why should anyone believe that someone has gotten award letter even if d person is goodluck's son. d gist wud have made more sense if more people lay such claims in any event lets keep our fingers crossed, it was even worse last year ...
@emykom i guess d local scholarship has closed
@Have_mercy_now. I'm not trying to be pessimistic but I don't want to believe the week will be released this week till I see it list. NDDC or no NDDC we are forging ahead. Congratulations to those that will be awarded. For those that won't be shortlisted, it is not the end of life, God will provide better opportunities. Cheers guyz!Quote:

Let's not use this forum to judge the right of 'special' people to be included in the list. Rather let us just pray that God will do the best for us NDDC or no NDDC. We can always compare the list of those invited for interview with the final list. As Niccolo Machiavelli said..."The End Justifies The Means".
Exactly,the best way to test if justice has bin done is to compare d interview list with d final one,As for me,I have d list for Ondo State and I can pinpoint some absentees,however wish us all the best,
Also,wen exactly will dis list be released is it tmrw,next?? Dat questn remains unanswered. Peace to All.

I think they are the guys you may have come across. Personally i know of one who was my coursemate. I dont think that some person(s) have been given the award. Let's keep the Hope Alive....Our GOD will do it for us.Quote:

Again today, Punch Newspaper has it that Presidential committe set up to investigate activities of NDDC since 2007 has recommended the dissolution of its board over financial misdeeds. Look I jst feel dis is all nonsense. Maybe we shouldn't be hopeful about the rubish call scholarship. Very many pple that made the scholarship last year are still on ground waiting to have their payments confirmed by schools. Now several others are joining the line. Really it is very unfortunate + totally sad but then each time I remember that I am dealing with Nigeria I seem to be less disappointed. Let's give our attention to other meaningful ventures while we keep an eye on NDDC.
Great House! Lovely People!
Abeg I don tire 4 nddc and them wahala, I still dey wait sha o. @ ksesca I dnt think the local scholarship is over, guess it was a problem with their site which they have resolved cos the form's now opening but after filling and click on continue, it just remains on that same page. What could b the problem n sol. House?
NDDC... na wa oh!
e be like say nddc wan code d levels,dem go secretely snd mail/txt msg 2 pipole wey dem give d scholarship.it is na left 4 dose wen dem give 2 tel d hse say e don happen!
NDDC: FG panel demands removal of board, MD ?over illegal $80m transactions
The Presidential Committee on the Niger Delta Development Commission has recommended the dissolution of the NDDC board and the removal of its Managing Director, Mr. Chibuzor Ugwoha, and two executive directors over illegal $80m transactions.
The committee, in its report already submitted but yet to be made public, however, rejected calls for placing the NDDC under the supervision of the Ministry of the Niger Delta.
Our correspondent, who saw the report in Abuja on Tuesday, said it also recommended the overhauling of the commission.
The committee, headed by a former Head of Service of the Federation, Mr. Stephen Oronsaye, was set up by President Goodluck Jonathan on July 27, 2011, to look into the problems of the NDDC from 2007 to 2011.
The committee observed that the NDDC failed to perform the task of bringing development to the Niger Delta because of deep-rooted hatred among its members of staff and the management.
It also noted that the relationship between the managing director of the commission, and the board, headed by Air Vice Mashal Larry Koinyan, was not cordial.
The committee said it discovered that the MD opened a new account with First Bank of Nigeria Plc, United Kingdom, “without approval from the board.”
The MD, according to the committee, explained that his action was necessitated by “evident weakness in the Union Bank at the time and to avoid the loss of funds.”
The committee said the commission lost N1bn in the moribund Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria.
The committee also said the MD’s defence would not suffice as a reason to exonerate him, adding that he had enough time to get the approval of the board before the decision to open the controversial account.
The committee observed further that the MD ignored the disapproval of the board on the issue of the account and transferred $37m from the commission’s account in Union Bank, United Kingdom into the new account.
Also, an additional sum of $40m was transferred from the commission’s offshore account in Union Bank, UK to two commercial banks in Nigeria. It was also gathered that $20m each was deposited in UBA and UBN Nigeria in August 2009.
The committee also faulted the pattern for budgeting in the commission, which it said was flawed and could be exploited to violate standard procedure for contract award
What's our fate now? Is dis d end of our journey,I'm kinda confused here,wat's going on house,We need some clarifications here.... Oh NDDC,wat a shame...smh
Really shameful stuff happening. I knew 4rm the beginning that something fishy was going on. It's only god that can help us now. We put our hope and trust in him.
is this rock bottom?what's the implication of this?
Guys, i think nddc is sending secret text to ppl,some went to nddc on tues as requested by nddc in the text thy recieved
G.O.C are you serious about your statement? Do you know anyone who has received such text message? if actually it is real, i wont be surprised...
Hmmmmm, I comment my reserve! Una Good morning o!
My brothers and sisters, those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength, all we should do now is pray, cause after a few experience I had in this country, I began to hate my country, if u depend on mans / nddc report, u ll be dissappointed.
Is it a scholarship/ money or Nndc scholarship u want? If the first is the case just tell it to God, and at the rigth time, money will show up.
I encourage everyone to relax and pray not rely on NDDC.
Tat not withstanding,they r still pple doin interview..ma friend whose name wasn't on d list jst had his own interview 3days ago,same venue..infact he had to fly into ph from lag for dis reason..they'll surely bring out d list..tis jst d timing tat may b a problem..
What is this whole mess about now? Someone just doing his interview when all interviews have been concluded over six weeks ago. Does it mean that they didn't find any suitable candidate among those that were interviewed then and they're just interviewing new set of people or is it the normal man-know-man thing that happens in Nigeria? Or does it mean that they are conducting interviews for these new set of people to fulfill all righteousness, knowing that their names have been included in the final list and NDDC needs to have documentation for this in case of future probes? HMMMMM...... I rest my case
@emykom i read d same story in d punch, d source claimed anonymity so d story is likely to be true but we cant say its true cos it has not been made public however i think we should be optimistic. ideally even if they dissolve d board or sack d Md it shouldnt stall d already existing process for the current awardees cos money has be allocated or budgeted for dis. where did d 10k given to scholars for transport come from? i believe it was gotten from the budget for d scholarship, maybe, maybe not whatever it is lets remain positive! i believe we are still on course we just have to pray, hope and don't worry, dis will pass!Quote:

The real problem is not in getting your VISA, but the time it takes for NDDC pay your fees, confirm payment and then your school sending you the required documents to accompany your VISA application. That is where the problem is.Quote:
