Hi everyone, i'm a new person in the house. Heard about the thread from my fiance. Ehmm, please just a quick one. I got a mail for my medicals and considering the short time I have I need to know for those who reside in Lagos where I can get the medicals done and sent to CIC asap. I was told to go do it at IOM Ikeja that they are pretty fast in sending. please how true is this?

I'm sending this message from IOM Ikeja whr I just did my medicals.....they are very fast if not fastest just two days and ur result is with embassy unlike PH dat stipulated 5-10 working days in sending their own result.....so activate ur Ikeja mood asap!

krissein:


Wow! I must have gotten a wrong information but why not quickly so it instead of flying to lag. Processing time will likely be less than 10days specified.

I wil rada travel to Lagos tmrw Sunday so DAT on Monday I wil run de test and result wil get to CIC same week...dan de 10 working days story. thanks a lot for ur input.

krissein:


I know of someone that had medicals in PH, don't have address details but it was processed in 3 days.

If you use google, you can easily get a centre close to you in PH

thank you. but unfortunately PH has only one CIC approved center which is Prime Medical Consultants which I just called now to book,but they told me DAT my test result wil take 5-10 WORKING days to get to de embassy! which is highly inaceptable bicos embassy asked to ensure de result gets to dem in 14 days! frm yesterday oh

yemdogg:


Any approved medical test centre suffices.

As long as it is endorsed by CIC. I see no reason why you should travel to Lagos.

thanks. what of in terms of swift and promptness of de medical result getting to de embassy. all of dem have same pace?

yemdogg:


No problem just pm when you need my assistance.

Yemdogg plz i have just received my medical mail!!!.....I applied July 25th via paper route. I thank God. plz which medical center is faster? or they are all same. I am closer to PH which has an approved centre but I have not seen anybody here DAT did in PH,almost evrybdy did at IOM lagos .so shd I travel to Lagos and do it?

you are exactly my application mate! 25th July and got de same mail. are I for msc? if so plz lete knw once u get medical mail...or u did upfront?

CharlesOfForbes:

Exactly. I don't think i remember seeing anywhere that NDDC is responsible for scholar's upkeep (correct me of i am wrong). I have a friend who was a beneficiary of this scholarship years back and he had to take care of his accommodation and feeding. Not to sound insensitive or anything but the people complaining about not being paid allowance for upkeep should find a way and hustle. Students are entitled to work permit of 20 hrs a week, which should be enough to take care of one's accommodation and feeding. I think the fellow complaining is either waiting for a professional enough job or something(wakeup brother!!!), meanwhile hustlers are taking up retail jobs or even care job to survive. Like i said again, correct me of i am wrong. Good luck to the scholars

you are very correct bro. I tink de issue is dat some people are still not aware dat even in abroad, one has to still huzzle seriosly to make it,it is a universal truth. Do you agree dat he that complains over upkeep while studying ABROAD will still complain upkeep even after graduation and in labour market,because evn with the MSC over there, your "professional job is still not a guarantee" so why waiting to graduate before you channel your Nigerian given energy and strength to somthing doing? Weda day or night!!!

Dear CBN,
I write to inform you of my untold hardship in foreign land due to the inability of NDDC to pay our #NDDCScholars2015 allowances for 8 to 12 months now.
I personally resumed study in January 2016, while some other scholars resumed September 2015, but until now the commission has been unable to pay our upkeep allowances. This is majorly due to your (CBN) unstable and undue bureaucracy in making foreign payments, according to the commission mail.
Recently, precisely two weeks ago, the commission was able to complete the so-called complex and new process, and the payments are now domiciled with you (CBN). Why you have not made these payments is still a surprise.
How long will it take you to pay this money is still a mystery only known to you and your cabal or 'oga at the top'.
It may interest you to know how tough life has been to me (NDDCScholars2015) in foreign land. Maybe my situation will buttress the whole thing.
1. I was lucky initially to be given an accommodation on debt by my school for 23 weeks at £2232.73, hoping that I would pay within three weeks of my arrival in January 2016. In April, the school accommodation team issued me a threat of legal actions if I failed to pay up my debt within two weeks. It took the intervention of my course leader to prevent it.
2. The said accommodation contract expired July 3, 2016, without payment still and no where to pack to as no money to pay for a new accommodation. It took the quick intervention of my former course mate to pay £500 to the school before they agreed to extend my stay by two weeks, which expired on July 17, 2016. Where did I go from there?
3. It took the same mate to gift me #50,000 which yielded £100 due to your outrageous FOREX.
With this, I was able to plead with an agent to rent an apartment for two weeks from July 17, 2016, with the promise to pay the balance of £160 for administrative fee and deposit within a week. Just like many other unfulfilled promises I have made to others, this was not an exception.
4. It is exactly four weeks today Saturday, yet no solution at sight. On Thursday, I received a threat of legal actions if I refused to pay up an accumulated amount of £280 within 5 days. I still cannot see light at the end of the tunnel.
5. How I feed? Yes! I have been on one square meal since May 1, 2016 till date, borrowing money from my foreign and local course mates to survive. I now survive by sympathy from course mates. As I am typing this message, there is only £26 in my hand, nothing elsewhere.
6. All these while, NDDC has been promising that we would get our payment within two weeks since mid April till later May when it changed to soon. How soon it would be, is yet to be seen till now. All messages to NDDC MD were met with absolute silence.
7. In April, I got information that the #500,000 promised us for logistics was paid but I was not paid. When I asked, I was told that those paid submitted their local account details since last year, supposedly those that started September session, while mine is being processed to be paid soon. Yet nothing has come in.
8. As I was not from a wealthy family or political class family, to ensure that I utilized this opportunity to upgrade my academic potential for a better impact and future, I borrowed #1 million in two installments at 20% interest rate from a local money lender since banks refused me a student loan because of CBN policy. Since January till date, the said money has yielded 140% interest and is still counting. Out of this, I spent #500,000 for my Visa, medical insurance, TB test and flight ticket. The balance was able to sustain me till May, with my little savings of about #500,000 including friends cash gifts.
9. To add salt to injury, how could NDDC have paid our tuition fees since April without provision to pay our upkeep allowances together?

If CBN do not see reasons to expedite this payment domiciled with it after getting this message, I will have no option than to sue CBN and NDDC to the court of public opinion for judgement.

I am ready to provide every proof to buttress this message and claim at the appropriate time as I have nothing to protect again. I have been turned to a beggar in foreign land. I have lost focus of my study and developmental programs and targets, as such, the scheme is now almost worthless. I pray not to be deported, because I see another deadly NDA loading in me if the only valuable thing (my study) to me is dubiously denied me through these agencies. I have lost my job with which I catered for my siblings and single mum. I hope to finish my study (MSc) successfully, because anything on the contrary would be disastrous to me, Nigeria and the world in general as I am aware of the global village called the world. Not a threat but a real concern.
This is not a fabricated story as Nigerians are fond of believing lies than the truth (APC is a perfect example). This is my life story from the time I became NDDCSCHOLARS2015.
I do not expect your sympathy but your actions.

Thank you for acting swiftly to save my situation in particular.

#COPIED

dear it is quite unfortunate dat our govmnt now handles everythg in Nigeria with corruption and negative politics. but let me ask you why are u not working? because it is an obvious lifeline,or didn't want to include dat in ur story...work my dear and help ur sef.
