The winner of this year’s edition is a 400 level Biochemistry student of UNILAG. He is a technology enthusiast; he is always involved in tech related activities and he participates in tech related conferences/seminars from time to time. He loves wristwatches and was once involved in wristwatch retailing. He is also good at selling things. He has assisted family and friends in selling their phones and other products.

He participated in the previous edition of this competition and got to the final stage, but he did not win. He didn’t allow that to discourage him as he applied once again with the hope that he will win. He didn’t give up and it has paid off!

This should be an inspiration to every participant not to give up, whether or not you won something.

He scored 75.0% in the first stage and 80% in the second stage, with an average score of 77.5%

wow surprising!


Congrats to the winners.
Observation:Southwestern regions seem to be more informed about this competition.Don't worry FUTO is coming on board next time.

Congratulations ademilade. I was actually getting worried that there may be no engineering student in the top 5. I'm impressed that you're a mechanical engineering student and also run blogs. I also studied mechanical engineering and I write for some workplace magazines and I've also published some papers too

I just want to use this opportunity to thank Xfire, the other sponsors and also the coordinators of this entire exercise. Kudos to all the winners and participants as well. Looking forward to more of this!

Thanks xfire and congratulations to all the winners. We hope to have the next edition even more grande.

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:

https://www.nairaland.com/4951170/annual-xfire-nairaland-undergraduate-quiz

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.

https://www.nairaland.com/4970313/2019-xfire-nairaland-undergraduate-scholarship

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…

I'll thank the organizers of this competition ,I'm really overwhelmed... but I've a little complaint in as much as nothing much can be done about it now...
I registered for the competition and scored 55% in the stage 1 after which I immediately saw a message that I've been screened out of the competition due to failure to attain the 60% pass mark ,consequently I didn't attempt the stage 2 of the test thinking I'm already out of the competition only to come here and realize the cut off was later reduced to 55% ,at least the organizers should have found a way of communicating to the applicants in any case where the pass mark was changed since you guys have our contacts ,I just checked my email to see the stage 2 link was sent to me though,now I feel really bad anyway because I passed the 1st stage but couldn't continue to the next due to poor communication.
PS: I actually don't come online that much, though I check on nairaland everyday for news but not my mail.
maybe the organizers can still look into this. Thanks.

Congrats eWyse! Wow! This is no mean feat, considering the number and calibre of participants. Would have given you a good run but I graduated before many of the participants joined Nairaland.

Well done to all the participants.


God bless the organizers and sponsors for such a laudable initiative.

Thank you very much.

Ladies and Gentlemen, participants of 2019 Xfire Nairaland Quiz Competition (Scholarship), I'd like to thank you for being a part of this intensely competitive edition. It all started with 707 registered candidates. Now we have just 30 winners. Congratulations to all the winners. You truly are deserving of the awards.

Thanks, as well, to my very supportive coordinators: Odunharry and Dejt4u. With your support, we were able to achieve this great feat. I couldn't have asked for better team members. You guys are simply the best; multitalented, very resourceful and hardworking.

It is also with great pleasure that I say thank you to the chief sponsor, xfire, and to the co-sponsors smeag01, Abike12, and other anonymous sponsors. You are a blessing to mankind. You reaffirmed my belief that good people actually exists out there. Keep the fire burning!

If you would indulge me, I would also like to thank the education section moderators, Nairaland Super moderators, and Boss Seun, the owner of this platform 'Nairaland' for their efforts in helping to make this edition a huge success.

Finally, Let me conclude by specially congratulating the overall winner of the 3rd edition of the Xfire Nairaland Undergraduate Quiz Competition (Scholarship), eWyse. He's the true definition of a genius!.If you maintain this tempo, then this is just the beginning of greater things to come.

To every undergraduate on Nairaland, I say, let's do this again next year.

Cheers!

Nice

I'm grateful to the convener xfire and every gifted hand that contributed in any capacity to make this a fruitful exercise. The hurdles I had to cross to get this. It might seem small, but I do believe it only previews how much better the year can and will get. I celebrate my oga ewyse, you are a beast brother. I respect you sir. There's hope for Nigeria yet. I do hope to get to a level to sponsor this competition (especially for the marginally lower positions �).

(Please i am not so clear on how the PM works.)

Great job. However, I have an observation. Hope to explain my points during the day. Thanks.

As someone who likes playing with figures, I have observed a few calculation errors. Worst of all is that of the average score of greanya...(not sure if the spelling is correct) who was categorized among the airtime winning winners however the correct average score should have earned the fellow #3000 naira prize. The exact average score of 68.3%+66.7%= 67.5%. This person has been cheated with calculation error... I will pay this person his exact prize of #3000 while the airtime sent to the fellow will be a compensation for his trouble. May your blessing never elude you. The fellow can contact me if the organizers admit their error. Thanks

28th: greenya (1st: 68.3%, 2nd: 66.7%, average score: 65.0%)

1. Thank you for your observation
2. We did our best to ensure that no one is unfairly treated. The average was calculated with the real scores and not with percentages so as to avoid double approximation.

Let's me analyse that of greenya for you.

greenya
Test 1 = 38/60 = 63.3%
Test 2 = 40/60 = 66.7%
Total = 78/120 = 65.0%

This method above is what we used and I believe is the best way to do it. Remember how CGPA is computed in school. lol.

once again, thanks for your observation

It was a typo error. He actually had 63.3% not 68.3% in the first stage test. Not easy typing 60 different scores for all 30 candidates.

That doesn't stop you from blessing the dude with extra cash though.
