EducationRe: 71 Nigerian Students Leave For China, Russia On Scholarship by Davo93(op): 8:49am On Sep 20, 2013
dasparrow: China a delightful place to study? hmmm, I don't believe you. I feel for this students because Chinese is a difficult language to learn with all that scribble scrabble in the way they write. In short, let me not saying anything.

@Post

I feel sorry for these students especially the ones going to Russia. Russia is a terrible country to live in if you are black. It seems the average Nigerian thinks that the way we treat white people when they come to Nigeria is the way they treat us when we go to theirs. Russians believe black people are monkeys with tails yet that is the kind of society that the Nigerian government saw fit to send young Nigerian students to? Chai, my heart bleeds.

You know back in the day, my father was also a recipient of one of these government scholarships but in the 1970s, Nigerian students were sponsored by our government to study in ADVANCED nations such as UK, Germany, USA and the likes. Today, they are being sent to study in 2nd world/developing countries like Ukraine, Russia and the likes. The indigines of such countries are not used to black people and since racist whites think and act like savages, many will not hesitate to attack you due to the color of your skin. Anyways, when they get there, the Nigerian students will have to find out how hostile and hateful Russians are the hard way. After all, they say experience remains the best teacher.
Nigeria didn't just start sending students to Russia, it has been an existing program even as far back as the '70s when Russia was still under the then USSR. And also let me correct you on something here, Russia is neither a second world country nor a developing nation rather a developed one. If we are to list the top ten stable economy in the world, am sure Russia will be near if not part of it.

I agree with you on the fact that racism in Russia is just too much and disturbing. I have a lot of pals over there that when they tell me the hell they go through, i will like pity them especially the female ones. Nonetheless, racism is not only in Russia, its even there in Britain but the level differs. US & Canada seem to have a better atmosphere for the blacks.

71 Students Leave For China, Russia On Scholarship

EducationRe: 71 Nigerian Students Leave For China, Russia On Scholarship by Davo93(op):
Hmmmm... at last! Congratulations to those selected and i wish them a very successful stay over there in their respective countries of study. I hope they prove to the whole world once again that Nigerians are not dull people but only been limited by the non-working atmosphere.

By the way, i don't want to say this so as not to sound like a looser but i can't help it. Its quite unfortunate after spending about 50K on the application procedures and requirements for the 2013 BEA scholarship and several horrible experiences i had during the application period which i can't start narrating here, the ministry of education has made a lot of us that applied feel like something secretive goes on in selecting the lucky ones. Yes, we were told the selection will be done by the donor nations but i beg to disagree that it went that way. Imagine we wrote an exam around 27th March, no result was released, no response from Federal Scholarship Board even when you contact them, their website went down and surprisingly, we heard the Supervising minister seeing them off. I say, the selection process is just too cloudy! No fairness; No transparency whatsoever.

My Oga at the top thing has been the order. Truly, everyone cannot be picked but why is the selection process not plain and conspicuous tovus all? I am sure a lot of Nairalanders that applied have more to say on this. Things like this make one feel like we have got no hope again in Nigeria but all thesame, i see a better Nigeria in the nearest future. Its high time we washed our system away from corruption that has eaten deep. I bless God, i am doing very fine where i am today but what of those young sharps that were disappointed same way and no breakthrough to an institution yet? May God help us all.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!
Education71 Nigerian Students Leave For China, Russia On Scholarship by Davo93(op): 3:26pm On Sep 19, 2013
A total of 71 Nigerians are billed to travel to Russia and China to pursue undergraduate and post-graduate degrees under the 2013/2014 Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA).

Sixty-six of the scholars are to depart to Russia for undergraduate programmes while seven will head to China for post graduate courses. Speaking at the pre-departure briefing for the students in Abuja, Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, disclosed that other scholarship offers received for the current 2013/2014 academic session are as follow: Egypt 12, Algeria 13, Morocco 20, Serbia 2, Mexico 2 and Romania 5 while Turkey, Cuba, Ukraine, Greece, Tunisia and Macedonia are being awaited.

Wike said Nigeria on its part has also continued to reciprocate by offering scholarships to interested countries like China, Romania, Cuba and Sierra Leone. On the cost implication for the awards, he said tuition, accommodation and some stipend are to be provided by the donor countries while Nigeria provides supplementary allowance of $6,000 to augment feeding, local transportation, maintenance, equipment/books.

Others include: Warm clothing allowance of $250 per annum, health insurance of $200 per annum, take-off grant of $60 and $100 for undergraduate and post graduate scholars respectively.

EducationRe: Nigerian University That Deserves To Be Among World's Top 100 Universities? by Davo93(m): 2:47pm On Sep 19, 2013
turawafett: You are partially right base on the angle you look at it but no one has it all. Learning in Nigeria educational environment has its own advantage ooo, while schooling abroad has its own advantage too, It's very easier for a child who did his primary education and high school education in Nigeria to adapt to system of education in anypart of the world than for those who school abroad to adapt to our educational system.
Your right. Schooling in Nigeria is no problem but when we like say 'and forever', it scares! thats what am trying to indicate.

turawafett: No mind them, they rate Nigeria university low, yet our 2:2 graduate and third class graduate that went to UK and US. For their masters normally graduate with first class or upper credit. If we have d type of learning environment they have and the type of modern technology of teaching they have access to all student is Nigeria university will graduate with first class.

The major yard stick I think they use to rank university is learning environment, methodology of teaching and the numbers of student in a department, they do not admit more than 25 people per course.

I represent UNILAG now and forevermore Amen.
My dear sister, your future is brighter than you think... See beyond Nigeria.

See my guy, nobody is argueing with you whether OAU is placed number one or not Do you even know the criteria for the ranking you are talking about? More importantly, is it what we are taught by the so called highly 'learned' lecturers that makes our output the best we have in Nigeria or the MUCH extra job we do on our own?? Let me tell you here, i know the secret of OAU high ranking but i can't be disclosing that here. Have you even asked yourself before why the like of Auchi Polytechnic is ranked ahead a nice school like FUTA? Is Auchi Poly really better than FUTA? Obviously NO! There is an untold secret behind it.

Fellow GREATEST Ife student, we don't need to start washing our dirty linen in public. All of us are in OAU and we know whats up, except we keep deceiving ourselves.

SportsRe: Super Eagles Defenders Present Performance And World Cup Qualifier by Davo93(m):
Hmmm... i hate sounding the way i'm gonna sound now but its just the way i feel about the SE issue. Keshi needs to work more on what he has made most of us believe about him, the ethnic-sensitive behaviour he puts up. I still find it very difficult to believe some players have not been given a chance perhaps due to Keshi's love for a tribe. If we don't see Super Eagles as a National team, there will be problem in the future.

I also cannot fathom why the likes of Dele Olorundara, Haruna Babalo, Gbolahan Salami ,the NPL highest goal scorers has not been given a chance in the SE team. I'm sorry from digressing from the topic a bit. #teamNationalist
