Kindly send your message to President Atiku Abubakar and he will look into it ASAP as he did with the amputee super eagles.
Former president Buhari whose tenure ends 29th May, 2019, is busy drafting his hand over note as well as constituting his transition committee so he may not be able to attend to the plight of you people.
Thank you

This is so sad.
So Goodluck Jonathan did not consider these ones before he timidly threw in the throwel.

And some misfits dare refer to him as a hero of democracy.
Shame on you GEJ.

Other dimwits will now blame Buhari for this people's misfortune.
It is right of Buhari for not interceding. PRESSID was a GEJ initiative.

These stranded scholarship recipients should channel their complaints to GEJ who is morally obligated to ensure their total welfare.

Sadly, it is because of Buhari thinks along these extremely narrow and insular lines of yours— who started it, who does it benefit— that these Nigerian graduates, caught in between this unfortunate scuffle and incompetence have taken to the streets to beg.

However you want to twist it, note that this is not a GEJ scholarship. This is not a Buhari scholarship. It is a scholarship from the Presidency for youths of Nigerian origin.

Do you care about Nigerians at all?

The PRESSID scholarship were for the best amongst the bests. The 1sts among first classes. The types that many nations would long to have. Because of politics, religion and tribe, they have taken to the streets. They sent a letter to Osinbajo but, sadly, Osinbajo’s hands are tied in matters as this. The Presidency of Buhari and Kyari will only be moved to respond if (1) the names are from areas or religion they feel is right (2) if there is a sustained international cry and coverage.

I have a few friends under the PRESSID and I’ve told them to do what is expedient for their surviva. Send letters to institutions of other countries, to their embassies with their academic profile and research contents. Offer to partner with them and to change their research aim and objectives if need be. Offer to go there after graduation. Countries will willingly take you in— they are always looking for talents. A friend of mine under PRESSID has done this and a certain 1st world Asian country have taken over his sponsorship and offered him a place after graduation.

Nigeria as it currently is has no place or space for bright minds. It feeds on its bright youths— with mediocre youths as enablers, as purveyors.

But senators recieve their allowances steady. What is the essence of Npower when the govt can’t settle these scholars. Why do new govt find it hard to continue the initiatives of the previous especially when it’s an opposition.

Buhari is very wicked. He can't fund the tuition of these bright stars but can buy 55 million naira bike for jobless and lazy yusuf buhari to crash while his daughter is smuggled into NNPC as a member of the board.

You all better kick out that certificateless numbskull called dumbuhari and vote ATiku, a man who values education and even paid through his nose to own university.

Was this not the same scholarship program that made northern representatives in the NASS complain about lack of federal character? That there were lots of Igbos and Yorubas; CU, UNN, Unilag, UI etc. students on the list? That the previous Minister of Education, Wike, cheated the north?

Funny enough, it was reported that some of the scholars supported Buhari in 2015.

Nigeria's Rhodes-like scholarship gone like that. cry

This is serious! But truth be told this is singular reason why we can't but to talk about the mismanagement of the past administrations which got to it's nip during the initiator of this particular program that's Gej.

I want to see how PDP & thier supporters will still blame PMB for this one knowing fully well that you people have always hinged your criticism on the fact that PMB hasn't initiated any new program and that all He's been doing is just building on what Gej had initiated.

The real issue is that there's not been enough to channel in that direction. Gej admnstn emptied our treasury...

If you think you made an iota of sense, then you must be living in Lalaland. Why did Buhari's government stop the sponsorship? What logical reason can be given to do such? How about paying for the rest instead of allowing them turn to vagrants in someone's land?

Buhari's supporters are brainless folks! All of una!

Re: Nigerians On Jonathan Govt Scholarship Abandoned Abroad, Resort To Menial Jobs by akiOYIBO: 6:08pm On Nov 08, 2018
Goodluck Jonathan was pressured by Hausa Fulani sometime before 2014 election that the PRESSID should be abolished. They sighted their reason as failure of the initiative to comply with Federal Character since northerners could not make the list. In case you do not know, the PRESSID is an initiative whereby first class holders of all regions come together to prove their worth before being sent abroad for studies. Its a pity northerners could not make anything in Nigeria without the help of Federal Character. With Federal Character, Nigeria will continue to be a sh!thole, Nigeria will never know progress with Federal Character. It is a law designed to restrict and cage the succesful Southern Nigerians with the unsuccesful devilish Hausa Fulani northern Nigeria. In USA nobody cares if u are from Caliphornia or Washinton. Nobody asks you your local government or state of origin, nobody asks you for a referee, what they know is- you are American and you are entitled to anything. They are today the world power.
