No fewer than 30,000 Nigerians are currently
living in different parts of Germany, the new Consul-General of the
Federal Republic of Germany in Lagos, Mr Ingo Herbert has informed.
Herbert, Vanguard reports, made this disclosure in a chat with newsmen in Lagos on Monday, November 30, 2015, where he revealed that the people living there include: those working, doing businesses, studying, as well as those married to Germans.
He said: “Currently, the number of Nigerians across Germany is about 30,000. The number is increasing gradually.
“These Nigerians are working, studying, engaged in different businesses, as well as married to Germans.
“Nigerians are not really a big community in Germany when compared to countries like Turkey that has about 4 million nationals there.”
Speaking further, he said more Nigerians would be welcome to his country, adding that there was currently no form of racial discrimination against Nigerians in any part of Germany.
“I can assure Nigerians that they are still welcome to Germany, and are fully protected by the country’s functioning rule of law, policing and dependable judicial system,” Herbert added.
He explained also that Nigerians who want to live, study and do business in Germany should first learn the German language, while he also added that some universities in Germany are now offering courses in English Language.
Only last week, about 48 Nigerians were reportedly deported from the United Kingdom after initial reports had suggested that there were about 500 deportees.
