NDDC has paid over 25 billion Naira to contractors between November 2016 to March because they corrupt MD and his cronies are the contractors, but won't pay scholars. If I hear Nsima Ekere for governor under APC in Akwa Ibom State. This MD has used scholars money to get more people in Akwa Ibom State decamping to APC

It is very difficult to concentrate on academia when you're struggling to eat, pay rent, in addition to being harassed constantly by the school authorities. Most of us have been forced to do the lowliest of jobs in order to get by, and this is affecting our studies significantly. How the NDDC is so insensitive to our plights is difficult to comprehend. Please we need these funds released yesterday. We're already stretched to our limits.

There Was A Country

I hear PTDF does the same even after selling million of scratch cards. Do we blame IBB or Buhari now. Hmmm, short of words.

walton1:
the Niger Delta leaders are the most wicked people we have on earth, they ride on their people back claiming marginalisation by the federal government, when they line their own pockets they castigate their people and milk them, the problems of the Niger Delta is the elites

I have tried to explain this point to ND youths over an over. Do we hear Lagos or some other states beneficiaries of stuffs as this complain.

Jiang:


Oga find a diner close to you & get work as a cleaner or dish washer. they pay per hour, just reach an agreement in which it wont affect ur studies. A friend of mine did dsame, & he makes twice the amount his old men sends him monthly

This is not what the thread is all about.

PTDF paid scholars who arrived October 2016 within 6 weeks after registration. They're not like NDDC

Fifthcolumnist:


Have u even bothered to ask if the funds were released by the Fed govt before blaming laying blame on NDDC?

Did you read the part where it was stated that 32 out of the 200 scholars were paid early April 2017 when this issue was first brought to the media? If the money wasn't released, how on earth did they get the money with which those 32 scholars were paid? I will leave you to your thought at this point. Shalom.

Pls pay NDDC Scholars thier money.

Hiccups:


What are you saying? When has NDDC scholarship become platform for a graduate to forcefully become a cleaner? Was the reason of going to study abroad to make money from cleaner job? It is this unnecessary mentality that makes our leaders get away with their corrupt act. How would what you just type benefit Niger Delta?

You people should just chill nah haba, i never said the goverment should not pay ur schoolarship, am under the impression as q grown adult you should not only depend on ur parent( government in dis case) to hand u money. if you guys are too big to do these jobs, then, ur free to keep waiting for the government while you.....

MK dem go hold buhari hin dey london

This is not a case of depending on anyone. It is about doing what ought to be done. NDDC gave them award letter, this was the basis which visa and study permit was granted to scholars, NDDC has to do what is right. Do you know $30k value of the scholarship is not enough for most schools in UK and some scholars use personal funds to make up? And you still want them to be cleaners just to show they're independent even when it affects their grade? Well just be informed NDDC scholarship was not meant to go abroad and demonstrate to Niger Delta that one is independent.

Do not blame anyone on this issue other than Nsima Ekere, He is the MD of NDDC, forget whatever they may try to say, no director can block payment if that Nsima Ekere is serious about paying

And they have open new application for scholarship ooooo... Nigeria

Olodo, didn't you read that they are doing menial jobs already. They clean toilets, dispose refuse to buy food and transportation to school. Olodo, let me ask you, how will they pay their fees, accommodation etc. You see, you are a confirm Olodo. Please read the post again.

This is very sad, as I remember vividly during the briefing, they hammered how important it was for us to travel immediately so we won't lose the scholarship or not be paid on time. I personally had to borrow from everybody I could telling them not to worry that NDDC promised to pay us before the first quarter of the year. I have literally worked my life out to pay these debts and some of them have yielded so much interest. Sometimes I work and work and have to stay up at night to study and do my course work so I will meet up.

This is just disheartening how some group of people will siphon this money and send us out to suffer. Till today I still havent completed payment of borrowed money, house rent still accumulates, school will soon get on my neck for their money.

NDDC please consider us as your children, and will you send your children out of the country without money. This is pure wickedness and will never go unpunished if not by man but definitely by God.

Please pay NDDC 2016 scholars. Stop this suffering and wickedness

This is total wickedness. Mind you, previous years scholars especially the recent 2015 scholars have not previous tuition and mobilization fee payments

Do you see the 2015 scholars struggle for thee "CHANGE MOVEMENT"?

Watch this

How I wish 2016 Scholars will match to embassy at UK now that Mr. President is around.

This is the same NDDC fighting for 3% but can't pay for Scholars tuition.

In less than one year, Nsima Ekere is simply the most corrupt NDDC MD without conscience. Akwa Ibom State will regret should this man have a shot at Governor's seat
