Raesrimud:Have you been following the study visa tread?? If you have, you will be aware that the consulate is now focused on giving appointment dates to those who are going for PhD with funding and priority masters applicants with first class as at 2019/2020 (if I am not mistaken) with scholarship as well. I do not want to dampen your mood by telling you to include other countries in your list to broaden your chances, but the reality is that, you just have to do so. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hello All, did anyone here apply for a passport renewal from the month of Dec - Jan at the Nigerian embassy in Berlin? If yes, have you been able to get the passport or any info from the embassy? Thanks |
Re: Nigerian Students In Germany..how Do You Survive?? by DarryOsh(m): 11:15am On Apr 23, 2021 |
Phineas01: There is a delay is passport issuance/renewal in Nigeria due to lack of passport booklets. I'm guessing the same issue is affecting issuance/renewal abroad. There has been diagreements between the government and the company that prints our booklets. ( Our booklets are printed by a Malaysian company). Accusations of breach of contract and all that. There is a huge backlog of requests from January. Hopefully they sort their issues soon cos lots of people are stranded. 2 Likes |

promise2: Sincerely I am also interested in how he made millions while being a student, also with the fact that he must be learning to perfect his Deutsch at the same time. He also has to prepare for exams as German schools are not that easy. I really don't know how people combine *intense* work & school, one of them must suffer (either school or work) & you would still end up coming out with bad grades. So at the end, you never learnt anything because you were working all through, trying to earn millions. Honestly I am open to learning from anyone who is willing to give me a break down on how this actually works. 20 - 25 hours per week seems fine, but for you to earn millions, It means he has been working 100 hours per week. So HOW? |

Badmuskennis007: Usually anytime I see someone talking about Frontend roles not being real IT, I see this as an egoistic mindset. Clement Mihailescu CEO of AlgoExpert had a very long video on how Frontend can be very hard, depending on the context, especially when It comes to UI Testing, Automation and Simulating User Experience and how they use your product. Anyone who makes such statement also means they have little experience in programming in general, they are the ones that throw around buzz words in non IT environment so people can hail them. |

HOW TO SAVE MONEY IN GERMANY 1. ALWAYS calculate your money. Always know how much you have, how much you’re spending and how much you have left. Don’t just spend money anyhow without keeping record. In Germany you make money but you lose it as quickly as you make it. This will help you manage your spending, especially if you have expensive friends. 2. Get a job. I know it sounds like a sermon but you’d be surprised how lazy people become when they arrive Germany. The society has a way of distracting you. All of the beauty, freedom, good life and everything you’re not used to. When you’re new, you want to experience everything at once. At some point you get carried away and become lazy. So yeah, get a job. 3. It is okay to skip school to work. Studying is good and so is finishing your studies on time, but if you’re broke it is hard to concentrate. Sometimes you can do less school activities and work. Big companies like Amazon, Volkswagen, DHL etc, always have openings when they employ students on short term contracts. Usually for 3 months. They also pay you well. You can earn up to €2000 a month. 4. Travel out of your city and work. Yes, students do it. Some students go to Stuttgart to work, some Munich, Frankfurt and other big cities. Don’t sit down in that small city and be washing plate in the kitchen. Holidays are usually a good time to do this, when school is not in session. 5. Change your friends. If your friends are making you spend too much money, stop hanging out with them. Friends come and friends go, you will be alright. Don’t finish your money trying to please people or fit in. 6. Always pay your bills. Don’t overlook or skip any bill. That €20 bill you ignore this month, can become a €5000 debt. For every month you don’t pay a bill, you have to pay more the next month. This can finish your savings if you’re not careful. Pay your bills and pay on time. 7. Don’t start a business until you’re ready. Yes, some students start thinking of how to start a business or buy a property back home. They quickly start sending money to Nigeria. The business crumbles because the people they trusted with it, did not handle it well. Sometimes they get scammed. Also beware of Nigerians in Germany who want to introduce you to a business. Including your pastor. They can scam you. 8. Have a Nigerian bank account and save money there. Before you leave Nigeria, keep your bank account active and make sure you get online banking to monitor your account. Also get a debit card from your bank so you can use it to withdraw money in Germany. When you get your salary, send some money to your Nigerian account. There was a time when 1 Euro was 200 naira. Then it became 600 naira. People who save money in their Nigerian account gained from it. Don’t touch the money in your Nigerian account. Only use your debit card in case of serious emergency. The money in your Nigerian account will also save you when you visit Nigeria. 9. Like Jay-z would say “If you can’t pay for it twice, you can’t afford it”. Don’t buy expensive things. Germany does not care about your fashion or luxury. Buy most of your clothes in Nigeria and bring them here. Of course there’s better quality in Germany but it’s cheaper in Nigeria. A nice jeans from Nigeria can last up to 3 years. Also don’t rush to buy a car. You don’t need it. Germany has good transport system and even rich Germans use trains and bikes. 10. Learn some handwork. There are students who can do dreadlocks, play musical instruments, make clothes and other things. Do it beside your regular job and make some money. In my office there’s a girl from Kenya who makes clothes as well. She’s a student. She made some masks for Corona and sold it in the office. My colleagues bought from her and the masks were beautifully made. 11. Your money is your money. You worked hard for it and you can do what you want with it. Don’t let greedy family in Nigeria make you feel guilty or put pressure on you. I know students who send all their money to their parents and sibling. The siblings are also working but they believe money made in Germany is better. Be careful with them. 12. Calculate all your bills first. The best way I saved money was setting aside money for my bills. I always save money for all my bills for the next 6 months. Like rent, food, insurance, gym, WiFi, phone, if I have enough money to pay those for the next 6 months, I know I’m covered. I can save the rest. You will not always have a job. Just make sure your bills will be paid, so you won’t panic when the time comes. I know some guys who could not afford rent for the next month and they did things out of panic, to get the money. Things like sex with other men. Some of them regretted it after. 13. Don’t cheat the system. Don’t make money on the side and be paying into your German bank account. If money is coming into your account and there’s no record of tax, you can be in trouble. Also don’t do illegal things like selling drugs. It can get you deported. 14. Avoid fines. Buy a ticket for the train and do the right thing. You can risk it if you want but if they catch you, you’ll pay €60 fine when you could have just bought a ticket of €2,80 and saved yourself the trouble. 15. Lastly, spend your money and enjoy yourself. Don’t just save and save without enjoying your hard work. When you die, people who don’t know how you suffered for the money, will be the ones to spend it. Yes, students die too. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

student visa. I heard it's possible, but I doubt. Reason being that you are a student and you have to take care of yourself and your spouse. It will cost a lot more. My advice would be to travel first, study, learn the language and get a good paying job. By then you wouldn't have problems bringing your spouse or kid over. Your spouse could start learning German now, so finding job won't be hard by then Please can i come to Germany through language course/ apply for language course, but right now am in Ukraine and when is the right time for me to apply [/quote] |
