Nigerdcritics:


Payments have been made

I pray it reflects so scholars can focus on their Studies.

What's the status of the list? Any news?

Get ready for Fresh applications, there is no more 2017 scholarship awards.

Quick question, did you make it to the interview stage? Or are a staff? ,.. you almost sound like you want it cancelled...
I am not here to know your source, after all sources have been failing since thy Kingdom come!

Themind:
Up to the next 10th generation we will still be counting the loot and damage Jonathan and Patience family did to Nigeria. He will be in the same book with Abacha and IBB

Some people are so daft it's painful to think we are from the same country. Read and comprehend before you spill nonsense.

Opakan2:
Jonathan na bastard I swear..

How are we even sure the fool is educated.
Upon all the things wey money fit do eg. Ogoni lands cleanup and more, all the impotent man could think of is theft of such magnitude.

Such a shame

Bros you no get sense leave am! Either you are comprehension deficient or your brain is on hols. The report says Jonathan commissioned the enquiry to trace stolen crude and without you reading you concluded he stole e it.

We are all just speaking English here on Nairaland.

Fine, to those of you who think you can sue NDDC please go ahead and sue them.

And to those of you soliciting co-operation to sign petitions, protest and all that please count some of us out. Not that we have given up but it is because we have found out the truth. This predicament we are going through now was compounded by some scholars.

So how do you all intend to defend your protest? What will be the theme of the so called protest? What will you say you are protesting about? When the body (NDDC) presenting the awards have come out with claims and allegations against some scholars. And to buttress my point further, these claims are very true. So who will the court acquit in this case? Scholars or NDDC?

Even if we send messages to all the direct numbers of top government officials, the blame will still come back to us because of the few bad eggs amongst us. What i'm i saying in essence, we are the ones who have given this opportunity to them to capitalize upon.

I have a problem with how your mind works,
With all due respect you either have someone in government or are just a plain sissy,
so even genuine scholars should suffer for something they have no knowledge of? If you were in their shoes will you be blabbing this way?
NDDC cannot dump the blame on these scholars, if there is fraud it is from within the agency! As far as we know they exist a budget and a stipulated number of awards, so coming to blame scholars for fraud perpetrated by its staff is wrong!
Your comments typifies a generation too cowardly to stand up and condemn what is wrong.

nelsont1:
Guys calm down please. These leaders owe you nothing. They're just doing you a favour. Stop whining here because at the end, all you do is just waste your data typing your headaches here. The Nigerian youths I know can only fight themselves, but are not ready to face our old politicians. So all of you must just shut up and enjoy what you get. If you don't have money to further your studies, please leave nddc alone.

How can compose this sort of thing?
These leaders owe you everything! Have you heard the words accountability and service?
Why were they voted into power? I blame the Youths that do not know how to fight for their rights,or demand accountability
no leader is doing me a favour by serving me, he should either serve properly or quit!
If they leave NDDC alone how will the system improve? If you change the system this incompetent leaders will fall in line and do what is right.
You cannot change a system by keeping shut, so my people talk, talk talk and keep talking, something must give!

You are just being realistic and I like that, the truth is always sore.... 6 MORE WEEKS TO GO THEN WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE IN FOR.

I have always believed that there is a solution to every problem,be it a political solution or spiritual, and desperate situations require desperate measures... It appears we have accepted that we can't do anything about the delay, ...if we can agree on a common course of action I'm sure we can get the MD/CEO to release the list and focus on running NDDC properly as against his main interest of playing politics in Akwa Ibom.

Cebu:
What if NDDC decides not to publish the list of 2017 beneficiaries, but decide to send sms/mails only to the beneficiaries?
I'm just thinking please...
So, in case anyone receives a "message of award" kindly share the information with the house.

Smart thinking, that may be done to prevent an uproar/Backlash..
But i think there should be some sort of law that mandates them to at least publish the names in Papers.

shophut:
And you really think someone will share that here...lol. Nobody will risk exposing his/her connection in NDDC

How does informing others that you got an email amount to exposing your connections?#selfishness #NigerianProblem.

dannysugar:


My Guy, forget the grammer. Go and register for skill acquisition thats the koko now o.
@ JAYDEBADESTBOY abeg give him the latest news....LOL.

Lol,na wa. Nigeria my country!

Can we therefore conclude that the list has been put in Abeyance, as there seem to be no information on when it may be released.

myrrtle:

thank you . There are like 2 vacant positions we know of in port Harcourt, but they are not for corpers.

Are the positions still open, I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering.


If you are aware of any open positions please pass it on. Blessings!

sethmelia002:


I am not, trust me its just that I will love to see what this Friday turns up to be. Now I realise that we as humans really dont like to face the truth...

You don't know what the truth is and I can affirm that whatever source you rely on is totally outdated..perhaps you give the source more credence than it deserves.

Also For whatever reason, You seem embittered by people's optimism. Dunno why it pains you so much.


By Friday things will surely be clearer.

Alicella:


He is not joking.

So when do we expect it in public domain?

Cebu:
The list has just been typed...

When is the expected release?....

Cebu:
The list has just been typed...

Lol this list has suffered! So all this while it was in ink Abi they used typewriter?

Dear 2017 prospective scholars, you need to speak up, you need to ramp up the pressure on the NDDC board,

You cannot allow the 2015 scholars pressurise the board into withholding the list.


Silence won't get the list released.

Ovywils:

She is simply saying 'they went through the back door(corruption) and now they are shouting corruption because they haven't been paid'

I got that, was trying to highlight something I noticed "the 2015 Scholars are against the release of the 2017 list until there are settled first, hence my comment about blowing out people's light.. my post wasn't an attack on Ms Alicella.

Alicella:
So i discovered 2 people who weren't invited 4 the 2015 interview got the scholarship. Now they are also fighting to be paid and talking about corruption. They are saying nobody should be awarded in 2017 till dey are paid LooooooooL. The heart of men desperately wicked.

Are you implying that the 2015 scholars are working against 2017?. .instead of praying that everybody should be carried along. *Blowing out another man's light won't make yours shine brighter*

As much as patience is a virtue and one needs divine patience when dealing with Nigerian agencies, I dare say silence cannot change the system. Previous sets have failed repeatedly in demanding accountability from NDDC because of this "let's be patient " mentality hence the Agency sees no reason to improve its abysmal service.

Social media remains a veritable tool that can be used in demanding for change. As much as 2017 scholars are trying to get NDDC to improve for their benefit, their actions will benefit future scholars and the region in the long run.

agongajoseph:
Am just passing an info dummy.

You had to insult someone huh? It appears you are praying for the 2017 list not to be released..my brother you cannot stop another man's shine. Quote me " you won't be paid until the 2017 list is released"...say whatever you want.

The MD keeps complaining of Scholars changing courses, Schools and some still being in Nigeria after being paid and how he wants to change that , yet his agency still goes ahead to delay the list beyond any possible early start date for students... someone tell the MD that you can't repeat the same things and expect a different results.

tensazangetsu20:
It's a steal at this price

Glorious1985:
Goodmorning, pls any vacancy in portharcourt?

SmartchoicesNG:

The ugly design... Badly imitated... And the needles curves.

That's all? Thought you had more to offer.

So here's the thing, even within similarities huge differences Exist, look at the light for example and the curves on the front grill.

Erm do you even know the reasons for so called curves?...
