CooKeed:

AM: 22.11.21. (I submitted my travel date and insurance certificate on the same day)

Visa: 27.11.21 (I went to dhl to collect it, rather than wait for delivery)

My Interview Questions:
What do you know about Germany?
Economy of Germany?
Geography of Germany? Etc.
Why did you choose to study in Germany?
Why your chosen programme?
Do you speak German?
Final year project?
Plans after studies?

Then I was given some multiple choice questions to solve.


Thank you to all the people who supported me with information when I reached out. I couldn't possibly name you all.

I wish everyone the best.

Congratulations bro!

That means you waited for 7 months for an appointment?

kefmawin: I would never subscribe to violence or impunity in the church. But the truth is that this fellow could have sought redress from higher church authority rather than going for the police in a family(church) affairs.

I am not a member of Winners Chapel, but it seems we are full of kill and go choir in Naira land who enjoy cheap criticism.
Some of the security men in churches are even hired. Therefore going to authorities to report such thing raises doubt if such a person knows why is in church. 1Cor. 6:1-6 says it all.

Cheers...

You are right! But for God's sake, how does dt warrant beating a church member to the extent of crying so loud. There is no justification for that. At all.

master dele: Many people are afraid to comment because it is a church matter.

If you want to do a bad thing in Nigeria and you dont want anybody to condemn you, add religion to it.

Sincerely, i dont know what to write. Am really suprised that someone can post such a thing. And it'l really be sad if you call yourself a christian.
I really pray that Christ will forgive you and make you understand what you have done.

ASUU Strike: What are you doing at home?

I felt really concerned about this issue and decided to make use of my pen. Perhaps this might help someone. This strike has gone beyond a month now and most undergraduate have been doing nothing at home. Well, I am not writting this to the government neither am I writting it to ASUU or the youths out there. This lines are directed to YOU. I mean the YOU that is reading this piece at the moment.

Let me tell you a blunt truth. If you are at home doing nothing now because of ASUU strike, it is most likely that you will also be doing nothing after you graduation. That simply means you are not valuable enough to be hooked by a company for employment. Well, lets leave that for another day.

Lets consider for a while those things that are taking people's time at home: seasonal films, soccer manager, play station, 2go, facebook . . . Which of these is holding you down from being valuable? After serious consideration, you will discover that all these are products of great minds and busy hands. What are you busy doing? ASUU strike should be a blessing for you. Why cant you take advantage of this period and also put your name in the hearts of people.

As an accounting student, what will it cost you to walk up to a bank close to your house and tell the branch manager you are willing to work with them for free? Irrespective of you level at school. Go to as many banks as possible. Go back as many times as you hear a NO. I dont thing this would cost you anything. Dont you know this would add a bullet of experience to your CV as a graduate?

As an English or art student, have you checked al the radio stations in Ibadan, Lagos, Akure or Abeokuta and they told you they dont need you? There is no harm in trying. All you do at home is to listen to music on Splash FM and you are happy? Really funny!

Listen, you can be great in life without having a degree. So dont let ASUU vs FG hold you down. Dont be deceived. You have everything you need already. You can read. You can write. You can speak good English. Oh! You can even use the internet. And funny enough you also have a phone that can be used to surf the internet. What else do you need? Tell me. You think you need a degree to get busy? I laugh. Make use of google to see how many Nigerian graduates are jobbless. Some are even at home now waiting for NYSC. That is their own excuse for not getting busy.

My dear, you dont have an excuse. Dont wait for FG. They are doing nothing and they wont. Make you moment count. Dont waste you like. Get up and find something to do. Go out now. You are already educated. A degree wont make you educated. You have it already.

Go and ask how much pepper sellers are making per day. Go check how much tailors are making. Bricklayers, Akara sellers, bukaterias, barbers, salons, mechanics etc. These are people you will regard as 'uneducated'. What about you that knows the laws of physics, knows why water is colourless and why calculus can not be used in literature? It is a pity that are you using all that on soccer manager and vampire diaries. You use your laptop as a toy instead as a tool.

Why cant you apply those things you have learnt in school to everyday trade in your neighborhood?
Why cant you call your friends around to form a team and form a company?
Why cant you learn something? Fashion designing, programming, craft etc.
Why cant you develop your selling and negotiation skill?
Why cant you buy and read a book today?
Why cant you volunteer to work in a company around you for free?
Why cant you think about you life for once and forget degree, ASUU or FG?
Why not NOW?
