Demmocrats: They will go for Toyota etc and leave our indigenous company like Innoson, even when millions of Nigerians are suffering they still want new vehicles. That money is enough to establish hundreds of world class cassava industries to employ thousands of unemployed graduates instead they are using it to improve Oyibo's economy.
Cursed and End Time Politicians.

it's only DAAD.DE scholarship that I know of which you can apply for from Nigeria. Others require you to already be in Germany and have either very good grades or be a Good language speaker, B1 or B2
Tomiwaa: good day Mr. Obiwann. Please can i send you a pm. I am looking forward to getting a scholarship in germany. I feel you can help in putting me through. Looking forward to a reply

Bro, pls go to Australia and forget about canada except you can afford a second masters in Canada.
Even in Aussie, education is expensive. I'm considering exploiting the option of a PhD at Australia and Canada, altho there are just a few schools who offer scholarships.
bot0k: No blame them o, Germans are machines, they drill us like them. The stuff here is deep, esp for us in University of Technologies. Its not like the other Western World edu at all, they literally own your time here. There is superb comfort; 100% comfortable classrooms and amenities, but take a moment or two lapse and you're far behind in course work. Trust me, even I typing self, my table and taskbar is filled with books and PDFs, light dey 24-7 but can't even play one PES match without calculating how much minutes that will cost me; talkless of Master League.
GottSeiDank: Please can we let all this slide. You guys are derailing this thread. The guy said he is here to help. Please allow him afterall those we thought would come back here after they got to Deutschland are no where to be found. @Justwise pls take note.
Tay16: essence being you are better off paying a little more than having everything screwed over because you wanted to save $30.
I have read a few threads where people agreed to "assist each other " on NL all in a bid to save and they got screwed over and its not worth the stress!
See as you call 30 dollars like say no be anything. Even me wey don dey spend euros, I no fit call 30 euros the way you just call 30 dollars. Anyways, many people no get the 30 dollars. I was once in that situation, I know how it feels. Biko no discourage people. It actually works. No be everybody get money, like you.
AND to QUICKLY ADD: 2016 people make una learn GERMAN ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. A word they say is enough for the wise.
Tay16: if you struggling with shipping fees shouldnt that tell you to stick to what wont break your bank? im not insulting anyone but it sounds silly that a person who would to share shipping fees and if the documents go missing once they get to the "contact" you would have wasted application fees all in a bid to save shipping fees... does that make any sense?
Bros chill...all these "workin 2 jobs" u don see their results? If person make bad result here e don finish o...baba dem nor dey see my mama know am na make dem gv me job o...
To get 1.0 (A+) na 95% ie 58/60 or 95/100
1.3 (A)abt 90% 90/100
1.7 -2.3(1.7-2.0=B, 2.3 =C) abt 80-90%
3.3 - 2.7 65%-80%
3.7- 4.0 50-65%
The pass mark in most uni is abt 50% ...50% for naija na C ..the person don dey form big boy abi. And A is 70% right?
No disrespect but nor be everybody when register as student be student some re here to work within that 2yrs and enjoy tax cuts as students(very common) and after they spend 3yrs in one uni they switch and continue from another uni.
Baba i will nt advise any new student to pick up a job during his/her first semester( my opinion). U need time to understand the system and then plan how to combine work and study...
If u ve a good grade in ur first semester ....u can apply for grants or look for jobs as Hiwi (student/research assistant)...it is nt that simple but it is possible...
And if u graduate with a good grade ...learn the language( even if nt as fluent as native speaker just show some commitment)..u can always find something to do and no one can take advantage of u cos their isa minimum amount u can earn with your degree. And if u dont wanna stay here with ur good grade u can find something elsewhere....
Intelligent or dull..u need time to understand these concepts as often at times they re new ..no thanks to our education system..at the end of the semester u may ve up to 300 slides with additional materials to study...
One lecture = ca. 20 slides One semester =14 appointments with exercise if applicable.
One slide is abt 2 pages in textbook
in Nigeria u can go to club tonight and come write exam the next day (20 page course) and if u dont know u spy...but when u enter Hörsaal ( big lecture hall) and they tell u 3 per role( abt 3 free seats) and leave the next role empty....and duration 2hrs( u fit use 15mins dey read fhe question there)...Charlie body go tell u walahi. Or na oral exam...u open the door come meet 2 ot 4 profs all line question down...anxiety fit make u yarn trash sef...
to even write 2 exam one week na unwritten taboo.
I ve never written 2 exams in one week...the dept knows that these courses re bulky hence they ve at least a week interval btwn each exam and like uncle Futurewise talk if u fail 3 times u can never study that course again in Germany...if u even fail once the pressure is already on you
Baba make una leave club now and face book o... the thing dey hard the first semester but later come easy and if u miss am now baba forget am...e don go be that.
And to the other applicants this post is nt supposed to frighten u guys but sometimes we ve to say it the way it is ....prepare urself abeg and una when just land ...una don dey see am already..
It is doable...Hardwork Pays!.
All the best pple.
Chei.. My oga has spoken!!! Azzin the importance of getting a good CGPA first semester cannot be overemphasized. So many have said it, many keep saying it. That's the only reason keeping me from looking for a job now sef. Another thing to note is that many of these Profs know stuff but them no sabi lecture. I will drop a good tip: record your lectures. It's illegal though, but it surely helps. Again visit YouTube if you're lost. I have learnt a lot from YouTube. And although I was once discouraged, because of my background, I no longer am... A lot of students in my class don't know what the professor teaches in class. Initially I think say na me dull... Later I find out say na all of us dey same level.. Also past questions, try to find them, some lecturers dey repeat past questions die as I was told.. Anyways I don't believe I have posted all these comments here today... Need to get busy. If you want flex, flex... What is important is know yourself according to Socrates and TIME MMANAGEMEN. Two very important ingredients of success. Alles Gute. Tschüß!
Bro , there is nothing wrong with running things German chics but plz be adviced, They take time 2 trust.DO YOU HAVE THAT TIME ? U might be very sound academically but if u are distracted from ur studies.....u no d result.
If your parents are loaded then u can spend the way u like .But 4 me n some other guyz when dey leave on budget we got 2 save o .imagine 4 - 6 euro to enter most clubs meanwhile with 10 euro you can feed for a whole week.
if body dey do you one kind look for blacks other serious chics make study mates with...so you do not abardon ur studies while u pursue ur other desires... u no the rest
If na permanent stay u dey find , i think d best way is 2 graduate very very well so u get good job which will give u stay.if u date a very sound chic either of u can get job that will make u both stay back .
If u jam Germo when serious she will not have time 4 u as her studies is most important.if she manage like you she go dey fix appointment for once a month or anytime when she don study her book finish and believe me seminer/presentations dey every now and then. If u jam the one when no like book she will pull u 2 every party in town . And i do not know about other cities but in my city there is party every week almost like 3 or more different once a week. Mind u once u go party , your next day is ruined as sleep go dey worry u 4 class- who no go class go better pass u .
And talking about stay....do u think u will be a liability after graduating ?if ur result is hot u can apply for denmark green card scheme, u can apply for skilled immigration to australia, new zealand, canada, estonia 2 mention but a few. so if u must have romance have it because u really want 2 love not because u dey find stay.u world is looking 4 professionals and German Graduates are respected worldwide.
Nice points. So Denmark sef get green card? Didn't know before oh..
Party full this place sha... But if person no use him head him go fail.
Hampy: LOL. Bros you be Reverend? Abi e don get one black girl wen you like wey you come dey try chyke her by proxy? Forget that thing bros - Anybody fit blow him money on top anything wey him like, including the German girls. Plenty something dey their body wey no dey our naija girls body. For instance, dem be blondes and our naija girls be black, some fair ones, and some wey don dye their skin color from black to yellow. So, having blondes will be having a different flavour from that which you have been used to. I mean don't we all want to experiment, at some point in life? Try something different? Show me a man that can survive on bread alone, will you? Especially when that bread is not the best and there are varieties staring at you in the face.....Our naija girls pretend die, Blonds don’t (And this is talking from experience). They are so upfront. And I find that very attractive. Our naija girls just wants to take advantage of a ni***….They are always in it for something……mostly financial benefits (however coloured), and this includes the girlfriends and the wives. A blond will shag you without thinking twice, she will dutch the bills with you on dates and outings, she’ll spend time with you simply because she just likes your company…. If a naija girl is spending time with you, look closely, something is in it for her….By the way, you know wetin the ones wey we leave for Naija go dey go? Both the girlfriends and wives? Spare us that gist bro. Let’s talk about visa.
Respect to all the ladies. I don’t mean any disrespect. I’m just saying.
Some blondes pretend... Anyways story for another day..
kuthvic: My efamily SEE i tire o .U go start classes in the morning and 6pm here day don dark . The europe n russian guyz dey follow but be like say the Afri guys need 2 study n study o as I no know if na similar curriculum when we use 4 the past 4 yrs them self use o .NO TIME 4 CLUB OR PLAY O
On the area of Food, Here is what I do . I buy sliced bread and nutela and take 4 slices in my bag to school everyday.in september i spent over 200 euros on food but in october i spent less than 100. i ensure i cook . Make plenty stew n soup every weekend then boil rice or make Griess everyday morning and evening. Griess of 29 cent can be made 3x. Rice of less than 1 euro can be cooked like 3x too.
ON School Location , I agree with u I got admission in schweinfurt and Hamburg. The cheapest i saw in hamburg was over 400 euro 4 shared flat and about 1 hr or so by train from school. But I took schweinfurt as the accommodation is 247 for self contain and 5 mins from my school on foot.
so if u leave in a small city u may save more and stress less. imagine when i have a class by 8:15 i can leave my room by 8. but if it was far i will have 2 leave by 7. There are jobs but u must know German that is a plus 2 big cities though as u may get job with very low german lang. BUT 2 be sincere When u wan take do u work ? when u get over 300 slides to understand or crame ? u go enter lecture of 90 mins u no go fit ask question as u no even get idea of the theories when they prove?
Omo as them announce credit transfer I sharply go transfer some so that my life go easy o .lol That been said if anyone is interested in coming to FHWS - schweinfurt just send me a private mail and i will reply u with my number.
I wish team 2016 success
100 Euros on food? Omoh you dey try. The highest I spend on food monthly is 60 Euros. Secondly, there are cheaper houses in Hamburg, less than 300 euros. Cost of a city should not determine where you choose to study, rather course of study, curriculum and ranking of the school should decide.
Yeah, nice cooking tip: I cook stew and soup, plenty plenty, just once a month, and stock in the freezer.. Then am covered for the whole month.
Pauluche: Alright I,m back. Had a busy "yesterday". Lemmi start with the issue Annie17 raised. PLEASE there are GOOD winter jackets in Katangora. I repeat GOOD WINTER JACKETS. As I write I bought four of them and till now I haven't bought any in Germany at least until now and we've had pretty bad temperatures. I really don't know where these guys that are criticizing the mkt got their's. I bought each for 2.5k and they are worth it at least till winter comes. When you enter the mkt just go straight till u see the first building by your left (old upstairs) there's an Igbo man he'll give you good winter jackets. Yea I raised some important issues in the first post such as booking a bus or train and traveling with your MasterCard. In addition do well to carry Aboniki cuz e go help you.
*** Lemmi correct this mindset with which i entered Germany and almost got worse off. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE ATTEMPT TO CONVERT YOUR EURO TO NAIRA BEFORE YOU BUY THINGS like snacks which you might need if you stay long in school, basic items in the shopping center and so on else you go put yourself for hunger and almost get high bp as you de spend and convert. You have to understand that the standard of living as well as exchange rates are not the same. I almost developed ulcer trying to yield to some of the advice given here. Just be prudent in your spending I mean 670 euros is enough to see you through in a month and you will still have something to save at least if you spend wisely. I came in here with 200 Euros it's been over two weeks now despite the buying and all that I still have change with me I never even touch blocked account money.
*** Well that brings me to the issue of school location. I must say that ALL I read here about Jena like the city is small, the state is poor, there are no blacks, no jobs etc IS FALSE (no insult intended). In all honesty and with due respect to Nigeria the city is well organized and the serene is better than any city in Nigeria; Abj and Lag included. Well that's when comparing to 9ja. Yea the city may not have skyscrapers buh who cares about skyscrapers? For heaven's sake I'm here to study not for tourism lolz. There are tall rising buildings though. The City is small Omo no be size of city we come Germany come chop na? Read your books graduate and go anywhere you wish to. The city isn't small by the way. Because it takes me thirty-fourty minutes on tram to get to campus from where I live. Some cities in Thuringia may be poor but Jena Erfurt and some others aren't in anyway. The index of the state is computed on the performance of all the cities in the state that is why the state may of course have an average performance index. ** There are no blacks.... Holy Nehemiah! Who said? Omo I have seen so many blacks as a matter of fact there are so many blacks in my class mostly from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Gambia just name it. I was shocked when I saw them. Just go to Haus auf de Mauer when you see blacks you go run. *** There are no jobs.... ehnnn who said? Make I no hear am! My mentor asked me the second day after I arrived how I came (the funds) and if I would love to start work next week I told him I'd like to settle down at least for this term. Na there I stop. **** Basically I know the opportunity of getting student jobs, the vibe of the city and all that mostly influence our choices at times but from an Economic point of view you also have to realize that the cost of living isn't the same. More so you get paid the same amount for the student jobs. Here some student rooms costs less than 140 euros compared to 250 or 280 in Munich and other cities that's 140 euro difference! Cost of things are also cheaper in these cities compared to other larger cities. Take it or leave it for individuals with similar or the same spending preference (which definitely isn't possible because of the higher propensity to spend/consume in larger cities) the savings of the individual in a larger city will by far be lesser than that of the individual in an average city ceteris paribus. Bear in mind that I didn't include the issue of uni ranking because of the numerous debates it has been through here.
***** You have to make up your mind to study. School here no be beans people have said that before and the Europeans are not making it any easy. You go come class and lecturer go just de talk, de solve and then you realize se at the end na only 10% of the lecture you understand you no go even fit ask questions as the lecturer de teach because you no know where them de I mean you're practically lost! Na der u go see Europeans wey de shake head de understand and de flow with the lecturer and then you begin to ask yourself what happened to the four years you spent in the university in Nigeria. Imagine you go for just one lecture and then you go through 103 slides. How many slides will you have at the end of 12 lectures assuming the class holds just once in a week or 24 lectures assuming it holds twice a week? And then say you are offering 4 to 5 courses in the term? Guy even if you make first class na wash when you come here. I have a very sound result and I was like Omo nothing de happen no be Economics, Econometrics, Calculus and all that? Omo right now, something de happen to God! I see some guys talking about German girls and I laugh. You get 670 euros per month and you wan waste am on partying, clubbing, drinking and on German girls abi? Ok na enjoy! Very soon if you truly came here for studies body go tell you except you came here for something else. ****** If you have someone you are betrothed to like a serious relationship or engagement or probably you're even married guy chill out naaaa easy.... Consider the other party. We know se bodi de be as e get buh you have to understand that distance makes the heart grow fonder. If you truly have a conscience and you fear God you wouldn't do that. I mean wetin de the German girls bodi? Holla to all my black sisters nothing do una joor. I mean brodaly there's no comparison naaa how e de happen pass BLACK IS GOLD. Anyways I no be relationship counselor it was just an issue raised over here yesterday and the previous post about German girls in this thread that necessitated the last paragraph.
Good luck to all 2016 aspirants. Success is yours!
Great post... Only one wrong assertion. German Girls are not Nigerian girls, heck they are not even Cameroonian gold diggers nor are they African ladies looking for Pali. If your get an opportunity to get hooked up (as friends oh before una begin read yeye lines inside my post) to one, go for it. It will help you in the long run. Plus if you really care about your grades you wouldn't over do it. You should find a balance. And to add, WHITE IS ATTRACTIVE
