NDDC Post Graduate Foreign Scholarship Program 2011

ALL

I just want to encorage people in the house that dont have Senators, House of Rep. , Governors etc as their father or Uncle. Please dont mind what peolle say, out of the 200 people that wiil be shortlisted 150 -170 will be based on merit. I was shortlisted last year for the interview, i never had any body but God. My name came out finally for the award ( now am in my school). i have losts of friends too that made it without this "God father thing". I must say that NDDC is the most well organised overseas scholarship that i have taken in Nigeria. You can see it from the amount of money they give people as transport money.

Just pray for Gods Favour. thats all

engineerharry where's ur LIKE button? Thank you so much!

engineerharry thanks o! for sharing ur own personal experience and giving us hope. U know, I really do wonder what the interviewers are actually looking for/at because of d very short nature of the interview highest 8mins per individual. I for one d minute I got in was asked to recite our national pledge, and after that I was asked for d name of my chosen school and course and also to pick a research topic on which I would carry out during d masters program, d methodology I would use, and how I would collate data. I must say, I said d little I knew and blabbed d rest. With all this said, I do know that If its God's will for me to do my masters degree then I will get dis nddc scholarship.

I culled this from last years thread oh!

@olumytee4real,

Regardless of the fact that qualified people like yourself were not invited to the interviews, does that give any politician or state nddc commissioner the right to flood the list with people from his LGA/senatorial district who were never even aware of the scholarships one week after the interviews?

And why would all the names come from one state's Senatorial district (out of 3); the most already developed, less populated and less academically active Senatorial district of a state for that matter...and is it a coincidence that all the names come from the same place as the state nddc commissioner?

What then would you say about the fact that only one phD candidate was in attendance at the interviews but in the published list the single name for a phd was not the name in attendance at the interviews...

The Human Rights commission (amongst other organisations) have demanded a copy of the petition because this is one of those simple and clear cases of fraud where the perpetrators would wish was never exposed because the facts and proofs are all there for everyone to see. As a matter of fact, the nddc should prove that the fraudulent names are more qualified than the candidates in attendance then we might as well drop the allegations and believe that they are better qualified to be sponsored over those 'less qualified' ones who were invited to the interviews.

It is high time we announced our entry into the scenes and corners of power without an introduction because no one will assume we are good enough to be considered without proving it.

This will send a direct message that the foolish generations have become wise and wish to have a say in whatever directly affects their lives and well-being because no one gives you power unless you take it or earn it. The time to raise those considered to be 'enemies of state' is NOW!!!

God bless us all!

Talk about free and fair......
*Scylla scoffs and walks away*

linsnow,

As i said earlier, it will only be by merit and Gods Favour. When my turn for the interview came last year, i was just ask some simple questions like:

Q.1 : tell us your name, your school and the course you are going to do
Q.2 : can we see your documents
Q3: is your L.G.A an oil producing place.

Finish.

Then my name came out.

So guys, dont worry. Just leave everything to God. He has a good plan for each of us.

engineerharry, thanks 4 also sharing ur experience. I pray favour shines on me as it dis for you too IJN Amen. I still believe in dis scheme.

I heard there are only 4 slots for Edo state, about 20 for delta and 12 for rivers. Please is anyone aware of this.

@debkayla, lolz! where on earth did u get ur info from

There are 9 slots for Ondo.Its possible.

From a worker at nddc . But even if there were only two , I sure will by Gods grace be one of the two . I claim in Jesus name .

Are u guys talking about slot for masters only or slots for ph.D?
...sorry am jus being curious.

I was thinking the total 200 slots will be shared by all states...am lost,pls some1 clearify us.

I thought someone said that they would double d intake of candidates this year?
Does anyone know when the final list of successful scholars would be released?

Last week as they said. The list of those successful wil be published next week and payments will start upper week.

Is the list going to be published on their website or newspaper? pls reply

Did they say how many numbers they would like to take this year? Someone said only 4 slots for masters in Edo state, I honestly find this ridiculous! Anyone with strong links should please confirm this for us, God help His Children!

Obviously states like Delta will take a large quota of the scholarship.From the previous shortlisted candidates, im sure you guys saw how some states had few candidates whjile others had a lot. Also certain local govts will be considered over others in some states.For example the ilaje local govt in ondo because thats where oil can be found (so i heard).
I also heard that the budget for this year has been doubled which means, if they sponsored a total of 200 last year, we should be considering 400 this year. Please don't expect the 400 to be shared evenly.Like i said, some states will get a larget quota.

The final shortlisted candidates list will come out first week in August as i heard. NDDC is not helping with your visa so i suggest, if you have faith or you know someone in NDDC that can confirm you will be shortlisted, start organizing visa application as they do not want anybody deferring their admission this time around.

Good luck guys.Only GOD can bless us.

Am sorry i meant next week and not last week. they said it will be published on the dailies and probably on their site.

@jobhunter, ure not correct concerning the number of persons to be shortlisted. The Director of Education and Health himself addressed us and said at of the 1500 persons that were invited, they will only be taking 200persons.

We should try and keep this thread going...show everybody will be informed so that we don't miss the release of the final list...all za best to y'all...

@ike4moni, the chairman who adressed us told us only that 200 was the number taken for last year. He said nothing of such concerning this year

Please somebody should confirm the slots for Edo state, pressure is mounting here o!

What's the latest update. Some1 plz inform the house

We are anxiously waiting 4 nxt week's release of d results. Between I heard d interview was just a mere formality, they just wanted to be sure dat u are d owner of ur credentials hence d very brief nature of d interview

Let's keep our fingers crossed till then,God keep us till then

As for Edo state there are 15 first class candidates and many second class upper candidates, the tussle is on as to merit and pple r trying to get in their candidates, it is tough as NDDC is instisting on those from oil producing lga's to be given the upper hand, may The Lord help us all, there is still hope.

Amen! I really need this!!

When ȋ̝̊̅§ the list coming out?

anytime from today.Lets be expectant

Fair enough! All the best mates!

Its Wednesday already! please those of us that have insiders in NDDC should please help us confirm when the list will come out. abeg!

dear harry,
i trust u are fine, thanks for responding to my earlier mail. please i want to know how nddc assisted with ur visa, did they apply on ur behalf? dis u summit ur passport to them... how did they help with the application? please help me with the other information u think will be useful.
kind regards
Francisca
