It doesn't take rocket science to know that with this perennial individualism and lack of altruism that pipz like @crimanalmindz depict, Nigeria has a long way to go. I am a medical doctor from Rivers State who scored 42 but hasn't been invited whereas I have a colleague from Abia that scored 35 who got an invite 2 days ago. Until we start standing up to various forms of injustice in this country, our leaders will keep taking us for granted and won't stop contracting delicate exams like the nddc scholarship- which was originally meant for putting the round pegs in round holes- to incompetent persons due to nepotism and impunity. Our leaders call for resource control but it's appalling to know what they do with the huge monies accruing to them. I think a viable social media campaign against this nddc injustice will create awareness. NDDC scholarship should not be a favour, it should be a right if deserved.

Criminalmindz what are you talking about? There is a system and it should work for the people who worked hard for it and deserve a slot in the interview. I wrote on Monday, it was bad enough that an exam for 1 o'clock didn't start till 7:30pm and I had to write it 3 times before I got a score. Now I scored high and I haven't been called. A friend of mine with the same course, the same State, the same LGA got a lower score but was called. Another friend scored high but wasn't sent an sms until he went to nddc office to complain. Please if u don't know what to say, just keep quiet. The system is flawed and this particular year, it was very disorganized.

blessedotiz:
Ladies and Gents, I received your request to send messages. I would love to help but as we chat I am yet to receive a SMS. I have called the guy and he said not to worry that they aren't done, but I am worried. I have called my Uncle who is at NDDC now to see someone to help me make a complaint and inquire about what is happening. I would v gone myself but to enter the office has a lot of protocols. He has promised to call me when he's with his friend (a manager) who called him over so I can speak to him over the phone. I have resorted to storm the presidentiał hotel on Thursday if this inconsistency persist. Will keep you guys updated. Has anyone received a SMS today, especially from Rivers State?

shadowgwalker:
Criminalmindz the cut off for Rivers State is 35. Anyone who got above that should have been called. The problem is that only those who have people to fight for them will get Justice. NDDC was using Cinfores to host their exams in the past, I just dunno why they changed Cinfores and started using this new company who clearly can't get their acts together. It's a shame!!!

criminalmindz:


LOL, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR. SEARCH FOR THIS PARTICULAR THREAD ON NAIRALAND ie THE 2014 NDDC SCHOLARSHIP THREAD. READ THROUGH IT AND FREE YOUR TROUBLED MIND

I think you should keep your mouth shut and allow people express themselves. If you have been sent a text go and prepare for interview and stop behaving like a kid. I have very reliable information coming from both NDDC and the consultant company handling the exams so please be reasonable and respect the boundaries.

This is the issue,

NDDC has a cut-off stipulated for each state, the consultants select those that meet the cut-off and send the names back to NDDC who are now responsible for allocating interview dates and sending SMS

The names are being sorted manually and they are still in the sorting process, the interview dates will stretch to two weeks so definitely those that have not received who meet the cut-off will be sent their SMS eventually and interview dates allocated to them.

Let all nerves be calm, and pray to God that everything work out fine.


Mind you, I'm not an applicant am just observing.

This criminal guy, what's your problem?, you must be an Ikwerre man, haughty, and arrogant.
Look, house let's all accept the fact that NDDC contracted this year's interview to an inexperienced firm for this years CBT.
Look, I and my younger scored 35, from Rivers, Eleme LGA; he wrote in the morning of monday, while I wrote late in the night around 7:30pm. Coicedentially, we had same score, and he's been invited for oral on 28th while I'm yet to get an invite. People come here to give all sorta guesses. Something is seriously wrong somewhere. I believe they'll still send an invite to us. But if this process is a manual one, there bound to be problem, mistakes and flaws. I wish those that fall in my class well. Let God's will be done.

gentledonn:
I GOT 40 IN THE CBT FROM IMO,,,,,NO INVITE YET!WHAT IS HAPPENING?

A14:
If you haven't gotten an invite and you are sitting at home waiting for an sms. My advice, MOVE ON!!!

blessedotiz:
I actually got the number of one of the guys sending the SMS and he said they aren't done sending. He requested for my details and said I will get today as they will send more text messages today. He also said he's aware many people who scored high haven't been texted and that they are working to rectify that. I'm hoping they sort it out today. I quite fancy the idea of going to NDDC headquarters to lodge a complaint early as it gives time for them to do something before the interviews r done with, as when they finish it will be too late to do anything. Cause trust me some people that score high will still be omitted at the days end if they aren't proactive about this.

shadowgwalker:

Stupid advice!!!

A14:



I know it sounds silly but it's the hard truth. NDDC has finished sending sms's. So it's either you go and complain to them or you MOVE ON!!!

By the way peeps from BY I just heard your cut off is 30 so please if you got more than that DON'T SIT AT HOME EXPECTING match down to presidential or NDDC.

shadowgwalker:

Look at you contradicting yourself. Those from Bayelsa should match down to presidential hotel & the rest of us should move on? You and Criminalmindz should just keep quiet abeg since you have nothing better to say.

A14:


Wow!!! Now read carefully. What I'm trying to say is this if you don't go and complain to them you won't get an invite. That's why I used the context 'sitting at home'.

What about those who stay very far and don't have where to stay in ph? Should they also move on when they actually earned the right to be interviewed? Your advice is insensitive cuz it's not our faults that an incompetent hand handled our scores. People expressing themselves here, helps those who stay far know how to manage their situation. So stop being insensitive and mind your bizness.

vechris10:
I think you actually make sense. But the thing is people that stay far away. Could b an issue.
