Now the question is which is the best in terms of Education, Living Expenses, Job Offers and Accommodation cc Williamso Eke40seven and my other ogas

jaegermesiter:
@obiwann,pls did u use yellow card for ur travel and how and where did u obtain it ?

U do not require a yellow card to go to Germany... But if you do want the vaccine, u could get it.

Obiwannn:

no need for yellow card



Beans would fly...everything on that list should fly. I dont know about groundnut oil though. No need to carry am..E de here
As for palm oil, that one is complicated, most people say it doesnt fly, but someone said on Finish thread that it flew, u just need to package am well. Dont forget to have that 1k readily available to sort immigration oh..lol..I know say by saying this, I de encourage corruption lol, but bros..just closee eye give them, make them no come change am for you. I know u knw what I mean lol

And when u land Germany, the police fit ask u, at least they asked me, wetin de inside ur bags.. just tell them clothes and foodstuffs. Then if they ask u what kind, (they asked me whether there was jam, cheese, etc (maybe they have embargo on thsoe goods, I dont know) in em), tell them rice, and ur local food...

And should you need to buy a train/bus ticket, insert the euro in the machine with the side carrying the blue rectangle and circular yellow star flag.

And A BIG Amen to all una prayers...

Perfect posts! Cold don greet u ba? Winter is coming... Hamburg can be cold oo.

Obiwannn:

Dont play with RWTH oh.. I hear say the school even get prestige pass the very prestigious TUM

GottSeiDank, oboy Katangowa too make sense oh...clothes cheap there gaan...guess how much we buy winter jacket (correct thick one o)?

To my ogas, LAN cable. Not WLAN cable...

@Toroze, you can apply to all of them. Would be wonderful to have to choose amongst these prestigious schools with all their acceptance letters on your laps.

Obiwannn:
Ehen, I forgot to add a very important tip for those who are yet to come.
By as much clothes, jeans, inners and shoes as possible when coming, forget that Aba made quality hoax. Its hogwash.
Person wey I know tell me say him buy 10 jeans... him no go buy jeans be that again for the next one year.

secondly, come with a LAN cable. Most internet connections especially the one you would get in your room are WLAN and not Wifi. E cheap for naija, around 2k for 10m long cable. I know say the price for here go be die.

I wish all of una more testimonies oh..and those that are flying today, tomorrow and soon a very very safe flight..
again all ye ghosts for here, there is God oh..make una come out of hiding, cos what u people are doing is selfish, and in the long run una no go benefit trust me. I met a lovely Nigerian dude here and he has really been very helpful.. I believe God connected him to me as a helper, cos I love helping people in return... So have a rethink, let us as One Nigeria take over Deutschland. If you have any info that would help ur neighbour, tip on a course, connection to a person, job link, etc, share it, don't hoard it. Enoough of the Indians, the Cameronians and even Ghanaians dominating us. The average Nigerian has a mentality of wanting only himself to succeed and doesnt want his fellow Nigerian to succeed; living life as if na competition. We need to get rid of that mentality. Nothing dey for life oh my people, as all in all na vanity. We should live it consciously with a view of helping one another and putting smiles on people's faces.
Its Obiwannn signing off....and OHHHH YES..WINTER IS HERE!!!

Styles2009, biko I get some questions..please check ur PM, or gimme ur Lyca number if u get
Chief Cindino, abeg u o get Lyca Number?
How una take cope with the initial cultural shock? I am finding it very difficult to go out of my room oh...been indoors all day.
Again, I found this site and was lost while sifting through it
http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Germany
I need a suggestion as per sim wey get cheap call rates to German numbers and cheap data plan...or those sim cards wey dey get flat rates wey cover calls sms and data. I don run from contract phone oh..I no buy again. The complexities involved pass even me wey like complex situations. Make I no go do wetin to finish all my block account money.

obiwann,when i dey tell you say boredom one kill me for this giessen before,at first there is this initial cultural shock and to go out is a problem but with time,u will get over it. At least hamburg get many africans,giessen not much,u go enta supermarket and na only u go black for inside many people but we will all blend with time. Godwin!

Na the thing be that. If you're heading to Deutschland, you can also hook yourself up with winter clothes at Katangowa - cheap, quality and strong
Thank me later

plz i need some help am experiencing delay have not be contacted for my student visa i did my interview since on the 11 of august and funded 3rd of september. i heed an advise so what should i do? i am new here

Rayhut:
@Obiwann, thanks for your feedback, if all the 2015 winter can report the situation in Germany as you are doing now, a lot of people coming later will not have problem in integrating with life in Germany, Nigerians in Germany are lagging behind Cameroonians, Indians because an average Nigerian don't like associating with each other or sharing vital information free of charge. We can change that if we want, for the cold matter, just begging to come outside so that the cold will master you or you mastering the cold, remember that this is just the beginning of winter, by December snow will begin to fall and weather will drop to 2 to 0 degrees, I think that weather is between 11 to 15 degrees now. Have a nice time over there, God will bless the work of your hand.

Very true the average nigerian doesnt like associating with his fellow man,everyone just dey form. I went to enroll today and you will be suprised the way indians and asians interacted like they knew each other from home,They are lagging behind,na even ghanian don dey show me road for here,anyways hoping for the best in the future and a change.

Tension is rising over one month now since my interview? i just mail the allien today and no feedback yet.

This is not a good sign: 7 days (5 working days) is too short, no request for insurance.
Now is the time to act fast. Think back, how was your interview? Are you going for BSc or MSc? If it's MSc, is the course related to your first degree? Are you using blocked account or sponsor? Did you (or your sponsor if applicable) give them any red flags?
Think about all these now so that when you get to the Consulate General tomorrow (except you're outside Lagos, there's no excuse not to go there tomorrow - No time), you'll know how to tackle the appeal, assuming it will be needed (I pray it's not, but I think it is a rejection)
