ShyWhale:
I am a Nigerian in Germany with a German Masters degree. It's quite difficult to get professional jobs in Germany as an African as we are usually the last of the pack. The only luck I ever had was to get internships, internships that takes several months to get and usually only for short periods. The high percentage of Africans even with German Phds doing menial jobs is highly discouraging and depressing. Most are trapped in the race for survival and I can't imagine myself living life like them. I feel I could do better with my skills and education that spreads across Europe's top countries.

I made the decision to return to Nigeria, harness my skills and start up a processing company. At 25 and the sole breadwinner of an extended family, they are asking me to stay put, saying that the Nigerian environment is not good for business (I feel they are only scared of losing out on the goodies they get from me).

Also last year, the family introduced me to a female in the UK, talking about marriage to her. The said lady is a Nigerian within my age range, but born and raised in the UK. Though I have been to the UK severally to see her, I have made no commitments whatsoever as she is not the kind of lady I would marry all things being equal. She and the family have however given me a ultimatum to decide now.


What do you advice?

I won’t advice you living life at the mercy of a woman and yet loosing your German residency because of that. It’s better to do the menial jobs and keep trying until you get a better job. At least the menial job pays the bill and everyone is happy at home. Not to say you have to settle for less. But lesser is when you leave at the mercy of a woman and thereby loosing your German residency to that effect as you stated. I’m sure with time you would get a better job bro!!! Patience!

Congrats. Nice seeing someone with Lincoln university i20 getting approved. This will instill hope in many others going for their interview with same school, as some call lincoln university - "Visa mill university".

Please do you know anyone for Lincoln??

Oeworldbest1:


Congratulations. Joining you soon. Were there many applicants there today? Who interviewed you man or woman?

Of course there was. It was a man on a white shirt.

Hello Congratulations on your approval
Was it Abuja or Lagos
If Abuja, what window

It was in Lagos. Window 4!!!

Had my interview today. To be honest with you all ehn. I cannot comprehend all I said to get the white paper. It was like something else assumed me. I'm saying because I can't give a transcript and I know I learnt a lot from reading people's transcript.

It was my first time though.
It was an MBA program with focus on financial management and investment.
Lincoln university California is the school.

But my advice is simple. Know well about the course you are going for. Please don't cram.

Thank you nairalanders.. You groomed me!!!

You risk being returned ('deported') to Nigeria from the Point of Entry (POE). It's better to get a permission letter from your school if you're going later than the resumption date stated on your form I-20.

Thank you..

Evening all. Please what's the consequences of traveling to US four days after resumption??
