Abeg i need am oo

dy should send mails ... but den u no nid am na

Those of us who already left the country and have no way of knowing if invites were sent to our Nigerian lines, any hope for us?

While i want to sympathise with those who have not been called, i cant ignore the overwhelming sense of entitlement a lot of the posters on this thread have exhibited. When dealing with conditional opportunities(scholarships, grants, visas, contracts, jobs offerings etc), it is important to note that from start to finish of the selection process, you are ENTIRELY at the discretion of the authorising entity (in this case NDDC). None of us paid any money to be shortlisted for the test. Regardless of your test scores, regardless of whatever distance you travelled to take the test, NDDC still reserves the right to select who it sees fit for its scholarship (as inhumane as that sounds). What can be deciphered from the process so far is NDDC has a criteria set for those its ready to invite for the interview, and with all the guessing going on, no one has been able to properly deduce what these criteria are. Reading the interview in the dailies a few days ago, the DD Education Health and Social Services painted a picture of the kind of candidates they were looking for (read Punch of May 19th). It's funny coming here and seeing candidates outside those disciplines moan about how they haven't been called for interviews despite their high scores, and cry foul of selection processes they have minimal clues about. From previous interview stories,people got chased out of interview rooms because their proposed course of study had "management" in it: do you really think with such experiences they'd keep calling candidates whose proposed courses they feel don't align with the objectives they (NDDC) set out to achieve in the first place? My brothers and sisters, i feel your pain, the hustle for higher learning is a tortuous and expensive one, but please let's apply logic where necessary. If you haven't been called, cling to faith in your God and explore other opportunities. Giving ourselves high BP over issues we have no control over will amount to nothing. We are entitled to nothing if we're being honest, this was an opportunity and not a right. If every indigene of the ND states decided to take the stance some of you have shown here, our dear country would be in flames and we'd all lose our collective identity. Wish you all the very best!
