Welcome To Nisig (nrw)

I joined this scholars group on the 1st of April 2017. I am very happy to join this association because of their laid out goals and objectives in helping individual scholars with the realisation of their dreams in a foreign country. This association has really helped me in securing an accommodation immediately I arrived Germany, assigning someone to pick me at the airport, taught me how to get connected with the trains and buses, just to mention a few. With all these kind gestures, I can say without an iota of doubt that joining this scholars group comes with no regret. There are lots of benefits to be got from this association and we still have a long way to go, so I implore that we be ready to support this association with our might and strength. God bless Nigerian scholars.

Much privileged i was to be invited to the monthly gathering(then in Duisburg) of NiSIGNRW my very first week in Germany, September 2015 to be precise. So you would say i had the perfect start. And YES! a privilege it was and still is to be a part of NiSIGNRW, being a part of a people who aren’t only academics but are at the same time a piece of mother- Nigeria, a piece of “Home”. NiSIGNRW provides amongst many: a platform for exchange/dispatch of Info/ ideas etc, Aids the incoming nigerian student find his feet here in Germany. We’re a very diverse people but in NiSIGNRW we’re family N/B: It isn’t always all study and work amongst us, the best place to have fun is… #you already know the answer# You as a prospective member stand to gain more than you would actually give to the association. NiSIGNRW is simply home away from home.

I found out about NISIG NRW through a friend. It’s a great group, I must say. Members have the long searched for chance to meet, exchange ideas and do cool things together, to contribute towards building Nigeria from and in the diaspora. I always look forward to meetings, it’s a refreshing moment to sit, stand, party, exchange ideas, rub minds intellectually and intelligently with scholars, with people who are young at heart and positively passionate about Nigeria. New members can be sure NISIG NRW is home away from home. Well, one is best advised not to imagine the troubles of settling in or finding one’s bearing etc etc, such troubles that await newcomers, when they come to a new country. Really, one would never understand what benefits one gets from being a member if one never had to go through the ordeal of being “thrown” into space without a guide or help. I say therefore, do not wait to need us before you join if you are in Germany or intend to study here. To you I say already in advance: Welcome home.

I joined NiSIG NRW about 3 years ago, and I must say it has been a wonderful fun-filled experience with lot(s) of benefits. Benefits to be got from the group range from business networking, information gathering, monthly chilling out in official and unofficial settings to personal assistance in various ways from members. Joining the association has no disadvantage, rather it comes with a whole lotta benefits as aforementioned.
