Hello fellow nairalanders,

Please I applied online for the 2014 NDDC pg scholarship. I read history @ UNILAG, and gained admission to study International Relations @ coventry Uni in the UK. Is there any chance I can be selected for the scholarship?

Second, I feel I should be awarded the scholarship based on other considerations apart from academic merit. Our family, Yellowe family from Bakana, Kalabari, Rivers State, has always contributed immensely towards true development of the region.

Our progenitor, Chief India John Yellowe (1810-1900) can be described as a Niger Delta warrior of old. During the dark days of inter-tribal rivalry, he sucessfully established the Yellowe family or IYALLA POLO war Canoe house into a formidible military unit. He co-founded Bakana with Chief Will Braide. But he also established factories and other houses on an island in the Sombreiro river in Rivers State called Yellow Island named after him.
His son, and my great grandfather, Chief Gabriel Amakiri Yellowe, (1865-1939) was the first native from our area who served in the British colonial army. He was the Interpreter for the signing of the Port Harcourt agreement of 1913, which was entered into between British colonial authorities and the natives, which were of Ikwerre and okrika stock. It is on the basis of this that the British started building the old port harcourt, known as "Town" and oither areas such as Diobu, and of course, the old port.

His son, my grandfather Chief Nelson Gabriel Yellowe (1900-1983) was a seasoned first republic politician of repute. He was a house of Rep member between 1954-1959. He and others like Anthony Enahoro championed the independence call in the house. He co formed the C.O.R movement in the house that agitated for the creation of Calabar, Ogoja and Rivers states to be carved out of the old Eastern region. He also met with Abubakar Tafawa balewa, PM of Nigeria and set the modalities. Place for the establishment of Niger Delta Development Board in 1961 (after the Henry Willink Comission report on the plights of minorities.

My father, mr Daobu Nelson Gabriel Yellowe, 1940-till date, is a retired foreign service officer. He has worked at various nigerian emabasies and high commissions abroad. He entered some problems in south africa over a report he wrote about Saro-wiwa, and how Abacha was a tyrant. He was wanted by the Abacha gov. And as a result did not return to Nigeria until after abacha's demise.

I have tget this scholarship as I feel I deserve it tooo.

Dis one whr everybody don lock up, morale don drop. Am sure some are wishing if dy knew dy wud hv done something b4 now. Soon d handicaps will b enjoying their benefits coz dy didn't just plan buh executed d plan. If d handicaps cud do something irrespective of their physique, had d courage to pull themselves out to b recognised, how much we. C'mon guys we can do beta than this.

Why r p'ple always coming up with tales by moonlight stories whenever sum1 suggest we go public on dis issue, why is sum1 sumwhr always trying to push aside d idea, whose interest r u protecting and whose interest r u trying to jeopardise? We've been kept in d dark for too long and at least they owe some explanations as to why the scholarship is been delayed.
