not strong enough, don't try this job. The last job i did nearly broke my spine after moving household stuffs from a second floor apartment to a third floor apartment without lifts and with a narrow stairs, that was what broke the last straw in me.
Meanwhile, I was earning 100€ monthly, if you ask me from where, i can't write that here. But it was legal and had all my records on it. So, the other job was just a side job which wasn't regular but I earned at least 50€ per day and the most i have earned was 100€ for 3hrs, thar was from the last job.

After my language exams my studies began, I was able to express my self to most of my profs in German and they were amazed as to how fluent i was in the language within a short period of time. This created an opportunity for me and I got a HIWI contract, my duty was translating a part of the University's' site to English. This was a turning point in my life. I worked directly from home at my convenience which gave me flexibility. Although it is always good working from home, but you need a high level of discipline if you want to achieve maximum work time. This job gave me the opportunity to play around TYPO3 and now i am good working with it. It is already on my CV..lol.

Before my contract expired, I got another offer to work in another Faculty as a computer technician and text corrector. my job details was simple, format bible text in office or latex and ensure all PC and projectors are working efficiently. I had to put the job on hold till August, this has been my work experience so far.
Meanwhile, I have also worked in a logistic factory for two weeks, earned some hard cash but the pain afterwards is a story for another day. I have not worked in the kitchen despite reading lots of adverts, most of my German friends work in a bar or club or restaurant. So its no big deal working in the Gastronomiebranche.

If only I knew my certificate would be ready by April. But with Nigeria and the State University system, who knows? It's not like you can schedule your life around them. What do you know about the school, and the town?

I only know about my faculty which happen to be nice in regards to prof student ratio. You are able to schedule personal coaching time with your Prof. if you have problems with his/her modules. This privilege you won't find in bigger schools.

As for the town, you can google it up, I like it here, it's not so big and not so small, just perfect. I know your next question...... there are student jobs available if you have the energy to work.....Lmao, but try and learn the Language sha......my two cents.

Hi everyone. I have got admission letters from Paderborn and Bamberg for the 2016 Winter Sermester. However, Bamberg stated on the admission letter that I need to submit my certificate before the Summer of next year or my enrollment will be null and void. I only have the Statement of Result and my school's college secretary said the school is not likely going to issue the certificate anytime soon. Which leaves Paderborn. The school has made no mention of the Statement of Result not being sufficient unlike Bamberg but I do not want any suprises later. Could someone please give me their opinions?

If i may ask, which course were you offered in Bamberg? Because i also applied with a statement of result but had no clause attached to my admission letter.

Exactly how does one not show 'desperation'? I am yet to see anybody that guinuinely applies for a Visa and not do his best to get it, especially, given the hassle that comes with it.


Simple, you have to prove to the VO that you can still do great exploits here in Nigeria even if you are denied. I know you will ask me how?
I am a living testimony. grin grin grin



Apparently, the record has shown that the probability of being referred to Goethe while seeking a visa via Language school is much higher than otherwise.

Also, for someone who intends to enrol into a university after the language Kurs, he must return to Nigeria and apply for a student visa...isn't that supposed to be a turnoff?

I think the Germans deliberately made this rule to discourage language visa application.

So, why waste time, energy, and most importantly, Money?


My first trip to Germany '7weeks' was for a language course. The interview then didn't go as plan but at the end my visa was approved. The lady who interviewed me insisted I attend Goethe institüt instead of going to Germany. Well, my scheduled time to travel was August which happen to a holiday period in Geothe.

Then i applied for a study visa, which of course was still a language course, interviewed by the then dreaded old German lady, my interview was more or less like a chat because all she did was repeated all the information I handed over to her and she asked the same interview questions posted here.Mind you, my language course admission letter stated, I was going to write DSH at the end of the program, in other to write DSH you need a provincial admission letter from the Universität,
Language course route is possible, if only you are meticulous. you have to cross all Ts and dot all Is.

NB: please learn German in Nigeria to B1 level if you intend to use this path. Using zero German knowledge is a RED FLAG

I will advice u to start learning ur German in Nigeria.German embassy doesn't give visa for language purpose.i was a victim in 2014,paid almost 1000€ to Tandem koln.see as their mouth set DAT tym cos na money Dem dey 5n.
went to embassy with my letter from the school OGBENI,embassy referred me to the almighty GOETHE INSTITUT in Lagos.
dnt spend ur money to any language school,I repeat don't give them ur dime.they cnt help u get a student visa,even if embasy manage gv u visa,it only last during ur language course once ur duration finish,na so u go come bk naija come de apply for student visa.
note:language visa can never be changed to student visa.
its boldly written on ur check list.
dis advice is from experience.dnt gv them ur money,I repeat,gib ihnen dein Geld nicht.
he who has ear should hear wat the spirit tells the church
Getting a language visa is possible only if you don't show how desperate you need it.

My advice for Leprof is, learn German here in Nigeria and get an admission letter from a Uni, not language school, stating that at the end of your Language course, you will be able to write DSH, which will enable you study here in Germany.
NB: you need at least B1 level to get this kind of offer.

Tnx bro, I finished 4rm info mgt tech 4rm futo, do I stil av a chnce, 2ndly I can also learn java b4 cumn. Are u in uni bamberg?

Your situation is a very tricky one.
Did you take any course on data structure and algorithm, intro to programming, and at least some programming language courses like pascal and the likes ? Without the aforementioned courses, sorry to say, your chances are very low.
That was why i said, it is easier if you had a computer science or maths background.
Yes i am a student in Bamberg and you should learn any development language before coming, it will ease your stay here.
