In a forward thinking Country, one will expect the Senate and House of Representatives to summon the President and slam him with impeachment notice for failing to protect Nigerians.
Unfortunately, the Senate and House of Representatives are largely occupied by members of .....
the President’s political party. I kid you not, they’re just taking pay check and feeding the President’s ego. To them it is all about party loyalty rather than patriotism. The President is aware of how solid his cabals are and will not be bothered with the agony of the masses
The Judiciary on the other hand have not provided comfort to Nigerians. Matters demanding urgent sentences are dragged until amnesia sets in. It is a planned attempt to keep the country in perpetual misery.
I am tired of reading news of death, kidnapping and banditry......
The poor man will always be the victim. The ethnic, religious and political cards are still working on us. Only a few have broken free from this trap. I pray this fire 🔥 will not consume us. #EndSARS#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria

I strongly advise you not to lie in your application.
Alternatively, I’ll advise you to package your CV and make it stand out.
Leadership and volunteering roles are good selling points, let me show you some tricks:
1) Mr A wrote : I served as Financial Secretary of my Department between 2018-2019.
Mr B wrote: I managed, organized and coordinated financial records of over 1,000 students between 2018-2019.
2) Mr A wrote: My role as choirmaster exposed me to organizing and coordinating projects.
Mr B : As the Chief Musical Director of X, I led a team of 100 chorister to the National music festival. I learnt excellent interpersonal and communication skill while doing this.
There are many checklists that Scholarship bodies use to access the quality of your application, be sure to put up a really competitive package.
No one will give you money for a “normal application”. Tell a good story with your credentials, experiences and passion. Your CGPA, Curriculum Vitae, Personal statements, Recommendations, Test scores, Publication (if any), voluntary services rendered, achievements, memberships.
The take home point is – SELL YOURSELF.
Note: Scholarship bodies evaluate the total package not just a single part (make all parts count).
2) NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS.
How many applications should you turn in? - 1, 5, 10 or 50.
