@ogogorobiko.Ur username has already given u away. D strong language u use shows u'r an illiterate who doesn't knw how to air his views without being abusive. Besides.dat post wasn't 4 u so u dn't hv any right insulting me. I'l rather take dat frm prince et al himself. So,get an education or scram frm dis column.

@ cutiesky, there is something called "freedom of religion" and "freedom of expression". You have NO right to complain about what Prince et al does. And if you choose to profess your own faith, no one has the right to stop you. It is a public forum. We are all from different backgrounds with different beliefs. Like Peaceofpeace said, let it end there. The thread was created for NDDC Scholarship updates and I don't think anyone professing his faith or belief in a deity as concerns the topic is wrong. Let the love and respect continue. If you are not comfortable with anything, simply ignore it.

@prince et al: I like ur msgs, dey r encouragin. Pls how sure are u about d breaking news? I mean d 69 names dat r yet 2 b published.

@House. Any news from port-harcourt. What does the scholarship entails, aw much is it and what is the mode of payment; tuition fees, accommodation and maintenance. Someone sld pls inform the house. How real/true is the remain 69 names to be released??

testimonies@prince et al...NDDC has made me know the value of a high court judge...but much more NDDC has made me acknowledge and reacknowledge the indispensability of the MOST HIGH GOD in my (our) life (lives)...as it is written...

...If it had not been the LORD who was on our (my) side, when men (challenges) rose up against us (me)...Psalms 124:2...

after signing for my (our) scholarship award letter(s), we were asked to get either a senator, house of rep member or high court judge to sign as a guarantor (vouch that we are of good conduct and would return to Nigeria after our studies)...

I got back to my state to look for a high court judge to sign mine...I met a brick wall...all the Judges I met said they could not sign because they didnt know me...this was after I had spent hours waiting for the judges to be through with the cases in their courts for the day...

...but the word of GOD cannot fail...as it is written...

The heart of a King (including Judges) is in the hands of GOD and like the rivers of water HE turneth it to any direction that HE wants...Proverbs 21:1...

at the end a Judge who initially refused to sign my acceptance letter cheerfully, happily and joyfully signed my letter...as it is written...This is the LORD'S doing and it is marvellous in our (my) eyes...Psalms 118:23...

reflections@prince et al...I entered a court for the first time in my life today...and I had cause to thank GOD...because as it is often said "different strokes for different folks"...I went to the court to sign my foreign postgraduate scholarship guarantors form (a thing of joy and pride) but I saw young (untapped) talents in handcuff's who were in the court for either arm robbery or murder (a thing of pain and shame)...I immediately started thanking GOD for my life oh...and remembered that...it is written...

I am what I am by the grace...1Corinthians 15:10...

@all scholars, as I talk to you now some people are still running around looking for a guarantor and if they dont get it signed before the dead line (NDDC gave a dead line to sign and return the acceptance letters) they will loose their scholarships...serious serious...NDDC is serious

@all scholars, candid advise...for those that know (by faith) that their names are on the new list please start networking now on how to get a guarantor oh oh....(by faith-Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen...Hebrews 11:1...

@jprince, the number on the new list now is shaky/fluid because those that cannot get their acceptance letters signed before the deadine wiil have their scholarships cancelled...serious serious...

@all scholars...

scholarship award scope covers tuition and living expences (accomodation inclusive)

MSC award: 30,000 dollars
PhD award: 30,000 dollars per year for 3years=90,000dollars

They gave room for awardees to change their schools to schools that have January start date...

i hope you find this helpful...

...With love...

...prince et al...

@prince et al and the house,
How do they intend making payments? Is it in installment? wld maintenance allowance be given to guys before they travel in January. Is there provision for those who were successful but who had already resumed in their respective schools. Pls let me know waz up. I am a scholar but already resumed in my school. So i really need this info cos have only paid part of my tuition fees. The substantila amount is due first week in december. All though my acceptance letter and guarantor forms have already been signed. Pls let me know. Cheers.

To those still beeping for the list of scholars, see the attachments below.

The LORD truly reigns forever...Exodus 15:18...

superbrain@all scholars...

NDDC wants to pay directly to the schools; for the MSc's one installment and for PhD's in three equal trenches yearly...

The maintenance allowance is subject to availability of funds, the balance after a total of your tuition and accomodation have been paid or deducted. They plan to divide it, into two equal halves and give us one half per semester.

If you have paid a deposit, your school can only make a refund after our spoil (money) hits their account. The normal process is for the school to return your deposit through the same channel (account) it was sent from Nigeria. If you have an outstanding payment soon just scan you scholarship award letter to you school.

I hope you find this helpful

Its obvious most scholars will have to augment these funds cos some schools' tuition will engulf the entire $30,000 (N4.5m).

What then happens if one's tuition eats up about N4m, do they expect that N500k will be enough for accommodation and maintenance for 15 months of one's studies and convoc?

They must have a way to balance it up.
