by Chibuike Ugwuoke

As a youngster, I had a dream to study abroad but the truth is, dreams are luxuries that can only be accessed when there is money.

My name is Chibuike Ugwuoke was born and bred in Enugu State twenty-something years ago to a very modest family. Even though I wouldn’t say we were poor because we had neighbours that prayed to live in our condition, I knew schooling abroad was reaching for the stars. We simply couldn’t afford it.

I gained admission to study Computer Science at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 2007 and by God’s grace, graduated in 2011 with First Class Honours. It was a challenging experience but helped me become the man I am today.

Last year, I left Nigeria for the first time – to begin my Masters of Science (MSc) program in Information Security at the University College, London (UCL). It wasn’t because my parents had become overnight millionaires but because I was one of two hundred and five (205) graduate students to benefit from the PRESSID (Presidential Scholarship Scheme for Innovation and Development) awardees in 2014.

A senior lecturer at the university informed me about it but I felt it was one of those 419 wayo-wayo scholarship schemes that has become a norm in Universities. Besides, I did not expect the final selection process to be credible. In previous regimes, such things are only awarded to people who are related to a prominent person in the government. Somehow I decided to try my luck and apply but even when I was going for the final test phase in Abuja, a part of me felt I was wasting my time.

I’m here in London, but neither the cold nor the fact that I am again the class representative as I was throughout my undergraduate days has made me fully believe that I am not in dreamland.

Hardwork, determination and resilience helped me graduate with first class honours from the university. My classmates who fondly nicknamed me ‘Modulus’ and other schoolmates I met form part of my network of friends today, as do some of my lecturers. There is no point in criticizing the academic structure of most tertiary institutions in Nigeria because the more we complain and point fingers, the more time we give for the system to decay. Personally, I have decided to be part of the needed change and will become a lecturer when I return.

It is imperative to note that this would not have been possible without God and the Goodluck Jonathan administration that initiated this scheme in 2012. I cannot thank you enough, Mr. President especially for lifting a burden from my parents’ shoulders and for fulfilling the dream of a nobody.

When I was notified that I had gotten the scholarship, the first thing I did was to call my elderly mother and tell her. She cried on the phone and I cried along with her. There are few things in this world that beat the tears of joy of a happy woman. Thank you, Mr. President.

If not why will a govt. That send uni 6month strike and poly to 11month strike will boast of improving the education sector.
There is something fishy.

Goats reared in Jigawa get sense pass u. Anyone can post comment even with chinko fone.

hamilton62:

Why are some Nigerians like you ungrateful and envious without limits...? You first learn from a master before seeking independence, China did it, Indians too, the Koreans, the Malaysians.
Having these guys come back to in turn invest into our education and civilisation with their acquire knowledge will do this for mine and your children.
Please, be grateful I beg you!
What do you think if the previous governments did things like this, by now we, our education would have been better because quality lecturers ask for state of the art laboratories and apparatus or machines with conducive learning environment.
Thanks and God bless you!
Viva Nigeria!!

Stop talking foolishly. Nigeria is a country of 180million people. You give presidential scholarship to just 200. How does that make Nigeria better? How will just 200 people better Nigeria. But if 20,000 benefit quality education in Nigeria like it ia abroad, won't it make more impact?

If this makes no sense to you, then your reasoning is to the likes of Patience Jonathan. So don't quote me again.

lovat:
every country has scholarship for sending their students to study abroad. I don't think your comment is relevant here

Just 200 people on scholarship and that is a great achievement? Sorry, you don't know what good leadership is.

olapluto:
Nigerians have been getting scholarship to study in the UK long before GEJ came on. PTDF sends many many graduates (I think 5 per state) yearly. Kini Big deal?

But he did this in addition to PTDF.

Are you even talking about PTDF scholarship that only the sons and daughters of the highly connected get?

For the first time in a long while, scholarships were awarded transparently without 'the man know man' abracadabra and you say we should not give GEJ kudos for this?

felifeli:
[size=18pt]Nairaland is full of school dropouts and third class graduates busy telling the world that Nigeria is a failure. You are wrong. Work hard and like this guy the sky may not even limit you instead of using 5k chinko phone to abuse GEJ and all your other imaginary enemies everyday. O su mi o.[/size]

I read some APcheats abusing one person who said that the House of Representative is part of the federal government. APCheats told the person to go back to school, called him/her ignoramus, rained all sorts of insults on the fellow; they said that the House of Representatives was not part of the federal government, and that the House was an independent body.

They were protecting APC House Speaker Tambuwa who warned the federal government to be careful on how it treats the Jega matter.

Rewarding excellence ain't no crime . more universities have been built but "they" say its nothing... These guys going to world class universities are mandated to return and lecture in our federal institutions and transfer the knowledge here... Let's criticise constructively.

Lol universities that produce illiterate graduates like your first lady. Mandated indeed. Will you dictate their lives?

Pleas I want to apply for scholarship to study abroad I will be glad if u can give me more details or help me with it. Thanks in anticipation for your candid help

dustydee:
Previous governments sent hundreds on scholarships ( I am one of them) and they didn't make noise about it. While I commend the initiative, lets not blow it out of proportion, we should instead concentrate on what effect it has had on our educational system.

If brother A doesn't give his testimony in church,.should that stop sister B from giving her 'less fancied' testimony? "and they overcame him by the testimony of their mouth "

So touchy.

GEJ u have my vote no matter what

No mind the ode... Thinks everyone on NL is his fellow lowlife..

Praise the 'good' deeds and condemn the 'bad' ones... Jonathan did a great job on this so called scholarship scheme. Even when it was almost hijacked from it being a merit based award to a zonal ish, he took his stand on it... I want it as a merit based award!

#Not viewing this from a political point of view but as a Nigerian who wants the best for all Nigerians.

Kngrats bro,lucky U or rather favour U. The last picture reminds of the famous NSLT,I read dere too Buh I didn't graduate with first class sha,lol. DAT building has been brought down.I wish U all the best. Just finished from dere.
