Kai.. Thank God it's all ova. Pls D̶̲̥̅̊ Forum shldnt die. Letts keep it alive. Congrats to those who made it. To others, better deals are coming

Nanaiky: good morning all,.....can anyone in the house applying for the commonwealth scholarship avail me the closing date for the nominating agency in Nigeria (federal scholarship board, Abuja? will appreciate a response plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UNN is November 7th. So FSB shld be around dat date too if not before. So just apply ASAP

logbon72: Hi all, while the press thing for pressid (pun intended) is a good idea. I think the right thing to do will be to first contact NUC for the status of the final list. After then it will make sense to go to the press. We shouldn't in too much desperation make these guys look bad or irresponsible. It's possible they are giving their best to this.

The NUC bulletins contain some phone numbers. We can start by all planning to call in on a planned date.

Sometime ago wen I tried D̶̲̥̅̊ lines, see as D̶̲̥̅̊ girl just hush me for phone. I begin wonder if na support line be dat abi na personal line. We don wait here tire for info na, none seems to Coming... So

Nice one siLense. Lemme make contact with someone I knw while awiting other pple's suggestion. Buh I suggest D̶̲̥̅̊ caption shld have NUC and PRESSID or something

Thanks for D̶̲̥̅̊ NITDA info. I actually wrote D̶̲̥̅̊ test dis year buh wasn't shortlisted. I knw someone who made it just left for france a few days back with his personal money cos of delay in payment. Ofcourse we'll apply, buh anything federal govt of Nigeria, let's also have a plan B ooo. To avoid frustration.
On PRESSID issues, can someone help us write up something?? Let's publish in D̶̲̥̅̊ papers. Dats why we're exceptional. We can't just keep quiet.

With deep sense of loss buh with total submission to the Politics of Nigeria, we regret to announce the Unavoidable Death of Team PRESSID. Funeral Rites will be announced soon....

Well in University of Nigeria, D̶̲̥̅̊ Policy is still being upheld somehow. I was absorbed immediately after service sha

Guys Guys Guys.. Pls I'm tired of laughing. Naija is dead period... So let's focus on next year. Commonwealth is out nd so are odas comin out small small. It's only a miracle dat'll deliver us

No buh seriously. Those of us stayin in ABJ could just go nd make enquiries. It's not a bad move all

@PhatIon u know U̶̲̥̅̊я talk alone na 3pages of this chat. Kai. Sure'll miss everyone... Said I wasn't goin to come here till next tomorrow...But... Anxiety no gree me.

pearlAdams: Hahahahahaha.lmao....immortal has bcom invisible, pls come bak tel us somtin na. BP de rise here o

From Immortal, to Invisible..... hei. SO Monday yaf passed just like dat. It's not fair oooooo

Immortal pls now talk to us as u seen to be a reliable mouth piece in dis matter abi u dey Prof Okojie office right now

[quote author=Immortal!]Nice comments so far!
Just got 2 know about this thread & itz really exciting 2 see like-minds getting along well.
I was fortunate 2b wit Prof. Okogie sometimes last week & he clearly stated dat d selection process was 30% 4rm SSCE result & 70% 4rm d apt test. D list submitted 2d presidency comprised 25% on merit list(as in, best 25 scores) & 75% based on quota system(2 best 4rm each state). I guess everything shud have been sorted out if not dat d Presidency rejected d list & sed no sentiments shud be used in d selection process. I must confess, dis has increased my admiration 4d president; standing by his words.
From d 1st list submitted, I was told about 60% were 4rm d South West & South South, even wit d quota system used. I can only imagine how many percentage would come from same region wit d President's stance.
Gudluck 2 all candidates sha![/quote]@Immortal: pls can u do us a favor?? Pls be oppurtuned to meet Okojie aain today. Tell him about this thread and about worried nigerians. Some schools in uk started today nd US schools don start already.pls let dem release D̶̲̥̅̊ list anyhow and release some pple from bondage. Abeg I take God beg u. We go pay U̶̲̥̅̊я flight ticket

It's Monday D̶̲̥̅̊ 3rd of September. Another day for constant checkin of www.nuc.edu.ng
May dis day mark D̶̲̥̅̊ end of our wait In Jesus Name ooo. AMI

Hahaahah. Abeg no kee me wif laugh here biko. Hahaa

Sayo14: Fellow compatriots! As much as I appreciate ur informative natures, I think we tend to be generating too much questions that are escalating our worries about the success of the scheme...rather, I`m of the opinion that we need to easen the tension that has accommodated our hearts at this point in time....For those who will eventually be selected , I`m pertinent that things will definitely sort themselves out when the time comes...Lets keep our fingers crossed...It will be well....

exactly. Cos no one from pressid is seeing all these our posts. All we could just do is pray D̶̲̥̅̊ waiting ends dis week. Wateva D̶̲̥̅̊ selected scholars are told to do.... We hear. Dats Naija for u. We shld keep prayin for D̶̲̥̅̊ country though

Guys, which eva criteria. There's no more time. Schools have resumed. MIT, california, etc. My friends goin there have all travelled. Wat is all dis rubbish in Nigeria. Mtshew. I weep. Seriously I weep.

Well the latest info I heard is dat GEJ kinda rejected D̶̲̥̅̊ list. Said he wants D̶̲̥̅̊ best 100 whether na from D̶̲̥̅̊ same state or not.... So our wait enlongated. Guys.....

whizkidy: what course did you apply for? Studied same course and applied for Msc nanotechnology

My dear it's not by course anymore for me. Cos it's obvious I can't meet up wit Edinburgh (signal processing nd Communication). Nothing. Nothing. Applied late to imperial. So....

PhatIon: I may be wrong, but I think you may be the lady I spoke with for sometime while waiting for the score SMS after the test, in front of the test venue who told me she scored 68 after receiving her score SMS. Although I didn't know her name & she didn't know mine, we only exchanged information related to PRESSID, I told her I was from lagos, my discipline, university etc. and she also told me hers, my priority that day was just PRESSID matters & not really much of socializing...lol... , but it may just be a coincidence that you have some similarities anyway. But my "educated guesses" are sometimes correct. Let me know if I'm lucky this time or not...lol...

Lol. well I remember I had a long talk wit a "long" guy from ife right??

Well, I'm from Anambra. D̶̲̥̅̊ most populated in South East scoring 68 oooo. Na God go hear my cry

PhatIon: @ijanarado: Nice piece of information,... This "kinda" confirmed my feeling that there may be something more to the delay of the list that we probably didn't know or understand... So, any other person who gets a reply from NUC or any other fresh piece of authentic information should please, endeavour to post it here in order to keep us updated. It'll be greatly appreciated. Well done Mr. Ijanarado, keep it up sir.

Miss ijanarado plsss. Lol
