For those that are in Nigeria hoping to come to Germany and make money while going to school,it is very difficult, just stay back in Nigeria because if you come here, you will drop out of school and at the end of it you may not get the money because those that are working full time pay upto 35% tax and by the time you pay house rent and feeding the money will remain small.We don enter am be say we don enter am no come join us unless if your condition is so bad in Nigeria, if not you will join us to wail. By the time you pay working tax from 19% to 35%,television and radio tax, insurance,house rent, feeding, all the money don kaput

Hello oooo,
You are in Kano now! Just look for the nearest high court there, find one of the notaries there and certify your document. Ensure it is stamped and sealed of course.

@ Obiwann: I know say we get talk.... I go holla you.

Hmmmmm........ I appreciate that you painted the real picture of what's going on over there. But then, the question I ask myself is, is it as bad? To some of us, the job, although important, is not as important as the certificate. The certificate comes first in hierarchy of importance, but one should at least be comfortable and this can only be achieved with a source of income.

Personally, I am a graduate with a fairly-paying job, and I have been saving funds for my blocked account because I have the intention of pursuing a masters degree in Germany. Recently, several posts from big brothers in Germany cautioning prospective students about having too high an expectation have one way or the other discouraged some of us, not that we are lily-livered, but we are only apprehensive of the unknown, hence, trying to play safe. Truly, it would help caution those suffering from overnight riches syndrome. Now my fear, does it mean one would not be able to work all through the study years? What happens when one exhausts the blocked account because by my calculation can only sustain one for about a year? What happens the following year?

I would appreciate blueprints and survival tips from veterans in the house. This would go a long way to take a decision, as any impending danger would be nipped from the bud.

Thanks all.

If you know that you dont have anybody to send money to you when your 8000€ finishes try all your best to secure admission in a city where you can get job, e.g Berlin,Munich, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Bremen,Frankfurt,Bonn,etc, infact dont go to a school that is located in a village like europa university frankfurt(order) in eastern germany, Freiburg,erfurt,postdam etc. You can work here, like myself i started working after 1month with mercedes, be ready to do hard job, cleaning job, if you know how to speak German then everything will be easy for you, you will be the one to select job but mostly manual jobs. If you cannot speak German, you can also get a job, in average big cities, it not difficult to get a student job of 450€ per month. Try to get student accommodation in your school because it goes for 200 to 250€ in most unis, outside rent a shared appartment outside the student accomodation ranges from 270 to 450€ depending on the city you living e.g Hamburg and munich may not have room that less than 300€ per month but smaller city like Bremen will have from 270€. You can after paying house rent and insurance your student working of 450€ is finished then you use your block account maybe 100€ from it to feed for a month. This is reason why somebody that is having it in mind to become overnight rich when he comes to Germany while studying have to have a rethink because definitely it is not going to be easy hustling through out and going to school with German system of education where the work load of exercises every week is as big as mountain.

babanila:


I like your confidence, are you going for Bsc or Msc ?.
Don't forget that some English textbooks are not easy to read let alone a german language that is not your mother tongue, so relax and save your ENERGY for your course in Germany.
Alles Gutes.

why shouldn't I be confident wen I hv already seen a lot of sucess story?
my cousin graduated from TU Munich with 3.7 in international relationship n pol science,a German medium course and his friend from Auto system engr,yet they didn't tell me that they r dying.i dnt suscribe to imposibilities.
zu Mir sind alles sehr einfach und möglich,besonders,wenn Gott bei Mir IST.

At the bolded, don't go to a village in any part of Germany. Kleve is a village in the North, but people there can tell you how it is.... you have to travel to köln or dusseldorf to get work. People in postdam, frankfurter oder and Cottbus get job in berlin but the travel time is killing.
It's not about East, South, West or North. If your sending your blocked account money back home or you are using sponsorship, let the big or relatively big cities be your target. Please and please don't go to a place with 50k population because it's in the west or south.... you go cry eeeewwweeee. No matter how bad it is in a big city, you will always find something to do to sustain you.
For example in Berlin, 1. you get 2 years straight residency no need to get another 8k for the 2nd year, 2. relative to other big cities in Germany, accomodation/social life is cheap here, which means you can save more than someone in Munich for example 3. You can earn up to 950/month b4 u start paying tax. These and many more are advantages of been in a big city.
He who has ear let him hear, do not fall for the north, West, south or east theory.

Peace

Bros your cousin's grade was below average. The lower the point here, the better your result is. E.g 2.0 is phd grade

I think I would agree with you that Berlin is the best city to study in Germany. Very fantastic schools at the very top, multicultural city, good job opportunities and comparably affordable when compared to Munich and a far better semester ticket than the one in Munich. Although things are changing in terms of rent these past few years as rent is going up fast in Berlin.

@Gcapable

stoicism:


I find it confusing why the title of some degree is Bachelor of Science or Master of Science in Electrical, Mechanical etc Engineering, I am just trying to figure out if this doesn't diminish the value of the Diploma ? Cuz I have always been used to BEng and MEng..... What's your take on this bro?

honestly dat use to confuse me too bt I realised some institution tag it MSc while some oda tag it MEng but they all masters prog. However hv seen some pipo claim MSc is higher but no clear defination. As for the Bachelor of science in Engineering.....even some uni in nigeria offer B.Sc mechanical engineering.

Souljaboi1:



Is that possible ? If yes, I'm sorry but I've already sent mine.

I read your comment about using NIPOST, AM PLANNING to use NIPOST in Kano after certifying my documents in abuja, pls how reliable is it?... Thanks
