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

no wonder ........ i retrieve my comments. madam Schwartz feel free and remain real.............last last na man house you go kukuma end am.

Schwartz:

go back and read my past comments. i am being real. i need to correct an impression about the high expectations people generally have about being abroad. i have seen people weeping for being uninformed especially those who have lost so much just to get here. things could turn good also but the truth is that there are challenges here too. And you know it.
i dont need anyone to like my post. nobody likes the preacher who preaches hell fire every sunday. Everyone one wants to hear prosperity preaching only. when i read UK and other threads on nairaland i am impressed. people coming out to say things the way they are. i read Canada thread recently on NL and what i read shocked me.

madam Schwartz, it goes without saying that u need the prayers abeg. And forget all that ur gist of correcting impression. Na u be Angela Merkel abi? And don't even start mentioning other threads. Let's not even go there. Abi is it other threads where u used ur terrible negativity to spoil the mood of a thread where people were celebrating a female taxi driver. If u can be so negative to condemn the celebration of a noble act by ur fellow woman. Ehn, u need plenty of the prayers abeg. Becos this ur mindset go send u go gutter ni. This is not a curse o. It's a fact of life. Ur mindset determines ur life. Go ask elderly people and people who have become successes in germany. U need the prayers. Full stop.

if it is a big deal to you for a woman to drive a taxi in nigeria, in 2016 then you need to travel wide to change your mindset honestly

Hmm, I'm observing...

People of the German thread...I think we have had enough of this. All this back and forth insults will help noone not even the people participating. We are all here to learn and nobody is an island. Let's share our respective views understanding that "ona kan o woja" - a market has different entrances.God bless

You just want me to go into exchange of words with you but i wont gratify u cus i can see thru u and i think your kinda personality is obvious for all to see. Like i said, enjoy ur summer and please dont break back from your 8.5Euro per hour job oo cus if you do, u will be too stingy to afford 8 euro paracetamol to treat yourself. Bis spater

It's good to be realistic. Nonetheless, we shouldn't be too negative because we want to allay our optimistic bias.

Can you please stop being so aggressive. Nobody is quarreling with you, i don't know why you are taking things too personal. I can say it over and over again that Germany is one of the best countries. if you feel that you don't like the system you can relocate, and stop discouraging most people. If you cant be corrected then stop commenting here, i don't even know when you started existing here. You correct people and get offended when being corrected showing that you know it all.

Funny but true. @schwartz the impressions you are giving us here are boiling people heart, please don't use your situation and others own to judge the whole situations.
I knw palm-history and everyone have different fates on their palm and what matters most is to move closer and pray to God, this is the right way u should have put it.
You are a woman, we expect u to give us the good impression and courage. Take it or leave it, you have discouraged many people here. Softly softly mama

Team summer 2017, let's start gathering ourselves...

If una like talk say Germany na the new Sudan, man ain't gonna be discouraged. I get boys wey dey work for IT company after grad for Germo, I get boys wey dey wash toilet after grad. All in all, everyone star different. Diff. Strokes 4 diff folks. Uni-assist abeg answer me

NB: It's good we have these little discussions from time to time. I'm sure many folks have learnt new things today. I want to hear the good,bad & ugly but without discouraging people or attacking them.

If there's a argument between a man and woman, it's the woman that will say the last word and they can express themselves in a nasty manner at times.

That's a woman for u,so am not surprised.

Guys let's all move forward. Everybody is doing a great job by sharing experiences. May God bless our respective hustles.

D prices are outrageous only if u still do the mistake of mentally converting to naira and comparing it to how much its sold in Nigeria.

If u buy gadgets in Germany with a germanized mentality, my sister dia is nothing outrageous abt d price. You can't tell me a new laptop of 300€ is outrageous to a German or a TV of 400€ is outrageous to a German or a Samsung phone of 160€ is outrageous if u av a germanized mentality. I have bought phones and a TV here and I don't c it as outrageous bcus I stopped converting to naira 2 months after my arrival.

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.

@Schwartz

@Schwartz, I know I might have a bit harsh but pls don't take it the wrong way. So if I have sounded the wrong way in trying to kill ur negativity, coz negativity is no good for anyone. Pls don't mind the harshness. And if u don't want any of my positivity, I am sorry for trying to get it across to u the way I did. So no hard feelings pls.

House, let there be peace!

My dear pple, every Mallam with e kettle ooo. Do not follow some negative comments here. Germo non good, them beg u come here? Abeg carry ur bag go where good for u.

I won't advice anyone to come here with high expectations but trust me, Germany is one of the best place for studies. Ask pple in uk, Canada, us they don't only work to pay bills, majority also work to raise tuition. And here is a country that gives u first class education for free and u are there running ur mouth like broken tap.

Drop that mentality of currency conversion u are in euro zone not naira zone. I guess u are also scared to buy deodorant after ur currency conversion. I pity ur bf and class mates, u go don use body odor finish them.

I usually do not direct my post to people, but I think a member should be voted out. Her poorverty consciousness is above board. Imagine someone converting to buy banana? For food way u one eat? I imagine if u make ur hair or buy clothes. What a mentality!

My advice to incoming students, do not come with high expectations but trust me with ur part time job and full time holiday job, u can survive well.

Them beg u come Germany? Flight they to Nija everyday waiting u they wait for?

Go bath jor and buy some deodorants!

U carry ur family problem come they use discourage pple here. Germo good for me jor cos I only work to take care of my self and not thinking of tuition.

Go baf!
