Not heard of any yet though.

Has any Abian been called yet?

@wiseguy, if the scholarship is awarded based on crude oil production of a state, then Nddc should have stated it from the onset instead of leading youths of along only to dash their hopes. Anyways, it is well

I may not be able to get to PH but am down with the proposed protest. I'll also suggest that if anyone has a link to any of the national dailies who have an established online presence, we could give them this report about Nddc for them to fly on their sites to create publicity. We must not sleep on this

@Dan, i could feel you, but you have to understand that the scholarship scheme is a kind of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) to help the Niger Deltans who are negatively impacted in the process of drilling crude oil. I have tranversed all through Niger Deltan state, i am from Edo, i have worked in PH, married from Akwa Ibom and presently i am in Delta State; i could see how a lot of people from oil producing area have suffered deprivation, hunger,ill health etc as a result drilling crude oil in their communities but suffix me to say that this could not be said about Edo where we do not have much oil and we could farm, fished and we don't suffer ill health as a result of the said impact. Base on this little analysis, it will be very unfair for government to sponsor more people in less impacted communities at the expense of the others who are greatly impacted. Our major occupation in Nigeria is farming, these communities do not have farm land where they coulld farm and send their folks to school. Please read NDDC mission and vision statement, that may help you to understand why they give more opportunities to people from Rivers state, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Delta etc than others. Well, this is my opinion and i stand to be corrected; meanwhile i am not a prospective scholar but just like what is happening here and it's very educative to say the least.

I think to act like donchucks and phoneline said is now....we can also make some moves to get to the MD.

@Ideelove, it not exactly as you thick. Edo is the 5th largest contributor of oil resources to Niger Delta. Edo comes before Abia, imo and ondo. Are you telling me those state should go with 5 award each or less.

No one is disputing the fact more slots to be given to rivers and other large contributors. But an interview that was widely circulated and given large media cover, no one expected that they would do less than what they did last year. How could one one slot be reserve for PhD? do u know hom many phd came? That is an insult.

If they don't have the money, they ought not to invite 1128 peoplr for interview who to make fool of them. Most PhDs I saw travelled down from uk and USA. This is never CSR. It is a ministry. There was budget allocatted to it. Don't allow them to use ur head. The president thinks, the ministry is meeting the satisfaction of Niger Deltans whereas the reverse is the case.

BTW, I know ur wife. She wore gown to the interview. she came for hers on the 18th. She told us that the interview was good for her. She was so full of praise for you. How are your 3 kids? You got a good beautiful woman. Do take care of her.

@Phoneline, i understand you.......if other states like Abia, Imo and Ondo are having more slots allocations than Edo state then our representatives need to be questioned including the immediate past NDDC interim MD whom hail from Edo. My children are very fine, also my wife. Thanks

Pple can use their social networks to write to journalist, n news agency to look into the issue, that candidates ® suspecting foulplay. I think that will be a way to push things forward
