Guy am moving soon oh...Tryna settle a few things.. Make u sort issues with ur LI sharpaly na...Biko do the needful ASAP...
As for the Migrants, I'd just keep my opinions to myself and hope the Germans do things that won't cause us or them harm in future.
You know how much aboki de sell euro now? Me wan reach Fidelity for PTA enquiries tomorrow too oh...But I already have a feeling that it might not turn out well

I also hope dey don't... Will be sorted out by next week..
As at today It's #250 to 1euro...Bro aboki no dey smile o

Williamso:

I've been on this matter for almost two weeks. My money is already in limbo. I'm seeing the end of the tunnel but the bulb is blown, abi na NEPA take light. I don tire I swear...

I understand the feeling... There's serious FX scarcity... Spoke with my account officer today self and he said Gtbank has suspended BTA... Planning to findout from fidelity 2moro

Good evening house and my fellow 3rd of August account openers. Just spoke with my contact in Germany. He said he went to the bank to find out what the problem is and they took my name to check if there is any record and they found none. They suggested that the embassy have not sent the docs and advised i should go to the lagos embassy to find out why the applications and docs have not been sent. That as far as they are concerned, there is no record of my name in their end. Which way forward abeg? our elders in the house @eke and all. Thanks

My advice for u is to hit the embassy ASAP... Forget about the first one... If d first one lata got there theyll simply ignore ur 2nd application...I had a similar issue... I was at d embassy same day with obiwann but never got any details for more dan 3 weeks... I got back to d embassy with anoda sets of documents , paid anoda 4.5k nd a week lata I got their mail dat the first sets of application form were outdated dat I should send just d form by courier dat no authentication needed... I just ignored since I already posted anoda set and in anoda 2 weeks I got my account details...Note dat was in may, we're in September so I bet Uve limited time...

Williamso:
Good evening people. Please who has completed a form A transaction recently? Like this month? I heard there's an even newer CBN policy where banks bidding for ForEx must transfer the naira equivalent a minimum of 48hrs before the actual bid can be made. Heard it's a very recent policy (last week). Transferring this money is getting more cumbersome than raising it

Eventhough my transaction was successful last week but i can tell u dat Form A matter is really getting serious... My account was debited two weeks b4 dey could perform the transactions... My student accommodatn was almost canceled but for d course director who contacted d student union on my behalf,my deadline was extended thrice... In all it took four weeks at Gtbank headquarters... NOTE all documents complete...

Obiwannn:
There are two sides of every coin.

I totally agree with U but don't u think they've weighed their options before deciding to throw their doors open... For them dey believe the advantages outweighs the risks attached... Just as the USA didn't ban visas for those coming from the middle east and Asia after Sept 11...
Ow ur package na... wen re u moving.... Me still trying to round off my NYSC mata o...

[Why Germany needs migrants more than UK]

[Migrant crisis: Germany 'can take 500,000 asylum seekers a year']
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34185353

They know what they're doing, seems very happy receiving dem...I think in a way they believe dey need dis asylum seekers ... I read wen the vice to Merkel said they hav a very vibrant economy nd can take 500k of asylum seekers every year for several years to come... UK, France and others can try dat because dey re trying to even pursue those dat re in d country legally by tightening their stay requirements...Note dat alot of dis asylum seekers are not miscreants and are skilled workers and alot of training centers are being opened to train dem in order to put dem into d workforce quickly... Read dis and U'll understand

Please lets end this debate here as its heading another direction.

Thank you.

Thanks boss

When I dropped some lines last week, regarding Arabs and security, someone here quickly called me names. I'll continue to say that Arabs are highly dangerous! And this is in no way about religion but about the Arabs! Yeah, I was born a Muslim (now a Christian) and my dad till this day, remains an Islamic scholar. I see some people are already taking swipes at others for sharing their opinions and fears, to you lot I say - Nobody holy pass!

Just this week alone, there's been reports of Syrian refugees rioting in a German city, injuring scores of policemen and civilians (Germans & Foreigners). The said Syrian refugees also destroyed properties ranging from: Cars, Houses and what not; during the riot.

In another report this week, a group of Arab refugees now living legally in Germany, have started posting pro-terror pictures on facebook with a view of raising awareness of a terror group's presence in Germany, in order to unite old members and as well recruit new members.

Arab refugees are also in the news this week for posting several extremist comments on social media platforms about how they are already taking over Europe, and directing racists comments to the same Europeans who have welcomed them to their abode. There's also a report about the apprehension of a terrorist recruiter who tried to gain entry into Germany under the guise of being a refugee. One simply can't overlook the thought of many of his kind, slipping through, unnoticed.

This is only early days and some totally extreme events already unfolded, and realistically so, more will follow! And to those saying we're all the same; whether student or asylum seeker - Please, I'm sure we all know that student and refugee are two very different categories. Free tuition doesn't translate to asylum seeker, please! And in fact, some of us are paying heavily, I mean HEAVY tuition fees for our studies in Germany. Moreover, I believe many are only worried because the asylum seekers are Arabs, and their record speaks for itself!

Personally, I was attracted to Germany for its numerous job opportunities after my MBA, security and high standard of living. Now, a number of uncertainties becloud my German dream but I find solace in the popular saying "Que Sera Sera", and I hope those reading this, who like me also have their fears/concerns, do too.

bros... that is complete falsehood... Check ur own news again, maybe u read it only God knows where. Those rioting were German extremists like some of our....
In case u read yours inside which newspaper... this is my own source
news.yahoo.com/merkels-deputy-visit-refugee-home-attacked-neo-nazis-080256337.html

AND I TAKE EXCEPTIONS TO SOME OF UR STRONG WORDS "ARABS" but ppl like u run to dubai, same arabs owns man city nd etisalat just to mention a few...Do to ppl wat u want others to do to u...Ure not better dan those skin-heads dat thinks or beliv all Nigerians are fraudulent... wake up bro...dats racism at It's peak... I don't even bliv some ppl still have dis mentality self dat some group of ppl or ppl from one part of the world are bad in dis 21st century... smh...that's terrible...

Cindino20:


God bless you too for havin an open heart and seeing the sufferings of the migrants.


Bros thats the plain truth...public opinion polls shows that majority of germans re in support although they ve security concern.

I tell you if you re migrating to a country do yourself study the core values of the state you intend to reside....Germany is a liberal state with a friendly immigration policy...if you dont like it..Go to the Uk or Australia ( Australia even pay smugglers to return boats( and the uk can deport anything deportable.

But if you decide to come to Germany ...keep your anti immigrant sentiment to yourself

We done here.

Always on point
Even cameron said UK will accept about 25 thousands this year and just today the EU chief said about 160 thousands migrants would be shared by all the 28 EU countries... So just get use to it because dis guys (migrants will be around for a lil while )

Cindino20:
Enough talk abt refugees ...enough talk abt if it ss right or wrong..decision has been made....800,000 applications will be recieved this year whwther you like it or not...if you wanna debate abr such topic create a thread for that I will be more than glad to share my views but for now lets stay on topic

The german state is built on values and to the govt these values must be upheld at all time...

I feel ashamed when I hear migrants cryin more than Germans .So I m gonna put it blunt just the way I see it..

If you dont like it and you re in Germany...take the next flight and go home...

If you re in Nigeria and you dont like the fact that Germans re accepting refugees...stay back in Nigeria ..if your visa has been issued call the consulate to revoke or cancel the visa.

Simple.


They ve done it before after WW II accepting migrant workers to help build the country....the number of turks in this country is abt 5million....yet somehow everyone gets along.

GOD BLESS YOU

Williamso:

They were chanting Germany because Germany has more humanitarian services to render them. Besides being the strongest economy in Europe and offering faster integration. Will I say you have ulterior motives for wanting to school in Germany

Thanks for doing justice to d matter...Its selfishness to start feeling dat way..U needed to see how a mother and two children, 3yrs old kid and 5yrs drowned in Turkey and washed to d beach dis week trying to reach Germany ...I couldn't hold back tears and I just felt for wat their countries are going thru...Wat was happening in dis countries isn't dis ppls fault, just unlucky to find themselves between two superpowers (America and Russia ) trying to prove a point to eachoda by destabilizing anoda country. In fact, I'm already planning to volunteer as soon as I land in Germany to help out in my own way...For the record, I don't care about their religion or orientation, my own Bible taught me love dat anyone in need, I should help in my own way...I'm not unawares about the economic implications and competition for jobs and social amenities, this has been the concerns of alot of our 9ja ppl and even some German extremists protesting every week and I hope none of our 9ja brodas would join dem in protesting wen u get there ...Understand dat U going to germany is also a privilege, so treat others the way U'll like to be treated... I REST MY CASE

Hello my e-family

My flight is scheduled for 6:30 am and I am supposed 2 be @ the airport 3 hrs b4 departure time. I don confuse as per how 2 pass the night. I intend getting 2 lagos a day to. But do not know if I will be allowed 2 crash @ the airport or any cheap option for the night.

Please your advice will be appreciated

It's even very risky going to lagos airport @ dat time of d day...Just safe urself of any PITY STORY by passing d nite @d airport...

Williamso:

Not necessarily a mistake made. But if I were in your shoes;
I would request for a refund from the language school (if it's possible), register at Goethe, and fire as many applications as possible for English programs. The time spent at Goethe can also be used to source for funds that my 500k can augment to a large extent (that's more than 25% of the blocked fund ). And when I get admission to an English program, the German learnt will be for everyday communication, not for lectures (trust me, there is a difference). And since the admission admission at hand won't kick in till next year, I'm more or less "safe".................................

But that's just my opinion.

I completely agree with U...

It was when I was trying to explain to her that I had service in between 2010 and 2012 and I graduated in 2010 and when I started working
She got upset and asked me to go home..

Hello all ,
I booked a one way ticket with wakanow.com and they called 2 ask the visa i was travelling with. I told them student visa . They asked how long was written on it i said 90 days to be converted to 2 yrs or so when i get there. They said I must get a return ticket or i might get disturbed by immigration. PLEASE HOW THRU IS THIS ?

Simply not correct... the person dat called u isn't well informed...

XpensiveT:
I hereby annouce to my e-family that I received the most anticipated mail this morning at exactly 7:03am to come for my visa .

Really a long wait but its worth the wait... Congratulations and enjoy ur sweet victory...

You need a link to daad website? daad.de
If you have checked the daad site and don't see what you're looking for, could it be that it doesn't exist? (as far as daad is concerned)?
If daad fails you, use Google, if Google fails you, check schools' website one-by-one. If that fails you, accept your fate.

Lol...just passing by

Thanks justwise for restoring decorum...

I've been following the last three pages quietly and enjoying all the knowledge shared but I've not contributed because I've notin to say...
We've come a long way on dis thread and it'll be a grave mistake to be creating enmity here...
1. If U ask a question on here,if som1 is magnanimous enough to answer Ur questions and make a little joke out of it, I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD GET U ANGRY..in fact u should be grateful because the thread has helped alot of ppl...If u bliv d page hasn't done anytin for u den stay off d page instead of distracting us.
2. I'm always surprised wen ppl come on here, ask questions and den get offended wen som1 make a lil fun out of their case. THIS IS A PLACE OF PUBLIC OPINION AND IF U CAN'T ACCEPT THOSE LITTLE TANTRUMS DEN STAY OFF THE PAGE AND SINCE URE VERY WISE THEN SORT IT OUT URSELF...
I think It's unfair wen Ure insulting same ppl dat share their experience just to let others learn... Because of ppl like u, dis page have lost som RESOURCEFUL PPL dat would rather stay off dis page instead of getting insults /slighted for trying to help...more annoying wen u start getting personal with ur insults and abusing ppls private life(husband, wife, children etc)...Dats really gone too far...
I've read dis thread from part 1 and ppl do disagree but IT'S REALLY ANNOYING WEN SOM1 START USING VOGUE/FOWL WORDS ON PPL or abusing their family and privacy... U might even not need d help of dose here again because u already stamped Ur visa but remember alot of ppl are still coming behind (in a few weeks or months even years) dat would be denied dat same opportunities/advice/help u once had... So please let's all hang our swords...
U may choose to abuse/insult me or let it slide and keep the discussions going and alive Or create anoda thread where u can be d Almighty boss...
