How I wish this thread could be active and maintained like the Living in Canada and Australian threads. People post their landing experiences ranging from flight to accommodation, jobs, culture shock/difference, school, and more.

But here, that's not the case. People prefer to ask admission and visa-related questions right here when the German Visa thread is obvious on the front page. Unfortunately, some people will go ahead and answer those questions on this same thread, thereby defeating its purpose.

Even guys in Germany seem not interested in sharing their personal experiences. You will hardly get tips and experiences from German residents on Nairaland, save for a few peeps.

Lastly, we can still bring this thread back to its formal glory. Newly landed Nigerian students in DE should endeavor to share their landing stories and life in Germany (their state) generally.

Many people love Canada because of the way nigerian Canadians maintained the thread. They post everything about the country.

Most nairalanders believe Germany is a racist country which is not so. My coursemate in school has a friend in Germany. The guy told him that he can never leave Germany for USA... Can you imagine... The same Germany some people are saying bad things about. Please let us share the experiences and tips.

Berliner and ottersberger please your attention is highly needed

naijaobi:

To study medicine here without standard German language is like ttrying to carry water in a basket. It is complicated. No amount of German u learn in Nigeria will qualify you to study medicine here. You have to study German here and then pass some exams to be eligible to apply. Best is study your medicine in Naija, then you can apply here to work after you muse hAve learnt the language. I know many guys like that. Or better still apply for language course here in Germany.

Hi Naijaobi.

We trust you are well and Deutschland is treating you well.

We noticed your immeasurable contributions on this thread in time past, and really crave your active participation in reviving the thread once again.

I've been to Germany. I love it. It's not a very expensive country. The people are very serious about rules, but are generally nice and helpful if a bit intimidating. Stay in Jugendherberge (youth hostels) and eat Doner Kebab to save money. General notes: Germany is not a country that caters to customers -- little but bars and brothels are open past 10PM. Germans speak good but accented English, but bilingual materials are rare. There are black people in Germany, so you won't be stared at like a traveling panda exhibit, but they will look at you. Bakeries are good places to get cheap food in the morning, but they're typically done by afternoon. Never give money to Gypsies -- they will follow you and dog you for more and more, ALWAYS more. They are not needy -- they are professional scammers who net hundreds of Euros every day. They also love to steal. From what I know, antiblack racism is rare, and they are more likely to be interested in knowing about you and where you come from. If you outwardly dress islamically, they are far more likely to look at that and react negatively than if you just look black. In large cities like Berlin, Mannheim, and Frankfurt, they have black people. There is even a very good Ethiopian restaurant in Berlin by one of the hostels. In small villages and so on, you will find no black people and there is the possibility that maybe the people there have never seen a real black man. I hope this post helps.

although i´ve not been to all parts of Bayern, i´ve met virtually everyone from all the regions here. cos of where i work of course.

Bavarians are fun, cultural and strong. most of their women are indpendent, old ones never tire...the landlady of a colleague is 88, this woman still does chores and voluntarily does their laundry.

the notion that Germans are racial bla bla is not so here. these guys would kill you of love. once they get to know you, that´s all. trust me, patience is key. although sometimes it could take longer when you´re trying to set p...me myself still dey on hold, e no easy.

it´s amazing how my colleagues at work want me to learn their native dialect, Bayerische rather than Deutsch. thanks to them, i know a few words and sentences in Bayerische.

yh, they´ve been many instances where Nigerians here dgaf about a fellow Nigerian. it´s really bad. But i believe a few haven´t lost it.

one amazing thing some of my colleagues from different nationalities tell me is... i´m the best Nigerian they´ve met. it´s saddening to hear how some folks behave here, it´s really lugubrious

but we thank God, some of us still raise the flag high
