I didn't know that was happening today.
Is there going to be a rebroadcast?

We are back on track!

I miss our reliable/unreliable sources!

What time?

Gov. Wike did that last week Thursday.

dannysugar:
This Senate move is beginning to yield positive result just as the Rivers State Govt has announced the release of $1m to cover for oustanding fees for her foreign scholars through RSSDA.
Every agency now wants to save face.

Abeg NDDC next oh, (i hope they have dignity)

Pls tell us about the senate thing.
Some of us didn't here about it. What day last week?

Chigo the Bishop, the ministry is moving.

Chigojude:
lol...Ovy our Evangelist..how ministry?

Really?
I didn't know it was debated there.

dannysugar:
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Now that this scholarship issue has been debated on the floor of the Nigerian Senate last week,it was encouraging to see both APC/PDP Senators condem the way the agencies (NDDC) have mis-managed scholars welfare to the embarrassment of the nation. The senate president also lamenting the welfare as being insufficient.
It will be interesting to hear his(MD) defense in his call-up for enquiries.
It musn't always result in these national embarrassments for things to be done properly.

I hope these payments will be done soonest so we can all forge ahead.

This is the day that the Lord has made

Yes you are.
Calm down first, 2017 batch hasn't been settled and they haven't advertised for 2018.

1stfamous:
Are we to first apply to schools before applying for NDDC scholarship?

BRAINNY:
There's always gonna be a ‘next week.' The drama continues.

Not always.... there is an end which is soon.
Maybe this week

Donmatlock:
Sir. We are not fools. Stop this eye-service. Even if there was a wrong doing should this numskull keep us in the dark? He has not communicated with candidates since May. Does he think that place is his father's house? The past NDDC MD/CEO has been the most successful and transparent. She published results immediately, did interviews immediately, paid transport fares promptly and selected the highest scoring candidates. I was proud of her despite that I narrowly didnt make because Imo had higher scores but didnt get more like Rivers and Delta.

So for a crook like Nsima to say bullshit, he must be a thief because he is looking for loopholes to steal. If he postpones this scholarship now, he will embezzle the money because he knows he won't be there before 2019 elections.

Shame on him! Shame on him and the Chairman!

Hmmm

xenaaa:
A couple of us walked through Nsima Ekeres office last week Wednesday to meet with him and tell him our shared predicament.

His response " oh that, We should conclude by next week. We have been really busy. I understand schools have resumed. Nothing to worry we should be able to tidy it up before end of next. I will have the board look into it"

On Friday same week, the board convened to compile the list.... I have no word on what was resolved.

Point here is. Tales of list coming through this week is NO speculation.

Plan is if we don't see it by Friday, we will reach out again for them to tell us why.

In the meantime guys and ladies attack and fight each other less.

Channel the energies usefully.

Thank you

viewingthistopic:
Wow, u always amaze me. u seem to have headache for pple hoping for an early release of the list(which is already late). Don't get irritated cos ur irritating pessimistic attitude to the list being released is becoming contageous. U hv dropped ur own info 4 some pple to believe also allow others to believe what they want. Anyways na NDDC dey bring this confusion.

Thank you

Cebu:
The list has just been typed...

Okay.
You gave a timeline for release of list in 2015 that happened. So I guess this info is also from your 'source'.
So many sources on this thread... hmm

sethmelia002:
You people will not hear word, the list has been put under suspension until the problems are resolved........na wa

Eh, we don't want to hear na.
Everyone with their own info and source... na wa.
List would be out when its time

Chigojude:
Another Friday approaches and no word from NDDC. fellow prospectives let's have Friday adoration prayers on top Nsima head, since we can't sign the petition.

Loool....

Knightcrawler1:
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*

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

Knightcrawler1:
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.

Lol

agongajoseph:
Am just passing an info dummy.

My friend, take your frustration somewhere else!
I am not the cause of your suffering & i don't see why you had to insult me.
You don't even know the context in which that statement was made.

agongajoseph:
2017 list won't b out until owed 2015 scholars are fully paid....I just got d info

Guess you're happy about that

Lol...
You guys should stop this.
Shophut, hope you know not everyone is on the whatsapp group? Close to 1000 people were interviewed- the group takes about 256.
Calm down, let the hurt go

No need for all these arguments oooh!
Ah... not everyone complaining here is on the whatsapp group and you can't blame anyone for joining - when that was the only place they could get info.
Calm down

Is NDDC MD in town or USA?
There was something on his twitter page about a speech in US

BRAINNY:
My dear, your points look credible. What's difficult in compiling names when scores from interviews and tests are there for everyone to see? Imagine if someone had borrowed money for TP to PH on the grounds of repayment after the interview. The embarrassment could have been monumental.

Please, someone should let those @NDDC know that the scholarship is meant to help the poor and common folks realize their dreams. It shouldn't be an avenue to settle their political cronies. The rich have enough money to send their kids abroad for crying out loud.

You could tweet at him

BRAINNY:
Last year's fare was paid at the venue; I was a beneficiary. Much as we may not like to admit, not all interviewees will benefit eventually. Therefore, the fare should be refunded ( I know NDDC will stand on its words). That isn't my major concern though.

I'm rather more concerned about September that's fast approaching. The most auspicious time for the list and the briefing is August. Most of our programs are due to commence in September. This is just hoping that they're conscious of that fact and the list gets released this week.

That said, I wish you guys the best as you await anxiously for the list of beneficiaries.

Thank you

adayola:
No time frame yet, but a confirmed source reveals that as from middle of the new week

Middle of August has been my confession to everyone.
I don't have any contact, just Faith in God!
