@Manenuff, who told you that NDDC has produced better scholars than PTDF, i actually didn't want to comment again because i can see we aren't moving in one direction probably some individuals have benefited from this lapses. 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 Grundy

@ideelove u r on point.who has not faced a job interview would think he is the best in his field until he meets his better colleague.i still believe the interview was a show-off of transparency.like ptdf once you make the cut-off mark u are good to go although there is still corruption in the selection process but at least very intelligent pple are given a fair chance.well i am still waiting for the list to draw out my inference and next line of action because i want to secure the future of my unborn children.i have been brought up in the path of excellence and everything i have achieved today has been out of hard-work and excellence.lets not loose focus on our initial goal of exposing any corrupt act observed in the process.like i said earlier i am willing to assist in this good course from where-ever i am especially from my laptop via social media. trust me u might not know peoples strength yet until the ball is set rolling. well oga ideelove hope ur wife didnt capture u during nysc as i might be in your shoes now ooo.lol!!!! (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
