Na wa to all these claims and counter claims of aceess to superior information!!! I actually know of someone not on this forum who got an sms so something must be going on. If NDDC claims they sent no messages, how did an outsider get phone numbers (and e mails) of people who applied for the NDDC scholarship????? Can we please know from those who went to NDDC office today what the state of play is with this. Were the messages genuine? was it for MSc and PhD? will there be another batch?? Cheers, guys.
guys in PhD what's happening over there? We are still waiting for your response ooooo.
I believe they should have been saying something now, or probably their phones have been ordered to be switched off... It is a may be case.
Been so unhappy since yesterday, but I refuse to give up. The SMS thing does not sound like scam to me.
Am leaving 9ja dis weekend. The list was d only thing I was waiting for. I love u guys and it has been fun on this thread. God is always with us and sees all our heart desires. Strive to be the best at all times. One day ur time will come. Only Believe. God bless u all and God bless 9ja
Wetin man go do. Till now nobody done talk anything about wetin dey happen for PH. abi dem say make dem no tell us? nawa ooooo
The guys will av to get an acceptance letter signed which will av to be done by a judge, house of rep or a senator.
U can imagine d task as u might need to go back all d way to ur state of origin for u to get dat done or anywhere u can get one which will trust u and be ur guarantor.
So u c y, none of d scholars will av time to post anytin. This has to be done in 3days. I am talkin from experience of what happened last year.
Though there might be other reasons they av kept mute.
Not that one, a new form from d nddc headquarters.
I was der today, I receivd an sms which I posted for d house to see. We were told dt d names were going to to be published after we have submitted our acceptance letter, this will ensure that the names published are names of those who have accepted the offer. They said they took 200 in all. We were given d award letter and an acceptance form which d guarantor we used in d course of the application is to fill. We hav 3days to submit d form. The scholarship is wortg $30,000. I don't know anyone in NDDC, it was Baba God all d way and I am so grateful to him. We filled a form including school bank details etc but I think payments will be made after dey get d acceptance. They promised payment will begin ds week. Dtz all d info I have guys. Best wishes
@purple_blaze was it only those dat recieved d txt dat came &is there anyother way 2knw if ur name was on d list.and 4d people dat came d they look as if they were up to 200?
i was in nddc today even without the sms. Tueday nd thursday is there visiting days. So took d opportunity, made some enquiry and finally landed on the 4th floor and requested for delta state list. One man gladly gave me the delta/edo list, but i could'nt find my name.
Belive it, if u did'nt recieve the sms ur name is not on the list. But no harm in trying.
@ purple_blaze
Thank you very much this is the information that we have being waiting for. I have some very crucial questions. The 200 successful scholars is it inclusive of PhD scholars? Was any Phd candidate present? is it in batches as we have being hearing? What contact do you have for the nddc? Do we have to be physically present in Nigeria? for some of us we are already outside the country and are yet to receive any sms or mail.
Yes d 200 ppl included MSc and PhD from all the niger delta states. PhD candidates were present. To me d ppl der ddnt look like dey were up to 200 tho, I heard sm1 say ds is d merit list but I rili dnt knw and I can't confirm d validity of dt information. About you being present I also don't know but what I do knw is dt u need to sign ur acceptance form and ur guarantor also needs to do same. You also need to sign dt u collected d original award letter. I don't hav any contact person in NDDC, I js listened, queued, filled d form picked up my award letter and acceptance form and left d place.
...and lo it came to pass.Those of us who weren't contacted should please, pick up their pieces and forge ahead. You ain't gonna die because of NDDC. I earlier said that those who would get this offer had been penciled down by God; no matter how hard we prayed, what would be would be.
Please when NDDC starts that of next year, you guys shouldn't hesitate to publish the link on this wall. I'm still interested in their overseas postgraduate scholarship offer.
Peace out!:o
pls house, how can someone differ his/her admission?
Speak to the admission unit of your university.
Congratulations to all those that got the award whether through "runs" or divine intervention. The whole process to me, looks like a largely influenced balloting or lottery as the case may be. For those of us that didn't get the award even though we are well qualified and did very well in NDDC's supposed interview, it is not over. Let us look beyond NDDC and explore other means of funding. As for me, I will be sending a mail to defer my admission with Howard and Michigan Technological University today.
Also, I will like to apprise the house that NDDC board had been sacked yesterday. Read the details on The Sun News On-line |
No wonder!!! so they had to quickly do the jingbo and send coded text messages, so that their special candidates will quickly benefit from their yeye "runs". God knows what's best for each and everyone that wasn't contacted. We just have put this behind us and forge ahead for better things that are in line waiting for us. Well sha, thank you NDDC for the N10,000.
Sometimes I just think, Does it mean I can never profit from such programmes-PTDF, Exxonmobil, etc now NDDC with AGIP pending/outstanding...wheeew:confused:..
My heart bleeds but what more can we do than that which we have done...We all knew not all of us would make it...
First and foremost, let's even thank GOD that the scholarship was awarded before the dissolution of the board yesterday...
As for people like me whose hopes were very high and now it looks crushed,always remember some even applied and never got the chance to be interviewed........
Since you had the boldness to do it the first time, always know you can do it again; It is not over until Victory is sure......
Let's keep forging ahead...At least, I know that those who have been visiting this site for the past 24hours are mostly those who weren't successful....I think its high time we lay this issue to rest
Congratulations to Successful Scholars,....Always be grateful cos what you have in your hands, are prayer points for most of us but it has happened to you...We celebrate with you..Please do not abuse this opportunity...And when you're through, I think the best thing is to return and give this knowledge to our industry so we can grow and develop our country...The Future is the Youth...
Peace
I just joined this forum few days ago but 've been following this thread for a long time.. I know of a friend who did not get an sms but showed up yday and his name was on the list.. not trying to raise hopes or anythg but if you're in the PH area you could walk in and check or get someone to help you do that..
Better still, the mobile number that was used to send the congratulatory sms can also be provided. I have called the number that was used to send the invitation for the interview, the guy said he didn't handle this but he referred me to someone whose number is not going through. Guys abeg make una help una guys for here......
Guys I have a friend from Delta State who got the award but at the same time has a job offer with Schlumbeger. I advice here to forget the award and go for the job. The money she would make per month in Schlum (400k) per month is worth more than the award. So I wonder whose pocket the vacant space and $20k would go to?
@Purple_Blaze, could you please check if my name was shorlisted. My name is IFEDIORA CHIGOZIE OHANEJE (Imo state). Please give me a call or text message when you did. My number is 08032776010. Thanks.
Guys please help us out here oooo. Tomorrow is the last day for the submission of the form/letter. Abeg ooooo the number of a contact person in nddc phc.
Sorry house, I have been trying to get my guarantor to sign my form. Its being difficult since am already here in the UK. Here is the number that was used to send the congratulatory SMS +234 8059312835. Mine came in the early hours of Tuesday. And it was for PhD. Good luck all!
Please can someone post NDDC aadress in PH. I sent a friend to the address on their website (Olu Obasanjo Road GRA) but he said they have moved. Many thanks for your help.

To all who never got the NDDC scholarship, dont give up. Believe that God has a better thing ahead for you. Think of applying to schools in Canada and America for masters( research based), you might be lucky you get an admission with a scholarship. God is able to do the impossibility. I was once in your shoes, i took PTDF, Exxon Mobil, Elf scholarships, all did not work out but today i can testify that God actually had a better plan for me.
Praise the Lord...Congratulations to all scholars...i hope you all have been able to submit all the required documentation. Just want to find out if anyone knows how and when the funds will be disbursed?
.....And this thread (One of the hottest in recent times) finally fades away......I'm happy for those that were successful at the interview and wish them well. And to the others that were disappointed by NDDC better opportunities await you. Cheers everyone.
