Over 100 Nigerian Students Stranded In UK As Govt Withdraws Scholarships



More than 100 Nigerian students in the UK face deportation because their funding has been withdrawn by the government.
According to UK Telegraph, the affected students would have to return home before Christmas because a bursary scheme funded by a regional agency in Nigeria has been cancelled.
The agency’s decision to withdraw the funding without their knowledge has left some students saddled with debts of up to £20,000.
A number of students have been reportedly told that they will not receive their degree certification – even though many of them completed their courses in the last academic year.
The newspaper said it spoke to a number of students affected, who said they have been told they could be deported as early as 20 October.
Leeds University medical student Ogbonnaya Ogbonna is one of around 50 university students face being deported because a bursary scheme funding their degrees was pulled by government department without their knowledge.
The Nigerian high commission confirmed that 152 students had been caught up in the scandal when approached for comment, adding that the agency had been left with a “draught of funding” due to a slump in oil revenues.

The family home of Zambia striker Alex N'gonga in Chimwemwe, Kitwe has reportedly been attacked by hoodlums following Zambia's defeat to Nigeria at the Godswill Akpabio stadium, Uyo on Saturday, October 7. Alex Iwobi's second international goal condemned the Chipolopolo of Zambia to a 1-0 defeat as the Super Eagles qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.  The report stated that the thugs were livid with Alex N'gonga for missing so many scoring chances which would have helped the Chipolopolo in their tie against the Super Eagles. Copperbelt province police commissioner Charity Katanga was reported to have said that a group of people emerged from a white Toyota Landcruiser ACC 5492 and maliciously damaged two roofing sheets with stones. Alex N'gonga's mother was said to be inside alone when the house was attacked, but the report never stated whether she was hurt or not.

The minister of agriculture and rural developmen Atudu Ogbeh , has said that Nigerian cows are the worst producers of milk across the world. Speaking in Lagos at the 79th anniversary of the Ikoyi Club 1938 on Thursday, September 28, Ogbeh said the cows raised in Nigeria produce far less quantity of milk than other in other parts of the world. The minister said while cows in some countries produce 100 litres of milk daily, an average Nigerian cow produces less than one litre of milk in a day. He also said that the cows in countries like Holland produce 50 litres per day on the average while the US cows have more production. Ogbeh said: “An average cow in the US drinks an average of 100 litres of water per day; but in Nigeria, I doubt whether a cow can get two liters of water per week.” “The earlier farmers started developing ranches for cows, the better it would be for the cow market and its entire value chain,” Ogbeh said.
