Lol, dude, two guys have PROMISED to give OP 20k. That is 40k already. But for all it is worth, if OP can show a debit alert dated today of her N40,000 withdrawal, I will add 20k to the 40k she has been promised and I will do it immediately.

So many pity stories on NL to make people ask them to drop their account so others would donate and the donations would continue, while they bump the thread up for relevance.

Seconded.

This is how things are being done in saner climes we want our country to be like.

Slow and steady we will get to the country of our dreams.

God bless Lagos State.
God bless Nigeria.

This is medicine after the death of a 17yr old, when they issued the permit to run the factory, why didn't they check, if all safety standards were met?
In a sane climate, the office in charged of issuing and regularly checking such factory would have had to face the law too not just the factory owner.

Bank staff.
So I went to my bank for app login complaints. The app was updated and the old login details didn't work. Customer care guy asked for my details (guess he quickly checked my account balance with over 3m). Right there, I saw I had a new view on LinkedIn. Same guy attending to me�

That's a huge security risk, did you report to the bank headquarters?

I disagree with you Sir. There are people who work in an international agencies and want to help but nairaland badmouthed people will make them to stop.

If one say he/she work in such organization the first thing to do is to investigate that person.

The case of Uchemba is still fresh in our mind, the Dis-Honorable UN Youth Ambassador

Derende:
Infact this was another gbege for me, because that was the same stamp on my passport that my agent stamped for me when I came in through Idiroko border. Infact I almost started behaving like a mad man at the airport, only God knew the way I got to my hotel from the Airport.
I was later told that the only solution at the moment was to exit Cotonou through seme border post( which was the authorised border point recognised by the UAE government and the Benin Republic government) and re enter again with a fresh stamp and also do some documentations and attestations of stay for the previous day's I have spent in Cotonou.
At the end of the day, I had no choice than going back to Seme border to restamp my passport with other Nigerians because lots of Nigerians where involve in the same idiroko border stamp issue.
At the end of this episode I have spend another 158k for restamping, letter of residence attestations, a fresh covid Test ( they asked me at the covid centre to carry out a fresh test with another money due to the fact that the previous covid I did has expired for over three weeks) and other miscellaneous expenses. This was money I was holding before to sort part of my hotel bills all gone due to a very bad agent that frustrated me.

During this process alot of Nigerians here who were in even a worst situation as mine have had their visa validity expired at Cotonou and making another application for a fresh visa just for the shame of going back home to Nigeria more dejected and frustrated. The situation was not a palatable one at all because since the incident at the Dubai airport , the Benin immigration officials were now refusing Nigerians to board as far you already have the fake Idi iroko stamp on your passport even after going to seme border to do a restamp. Lot of people missed their flights due to this current issues and a few lucky ones who were fast enough had to quickly reschedule their flight to carry out other attestations and documentation like Hotel bill receipts for the period they were in Benin to back up their passport restamp.

To be continued....

158k to restamp passport, what i did for less than 50$ there exactly 1 yr ago, Chai I no go wetin i go talk.

Depends on what you're willing to spend for broadband.

Which network is this with 450Mps, which area? What's the rate monthly?

Basalt:


I don't have any SL contact. I came with block account not SL.
I can only say that it's a nice route but very risky.
The embassy still has to verify the authenticity of the SL and if they are satisfied, they will grant you a visa, if they are not, a rejection follows immediately.
Now imagine what happens when you are rejected after paying over 1million for SL and the person even refuse to give you back your money?
For your SL to be accepted, the person issuing the SL must meet the financial requirements to sponsor someone in Germany, the embassy will verify that, also the person should be a German citizen or permanent resident with a good paying job.

So it's a 50:50 thing. It works perfectly if you roll with genuine people and doesn't work if you roll with fraudsters.
If you have someone in Germany who is willing to write the letter for you free of charge, it's best.

Anyone that can link me with a forklift job in america or Europe, I no mind sharing my pay with the person for the first six months or one year.

Am serious!

Learn German, search for work from here, go to German embassy website and search for visa to get work or training in Germany.

If you are smart, I told you all you need.

thebosstrevor1:
Depends on the business.

Some businesses need websites while some do not need.

But offline and online tactics should be used to get traffic for any business you do.

For instance, A blog need a site but getting traffic is all about using all available seo tactics on ground plus ads if you have the money.

A phone seller in my opinion do not need a website, advertising on Facebook, nairaland and other social media might bring the needed sales.

The way things are set up is that google get most revenue from ads, so the system is more favorable to those who have ad money than for those getting wanting to get free traffic from Google.

So you take a Facebook advert to buy and sell phones seriously than a brand with a website? You might buy a phone with Eba glued inside tomorrow �

Mrshape:

Explain the last statement please.
Do you mean I should go into programming.
If that's what you mean I have a programming camp for kids in Benin which I run during major holidays.
Please explain more on what I can do more with my talent as stated above.

Sorry you might find my response annoying, but you have Google to answer all the questions you need, I know exactly what you want to hear, the poster should tell you "exactly" what you should do and make money online, but it doesn't work that way.

Carefully ask big Google those questions and read forums. (use a Laptop, mobile view too dey deceive people)

My experience: I saw a need Nigerians in particular needed/wanted, created a website, monetized it and till date, I still earn from it, My website/domain is 10yrs old next month, and it's the best $9 investment I did buying that domain name.

Let me add this part, I don't program nor write any codes, but I simply solve issues people are looking for online and make money with it, at the moment I have 11 websites, 7 working fully, I do loose counts of domain names I register as my target is 100 in a couple of years cos with a country of ours with 160 million population, there's money to be made online.

Now, your job is to read, read, read online and trust me, you'll find the answers there.

"Who We Sent Vs Who They Returned To Us"- Lady Gets Shocked Over Brother's Weight At Boarding School

A Nigerian lady was shocked to see her brother's weight loss after he returned from boading school, IgbereTV reports.

Taking to Twitter on Friday, Aunty Pepper (@Phepsy) shared a photo of her brother the day they took him to boarding school and that of when he returned two months later.

She wrote:

She noted that he has only been in the school for only two months.

Basalt:
Check out these points. Some people might not agree with all the points but that's my own controversial view about Deutschland.

1. If you are not the studious type, avoid any of the TU9 Universities.
RWTH Aachen
Tu Berlin
Tu Braunschweig
Tu Darmstadt
Tu Dresden
Leibniz University Hannover
KIT
TU Munich
University of Stuttgart
Also avoid the Universities in Bavaria like LMU etc.
Choose all these schools only and only if you are seriously passionate about education and ready to pass through rigorous academic processes to graduate.

2. If you are not very Sound in Mathematics, avoid any Engineering courses and Information Technology courses especially in Universität. Getting admission is one thing, graduating with a reasonable grade is another. It's easier to study those courses in university of Applied sciences which are more practically oriented and less head aching calculations.

3. Be ready to go for weeks if not months without sex. Because most white girls prefer white boys and most black girls prefer those that already have papers.
Most students masturbate to relieve themselves of sexual urge and focus more on their studies and ofcus nobody will agree they do.

4. Be ready to read instructions, be punctual and follow rules otherwise you will always be a victim of circumstances. No need to type more on this, you will understand better when you come.

5. Be ready to accept NO RESPONSE. In Nigeria, we all see it as an insult when people don't respond our messages. In Deutschland, don't expect all your messages to get a response. Here, no message is a message.

6. Be ready to cook. Unless you are from a very wealthy family, eating out will surely be expensive and you won't be able to eat what you want.

7. Be ready to live a quite lifestyle. If you are the noisy type that always shout like hyenas, Deutschland is not for you. You either learn how to shut your mouth or appear odd to others.

8. Be ready to do things the right way or face the consequences of your mistakes. In Nigeria we are used to ABEG, ABEG when we do things wrong.
Here in Deutschland, it does not work. They are emotionless and don't understand what I am sorry means.
Once a German tells you, I AM SORRY, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. My brother, save your stress and face the consequences. It's not racism, it's their lifestyle to be blunt and direct without emotions.

No. 3 abeg this number funny but it depends on the person, getting laid na time and socializing thing but student wey dey hustle and study no get that time

Your advice please,
Below is some of my challenges :

Tried blogging : not encouraging

Forex trading: uncertainty

Freelancing : Upwork approved me, but for long no project


Web Design : client


My skills : html, CSS, Bootstrap, jquery, js, php, python(intermediate) and digital marketing.

I welcome any advice that will improve my skills or a promising business idea.

Solve a problem or multiple problems by building websites/ applications.
I started my online income /website close to a decade ago , I identify, what Nigerians are looking for online, find it, give it them free and monetize the hell out of it with Adverts.

As we speak i am working on setting up multiple information blogs and guess what, I would monetize the hell out of it with Adverts.

There are tons of websites that Nigerians needs, which are unavailable and mind you, I have only beginner level of all the skills you mentioned above.

Why not adopt Europe and some other countries method of restricting travels from hot spot areas and allow flights to and from places with lower infection rate.

Do you have an European resident permit or US resident permit, there's a way to fly out.

Ja, I already sent an email to my insurance company. But the most recent payment I made is €12 for paracetamol and ambro....

Braket:

Thank you. I hardly buy drugs without prescriptions, but then I can spend as high as €40 buying just two packs of drugs. Have I been doing something wrong?

My brother, I don dey chop better nah to find gym register remain

That's a bit strange , please forward the receipt and doctor's prescriptions to your insurance and ask for refund cos you should be refunded.

[center] Integration[/center]
I have been in Germany for more than one year now. Even though I haven't been able to integrate 100% most probably because of language deficiency, I am certainly not at the level I used to be.

I have been a frequent Hospital and clinic goer recently. This is mostly due to the fact that I often need "Krankenschein i.e sick leave letter" and this has helped me though because I have to tell the doctor about some mild symptoms I have been ignoring and they sometimes turn out to be serious. Here in Germany, most direct contract jobs (I can't be too sure about job agents as those one are another case) will entitle you to 6 weeks of sick leave pay in a year unlike the US/Canada where I think it's less than a week.

Why do I have to call in sick even tho my contract is part-time? Well because sometimes because I'm sick, but mostly because as flexible as the job is, I tell them I'm not able to come on a certain day and then become inconsiderate and make it compulsory to come. Before I got to know about Krankenschein, I often times go despite the inconveniences or don't show up at all. Since I got to know about it, I'm able to not show up and still get paid in full like I worked those brutal hours .

Medication can be damn expensive here as compared to what I was used to in Nigeria, but now, I don't even have to convert again I just buy it and walk out.

I'm able to eat out now without having to beat myself up that I am wasting money. Except for Döner and buying food in school and at my workplace were they are quite subsidized, foods can be really expensive and still won't taste good . But I don't mind trying them as the highest amount I pay is €5.

I have been a frequent Afro/Asian/Arab/Turkish store goer as well. Buying in these stores can be very expensive, but they are somewhat the kinds of food ingredients one is used to in Nigeria that you find there. One tuber of Yam can cost as high as €10, 1KG of turkey €4 and the likes. But despite the costs, you get to eat what you like and you hardly do this except you have integrated well here and have stopped the #-€ conversion.

I m happy to see you making progress and as for the language part don't relent, just keep learning as much as you can and don't underestimate Children Radio programs, you can only speak, what you've heard before.
That buying of medicine part, if i am not mistaken, your health insurance should be footing the bill or you pay only 5euro maximum,if the doctor gives you a prescription paper,if not it's going to be really expensive.

I like the part you stop conversion to buy stuff, if not man no go chop.

For me, this COVID-19 period is still business as usual. I still go to work despite the lockdown because I work in a logistics settings. The only different and frustrating thing is online lecture.

Attending lectures physical is already a problem, not to talk of taking it online and still battling with motivation and everything. The lecturers were just piling up materials at a speed that's rather unusual.

The most intriguing thing that has happened to me recently was getting a new dream job sort of despite COVID-19 and 1 year+ of lager and "leider nicht" emails.

Congrats, no more schneller in Lager matter again.

Good day my people, am process my admission for msc in Saarland university in Saarbruken. how is the environment like?
What are the opportunities for student jobs with IT and tech skills?
Secondly I heard the major issue now is getting appointment date for interview is there a way to get appointment easily?

pls I welcome any comment.

Thanks.

Don't hurry to get an appointment and come, use that waiting time to learn German to B2 and improve your IT skills.

Victorex001:


I plan to come by August....wouldn’t be easy learning a skill before then...and also going for German classes. Phew

Soja dey learn to shoot gun in 3 months lol

bmarketing:

Yeah, I dig but the sponsorship letter to renew for 6k is quite expensive. Do you mean you get the sponsorship letter once for 6k ? I don't follow. My understanding is MSc is 2 yrs. If you use block account you have covered one year remaining one year

I never did sponsorship letter, block account, student working contract was sufficient to renew and get 2yrs stay, I started with Foundation school (Studienkolleg)

Honestly it all depends on who you met on the day of your permit renewal, some just ask you 3 months pay slip and that's all, nothing like 10k or bring sponsorship letter cos they know you must spend money to upkeep yourself as a student.

bmarketing:


You dey mind am. When block account is 10k

Block account 10k, sponsorship letter 6k,do the Maths, put that 6k in your account here in DE and you'll get a renewal minimum of 1year, I'm not talking of getting a visa from naija.

Odingo1:

You don’t know that with sponsorship letter you are free from the stress of providing another block account while in Germany for subsequent visa renewal. That is why the price of getting it is high.

When i do my renewal in the last few years presenting 25% of the total required amount and a work contract.
Let me laugh � again to you or anyone buying sponsorship letters for 6k to 10k

Odingo1:

They sell sponsorship letter, the price ranges from 6000€ to 10k euro. You have to buy one if you don’t have close person that will give it to you. Sponsorship letter is not something they give anyhow because if the person misbehave the sponsor can be arrested.

Why buy sponsorship letter for up to 10k? � Naija Sha

Victorex001:




Wow. Thanks for the info.

No I don’t have any skill, just finished my NYSC.

What about visa renewal? Would I be needing another 10k euros to renew the following next??

If you don't have one learn one, 2+2 =?
the second question about renewal has been answered on the thread already .

AjalaDtraveller:


Odingo1 I read your post your are right in many aspects but wrong in some areas: renewal of visa depends entirely on the rules in the particular place where you reside. Its not an east German thing. No! I know several cities in the south, in the north, west, when you renew they ask you to reblock money like the first time you applied for a visa. So depending on where you find yourself you might reblock another 10,000 euro plus. But there are some lenient places that will make do with checking the amount you earn from 3 recent payslips. Let's say, monthly you earn 450 and the required amount per month is 850 that means that you have to prove the balance of 400 multiplied by 12 months. So in total you prove funds of 4,800 in addition to your payslips. Now in some areas this balance must still be blocked. Others don't ask you to. Some areas don't care about your work, only funds. Germany is a varied country. What works in one place may not work in another place. I have seen so many instances
Also as a student if you present yourself at a company to do full time job they mostly would not risk employing you because your visa restricts you to 20hrs during school and full time holidays. So don't bank on full time job. Besides a couple of people have received warnings from foreigners office as per visa rules on working. You honestly do not want to be in thier bad books.
And those saying 250euros is enough for accommodation. I have been laughing. Any accommodation of 250 must be subsidised, bare minimum and mostly in a hostel. Or mostly a shared accommodation, with the discomfort of shared communal areas toilet, bathroom with other people. If you can't get into the list for hostels, In the private market a decent simple accommodation is far more expensive than that 250-350 euro you guys are quoting. Not talk of the monthly the bills that you need to pay for electricity, heating, water, and a lot more

valid info, especially that renewal part but guys when you reach no fear renewal, way must show

Victorex001:


I don’t have any alternative...but seems in Ireland students can work and take care of bill unlike Germany...but I hoped for Germany because of the free tuition.

Then they should stop deceiving ppl about study and school because this is clearly not working and schooling.
It’s outrageous.

So students can get part time jobs for €450 monthly?

false info
I study,work (4yrs plus)and don't get extra money from anyone from naija and got a lovely mum i support, all na preparation and the Key na German language profiency and God's favor, make sure you dey speak before you come, that work wey you dey find, you go get am and work tire sef.
Do you have any skill? painter,bricklayer,carpentary?? nevertheless, learn German for 7months -1yr before you come and thank me later,when you reach here cos you go need am for both manual and later your professonnal carrier.
cheers

If you ignore the bolded, no man go tell you cos work go dey pass you,

I have seen this warning about East Germany..I’ll try my best to avoid that area.

Can you give me a hint why everyone says East Germany to be avoided.

Is Magdeburg in East Germany??

just avoid it,simple, not everything we say or share online.
