I read abit about this[b] Foreign Legion[/b] thing and watched some clips about it, its true but tough.

The training is not for any weak mind, if u can't learn French language quick then don't bother as all the commands and instructions are in French.

claremont:

God bless you for confirming the validity of this option. Tigerpaws has been calling me a Scammer on another thread just because I suggested this option to a guy stranded in the EU, rather than pursue the asylum option. That been said, their website clearly states that they will teach a volunteer the French language during training, albeit "knocking" it into your head using all means necessary. Anybody wey join dem go learn French by force within a month, they will "grind" it into you

God help you if Tigerpaws is on your case , u need to see shriek .

Seriously, there must be a reason (s) why some Nigerians have't taken that route, learning French in a month is not 'beans'  i did not see many Africans enrolling into the program, there are alot of Germans, British, Eastern Europeans and Latin Americans. I don't think that the selection progress is as easy as stated on their website.

tigerpaws:

I think I should visit the romance section often    since it's [b][size=16pt]assumed[/size] [/b]I only comment on scam-related threads   

claremont:

I agree the selection is not easy, especially during this time of economic recession which has led to them having large numbers of volunteers who want to join. The selection process involves an IQ test, a medical test (including HIV testing), and a physical fitness test. I think it is the physical fitness test that most Nigerians would find difficult, all man dey huzzle for pepper and no body wan go gym for exercise  . That aside, the fact remains that it is a legitimate option for an illegal immigrant to get the French passport after 5 years of service. No harm in going to try it out for Nigerians living illegally, after all they provide feeding and accommodation throughout the process of selection, FREE FOOD

justwise:

You really think that many Nigerians are not aware of this route? I mean. . .this program has being going on for years!!.

claremont:

I know of an Indian guy who paid 10,000 Euros to a German university for a MSc programme. As soon as he secured the Student visa from India, he used it to go straight to France to join the FFL, and luckily he was taken. He abandoned his 10,000 euros with the German university, and is today serving in the FFL at the end of which he will be getting the French passport. If Indians and Chinese can travel all the way from their respective countries to join, then why not Nigerians living illegally in the EU?! Nigerians too fear for their life jare

claremont:

So the question is what has an illegal living in a shengen country got to loose by going to try it out?! The answer may well be that most Nigerians when pushed to the wall will prefer to burrow into the wall and remain there in their comfort zone rather than taking risks.

justwise:

Well. . . he will get his 10,000 euros in a yr IF selected cos they are paid about 1,000 euros monthly with accommodation, food. .etc. The draw back is to be able to understand and speak French in a month then the intense training.

justwise:

Some Nigerians prefer 'short cut' to certain things in life, you also have to remember that FFL don't take pple with criminal records, some Nigerians living illegally in Europe are involved in all sorts of crimes, some have destroyed any legitimate ID that could be used to identify them hence ruling out any chance of joining FFL

claremont:

Any Nigerian living illegally in the EU who is determined and knows his legitimacy in Europe depends on getting the French passport go learn French within a month by force. In fact, an illegal Nigerian who gets this opportunity, after a month go even speak French pass the average French man sef . Whether he will survive the harsh training is another matter entirely

@ Claremont, God bless you. We should not only criticise but also bring out benefiting information on this platform. That's how life should be. This information would definitely go a long way in turning the furtune of some people around for better. Some people knew this link existed but would never let it out because of their selfishness.

shawonlese:

Claremont, thanks for the awareness. I never knew this existed.

claremont:

Na God get power ma guy. They have been existing for over 150 years, and have been employing foreigners and still do to date.

justwise:

That link will be up for sale pretty soon, you will see some Nigerians selling it as an e-book on how to get EU resident permit. Just watch out. They will abuse the system and ruin it for legitimate Nigerians or other Africans.

hey guys thanks for your post.

what you have not addressed is whether your expiring/expired visas will be extended during the FFL program.
will they really allow somebody living without any status to be in the training prigram?
i have checked the website thorougly and cant see anywhere where it is hinted that illegals would be accepted,so am really cautious about it.
can you throw more light on this please.
cheers

@juzme

exactly what i was thinking,
[b]it may not be ideal for an "illegal" to join because if unsucessful,i dont see the french authorities allowing you to live just like that[/b],DEPORTATION could be the next bet, kai

This option get chuku chuku o

claremont:

First of all, someone who is illegal in the EU has nothing to loose by going to try. Secondly, the Shengen region operates a visa-less zone, as long as someone is within Shengen, no immigration bothers to ask anyone for visas.
Those persons who are unsuccessful after selection are given their passports and 20 euro/day they have spent in selection, and they are told to leave. Whether they choose to remain in France or leave to another Shengen country is not the business of the FFL, it is the business of the persons concerned themselves. Anyone who prefers to remain illegal in the EU, rather than try this option is on his own. My own na to show una the path, whether una waka the path or not no concern me
