My special thanks goes to God Almighty for his unending love and faithfulness.

My testimony will not be complete if I don't mention all those who walked with me on this journey. Heybaby my sister from another mother, Fabcol who was always willing to help and advice me. Ahmed who funded my block account and restored my trust in humanity/ Nigerians. Stateboy8080 who was ever willing to render a helping hand plus all the numerous Nairalanders who shared in my joy, pain and confusion. Your collective selflessness has made this group the envy of all.

For everyone waiting for AD, AM and Visum at this point, I pray that God Almighty will perfect everything that concerns each and everyone of you in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Special greetings to everyone who sacrifices time to respond to queries endlessly. May God bless you all.

Congratulations!
Have you boom your flight? I could use your help if you have booked. I'm seeing outrageous prices online...maybe am not looking at the right place.

Yes ooo. Looking forward to seeing you too.

I wish you the best bro. What I learnt in this struggle is that helping people is extremely difficult.

I was once in your shoes when I was trying to raise block account money, my case was even worse because one person even promised to help only to disappoint me at dying minute, if not that I have some personal savings as a young man, I would have missed this opportunity because the disappointment came almost 2months after my interview.
Nobody helps, nobody cares unless your immediate family.

It takes a miracle to get any help from a Nigerian. Even banks are not willing to help.

I approached them for loan using a fenced land that is almost 2plots yet they demanded for C of O and gave impossible conditions.

Just know that shiits happen, I mean bullshiits

My Response

Most Nigerians are basically animals. We are not human beings by default. I see an average Nigerian as an evolved Evil Spirit. I will state my reasons;

(1) Earlier this year, I collected my original certificate from my useless School in Imo with a whooping 45,000!!! 22,000 payed to official school account while 23,000 was handed over as Processing fee to a fat blob of a Secretary!! Meanwhile sent them an email 2 years ago as regards an issue back then, till now, no response!!! I had to go physically and pay to sort myself out for something I have payed for before and somebody chopped the money!!!

(2) Nigerians are too inefficient. The dean of admissions of the school am attending in Germany has been talking to me through email and phone. If I send her a mail during working hours, 5 minutes later is already late if I don't get a reply. I normally get a reply within 2 minutes!!! I want to learn this German efficiency and productivity. They are just too productive. People always spend a fortune trying to go to America. Me? Apply for American Visa? When am not mad? I don't know why that country does not move me. Let me die if I go to another country aside Germany. The home of German machines!! I just love this country with passion. Most times I feel this is where God wanted to create me before one hopeless demonic angel shifted me to Nigeria. When am less busy, I speak basic German to myself and respond to myself too. Yes. Am Mad already for Germany. Nigeria has hurt me a lot. Very useless and worthless country.

(3) Nigerians generally have a criminal mind. I say this with authority because before I ended up as an Uber driver and part time business man, I used to have a big restaurant. I employ people. I was a big man. But my Nigerian employees ran me down. What I noticed is that after sells everyday, money invested in foodstuffs will not be gotten back. I was the one collecting money for sales so things were not adding up. Eventually, I installed secret cameras and found out what was happening. Most of the people working there usually come with coolers and big Nylons. After cooking everyday, they go and collect plenty food secretly they will take back to there families!!! So I was basically feeding families through my sweat... Chaii. I have suffered. Ndi Mmadu sef. When I confronted them, one animal among them had the effrontery to retort that its just food. Just food?? Need I tell you that new employees gotten were worse because this ones stole money on top? End of restaurant busibess!

(4) I delved into Uber. The first car I bought was terrible. Met a Nigerian (Am no longer one... Am German in spirit) car dealer to help me and get a good car. He swore to me that he is the best thing that happened after bread and butter in buying cars. I believed him but never trusted him. Need I tell you that this guy got me a seemingly tokumbo car? But everyday, I was visiting Mechanics. This was prior before I knew what was VIN. When one day another driver helped me and checked my VIN, I saw that this dubious Nigerian car dealer literally sold a dust bin to me! I bought a dust bin for a million plus seven hundred thousand. The car was highly accidented and badly damaged. They bought it for a token in America, shipped it to Nigeria, payed small duty for it, got good mechanics and panel beaters to return it to Tokumbo! Is the average Nigerian not a wonderful human being? I will attach a random pic to proove my point.

(5) Last year, I met an Uncle for a business loan. He told me in Igbo that "This kind of story is no longer told". But this was somebody that has millions and millions of Naira. When I told him I wanted to use my Big Generator and Car as collateral, he suggested "Why not sell them to him".... Lol. Ndi Mmadu sef. I decided to test him and ask him how much he will buy... Let me not say how much he mentioned. You will weep!

So in essence and to the young man looking for a loan... You are on a long thing if you are expecting anything from a Nigerian. Thats if your story is even true and not a well laid out scam format from inception.

N.B

Am sorry if my views here offend anybody. Am just sharing my experiences. Thanks.

Mtcheeew, that's the problem of sharing personal experiences, must be misconstrued.
Guess u no see where I wrote is just culture shock, am not an extremist ordinarily.
Oga be guided, don't cook up meanings for me.

Me ma I want to have culture shock too ooo...lol

Hey Chris how am I going to reach u now that u hav crossed...I have gotten my AM..planning to travel soon

Ayohbk:



What do you mean by "God help us" after sighting your first gay affection. Who needs help?.... you or them?. Glad you had a safe trip though. I wish you success in your new environment

Guys i'm in the middle of opening a fintiba account and the system has requested for a tax ID which i dont have yet, is there a way around this please? or i just have to go get it?

check other option,,, you will see i dont have tax ID or number

I selected “I don’t have tax ID or number” but it just won’t save and also says missing document when I try to close that section, is it ok I move along even with the “missing” showing?

just put 0000 where they asked you to put number it will go

Chriswazo:
Guys!

Never u put a foodstuff in your hand luggage, it caused kasala for me.
Anything that smells should also not be in your hand luggage.
Arrange someone in your city to pick you up from the airport especially if u are a first traveler with zero German language skills.
Language is really important, I have been hit by it on a number of occasions, the worst was when my guy called a taxi for me and the man didn't recognize my exact destination.
He kept talking to me in the car and I was just looking at him like a slowpoke, it really got to him, he had to come down to get clarity from people on the road.
Germany is quite safe and lively even at night, don't feel insecured based on our Nija orientation, was a little bit tensed when I was still lost outside by almost 11pm.
U will notice a whole lot of new culture here, true love really exist here. Everyone shows affection indiscriminately in the public, same with gays (my first time seeing gay affection, God help us)
The connecting flight at Istanbul is usually a hectic one, don't dull
Some Nigerians u will find here will be altruistic to u while many others will just be indifferent. So drop any entitlement mentality at Naija, no one owes u anything here, if u get helped, show gratitude.
Even some locals would want to help u if d understand ur problem, especially for the student side.
Lufthansa and Ethiopian airlines also fly from PHC airport.
I will advise ur hand luggage should be mostly clothes etc because a lot of things would be collected from you as prohibited items.
Be confident in your approach, we were only two blacks from IST to Ber. no sleep on a bicycle.
This is really a place to be but for the language and is surmountable.
God bless our helpful guys.

Will always update my experience here.
Shalom!

Best of luck to Summer hopefuls!

Wow congrats men and thank God for a safe trip. Did you guyz spend much time on your transit in Istanbul?

ernyo:



Congratulations!
Have you boom your flight? I could use your help if you have booked. I'm seeing outrageous prices online...maybe am not looking at the right place.

You can book and get a student discount at turkish airlines office @adeola odeku street V. I Lagos if u live in lag. Or call their office on a number which someone posted here some few pages back. I booked in lag for about 177k to hannover

Mudi4u:


Wow congrats men and thank God for a safe trip. Did you guyz spend much time on your transit in Istanbul?

Not at all.
We touched down IST at about 10:30 (Turkey time which is +2 from Nigeria) and our flight took off by 12pm.
By 11:30 or so, our pre-boarding started.
U have less than 1 hour to locate ur connecting flight departure gate as displayed on the various TVs and then be screened at the checkpoint for international connecting flights.
Just be up and doing, u go get am, nothing much sha

Pecky2222:

I am not understanding u.
He reprimanded me tacitly for saying "God help us" at seeing gays kissed etc.
It shocked me but I didn't take it at heart.
He sounded as if I judged them.
Abeg!

Vic13:

Good afternoon guys, happy Sunday.

My Response

You say this about your fellow Nigerians online and you wonder why your "saintly" Germans don't rate you
You speak like you're entitled or anybody is entitled to loan you money or help you. You'll soon discover that Nigerians are better "helpers" than the foreigners you've made into a seemingly god

I also have business in Nigeria and no complain , employees are terrible everywhere in the world, you have to be one step smarter than your employee if not you'll go bankrupt and it doesn't apply to Nigerians only. Why didn't you install the CCTV from the onset, have you seen any foreign restaurant or eatery without CCTV?? It's not just for decoration purposes Oga

The Uber you do, tell me with your chest that you haven't tried to negotiate offline with a passenger even for once or cheated your sleep and switched to taxify when Uber notified you that you have driven too much for the day and suggest you go and rest??

There are good and bad in every country, that you're always meeting with the bad tells a lot of story.

Someone on this thread who happens to be my friend also needed a loan of 1millon to complete his BA, he didn't need to preach too much to me before I loaned him. And no, I didn't have the money on my own, I also loaned from friends and it took just 4phone calls in under 24hrs to raise it.
So yes, I took a loan from friends to loan another friend.

Stop complaining about Nigeria like you're the only one in it and stop painting a negative image of your fellow countrymen just to gain acceptance by a group of people who do not care about you. You're yet to travel out, you'll understand more of life when you get to DE and stop embarrassing your country men and making Germans seemingly look like gods

And lastly change your circle. You can't sit with dirt and complain of flies.

Peace
