Hello everyone,

All is set for the announcement of winners for the 3rd edition of the Xfire Nairaland Undergraduate Scholarship Program after a very competitive and rigorous set of tests!

The 3rd edition is an improvement over earlier editions both in terms of the coordination and the cash prizes. Through the assistance of the co-sponsors namely smeag0l,, abike12 and other anonymous contributors, we were able to increase the total cash reward for this edition from of N187,500 to N512,500 for the top 30 students. Another sponsor, InvertedHammer has also pledged to reward the overall winner. God bless all sponsors. Your support is very much appreciated by everyone including the coordinators and all students that have participated in the competition.

I will also want to appreciate the outstanding coordinators led by Richiez and ably supported by Odunharry and dejt4u for the smooth coordination and oversight. The level of energy and passion they have put into this program is very amazing despite having full time work activities that keep them busy. The great effort they put in behind the scenes is indescribable. Kudos my ogas.

I will also like to thank Seun for creating the online platform to be able to achieve this, and also the super mod lalasticlala for ever pushing this to front page thus giving the program the publicity it deserves.

The 3rd edition all started with the thread for registration, of which 843 registrations were received. See link below:

707 candidates were eventually shortlisted for the competition. This is a significant increase over the number shortlisted in the previous edition (~473) Two stages of tests were conducted to determine the top 30. The first test was conducted on 23rd January, 2018 out of which 79 candidates scaled through to the next stage based on a pass mark of 55%. A 2nd test was conducted on 25th January 2018 to determine the top 30.

The winners were decided based on the cumulative of the first and second tests. When there are ties, the candidates that completed both tests in the shorted duration were picked. In a particular case, there was a tie and both candidates timed out on both tests. A short tie breaker was used to determine who came ahead of the other.

The top 30 students will be awarded as follows:

Winner: N190, 000 (excluding a pledge of an undisclosed amount by InvertedHammer)

1st Runner Up: N100, 000

2nd Runner Up: N65, 000

4th best: N30,000

5th best: N27, 500

6th to 15th best: N7, 000

16th to 20th best: N3,000

21st to 30th best: N1,000 airtime

Stay tuned and watch the countdown…

The truth is without you all, there will be No Xfire Annual Quiz competition. Everyone that participated is a winner irrespective of the position you came out with.

Hoping and working towards a bigger and better 4th Edition come next year...
Watch out for 4th Edition

Ready...any one with popcorn kindly share

Now to the 4th and 5th best student…………………
The 4th and 5th position was a very competitive one. This is because both candidates had the same average score and finished both tests within the same timeframe. A tie breaker (3rd test) was conducted exclusively for both of them to decide who would be ahead of the other.

The 4th position goes to a 400 level Medicine and Surgery student of UI, Ifelove1 (1st: 63.3%, 2nd: 81.7%, average score: 72.5%, tie breaker test: 80%).

The 5th position goes to a 100 level Vet Medicine student of UI, Nltaliban (1st: 70.0%, 2nd: 75.0%, average score: 72.5%, tie breaker test: 70%)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ifelove1 and Nltaliban have won cash prizes of N30,000 and N27,500 respectively. PM me please to get your cash.

Before I start the countdown, I will not forget the labour of all students that registered and participated in the competition. I am aware of the sacrifices some might have passed through to write the test(s). I acknowledge the hard work put in by all. I understand the anxiety I must say: whether or not you emerge as a top 30 student, you are a WINNER. There are no losers as this gives everyone of you an opportunity to learn and improve. It also gives you an insight on how competitive the corporate and business worlds are. That way, you can be better prepared. Kudos to all of you.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS.

I hope to see some of you next year (for those who are not yet in their finals).
