Everyone should read this and take it seriously.Dis Turkish scholarship came out last year and I applied and I was called for interview at d Turkish embassy in Maitama Abuja.Many people were also called for interview,probably u to 50 ug or more dan cos we were given different interview dates.Mine was d 17th of July.After all I did,all my suffering and hard work,travellin frm Lagos 2 Abuja all d money I spent was wasted cos dey sent me an email tellin me dat I had boin rejected.I cried and den wen I called almost all d people I made friends with at d embassy,they told me dey also got rejection mails.Turkey dint admit any ug from Naija.It was just one muslim post graduate guy dey admitted from Nigeria.Yet wen I checked dier facebook page dey admitted many people from all dose muslim countries.It hurt so much dat nobody even wants to know anything about dier form.Dose of u dat want 2 apply.Goodluck 2 u but I promise u dat u'll regret wastin ur tym and moni.Moreover,d fsb has notin 2 do wit d Turkish scholarship.Turkey is still among the bilateral agreement but dey sdmit ug anymore,just pg.Dats y in ur venues u were told 2 change it.The ug scholarship offered by Turkey is comin frmom dier own govt and it has notin 2 do wit Naija.I've spoken.

Nigerian award is an internal (we-we) thing. BEA as the name implies is bi-lateral meaning two sides are involved. I believe Nigeria thru FSB has done her part now left for awarding countries to pick their scholars. I expect Russia-bound scholars to get called around July. This is my personal opinion based on experience. Good luck!!!

gerian Federal Scholarship Students in Russia... Delayance in payment By Suleiman E O
advertisement


This should have been a letter to the federal ministry of education but on a second thought we decided to address it to the Federal government of Nigeria which basically might mean to all Nigerians.

Right from the time of the defunct USSR, Nigeria has a bilateral education agreement with Russian Federation which we believe every concern Nigerian is aware of, after the collapse of the Soviet Union; Russia still maintains this educational agreement with Nigeria. Every year, the federal government of Nigeria sends out to Russia over 50 young promising Nigerians for studies. These young Nigerians come here with the hope of getting the required Education and later returning to Nigeria to make a better impact. Since this was a bilateral agreement, the Russian side takes care of the students’ basic academic needs, which include: allocation to the proper university for a language course and then later to the main course of studies, monthly allowance of about 40USD and The Nigerian Government is suppose taken care of all other needs of the students.

Presently here in Russian Federation, there are over 250 Nigerian federal scholarship students studying in various Russian universities, the Russian government has been fulfilling their own part of the educational agreement but the Nigerian government ‘as always been found wanting with the issue of delayance in payments; and in situations where the payment is made is always not in full. The governments of other countries send their students to Russia by September of every year which is the beginning of the Russian academic year, but with Nigeria the case is opposite, even the Russian ministry of education knows too well that the Nigerian scholarship students usually arrive not earlier than November when the semester is already half gone which they now believe in their ministry that it’s a national culture in Nigeria to be late and retarded.

On our arrival to Russia, the Nigerian Federal scholarship Board (FSB) made us to understand that our monthly allowances will be duly paid and that the Nigerian government takes proper care of her students abroad. It is obvious that the students have never been paid their allowances at the proper time, we are always left to starve, protest and demonstrate into the embassy of Nigeria in anger before we are being paid.

At the moment, we have not been paid our allowance for six months now and even the last time we were paid, we had to shout out before they came to our rescue. We are starving, and we are tired of demonstrating into the embassy every time before we are being paid and the issue of payments seems to be getting worse every day by day. We the students no longer understands what is happening to our government because each time we try to talk with the federal scholarship board, they in return tell us that they are not in possession of our funds, that the money has been sent but yet we keep waiting hopefully every day and night thinking the money will come but all to no avail. We are deeply starving in a foreign land. Some of our student’s passports were seized by their university because the students are out of fund so they cannot buy their medical insurance which is very important and part of the universities policy that every student must have a medical insurance. Most of our students are even receiving threats from their various hostels as a result of their inability to pay for their hostel fees. Our students have no money to transport themselves to their various towns’ of study and we all know that it is not every one that is born with a silver spoon in their mouth so majority of our students have no one to cry to in times of financial urgency, students go to class with empty stomach and we all know that it is practically impossible for a student to pay proper attention to the lecturer on an empty stomach.

Therefore we the Executive members of The Association of Nigerian Scholarship Students In Russia (ANSSIR) hereby appeal to the federal government of Nigeria to kindly pay proper and quick attention to our present predicament and make sure that this issue of starving the students through the habit of delay in payment which is becoming a usual phenomenon by the government is once and for all resolved. Nigerian students have always maintained an excellent record here in Russia.

We humbly call on the authorities and individuals responsible to amicably address the overwhelming situation in our hands, as we the federal scholarship students do remain respectful, discipline and hardworking while here in Russia.

Excos for the association.

davo u did wel by letin us knw,, dis is d second time nw a report like dis has bin made on dis thread, First it was by mis kanorian..nw u.. And deres no doubt its TRUE....
wel my view pertainin dis is dat govt will do somtin abt it ASAP.. Bt wat abt nxt year?, nxt two years? and so on?.. It Myt stil repeat itself.. The slight way out is wen we get dere we should be economical in spendin,save much,work during holidays even if govt is givin allowance den..because u dnt knw wen dis spirit of greed will enta d person in charge by dat time.. because i assume nw dat dat spirit wil run awau 4rm dat person in charge now dat d mess is open, bt later it wil stil com back & lure d person to repeat dis act.. Wel lets be pryerful in conclusion..
