Anyhow prayer is the master key to open all doors
@Manenuff, I see u've adjudged exactly wat I tot d director ment wit dat statement, our case shuld be on names dat were never interviewed or examined. Not on d exam score. (I still stand to be corrected)
You guys are right though... Well can I be debriefed on the effect of yesterday's protest???????????Quote:

Again this has been my point. The list is to be published is the main the main thing that we need as evidence if there is any foul playQuote:

you guys are talking about publishing the list and that it should contain names of candidate that were shortlisted for the interview, do you ever ask if all that that were shortlisted for interview ever applied or wrote the test let alone to come for interview, criminals are very calculative, the dy/dx and permutation and combination of your points (main the main) today has been included in the variables. it is possible some candidate didnt applied and they were shortlisted for interview so is that not foul play, as matter of what ever be the output of the list, there is nothing anybody can do, In Nigeria nobody fights government and win, else the worst will happen - death, why crying over split milk, how many illgotten situations have been revealed in Nigeria, how many have received validation of mr free and fair justice?
however selected or not selected, " you were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win" Zig Ziglar
you sound as if you are defeated already. The worst thing to do in life is not to try at all and yes if we planned to win, prepared to win, then it is expected that we win abi?Quote:

even during d test so many ppl had access to d bank of questions b4 hand, I was an eyewitness. bcos how does a person score 50 or even close to 50 when u have 30min to answer 60Qs and most questions need a minute or more to comprehend at all. And now they act as if they r so more intelligent than every1 else.
We're not here 2write books o.Wen u defend ur cause people will write abt u even if u die trying.e.g Martin Luther King.'The essence of life is to seek a noble cause to die for'-Manenuff.
I think d delay in making d names public's nothing other than trying to 'reconcile' the already adulterated list.If not,what else? Like som1 sed lately: NDDC's keepin up with dis forum like we do their site.I believe that.So let's dig up more viable evidence.
Halleluyahhhh? God give us miracle like the days of G finney, J Wesley, lincoln,king jr, alexander Dowie, and like the day of JESUS CHRIST. and all names here saved and make the list including meeee oooo Amen
Guys, let's reason together seriously. This is a scholarship selection process, don't you think it should be different from job interview where you will be accessed how you would do your job in a working environment. The scholarship selection process should truely be academic.
PTDF knows this that is why if you pass their test, you are a scholar. There is no point stressing candidates to an interview where they asked inconsequential questions meanwhile the candidate is going for something academic. The only addition might be a basic test on your course like PTDF and that's it. They could still use negative marking and other academic selection process.
We all went to school and know that some students are good in theory than practical while others are going in written than speaking. So for one to conclude that in an academic process of selection it is better to choose a scholar because he impressed the interview panel because he was only asked his intended course of study is not right. What we are going for is 80% written and 20% spoken (dissertation, thesis and seminars).
They should have raised the cut off mark because it is not easy to answer 60 questions in 30 mins.(where you spend at least a min in some questions), you need both speed and accuracy.
They had already planned to hijack the process.
NDDC is not a cabal.It was instituted to manage development of the Niger Delta.The funds that are used for its operation does not belong to it but to us,the Niger Delta people who have suffered so much marginalization from the Nigerian Government and as such the commission is accountable to the people.Quote:

Our message is simple.Let justice be done.Publish the List.We may not be able to question the list because there are too many loop holes for the NDDC to justify its decision based on the 2nd interview.
However I am quite certain that there might be people who did not attend 1st or 2nd interview that were given the award?Otherwise,
why the low publicity?
Why did it take so long to release a final list of just 200?
Was a third interview conducted which we are not aware of?
One thing is for sure, we cannot continue to live like this.We cannot continue to be taken for granted and we will fight for our right.
Everyday,we are being denied opportunities that we deserve because of the greed of Leaders we elected.People who steal our money everyday and are not satisfied but want to make sure that even the smallest opportunity that is meant for the masses is diverted.
Any commissioner,governor,chairman or politician who got involved in the selection process has a case to answer.
If we act,these are the likely possibilities
(1)The List will be published and names of those who did not merit the award or attend the interview will be removed giving opportunity to those who deserve it.
(2)The NDDC will simply do nothing and the case is swept under the carpet.However,the commission would have dented its image and the public will always refer to its scholarship scheme as proof of its corrupt nature.
If we decide to do nothing
(1)Corruption will continue and our sons and daughters will suffer what we experience today because we decided to do nothing.Last year it happened and it has happened again.
Those who say 'let sleeping dogs lie" Let us not be selfish.We achieved independence because of some few people who fought for us and stood their grounds.We still celebrate them today.
The battle is for the brave.
@cacking & wiseguy~: you guys were always telling us the list will be uploaded tomorrow until someone first confirmed that she got her letter last week. Since you guys are so closed to the commission to have given us those updates, i believe you guys should be well informed by the commission so as to notify us when the list will be uploaded and why it has not been uploaded and only text sent. Please don't attack me o, I’m just a curious follower of events.
I knew they'll be trouble immediately the interview list came out (about 1200 of which only 200 are to be selected); translating to one-in-six success. No matter how transparent the process is, people would still be complaining. They should have pruned down the list to say 400. I know some politician would stoop low to request for their preferred candidate to be awarded. Take heart, their end will be sorrowful.
I’m doing my protest tomorrow not for them to change the list but for my voice to be heard; at least so that next year will be better.

I have had couple of friends who are beneficiaries of PTDF and they have always distinguished themselves in their respective fields and endeavors; the case of FRANSICA is one in a million, come to think of it that can't be use as yardstick for judgement. In my university days people in student union government weren't the best of students, a former NANS president late Moses Oisakede from EDO STATE UNIVERSITY now AAU spent more than 10yrs in school changing from one course to another. Why do you think that Schools in the United State would ask you to take GRE, GMAT & TOEFL for prospective postgraduate students sicking for admission? is to test for your Intelligent Quotients (IQ) and not Emotional Quotients (EQ) because the later which is synonymous to interviewing can be very subjective. Now, how would you relate this case, there is this man who has a very high intelligent quotients but unfortunately he stutters and another man who his intelligent quotients is very low but an orator, do you mean that the man with high intelligent quotients will be deprived because he has an impediment in talking fluently? My dear, anything academic should be purely base on academics which to a very large extent portray how sound you are and not interviewing that is very subjective and can be manipulated. Have been in an interview panel before?....don't worry one day you will be there and see how subjective it is.
Note i am not a prospective scholar though my wife is, but i read every thread concerning this NDDC scholarship saga and i want to see how it ends! Thank you.
Please what is the latest news? When is the list coming out now?
@Ideelove....nice logic. I think PTDF will produced better scholars, cos their financial benefits is far better than NDDC. I study better when I have much cash. Lol...
NDDC's story is going to end like that of Solomon GrundyQuote:

(on a lighter mode).i am an edo guy and i did my nysc in Akwa-ibom (Eket).Floreat!!!!!
Hey ppl....its been pretty quiet here oh plus there is no news of the list yet oh, hope Mr MD didn't just say its coming out today so the protest will end....anyways today hasn't ended yet sha so lets keep our fingers crossed
Have they contacted anyone else since monday?
Y are u guys attacking me?
Pls,i'm not d one causing d probs,but just looking from a neutral perspective.
@Ideelove,NDDC has already conducted its own (IQ) test like PTDF and determined that those who scored 26 and above have d acceptable IQ and are academically competent enough to go for the scholarship.However, they didn't stop there,but went ahead to conduct an interview.An interview isn't a bad idea either.From ur illustration,if a scholar with a supposedly 'low' IQ passes d test and goes ahead to become an orator at d interview panel,isn't he better than d person with a 'high' IQ but with a low and poor communicative ability?
Tell me. A truly educated man is one who can communicate? What if he's asked to lecture 9ja delta youths 2mwr,won't he still fumble and stutter?The problem with 9ja graduates is that we want to b d best academically,but unable to do d 'stuff'.Remember,we av 2b worthy in 'learning' and 'character'.
And who eva told u PTDF is better off?
Will PTDF b transparent enough to publish names and scores?
The corruption is everywhere.
The flaws we can identify dis year is incompetent hands in d interview panel,politicking,nepotism and so on.Apart from those,NDDC's method of selection is better than PTDF's.Moreover,we're nt here 2fight ourselves bt 2 fight d corruption identified.
There is no doubt a lot of our govt agencies r corrupt, but this year nddc said it will be transperent and a lot of us believed them, we need to show them that we know what they r doing n tell them we don't want such further on cos they r playing with pples future just for selfish reasons
Plz Plz Plz.... I knw there are some NDDC officials/spies hangin' over here. Actually i have wasted like 6mnt waitin'4 this course, negletin' everythin' that comes my way, and it's not good4 me. I'm beggin' the spies again to open up this thread and tel us what to expect, tel us they hav finish contactin pple, tel us they are makin plans to contact moe pple, tel us the list wil neva kom out again, tel us we are wastin our time here we shd js go on wit our lives, tel us what the MD and Management hav aggred concernin this, tel us the possible outcome. PLZ PLZ PLZ TEL US SMT N IT WIL BE GOOD4 US. I'm beggin u in the name of God. Thank yhu.
You are right my dear, waiting for this scholarship has affected my performance at work. I dont do any other thing than to refresh this page and nddc website. They should just tell us what's up so that we can continue with lives.Quote:
