A video of our university students celebrating their monthly NELFUND upkeep allowance to the tune of Omo Ologo. And yet some people, from the comfort of their air-conditioned rooms, dismissed both the need for and the impact of NELFUND. Students have dropped out of school over what others consider a “paltry” ₦10,000, while many more have had to sacrifice their studies to survive through side hustles. The story of LAUTECH’s 2026 best graduating student, whose GPA had been slipping before the NELFUND intervention but turned into a run of straight As afterwards, speaks volumes. Not everyone experiences the world through the same privileges or circumstances. Stop looking at the world through your rose-coloured lenses.
You’ll never find me criticizing NELFUND, just as I never criticized the school feeding programme under Buhari.
Some of us attended public universities, and we know there were students who dropped out simply because they couldn’t afford the fees or even the cost of living.
I am pro-education. I don’t care how the government delivers it, if a policy keeps children and young people in school, I’ll support it wholeheartedly.
Nothing liberates the masses more than education. The fact that poor students in public tertiary institutions can apply for NELFUND from the comfort of their rooms and receive approval is, by itself, worthy of commendation.

From Dr Omar Suleiman “Never assume that the trials and hardships you are facing today are because of your past sins. Allah does not hold grudges. That is a human trait." Always think positively of Allah.Even if life feels difficult today, trust that He is arranging something better for you.Keep believing in Allah's plan
@0luwaseun111 I think no one learn their skills the way u are describing it here. Mostly, people learn the little they can, build some basic projects then apply for internship then from there they start growing and going up.
OAU alone has several alumni, with advanced degrees in Engineering from KAUST. King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
It is one of several pathways regularly discussed apart from US/Canada scholarships.
It also comes free. It is the same model that the now increasingly popular Masdar Institute of Science and Technology also copied, and we have friends too who graduated from there.
Take it easy with the lies.
If you’re a graduate, one of the most overlooked ways to completely transform your life is through scholarships and research grants.
Many people focus only on getting a job, but there are opportunities that can fund your education, support your research, and even pay you a monthly stipend. In many cases, these stipends can be significantly higher than the salary of many entry-level jobs in Nigeria.
Imagine earning $3,000–$5,000 per month through funded research while building an international academic and professional profile at the same time. You’re not just earning—you’re gaining global exposure, expanding your network, and positioning yourself years ahead of many of your peers in the same field.
If job opportunities haven’t come your way yet, don’t conclude that you’ve run out of options. There are opportunities you may simply not have discovered.
I’ll be hosting a webinar where I’ll break down how to find and apply for scholarships and grants, avoid common mistakes, and increase your chances of success.
If you’re interested, type “INTERESTED” in the comments, and I’ll send you the webinar link.
