@wiseguy4reel, I will definitely do. But u too will receive the sms na...lol. Its just God's assurance that is keeping me calm, cos my heart beat is off the hook. God ohh, help ur children
If they are still to finalize on the list, one wonders how long they would then take to print and issue award letters cos without the letter, there is no other way to prove it to UKBA. And not everyone has a January option as some courses start only in September. So why cause students to lose out this year and defer till next year, when they would have actually been rounding up their Masters next year.
@Jaygal, nobody is calling you a liar (at least I am not), I will however only blieve it when someone else we know can corroborate your story. Credibility in this house is earned by how much value you add to the discussions on the thread. If you have been a silent follower as you said, dont blame people who dont believe you simply bcos they dont have sufficient info about you to make an informed decision. Time will prove you right if you are for real, so dont bother defending urself.
I wonder if monturi is right in proposing that you got special treatment becouse of who you know in NDDC, but if that were true, (and you dint see several others collecting the forms while you were there,) then I dont think you should've rubbed it in or shove it to our faces given the tension in the house (which you'ld know if you were following as you said). Your very first post is to show us how prefered you have been? (dont get me wrong I am not against using one's contacts beneficially, what I will never do is to show it off to others) . I congratulate you on your success, I just think you mite have been a bit inconsiderate to the feelings of others in the house the way you went about it. May I repeat the question someone else asked:which state are you from?
Abeg ignore this jaygirl of a person for she has raised so much unnecessary dust in da house. Time will prove her either right or wrong (though for good all the same).
Guys Keep Your Dreamz Alive!!!
Guyz, Abeg make una ignore this jaygirl of a person for she has raised so much unnecessary dust in da house. Time will prove her either right or wrong (though for good all the same).

Oh Nigerians of little faith!! I just read through the last two pages again and couldn't help but noticed how the "see you at the induction ceremony","my name is the list by faith" and "I'm practicing my victory (azonto et etighi) dance steps" talk disappeared abruptly. There are only two outcomes in situations like this and if you have prepared your mind that the decision could go either way, it would save you from any form of heartache.
Just to let the house know that a friend of mine also got thesame text message last week Thursday to come for his award letter.
If there is something I am very sure of its that people in this house will get invites.
Its no news that d successful candidates have been contacted. I strongly believe its true cos have heard so outside this forum. NDDC should have just uploaded d list irrespective of who made it or didn't make it. That been said, Friday I believe d list will be uploaded and some of our names (if not all) on this forum will be there. In a situation wia my name or yours aint dere, effect plan B. Life goes on with or without NDDC. God dey!
The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
All right guys.A lot has been said about this list.Here are the two NDDC helplines that were initially put up in the site.I have been trying to reach the lines.They can tell us the true situation of things.If you are able to get through to any of the lines,lets hear the outcome.Thanks.

I agree.But If the list is out and successful scholars have been contacted,then NDDC Staff should also be aware of it.
Just got thru to one of the nos.d lady was quite evasive butshe said successful candidates will be contacted.she wasnt help ful at all! God help us.
Anyway, my very close friend just confirmed receiving NDDC text message. So Jaygal is right. He received his on Friday and hasn't gone yet for the award letter. So guys, am sure more text will come tomorrow. However, its very unfair for NDDC not to upload the list after their professed transparency on the exercise.
This Issue has made me go lookin' for people that are connected to NDDC in my state. I finally got a number of an SA workin' with smbody that is representin' NDDC in my state. #AsaP#. The guy said he has never heard of any text message being sent out. I ponder why it's only new people here that are tellin' us they'v got txt message. So if sombody got a message he/she shd be bold enof to tell us how they are highly connectd to NDDC personnel and we won't voice it out as we al know we are in 9ja. It wld pay us well to reasn that they are first class(long leg) materials for this s'ship and we the 2nd class(prayer and supplication) will get ours from 2moro. #Don't use our heart to play ping ponk#. Js sayin'
My friend isn't related to NDDC at all. I even coached him on how he should go about NDDC interview. He said the sender used personal number. So that could have delayed everyone receiving at once since it wasn't bulked.
@phonline if it's personal number as u'v just said then u have a point there. At the same time dont 4get ur friend can be human crawler jst as wisey statd b4. Whatever, what i knw is that they will frm whr they stop till we all get our message.
Let God be true, and every man a liar.
So I went to NDDC office today! (I know its a public holiday) but I wasnt planning on seeing any ordinary staff, I went to see the most powerful man in NDDC, the GM! (Gate Man); afterall he is the one that supposedly allowed people in on showing a text msg. Its official, some people came on friday to collect award letters! @Phoneline you may be correct as to your observation on why its taking its time to get to our turn. @Jaygal now that we can authenticate your story from credible witnesses(:-P) whohave been active in this Strggle for The Emancipation of the Republic of NDDC Scholars, you have my unreserved apology. do visit this thread more often ok?@all, I am so happy that finally something is happening, this is great news, just charge ur fones and wait for the next text (hoping its not spam from mtn or glo sha :)
Lets hope for tomorow one thing I know is that persons in this forum must be among the successful ones. lets keep believing God!
Many are cold; few are frozen...
@ manu... Nice one! By God's grace we shall be among d CHOZEN!
It is in times like this that the real application of philosophy and logic comes in to play. After a little bit of thinking I have come up with 2 plausible route of decisions NDDC would have taken in order to notify candidates of their success in the 2012 Foreign scholarship.
The first route is an sms to every scholar and then they will be asked to pick up their sponsorship letter in a week's time at the induction. That way NDDC will have alot of time to generate everyone's letter. Having said this, it is important to point out that this method will only work if there is enough time before resumption for scholars to be around for any induction.
Where there isn't alot of time e.g the situation we have now where students are running out of time for visa and resumption, NDDC may decide to take a plan B which is SMS people as their letters become ready for their pick up.
Alot of people may wonder why not just sms all winners then you can take time to prepare their letter for pickup? To answer this question you must understand that if NDDC should sms all winners now, without their letters being ready for pick up, lots of scholars will choose to rather sleep in front of the gate and wait for their letter than go and come back. NDDC may have envisaged this possibility and in a bid to avoid creating a public menace have chosen to sms scholars only when their letters become ready for pick up.
If the latter is true we should expect more sms in circulation as more letters are generated for the respective scholars. This is only a product of my thinking and in no way represents what NDDC may be doing. All the same among all possibilities the fore mentioned points sound very plausible.
Good luck to everyone and God bless you all.
following d information I got, they are sending d sms alphabetically n they wil continue from 2moro till abt next week.surely, we would hv more people with d sms.Congratulations Loading...........
DOES anyone know if NDDC has a twitter handle?
@wiseguy4reel,d way ur name appeared on d interview list.
Omo, I don't think the sms will be sent alphabetically. Why I say this is because, some of us (Like me) whose name starts with "A", had our interview on the last day. So I think they are sending the sms according to the day we did the interview, although I could be wrong sha, but I know my name is there no shaking...
Anyone who knows for sure that his/her name is on the list won't come here to post comments. Coming here to say that, only shows fear and anxiety. We are here to get information about the scholarship not to measure our levels of faith.
