Travel / Re: Nigerians - Leave The UK (United Kingdom) ALONE!!! by user147: 11:32am On Feb 24, 2018
Bro? Paint me a picture.

As an example : A Nigerian in Nigeria, will fly to Germany under what visa? ( Student visa?) And enrol for a free education in Germany? And all you need is €8700?

I know I can Google this, but it's better hearing from someone who's undergone the process.


Berliner1:


No condition attached.

From kindargarten to Ph.D level is absolutely free in German universities...except in private Univerities like SRH berlin and Jacob university in Bremen etc.

Also the state of baden wurttemburg introduce 1500 euro per semester last year.

All other univeristies are free and no condition is attached.

Hi Bro.

I'd like to believe there are conditions to qualify and getting that free education?

I don't want to believe it's an opportunity that is available to any immigrant who can just come into the country.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.


Berliner1:


All government universities in Germany are free.

Legally you have 18month to stay over after your studies...thats enough to get a job to stay here forever.

German government is immigrant friendly.we want skilled labour workforce.

Plenty student jobs from amazon(1300 euro monthly) to daimler Mercedes-Benz (2000euro).

Free education and semester ticket to make life comfortable.

I live and study here and visit uk.....very close to each other.

UK government is after your money...RUN

Business / Re: Innoson EFCC Arrest & The GTB Loan: "Innoson Stop Playing The Igbo Tribe Card" by user147: 8:32pm On Dec 20, 2017
Jk210:

1. Innoson approached the Bank for a reconciliation of his account and pleaded for a debt forgiveness. A reconciliation was carried out on the account – which had a debit balance of N1,654,481,895.04 as at December 31, 2011. In the spirit of amicable resolution and EFCC intervention, the Bank said it agreed to forego the sum of N559,374,072.09 which represented default charges that has accrued on the account and debited in line with the loan agreement between the customer and the Bank.

2. Based on this, the Bank decided to accept from the customer, the sum of N1,095,107,822.95 as full and final payment of the customer’s indebtedness to the Bank, provided that same shall be fully paid not later than (30) days from the date of the letter written to him

3. Surprisingly, Innoson commenced suit no:FHC/AWK/CS/2012 against the Bank at the Federal High Court, Awka stating the bank had debited its account with excess charges totalling N559,374,072.09 and obtained judgement in excess of N4.7Billion against the Bank. Again choosing to dishonour an agreement that was amicable reached between him and the Bank for a full and final settlement of N1,095,107,822.95 wherein the Bank graciously forgave him the sum of N559,374,072.09 which accrued on his account during the period which he abandoned his account.

Something I'm struggling to understand here.

How did the Federal High Court Akwa, grant him a judgement for N4.7billion, for a N559million default bank charges that you had already graciously forgiven him?
Also considering the fact that he still owes the bank over N1.095billion, according to your post.
It just doesn't quite make sense to me.

Also, if I'm to believe previous posts from the Innoson camp/supporters, you appealed against this judgement, but the judgement was upheld?
So this part of your story doesn't quite make sense to me, at the moment.

Education / Re: 19-Year-Old Nigerian Lady Graduates From UK University After Repeating Exams by user147: 9:31am On Dec 02, 2017
LOL.
You Nigerians make me laugh some times. Because we come from a society that is very slow to make progress, does not mean the rest of the world lives that way.

In the UK for example, new university students are generally 18 years on average, and graduate at age 21 on average. By age 30 they have accumulated a lot of professional experience and life experience in general.

Yes graduating at age 19 is a feat, but not an impossible news in developed countries like UK, US, etc.

So please calm down with the age disbelief you're having.

You repeated two years and you still graduated at 19,abeg you people should fear God o.

JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND

She resat an exam in first and second year, because she failed them in her first sitting. She did not repeat the year.

Brunel University will allow you to resit a maximum of two modules (I think) in a year if you fail them. If you fail more than two modules then you will need to repeat that year/level.

HOPE THIS HELPS

well I won't argue with u .u just said the basic fact and we all know that.
there re thousands of students in d UK and all of them can't be on scholarship.
some don't even have wealthy parents but one way or other they were able to do something and graduate.
we see them.we hear different stories of survivers and u must have seen or heard too.

Yeah, we all hear stories.
These stories are the exceptions, not the norm. So I won't judge the many unlucky ones going through hard times using the few lucky ones as a standard.

Personally I don't know any of the so-called lucky ones who just happen to work and hustle their way RIGHTLY throughout the hardship without some support from someone or somewhere.

The few people I know who supported themselves lived through hell. Either piling up a huge debt, getting suspended by the school, giving up by themselves, or getting into trouble with authorities while trying to hustle.

To make life easier, some students end up switching to a different visa category with no working restrictions, suspend school for a while and hustle. This is also not an easy route, it works for some but fail many others too.

bujebudanu1:
stranded how?
so they can't work with d bsc.MSC or do menial work for them to pass out

No they can't. They are on student visas with restriction on working hours.

No company operating legally will give them work beyond the restrictions of their visas.

Plus any reasonable graduate work will very likely require them to work fulltime, beyond the working hours permitted for their student visas.

Do a menial job with their restricted working hours? They will barely make enough money to feed, pay rent and pay their bills, let alone save over £10,000 for their tuition.

I hope I was able to paint a good enough picture for you?

Celebrities / Re: Olamide & Phyno Toronto Fans Destroy Properties After They Failed To Perform by user147: 12:51pm On Nov 25, 2017
JUST A FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Assuming it's true that some of you actually did destroy chairs, etc. You don't go and destroy private or public property because you're angry. Not in a civilized society like Canada where you can eventually get a refund by reporting to the right authority.
Phyno, Olamide and the concert promoters can end up having a bad record with the Canadian authorities as a result of no-refund for service they did not provide.

And in case you don't know, you can end up with a fine, and a jail time, and a criminal record, for mindlessly destroying other people's property because you're angry.

When you react to little things like this by acting out-of-mind and out-of-sense, you give yourselves (Nigerian immigrants) a bad reputation in Canada.

So please, to some of my follow Nigerians, think some times before you act, whether inside or outside of Nigeria.

JUST A FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
