After living in germany for 20 years, the first time I visited Nigeria, I was in for a reverse culture shock 😂😂. I was seriously acting like a German and getting angry at the way things were going in Nigeria. It took me a whole week to re adjust to live as an African in Nigeria.
Wowwwww 🤣🤣 I can imagine. You would expect everything to be the same everywhere in the world 🤣🤣🤣 Nigeria is an extreme sport, you have to be crazy to survive in that place 🤣 I’m glad you adjusted quick though if not everyone would definitely notice that you are not from around there
Thanks so much for this. Rly helpful. But pls I need an exchange student. Currently learning the German Language and I need to practice with a native speaker.
Hi Sis, I doubt you would just find someone like that. You’ll need someone living close to you to be able to speak it frequently. Majority of people in Germany are quite busy and just sitting to speak might be difficult. How I learned it asides my German class was when I lived in a shared kitchen in my city, I Always engaged my neighbors who come to Cook. I hope that helps
I watched your video and it was so nice. please I really need advice..I am about to marry an European and I am a Nigerian please what documents can I get and will they grant me to cross over.please I really need an advice
Hi Thank you for watching 😀 This case is going to be quite challenging as you stated that you are not yet in Europe. The first thing is getting a Schengen visa for visiting/tourism, only then can you apply to get married in the residence of your partner or the city of your liking. They give 6 months visas and you’ll need to get married before your visa expires because they need your visa to be valid three months before the wedding. Before getting married, you have to reach out to the agency/office dealing with marriage in your preferred location only then will you know exactly what document they’ll need from you. Some places will need your messages from when you started dating, some will need pictures evidence, maybe screenshot of your calls or something similar. I’m saying this because we were asked to send evidence that we dated for a while and we are in this for love and not papers. So I don’t want to give a definite answer because I don’t know the exact place you want to get married at. But my two cents is get your Schengen visa first
Hi, In my experience and opinion, tech is in high demand for non deutsch speakers and they can also discriminate since you are not a speaker. So you must really know your tech before approaching them
Thank you!! I need to understand what your plans are Do you plan to go back? If yes, you won’t have any challenge. But if you intend to stay, there is too much at stake
I haven't even finished the video and I like you already. I like the way you talk😊 Subscribed! Please I need advice. I have a Bsc in Biology . I am in Nigeria and I want to go to an European country to study Public Health. Is Germany a good place to go or I wld have language issues there. Or UK is better. I also need a cheap school too.. like I am just confused on where to start
Yayyyyy I’m dancing here🤣🤣💃💃💃 Thank you for the compliment and for subscribing. Yes, there are courses and Universities that offer public health in Germany, you’ll just need to check them and see if you meet their requirements and if you have all the requirements at hand before you start applying. Germany is almost free as we all know, but the major thing is the blocked accounts, & the blocked account is almost 12,000€ now and another thing is Germany isn’t granting interviews for now except you are on scholarship. And about the language, you’ll need to learn it in the long run if you want to become a permanent resident. And if you are single, UK is also a good place to go if you have money with the one that they have casted families in the UK
Nice video But I want to ask if before one can apply, is it compulsory to know how to speak fluently before applying? And also can one work and school at the same time... I'm thinking of coming for my masters
Thank you for watching! No it’s not compulsory but it would be nice if you knew a little. The consular at the embassy might favor you if you know a little, it would show your seriousness about studying. 2. You definitely NEED to work and study, because how do you intend to fend for yourself during your stay after the blacked account is finished within a year. I’ll definitely advice you to go on with your application and I wish you Goodluck. If you have any questions, you could also reach out
Thank Ade for the information about Germany , I was looking forward if you could assist me get an admission to a public university I've tried it myself but I couldn't get one ,Thanks and I will be patiently waiting for a response.
@elyonvlog hi, I am just seeing this because you replied under someone’s post. Admission usually isn’t a problem………getting dates at the embassy, blocking your account and passing the interview is the main thing
Hello Onwao, The options I would recommend 1. is that if you intend to study, you’ll need to go out of Germany and apply as you can’t apply while in Germany, they are strict with that and you can also get lucky. 2. You’ll need move out of Germany and marry someone in another Schengen country. 3. Also you can Get married to a German in Germany too Tourist visa are mostly limited to what they can do
Hi, just checking your site out and I have gained a lot. My siblings applied to Leipzig university to study American Studies. We couldn't apply to another university due to money, we paid 75 euros for the first application through uni assist so applying to another was an issue. We are already preparing just incase they are picked, how do we open the block account, can we also get the health insurance from Germany, I also heard in one of your session where you talked about travel insurance, I didn't see that when researching. Also trying to get an apartment for them in Leipzig in quite hard. Please I need your advise. Thank you
Hello Adebola! Thank you for clicking and watching! I understand your reservations with uniassist. Why didn’t they try to apply to schools that don’t require any application fees for the same course? I like that you are preparing while waiting because everything can happen super fast as soon as they get the admission. Opening the blocked account is actually quite easy if you go through the steps. I might try to do a video about this soon. I did my insurance from Nigeria, I used LEADWAY ASSURANCE. I did the three months kind and got my full health insurance when I got to my city here in Germany. Apartment sourcing is also a lot of work because there is a competition from people that are applying too, I was abit stranded when I came too, try checking Facebook for the Leipzig community in Germany (e.g Nigerian students in Leipzig etc), join in and ask questions when you can until you are fully settled, loads of people get help through this means. Goodluck to your siblings ❤️
@@adeolaakinyemiju9792 we tried to apply to unis with free application fee but because we were using WAEC, we were referred to uni-assist Thank you for answering my questions
Hello 👋 pls I am a mom of two with a spouse.. I wish to study bsc in computer science or ICT in Germany but I don’t know how to go about it ... heard the institution’s tuition fees are free to an extent also hear primary and secondary Sch are free or affordable I don’t know how true that is...nevertheless I still don’t know what city to move to that has a Nigerian community that is also very affordable for me and my family... and the city university to consider too...then how possible for me to get admission
Hi, Yes you can study any course of choice. Tuition is almost free but you will have to put some money in your account also known as (blocked account). So firstly, check for schools online ( schools that don’t require application fees are available too), check their requirements, ensure you have all your documents available, apply, while doing this, ensure you have about 11,000 euros (that’s about 7 million Naira plus or so) available so that you don’t waste time as soon as you get your admission. When the admission letter is out, apply for your visa and await your visa interview date. And because you have kids, I guess you’ll need an extra 5k euros or so. Except you want to come alone first and the reality is when you come alone, it’s hard to bring your kids so I advise you apply for everyone at once if you have the money. Goodluck
All the cities have different affiliations with each other I was in a small city and we were closely knitted But people in the bigger cities have different cliques . So I’ll say it depends on the city you are in and how the people there are
Thank you so much Ade, i found your Chanel today and i quickly subscribed. I'm a Nigerian living in UAE and I'm making plans of relocating there next year but then i don't know how and where to start from. Also i have few concerns 1. I have about six years work experience which is totally different from my first degree. I have Bsc and i want to come there for masters in Public Health but then all my six years experience has been on sales and customer service, will this be a barrier for me in any way? 2. Would you advice i apply from UAE?
Thank you so much for subscribing 💃🙏 1. Your work experience sometimes doesn’t matter depending on the school 2. Are you a resident of UAE? Do you have their permit? If yes, then you can apply, if no, you’ll have to apply from Nigeria. 3. Check schools for their requirements, get your documents together and apply. Ensure you have the blocked account ready because the time you get your admit and when you get the visa interview date and travel is usually short. Then to crown it up, Germany isn’t giving visas for now, so I’ll suggest you try other EU countries like Norway, Poland and others Goodluck
Hi Adeola, can someone studying a Masters degree in Germany with a student visa convert it to a Work Visa/Opportunity Card if you find a job while still a student.
Hi Tobi, Yes and No. Depends on your city. Some cities are strict with you finishing your course, and some will give you your blue card so far you can show your job offer and that you have started working there.
Definitely They speak English in most cities, but the locals would definitely prefer to speak their local language and pretend they don’t understand and speak English
Hi Yes oo But it wasn’t like it was to my face but it happens from time to time. Like When you are walking on the road with them, they tend to clench their purses so that we blacks don’t steal from them. Or when walking too, they give you distance so you don’t stain their skin Or in transport systems, buses and trains, they don’t want to sit with you because you are black. So it’s Not like they hide this things to do o, you’ll see it in plain light, but it will also look like they are not doing anything since they are not touching you. Some have it worse where they are spat on, but dem no do am reach my side sha

What options are available for someone who comes to Germany with tourist visa and intends to stay permanently
Hello Onwao,

Hi.
I noticed you mentioned that Germany isn't giving visas four months ago. Are they giving visas now?
Hi!
Yes they stopped giving since 2020 except you are on scholarship or your school sends an email to the embassy that they really need you.
