they preach transparency yet are agents of corruption.

I even know someone who score 40 and wasn't called and another scored 28 in the same LGA and same state and was given the scholarship. How on earth do you explain such an event in a program that was seemingly supposed to be transparent.

The mistake Chris Oboh made was to call for CBT, they should have done it the normal way they used to; in that way we wouldn't have raised any dust. I promise i shall take this list to the dailies once the final list is published. Enough is enough! Good work boy.

Thanks very much ID this help is really much appreciated..

That he scored higher in the test does not mean he performed better in the interview, and it does not mean he is more intelligent that someone that scored 28. I believe the award was based on the interview and not the test.

Thanks very much for this assistance sir we will really appreciate this bold commitment towards the fight for justice in a society filled almost everywhere with moreal decadence.

If it were interviews only then NDDC should have told everyone their interview performance because now that no one knows theirs except via the back door channels its hard to contend against it anywhere.

I understand your point, i wasn't called either. And i know how it feels not knowing whether you were ACTUALLY successful or not, or if your slot is being given to someone else who does not deserve it.

Right on point.Please go along with your personal cameras.We will need pictures and videos.Publicity is our main strategy.

Those that are in Port-Harcourt should identify with phoneline in this peaceful protest.

Am putting together an article on this and would like to include the outcome of today's protests.Cheers!

@ all, I've been a silent reader of this thread from the first day of NDDC interview. My hope of getting the award was very high 'cos I scored 48 in the aptitude test but this hope became dent after I appeared before the panel for the interview. Without writing too much,they said I've got a pseudo-admission (because it's a conditional one) and they passed an unpleasant comment on why I'm studying Oil and Gas Eng.(Msc) when I did chemical engineering in my undergraduates. This people did not allow me to defend myself before they told me 'you can go.'
My point is this. @ wiseguy.. In as much as I identify with the proposed peaceful protest, the issue of comparing someone from the same LGA who score 28 and got the award and another scoring higher and was not given the award is not a strong point to nip NDDC in the bud-. In this forum majority must have performed well in the interview and high in the test too but yet to get a call or a text- what if at the end they tell you that you score very low in the interview,I bet no one can beat NDDC in this area. I think the major thing here is to know whose name is not in the interview list and got the award. This is the strongest and clearest point with wish we can fight NDDC.

Speaking of interview, me personally was not asked any question apart from 'how do u pronounce ur surname'? "what did u study in your first degree"? "what was your grade"? "what school'? 'what course do u wanna study abroad"? "where are you from"?.....and when i answered all these, they stared at me for few seconds and asked me to go.....so guys, how do u think they'll judge based on just interview?....just wondering...
