Lol... what is God's business here now?
Everybody will be communicated to... whether its rejection or acceptance, and so far no news is out yet.
We disturb God too much in this our obodo naija.

Lol.u won't understand. Going by the normal time table....by November the first set of selected applicants ought to have been selected and their first interviews slated. So its like its been disrupted somehow. Also, Obama who pioneered this program is going by 20tj of this month and trump takes over. Now a friend of mine who was chosen last year as a fellow told me that Obama told them to pray that Hilary wins cos if trump does chances are that he'll cancel it. Looks like that's what's happening. Besides what's the harm in putting faith in God? Isnt he the giver of all good things? Including this one??

You are right. For me, my hope is fixed on God.

I was a bit worried when I checked last year's. Most of them got their letter of invite or rejection in December. I was curious and got to ask. All the same it's just alright to put our trust in God especially now that things have changed. I Still believe with God everything is possible.

With Trump as president, I am sorry our chances have been trumped. That man would discontinue this programme. The reason for the silence is not unconnected with body language of the president elect after inauguration. Let's keep fingers crossed

learnt that some people have started getting interview invitations. as at this evening....who got the mail.... fingers crossed

Maguy you know say things done turn critical for this matter. And saying things like this need to have some degree of certitude to them.

Make e no be like say we dey fight.

Oga, kindly post the link where you saw it. I checked and there was nothing like that. In fact, people are advised to be patient and that invites will be sent in the coming "weeks". If you saw where it was posted that Nigerians have started receiving invites, for the benefit of all, send the link or post the exact place you saw it.

Thanks.

I don't owe you such favour. You can choose to believe what you like.

Lol! You think seriously that you are doing me a favour by posting the source of your information? I don't think so my brother....we are all here to either share or get information for the good of all of us. On the other hand, if you feel comfortable sticking to or hoarding your information or refusing to post the source as the case may be , please do so. We are only concerned about the spread of unverified and misleading info in this platform...God bless you!

Instead of you to pray that you are selected, you are here attacking the person who updated you.

Some Nigerians have been called for interview and some have already been interviewed since the beginning of this week.

Now, no need to fear because the interview is being done on batches till February, so, if you are not called for an interview now, that doesn't mean you might not be called later. You would have done yourself a whole load of good if you checked out the page he recommended. Nairaland is not the only place you can get information.

I didn't attack him or anybody who updated the house with useful information. Read the my post very well, I only requested that he state the source of his information or better still he should post the link here for the benefit of all. Do you call that attack or is it too much to do considering that there are many here who never saw that updates?

All the same, I wish the entire house success! God you all!

He said 'Yali network face2face' on Facebook. All you could have done was to search for it on Facebook.

Please, has anyone here received an invite or knows someone who has received an invite or has been interviewed?
