Nice

This is really cool

This is NOT fair!
Considering his level of maturity, there was no topic which Yudezo can participate in now! Nothing for those in Kindergarten !!!!!

When i was in secondary school i wrote the Nigerian Stock Exchange Essay competition http://scholarshubafrica.com/293/nigerian-stock-exchange-essay-competition-2011/ alongside other students in my school. That was the last we heard from them. They didn't come back to inform us anything about the aftermath of the competition. I really wanted to win, i ensured i wrote the essay myself and put in my very best just to come out successful. At the time i was suppose to submit the essay to my principal, my school was on strike which proved negative until a friend told me she had submitted hers at the organisations headquater. I went to their headquarter at sapele rd benin but they were telling me stories, they said my school principal had to sign first before it can be approved knowing fully well that public schools were on strike and there was no way i could get the signature. I was asked to come the next day which i did yet yielded no fruit cause i didn't get to meet the staff i met the previous day. I however gave myself a break and again went there for the umpteen time begging before they collected it from me. Weeks later the strike was called off; weeks turned into months yet no news from them. I was always googling the essay the know if the result had been released but to no avail. I even posted my email address on the link above so i could get first hand information from them. It was obvious that they had gotten a winner while my school and other public schools were boycotted. Except private schools. Or so i thought. I was sad not because i didn't win, but because of the undemocratic way and manner in which the essay was handled.

IMO, these people already know their winner even before the essay.

Sorry, I won one of their essay competition. No thanks to my crazy principle though. Never laid my hands on the compensation.

The Nigerian stock exchange essay competition is as real as reality itself...I use to have a very close friend of mine back in secondary school days who came first and was given a plaque and stock value of the cash price...I beg to disagree that not all competition are already scripted though some may be scripted but definitely not nse essay competition

i couldn't agree less with you. But my major concern was that we didn't get any feedback atleast to know our fate.

No! Although I attended a private school, but I don't know how that influenced my winning.

If you're a good writer, enter the competition, not trying is the crime, trying and not winning isn't.

Am currently awaiting the result of a national essay competition, I got to know about it, three days before deadline for entry submission, needless I say that, I did not write the essay to my satisfaction, but that doesn't mean it would not appeal to the judge.

So submit an entry and cross your fingers.

On behalf of all nairalanders, i present 'yuzedo' to represent all of u in the essay competition!

Me too. I wrote the nse essay, I was in SS2 then 2005. The topic was " why I want to be a stock broker " I wrote very well according to the specifications. Typed, double-spaced and in 14points times new Roman. My principal stamped my entry form. Then it could only be submitted by post. I took it to the post office affixed stamp duty and posted it. That was the end. No news of the result till date.

cupidora: Please can some1 tell me d equivalence of 1,500 to how many pages of fullscap sheets?

It depends on hw many words you write per horizontal line, get an average of hw many words you write per line and multiply it by the number of vertical lines available on the full scap sheet, that should lead you somewhere
