(CNN) When Nigerian student Mercy Eyo landed a foreign postgraduate scholarship in July 2019, she had just lost her father. "These are things that make me cry sometimes or feel depressed," Eyo told CNN. Other scholarship students from Nigeria that CNN spoke to were able to make their way abroad. But life is no joke for some of the students stranded abroad without the money promised for their fees and upkeep. Essien said he has been in contact with the other Nigerian students who received scholarships from the NDDC.
