erico2k2: To me, expecting equal opportunities on foreign soil is even far-fetched sef. I think most people basically emigrate for economic reasons. E. g, most Mexicans that brace all manner of life-threatening hazards just to cross into the u.s aren't expecting equal opportunities per se, but rather job/economic opportunities. Everything else pales in comparison. I think a lot of immigrants fall under this category. They want to work and send money home in peace. And don't mind doing what many locals would consider as menial jobs to achieve that. Such folks don't care much for how tarred their host country's roads are, or how constant their electricity is. Such comforts would hold little meaning to them if they can't work to improve their economic status. 10 Likes 1 Share |

OBUKOMENA:first is that you already have a negative mindset about everything so even if you travel down to Germany it will be difficult to make it. Secondly your rating of how successful a man is through his means of communication with you shows how low your iq is (no insult), there is Internet everywhere in Germany and it is affordable so many people communicate more through social media (this is 21st century), that does not mean he can't afford 10Euro card to call you even if he is not working at least he receives nothing less than 320Euro monthly from Government as an unemployed person, that money is approximately 170k in naira. Thirdly is that you are only concerned with people like your colleague's Father without considering others in Germany �� that are doing very well for themselves and their families, so you have chosen side of the fence that you want to belong. Lastly I want to tell you that Germany remains the biggest Economy in the whole of Europe �� and their contribution to the European Union is second to none. Before I end I will advice you not to only think of how to hammer immediately in Germany as making it in Germany is not a short term project but what is guaranteed is that u must reach your goal if you follow the laid down rules. Also think about the quality of life when you are making comparison the next time. Shallom. 6 Likes 1 Share |

OBUKOMENA:Does your friend and colleague father have papers? If they don't , they will never get a good job , if your reason of traveling abroad is to escape Nigeria without papers , yes you will get there, do odd jobs and you will feed but u won't have as much as u should 3 Likes |

thebosstrevor1: I am not supposed to reply but let me advise you that it is not good to hold on to a belief that can limit you. Because belief can limit someone. What you don't believe can never happen to you. I would have shared the person's LinkedIn page who got a job in Germany right when he was here as a banker. ..but no need. Like I said, work on your belief system. What you think is impossible, someone who knows better and believes will experience it while you who don't believe such will pass the opportunity over. When you guys are saying someone who can't speak German can't live or work in Germany, does that mean there are no international companies in Germany? Do you know at all what they call expatriates? Many Nigerian students are studying in Germany with English as the language of tutoring. What does that suggest? 10 Likes 2 Shares |

thebosstrevor1: This guy is just so ignorant. Most IT jobs don't require German. But learning the language gives you more opportunities to more other jobs. These days there are so much jobs out there that many employers are asking the government to let in more immigrants to come work. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
