Goodluck Ebele Jonathan may not be perfect. But he is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria. Call me anywhere I can defend it.

I would chose a man whose approach to solving corruption is centred on building systems checks and balances that makes it harder for corruption to take place.

Than a man who thinks jailing corrupt people is the most efficient way of solving corruption.

2. If you send N100 recharge card to your girlfriend and she doesn't call you with at least N50, it implies she's using the credit to call other male admirers/suitors # God punish brokeness #

odun4love:
Do not conclude to that,is more complicated that's why I asked such question

aymost1:
so what if all the five had their admissions last year and are resuming this year?

aymost1:
I saw something about deferment of admission....isn't that a big risk since the scholarship is for just one person.....an also the programme should be done in may, admission into Nigerian universities isn't that predictable. because someone passes jamb doesn't mean he will make the post jamb....so if someone that got the scholarship misses admission that year,what will happen?

deflover:

FAQs

1)Can I apply if I’m already at university
The application is strictly for secondary school leavers and applicants that have lost admissions due to financial constraints

2)When is the deadline for the application
Deadline is the 31st of December 2014

3)Can I apply if I only have SSCE result
Applicants are expected to have all the necessary requirements to gain admission into any of the federal university

4)Can I apply if I already have an admission for this year’s academic year
Yes you can apply but you will have to defer your admission

5)Can the scheme be extended to polytechnic
We are only accepting applications from prospective university students at this time

6)What can the award be used for
The award can ONLY be used towards payment of tuition fee. The winner will be expected to meet yearly CPGA target so they can continue receiving the support

7)Would there be more funding
The funding is fixed at 500k

8 ) How will the winner be selected
Submitted essays will be marked against expected competency for secondary school leavers. The applicants in the top percentile group shall go through to the second stage.

SSCE/UME results and submitted financial hardship evidence will be used to decide the winner of the TNRI scholarship.

Please see below, illustration of how we hope to select the winner (The yet to be selected decision panel will decide on specifics but we don’t expect the methodology to be too different from this)

Evidence of financial hardship will be aggregated using the following banding
Combined Income less than N40K = 50 points
Combined Income between N40.1K – 60K = 40 points
Combined Income between N60.1K – 80K = 30 points
Combined Income between N80.1K – 100K = 20 points

The UME and SSCE would be aggregated along the line of:

UME > 250 = 25 points
UME between 241 – 250 = 20 points
UME between 231 – 240 = 15 points
UME between 221 – 230 = 10 points
UME between 201 – 220 = 5 points

SSCE (grades aggregated to a max of 25 points)

A = 10
B = 8
C = 6

If the applicant took 9 papers then his/her aggregated score will be (sum of grades equivalent)/max possible score e.g.

Applicant A takes 9 papers and received results as follows:
5A’s and 4 B’s
=(( 50 + 32)/90)*25
His/her total aggregate for SSCE would be 22.7

If applicant B takes 6 papers and received results as follows:
6A’s and 1B
= ((60+8 )/70)*25
His/her total aggregate for SSCE would be 24.28

The applicant with the highest aggregate score shall be the winner of 2014/15 TNRI scholarship
