Who offered to bring who back? Where did you hear that? It could work if the government offers to bring us back but how do you pay for the wasted years? Considering many of us left what we were doing back home for this?

Buhari is the most useless aboki that i know. he has no value for education.. no one should assume i am just talking, this same thing happened to my little sister, she is among those they abandoned despite being under federal gvt's schorlarship. this is unfair, it is our resources, we should be able to get empowerment from it. This is so wrong.

If you can become a President in Nigeria without WASC, what need do we have for PRESSID scholars?
Does the man on top know what is called "human capacity development"?

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.
This is not about PDP or APC, it is about being responsible.

My brother Op I can feel your pain, infact scholarship from the federal government of Nigeria is the biggest gamble you can ever take in your life. It would look sweet on paper but by the time you start the programme you would know Nigeria is a shithole. This is what I dreaded when I started, if not for God my lot would have been like yours. I took my destiny in my hands, I insisted my fees and allowances be paid. Infact I took my matter to Abuja, it was one of the most challenging experience ever. You can see from the response in this thread that Nairaland would not help you, infact I am sorry to say this you are on your own. Just pray and continue to fight for what is yours, God is always faithful. Please come back and give your testimony.

No offence oh! But you just spoke like a complete f**l, the presidency is it Jonathan's birthright? if he had ruled for eight years and the next president refuses to continue such an initiative, would you still blame jonathan?
some people can't just accept the inept ability of this administration to govern.

Padi Padi means what though? This kind of mindset is why the country is where it is today. The scholarship was pure merit and many of us are from humble backgrounds, you think if top politicians had their kids on this we would be coming to nairaland here. Menial job is not the problem but if you went to school abroad you would know menial jobs cannot pay your tuition fees, rent and still live decently except you are doing the menial jobs full time! Is it not stupid that we have to resign "white collar" and go be slaves in another country?

You do menial jobs to survive and do not even have any empathy, God help you.

Interesting that the comment above easily forgot one of the easyfix mantra whenever GEJ supporters shout PMB is only finishing what GEJ started. Scholarship like PRESSID are really one of the essence of govt in continuum. Nothing in the post says the beneficiaries fees were not paid until change in govt.
The problem really lies in the lack of any serious interest that the present govt has in tertiary institutions. How can you abandon your citizen who were on scholarship abroad? The commentary said that GEJ should be responsible. I partially agree... Since it was his initiative, in saner climes, ex-presidents have incredible lobby and leverage power but not in Nigeria.
The present govt should do the needful. If it cannot continue paying their fees, let them be brought home peacefully.
So please, it is 100% the responsibility of the present administration to pay that fee... The scholarship was by The Federal government of Nigeria not Federal govt of Jonathan.

Thanks for adding your voice to this. The current government is totally responsible for this. GEJ has played his part and this was one of his best achievements that Nigeria would celebrate in the near future. He cannot do much now that him and his party are out of power. There seems to be a conspiracy to abandon the scholars abroad because majority are southerners and that is very sad. It is also sad that a Professor as Vice President does not see how grievous this is for our human capacity development as a nation. If I say this has not made me give up on the current arrangement of the entity called Nigeria, I would be lying. I hope they hear our cries and do the needful.

God help Nigeria.

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.



U even dignify him with a reply.
