It depends on your school. But most lecturers outside Nigeria are given assistant professor once they have a PhD. So get a Dr. at least.
Also, most of our professors are as you have narrated. But as a graduate student some are nicer than they look in school.
There was a professor in my department that you can't just go and meet during my school days. Someone however told me to meet him for reference. You will be surprised with the readiness he helped me write it. He would even call or text me to supply any info needed.
So u dont have anything to lose by contacting them. The worst that can happen is he would not respond and you might be surprised like me!

OK Thanks, the lecturers are DR(s). want to ask if there won't be any need going to Abuja for any stamp.

I appreciate the effort you put into narrating the process to applying for the scholarship. Most Nigerians wouldn't do same (I've had enough experiences which made me say such).

Kudos.

True that
many Nigerians are not patient
I have suggested some avenues
but the patients to follow through no dey for them

But here they seem to be more nice and less arrogant. The picture below is a Chinese guy that helped me with my luggage to my school. Dont mind me, I ought to take taxi from the airport directly to the school, instead took a bus. Why?

The Nigerian system and society created the condition that made them (well some of them) mean in the first place
So the blame falls squarely on us

It's not just the route but most Nigerians won't reveal to/tell another person how to scale through the process. So much reticence.

The relationship is somehow awkward.
Hong Kong is in China but it is an autonomous region. China does not interfere in their affair except in rare cases.
Hong Kong has it's own Visa though by the Chinese embassy but if you have a resident permit in China, u can use it to visit Hong Kong.

Any competitive GPA can apply. i.e. 2.1 and above. However I have seen successful applicants with 2.2.

So it all depends on you.
