hello,wat about the issue of national nominating agency.are we applying through them or we shld just apply thru that link. So ao s the national nomination going to work.

.

Before you all jump into this seemingly harmless opportunity, check on my previous warnings to fellow Africans since last year about a clandestine UK policy to re-invent slavery in former British colonies.

As Britain plan to exit the European Union, their only hope of survival is to re-invent slavery in third world countries. This they plan to achieve in various long term schemes, including by baiting you with scholarship offers, and other incentives of which the ultimate goal is to control your mind, to de-Africanize you, to control your intellect, to make you an educated fool.

The slavery of the 21st century would be different, so don't expect a chain on your neck. Don't expect a chain on your hands. The chain would be on your mind and the vehicle is education.

Education is the biggest tool of mind control. That's why Adolf Hitler said ''let me control the textbooks and I'll control the mind of the nation''.

By the way, the commomwealth of nations was originally called ''the British Commonwealth'' it was only renamed in the 1940's, and the purpose is to conceal the true meaning to enhance their deceit to fool you the more. Be informed, the commonwealth is a remnant colonial institution comprising members of all nations enslaved by Britain. Therefore, the commonwealth clearly isn't there for your interest, but for the interest of Britain. Believe it or not, by applying for this scholarship you acknowledge you are a slave!. Yes, I prefer to tell you the whole truth.

Note: I' am not saying you shouldn't apply, but I want you have these things at the back of your mind, because they fooled our ancestors before- a cordial trade in gold and cash crops gradually turned to slavery. Always have it at the back of your mind that the people you're dealing with are the descendants of the same people that enslaved your forefathers, and they still somehow consider you a slave.

Be warned!.

I don't really understand your point, are u saying they just want to choose the best brains from Africa?

CapitalCeee:


I don't really understand your point, are u saying they just want to choose the best brains from Africa?

Yes, and its popularly called ''brain drain''. I was simply explaining how it works as nothing is being said in the media about how it actually works.

There's an ongoing clandestine western policy to take the best brains out of third world countries, and it have been going on for many years. Just take a trip to their embassies and you'll see that only those Africans with potentials get the longest visa duration.

That's why you have more qualified Nigerian doctors in the US alone than the entire African continent!. And its like that in so many other professions that Africa actually need to develop. Our best brains are systematically being stolen, thereby constantly depleting us of the same professionals we actually need here in Africa to develop. When you understand these things, you'll understand the world's system of things is set up to perpetually keep us dependent and education is the latest vehicle.

If you stop a moment and think about it, you'll discover the current brainwashing model of education we inherited from Britain is part of slavery!. What we need is re-invent education in Africa and create our own version of education and study on our own terms. Only then shall we be free!. I've been saying this for years, but it seems my people are too blind to understand.

Again, don't expect a chain on your neck or hands in the slavery of the 21st century. The chain would be on our minds.

If you stop a moment and think about it, you'll see the current brainwashing model of education we inherited from Britain is already part of slavery!.

been following ur post for a while, it seems u are totally against the west, u back up ur reason with some kind of conspiracy theories, well u might be right, to some extend i reason with ur ideology of intellectual slavery, but look at it from this point of view, I am a young African youth with vision and vibrant mind,I av goals ahead of me but the government av refused to create an enabling environment for me, there is an offer outside there at little or no cost for me to set me on a high pedestal and achieve my goals, with an unbounded desire to reach a limitless height, what do you expect of me? to grab the opportunity even though I know it is purposely to enslave my insensitive nation and continually make them dependent or stick to my country and remain a mediocre for live? which i know i'll regret even in my grave yard.
I am of this school of thought, as long as a community continuously receive and depends on donations in any form, they will forever remain dependent in all aspect of live. but when you take care of your own, they will take care of you, a simple tool yet effective, the Jews have been making use of and they remain one of the richest group of people scattered all over. but then as an individual here, there is a limit to what we can do, as the politicians steal the money meant for developing the nation and foolishly develop the western countries because of their selfishness and extravagant lifestyle. what can a common man do rather than to grab any opportunity available or face life the way it presents itself.

The truth is that most of the scholarship in our nation is not being followed or monitored. It's like having from the shared cake. The guy above me has just told the truth, only if you have bad thought for the west.

it's called brain drain

I absolutely agree with you. I will choose brain drain over "brain dead" or "brain waste" any day anytime.

this one got me laughing o..

Nigerians are funny sha. You don't hold your useless and corrupt politicians accountable to providing a conducive environment for it best brains you keep blaming the West for most of the misfortunes of Nigeria whereas it is your leaders that are killing you, looting away your resources, sending all their schools to this same schools in the UK. Even your current President has a daughter in the UK.
I am not saying the West have good intentions with most of this schemes but blame your stupid and corrupt leaders/Politicians who have failed at the responsibility to improve education and standards of living. Blame the docile citizens who have refused to hold their leaders accountable. STOP BLAMING THE WEST ALL THE TIME FOR YOUR OWN MISFORTUNES CAUSED BY YOUR LEADERS.

Last, I checked Commonwealth is not by force. USA a former British colony is not a part of this organization.You can tell your government to opt out just like Brexit.

No mind them Africa always playing the victim. All our politicians and leaders send their kids with stolen money to these same UK schools we don't complain about this, we always blame the West.

Quite unfortunate, that's why we are where we are today.

Rather than channeling our grievances towards our leaders we'll be busy blaming others or calling on God to come down and solve our problems.

The country just tire person.

It is quite sad. So bro are you applying?

Pushas:

Yes, will probably apply to schools separately to boost one's chance.


The supporting documents, reference and transcript, are not yet ready though, but hopefully they will before the closing date.

Are you also applying?

I agree with the brain drain and brain waste saga both of u are right in ur own pespectives but brain waste issue cannot be possible if we do resist them unanimously during elections so we still play dirty roles in make them corrupt leaders so we are conciously or unconciously architects of our problems
its better to take the brain drain option because we all are serious first class slaves in our own country check out attributes of slavery(restricted freedom of speech,work without salary,no social secruity,still pay taxes and still die at stampede looking for job)and see whether u are not a slave in NIGERIA

I don't think so. Just be careful. As this scholarship is always manipulated by the Federal Scholarship Board Nigeria who serve as the nominating agency here. You can check last year's thread. I am actually waiting for CSS that one is purely based on merit.

A friend told me about the nominating agency issue, but there's no harm in trying.

I also want to use the application to test ground, never applied for a postgraduate scholarship before.

Also want to use the application to see which lecturers I will use for future applications as references.
