Good morning y'all and happy new year!

Let me give a brief introduction about myself before moving to the main subject matter. My name is xfire and I have dedicated most of my activities on Nairaland into guiding and enlightening young students & graduates based largely from my own experiences both in and out of school (though I have been low key for a while now). You can view my Nairaland profile to see my past threads and posts on Nairaland for further insight. You can also view my past articles on jarushub.com

As part of contributions towards giving back to the society that has benefited me, I will be starting an annual quiz / scholarship award for Nairaland undergraduates to be sustained annually for now, with 2017 being the maiden year. The quiz will be in form of an online aptitude test to be administered to interested and qualified participants.

The Top 3 students from the online test results will be announced here and the cash awards will be given as follows:

Winner: N50, 000

1st Runner up: N30, 000

2nd Runner up: N20, 000

A cash prize of N5, 000 each will be given to the 4th and 5th best as consolation.

I will also appreciate if I can have a diligent student volunteer that will assist in designing the electronic award certificate and also ACTIVELY support me in the general coordination of the whole exercise. The volunteer student will be rewarded with a token after the whole exercise as he/she will be excluded from participating in the scholarship exercise. If you are willing to assist, please send me a mail on xfire2014@gmail.com not later than tomorrow.

Criteria for Participation:
(1) Must a Nairaland Member with account registered not later than 30th June, 2016.
(2) Must have made a minimum of 7 posts (with no rules broken) in the Education section in 2016.
(3) Must be an Nigerian undergraduate in any tertiary institution in Nigeria but not in final year. Final year students are excluded.

If you meet all the criteria and you are interested, just signify interest by stating your email address, institution, level & course of study on this thread.

Since this is the maiden edition and I will be the main person overseeing this effort for 2017, the exercise will limited to the first 60 students that signify interest and meet the criteria stated above. All shortlisted participants will be posted here once the cut-off limit (60) is reached.

Hopefully, I will be less involved in subsequent editions which means more participants can be involved and more prizes may be given out.

Plan is to conclude the whole exercise by January ending. You can post an enquiry here. More information will provided as the day goes by.

Cheers....

xfire
