Hi guys. What if my spouse does not have primary school certificate? Can she go to the embassy with only her secondary school and university certificates? |

Thanks for this beneficial info. I just applied for a family reunion visa appointment for my wife and I know it takes up to one year. If my wife gives birth to our child before the appointment, do we need to make a new visa appointment for the child? Or is it that underage children don't need a visa and can simply accompany their mother? |

Hi guys. I checked the embassy website and I don't see any available appointments for Schengen visa interview. Is there any trick to find an appointment date? Or is there a particular time of the day that I have to check in order to find? Thanks in advance |

awo666: Yes it's because of an invite. I always felt that they will be sceptical about granting the visa if one doesn't have a job to return to in Naija because they may feel that it's just a way to japa |

Hello. Is it possible for someone who is unemployed to apply for Schengen visa or visa to visit family and friends? I'm asking because there's a section where they ask people to submit letter from employer. So what would happen for someone who is unemployed? Thank you |
Religion / Joy Without Religion: How To Be Happy Without Religious Belief[atheism] by lmuhopeful: 10:54am On Aug 22, 2020 |
Hello all, I've been an atheist for over 10 years and growing up in Nigeria, I spent the early part of my atheism in a serious depression because I couldn't come out to tell anyone how I felt. As a devoted Muslim, I had to lie and pretend to everyone that I was still one, even though I had changed. I had also done an Islamic marriage at the time(I was only 19) which had to be annulled after I publicly announced my "conversion" to atheism. For a while now I've been pondering on the philosophy of happiness/peace of mind and how religion falsely claims to have monopoly over this feeling. I remember the Quran verses that talk about how the unbelievers are never at rest. But these things are false. Joy exists outside religion. In fact, this type of joy is the sweetest because it doesn't come at the expense of putting aside your rationality. As a Muslim, I couldn't understand why Allah would burn devoted Christians in hell for eternity; these people were obviously good people whose only crime was to be born into the Christian religion. How unfair. I knew that many of us justify wrong and outright evil teachings just because our religious books say so. Anyone willing to find happiness in religion has to suspend their reasoning and rationality. As an atheist now, I don't have to do that. I'm able to use my reasoning as well as empathy for my fellow man to decide what's good or bad. Few years ago, I would debate and argue with Christians and Muslims but now, I've evolved beyond that stage. Such arguments are usually pointless; neither of us are ever able to reason with the other. What often happens is that the atheist checkmates the religious person and provides contradictions in the religion and the religious person says "yeah you're right. But let me just keep believing". So I don't see a value in this. To keep the long story short, I wrote a book on the topic of happiness outside religion. It's short and direct. A mentor of mine has the following to say about the book: "It is a well written book, lucid and reflecting the authentic experience of an enterprising young Nigerian, who was brought up under the baneful influence of religion. I sincerely hope the book reaches a very wide audience, especially the Nigerian (and African) youth, who are struggling to jettison the superstitions with which they were brainwashed in their formative years. More grease to your elbow! - Gilbert Alabi Diche, FRGS." I've attached the table of content as well as the cover page of the book. If you're in Nigeria, you can get an e-book copy on Okada Books for only 1000 Naira. And if you're abroad, it can be purchased both as an ebook and paperback on Amazon. Okada Books: https://okadabooks.com/book/about/detail/36315 Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/Ayo-Deji-ebook/dp/B08G8VVGXS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Joy+without+religion&qid=1598089743&sr=8-1 Send me a message if you face any challenges with purchasing the book. Thanks

starboychan: Actually if you're given only a 1 year residence permit, then for your second year you can typically show them proof of sustenance in terms of a work contract. So if you show them you have a job that can pay you around the monthly blocked account money, you should be fine. It's not hard to find a restaurant or cleaning job that fulfills this requirement 5 Likes |

ceysaga: What you don't realize is that we all contribute in different ways. I personally work with Eke40seven and do a lot for the Nigerian students who are currently living in Munich but of course you don't know that. Yes I would like to have views on my channel but more importantly I want to help the general Nigerian population of students who want to study in Germany. My schedule doesn't allow me to drop by here often but I see that some people are already doing a good job of helping out on here. I'm creating videos as my own way of helping out. If you think I'm trying to use you guys for views or to make money then you're mistaken. Perhaps if you move to Munich, you would also benefit from the things that I and some others are doing for the Nigerian student population here. You shouldn't automatically assume that anyone who offers to help is trying to take advantage of you. Peace 14 Likes 1 Share |

Hi guys. I did my MSc at LMU Munich and am also currently doing a PhD there. I've lived in Germany for about 4 years now. I decided to contribute to the whole discussion on studying and living abroad for Nigerians alongside other topics by opening a YouTube channel. Currently I've uploaded 4 videos. 2 videos on why Germany is a good destination as well as how to apply to German universities and 2 other videos on different topics. I would appreciate if you guys checked out the channel, watched the videos and subscribed. I'd appreciate it even more if you tell me the kind of content you would like to see as a Nigerian planning on moving to Germany. I'd be glad to make content that you all find useful.

Nwaada: Bro/Sis, I beg you in the name of whatever you worship, do not take the lecturing job. On the financial side, you will never get paid enough. You will earn something that is likely 5 times less than your current salary. There are no extra perks to compensate the low salary. Your salary will sometimes be delayed. You are used to a particular lifestyle right now and all that will have to end when you take the lecturing job. On an intellectual note, you seem like a smart person considering you managed to get a first class. If you are so passionate abbout lecturing, I suggest you apply for an MSc/Phd in USA, Canada, Australia or somewhere in Europe. During your Phd you will teach undergraduate and MSc classes like I currently do. After the PhD, if you have published good work, you will be able to search for tenure-track positions at universities worldwide. Universities where you will be paid healthily. Universities where you will have access to numerous government research grants. You will recruit your own PhD students and you will mentor and lecture undergraduates and graduates alike. All these you can never do in Nigeria. At the end of it all, if you end up as a lecturer in Nigria, you will have to kiss the asses of your superiors just to get anything done, you will have no access to funding, you will likely never publish any useful research work and you won't earn enough money. Money is important. Please stay at your job and move abroad to obtain a PhD if you are so passionate about lecturing. If for any reason you lecture in Nigeria, it should be at those specialized postgraduate institutes like the AUST in Abuja or somewhere like that. Not any fucking federal university. Good luck 5 Likes |

Sexyqueen2: It's possible for us at LMU to work in oil and gas because we study the whole earth from the near-surface where oil is located up to the Earth's core(the deepest part of the Earth) and oil companies regard geophysics degrees equally. Right now I'm not decided on where to focus my career but I'll keep the oil in mind . Thanks for the suggestion |
