FibbA: Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA) Scholarship is not exactly the same with other scholarship scheme. I think you should learn this if you already know everything.
spot on

optimusprime2: Hahahahahahahaha (Laughing in Turkish)
you must be a learner...
let me tell you how it works because I have relatives who were beneficiarie's of the F.G "Scholarshop".
Firstly, you apply to the school overseas and when you are given the admissions, you fill out forms at the ministry of education with your foreign admission letter and credentials to the available f.g scheme, usually the scholarship in given on merit.
now most people prefare Russia, Ukraine, Belarus et al because TOEFL's, GRE's, SAT's, IELTS, GMAT's and the rest of such standard exams are not prerequisites in gaining admissions there, now of course these exams are expensive to register and quite a handful too, so why wont people dodge it if they find a way it can be dodged? but they payoff because having such exam results increases ones options in oversea study as one stands a better chance of gaining admissions in Univ/colleges in advanced and stable countries eg USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, western EU etc...
Now if they had gained admission in an Australian uni basically if they were at Australia for Eg, who would have cared if the Govt did'nt pay scholarship stipends?? except a very lazy person anyway...

optimusprime2: So the federal govt chose the schools they applied to and gave them admissions there, right?
yes.

khattab008: It's quite unfortunate, but i thought BEA scholars are jointly sponsored by Nigeria and the host country, is it possible that those countries are also not fulfilling their part of the deal??



But no matter what, the Nigerian government ought to stand up for her citizens.
FT pls, Mods.
host countries take care of school fees, textbooks, in some cases accommodation, skills acquisition, security etc . Dumb Nigeria govt only takes care of feeding and travel tickets.

vikel2104: @mode.wap There is no government-run institution/program that is free from the 'oga at the top' influence. But there are people who got this scholarship on merit and they don't deserve to be treated this way. My former classmate who is very brilliant is on this scholarship in Russia and is facing this situation now. They should be given what is due to them. If the govt cannot maintain the programme, let them scrap it or let them tell everyone that it's only for children and relatives/friends of the rich and 'ogas at the top'
you are so so on point

Braggante: Please help me with the statistics. U sound like a non-mumu who knows. Did u see me mention those in foreign prisons awaiting deportation?
Oya give me those statistics o! Or else you learn the art of shutting up
u be 1st class mumu. smh
EducationRe: The Plight Of The Nigerian Overseas Federal Scholarship Students - Ikenna David by spiralwedge(m): 8:58am On Aug 09, 2014
modewap: My sympathy goes to those who get this scholarship on merit, i beg to differ with the OP, the scholarship body is filled with the oga at the top ish, most of the people awarded the scholarship knows or related to one oga at the top who helped them in getting the scholarship, FEW people only get it on merit.

The daughter of the woman incharge of the calling of successful applicant is on the scholarship to serbia, she is my facebook friend.

Another oga in charge of overseas awardee (MRS. ****) all/partially her facebook friends and relatives are on the scholarship. Loads of them(BEA staffs) are like that.

Last Bomb

The scholarship stipends are not paid by the government.



If they(government) have paid BEA, you guys would have gotten paid BECAUSE most of the BEA staffs have their child(s) on the scholarship and they can't hold on to the money/stipends


*more proof coming on that oga at top issue with photo attachment.
well, I know several who are on the scheme on merits. the few u know doesn't justify your assertion. Its normal in a country like ours that slots are reserved for staffs' children, even in religious settings. its pathetic.
And yes, despite having their wards on the scheme, the ogas at the top are lackadaisical in resolving anything, because the truth is that their wards are really not affected. If you read the op's post again, students from poor homes are the ones bearing the brunt.

Last Bomb
There is nothing like BEA staff, but Federal Scholarship Board (FSB) staff.

I'm sure d person in charge must ve used dat money to run a fixed deposite acct for 1yr,gets his interest,then b4 payin u guys.
Anyways..*in kanu's voice*..be detamin to neva give up.
absolutely on point. This is what they do. Remember the money is in dollars. the interest no be small money
EducationRe: The Plight Of The Nigerian Overseas Federal Scholarship Students - Ikenna David by spiralwedge(m): 8:40am On Aug 09, 2014
Braggante: Go to any police station, tell them you want to be deported home.
Or pack your bags, go to the immigration office and register your displeasure with the country. Remember to tell them youre a Nigerian. Im sure you will get a free ticket home.
Then come home, dust your cv and join us to vote out PDP next year.
Best of luck!
mumu, u think its that simple. I can help you with the statistics of Nigerians languishing in prisons abroad for absolutely nothing. Or check with Senator Abike Dabiri.
Countries listed by the op are extremely racist and crude. They don't easily deport. You may spend your prime years just awaiting deportation. Some died in the process. Or may be you need glasses to read all over again to see that UK, US, Canada, Australia etc were not mentioned.
