michaelismenten:
Keep your personal statement achievable and tight, try to avoid plagiarism. I constructed mine from the beginning to the end.

Oh alright, thanks for this. I don't have access to my academic files rn so I haven't gotten to the personal statement segment. Is there a structure to follow? (I'm assuming it's like a statement of purpose)

kingofthemall, marveloncy1, and michaelismenten,

Congrats guys.

I'm applying for the UK scholarship, any tips?

diamond88:
I beg link or which local station

aifybuu:
Please, does my proposed course of study have to be same with my degree course??

I think you need to check course prerequisites on the individual school websites.

Impactever:
Moreso, has anyone been able to access the http://www.ptdf.flexisaf.com/ website since yesterday ?

I have been attempting to apply since 2 dats ago but the site is not opening from my end . It seems the Nigerian Federal Government are fond of making any online application very frustrating for applicants .......What will it cost PTDF to make a good financial budget and hire the service of a good web developer ...This is too bad .....


However, those who have successfully applied, pls tell us the browser you used and any other possible hints that made your application successful.

It's really disappointing that PTDF is getting the basic things wrong. I've used about 3 browsers, and when I saw 'successful registration', I waited in vain for a welcome mail.

Mekanus:
What dafuq is 'Lylon' nigga

IHATEPUZZY:
Hmmm someone just got sacked in first bank

And in this case,
Goat - Snake - Man

Lol heartless snake. Very funny op.
You're lucky you're a top predator, else the chain could be Goat - Snake - Man - Alien

Gerrard59:
Cannot say as I've not participated in the process. However, my evaluation of previous process, I'll term it quite fair enough in commensurate to the rewards.

Thanks for your response. I reckon that there will be rounds of screening? What do these screening entail? Interviews, essays?

Gerrard59:
It's PTDF. You're bound to return.

@Post: Good schools listed there. My problem with Nigerian government backed scholarships is withholding funds needed for sponsorship arbitrarily. Same thing was done with PRESSID (totally scrapped!), NDDC (owing here and there).

How stressful is applying for PTDF?

If your want to make fast money in Nigeria, Invest in Worthless&Vanity TV Shows like bbnaija, Violence and sex.
The human race is on a hopeless decline here in Nigeria. .


Adenike Adelakun A lady in her early 20's from the faculty of pharmacy, university of Ibadan graduated with 6.8/7.00 cgpa. No one is talking about that, I know there are excellent performances from other schools too, but I only talked about the one I'm sure of. Nigerians no longer celebrate academic excellence and innovations. All we are interested in are just frivolities. If we continue this way, we have no hope as a nation.

It's sad and nauseating when you want to read news on the most popular Nigerian site in a Monday morning And all you can find on the front page is news about a useless show. When did Nigerians get reduced to this point?

You need to get on Quora then. NL doesn't use feedback afaic.

If you want to achieve success, you will have to make big sacrifices. I find that many people ardently heed this advice — and make sacrifices on a permanent basis and then learn too late that there’s more to life than just chasing after success. Yes, you must make sacrifices but it should be for the short term. You should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

10 Important Career Lessons Most People Learn Too Late In Life:

1. Don't stay in a job you hate. You spend half of your life at work. Life is too short to put up with a job you hate or a boss who treats you poorly. Many people convince themselves that they can stay in a job that makes them unhappy because they need the income or because they don’t believe they can find another job. But the truth is spending too much of it in a bad situation will make you miserable and it can affect your health. If you’re in this situation, try taking small steps to where you want to be. You deserve so much better!

2. Take care of yourself - Sacrificing your health for success or wealth isn’t worth it. I had a close friend who worked non-stop. He was always “plugged in” and wouldn’t even take vacation. He was diagnosed with cancer, took retirement and died shortly thereafter. Sadly though, he never got to enjoy any of his retirement earnings. Our bodies are not machines. You can’t keep going 24/7. The lights won’t always be green. If you don’t slow down, eventually, you will come to a red light and have to make a complete stop. Don’t take your health for granted - no amount of success or money can replace your health.

"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." - Jim Rohn

3. Take time to Listen. Listening is a great time and money saver. It can solve a host of problems, bring creativity, give insights and not to mention show people that you care. Listening is crucial to gaining a complete understanding of situations. Without this full understanding, one can easily waste everyone’s time by solving the wrong problem or merely addressing a symptom, not the root cause. I would like to challenge you to make a concerted effort to listen more than you speak and just see the benefits.

4. Rejection and Failure will strengthen you. Failure is not the end. Few things in life are certain but failure is. Although it leaves a sour taste, failures are the pillars for success. You gain experiences you could not get any other way. Additionally, rejection is unavoidable in a creative life. Learning how to deal with rejection early on, will keep you from plummeting into a place of immobilizing despair. Rejection hurts but don't dwell on it. If you focus on positive thinking, even the harshest defeat is only a stepping-stone.

5. Don’t let money or your job title define you. Most people define success around money or fame. They get their self-worth from these things.This gives money way too much power over your life. We must realize these things could be lost in an instant. Maybe it's time for you to re-define success. Enter the race you are designed to run. Focus on a higher purpose and you’ll bring out the best in yourself and others. Only by using your gifts and talents in the service of others can you live a life that brings lasting fulfillment.

6. Surround yourself with people who will motivate you and push you to grow. Teamwork and networking is key. Part of your success is dependent on the people you surround yourself with. Social networks matter. I am not saying you should only surround yourself with sycophants but those with positive voices who will see the greatness in you, believe with you and encourage you to take action. Many of us have stifled our dreams because of doubtful and negative colleagues and friends.

7. Spend more time away from the office and more time with your family. Work is a never-ending process and life is not only about work, office, and clients. Sometimes in our efforts to provide for our families, we miss a key point: precious time with them. The interests of a client is important but so is your family. No one wishes on their death bed they spent more time in the office or more time checking email. Disconnect regularly and experience real life with those that matter most to you.

"What consumes your mind controls your life... What's on your mind?"

8. Worrying doesn’t solve anything. It just magnifies fear and creates anxiety. The antidote to fear is action. Don't let fear hold you back. You won’t achieve your goals if you’re afraid to pursue an idea, or are worried what others will think of you. If you push through the worry and the fear you’ll almost always find that you were worried about nothing. Have faith. Don't worry. Patience and Persistence will open the right doors. "I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." —Mark Twain

9. Never stop learning. Never stop growing. Personal development is continuous. Learn everything about the field you are in and also related fields. Become the expert others look to for advice. With the rate at which technologies are changing, if you decide that you are done learning, you will be left behind. By continuously learning you will be able to keep on top of things, make better decisions and remain "relevant" in this digital era. Try as well to diversify your skill-set so you can have income from more than one sources.

10. Happiness is in the present moment. Many people say. "I'll be happy when I achieve..." Happiness seems to be somewhere in the distant future where you will find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. None of us knows how long we have on this earth so you can choose to be happy now. The truth is that the rat race is never-ending. It sucks you in and has it's grip fixed so tightly that you forget to enjoy the journey and those around you. Life is full of moving targets. The bar is constantly being set higher and higher. No matter what your situation, if you can approach it with an attitude of happiness, you are already successful.

Throwback:
If Dangote did not work for his money over more than 2 decades he has been notable in the business circle, then I reckon he stole it and became an overnight billionaire?

We all know what business sectors Dangote operates, and like all true entrepreneurs, he tries to dominate and monopolize the competition, while ensuring he remains in the good books of any government of any tribe. He is both political and apolitical. He is Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba/Ijaw/Igbo whenever the need arise. He understands that he has a diverse customer base who are the ones that continue to put money into his pocket.

Most importantly, he is neither proud nor boastful, nor does he claim to have been the reason why any development was attained anywhere. In staying humble those who are above him exalted him till he rose above them. Ultimately, making more friends and less enemies.

Learn from Dangote, and you will be successful too.

What a wawu comment.

henryhemon:
Little question,when she bared her boobs online,did she do that for peeps not to look at it? If she had something else to offer aside nudity she would have done it. What I'm trying to say is when you bring your shit to the public,its everyone's business,I'm sorry to say most of you girls are crap n has absolutely nothing to offer than sex,stop acting like you re something special,every woman as private part if that's what you mean by something that's never going to be theirs,its not special anymore. You know whats special........what you have inside that no one else has.

What kind of drink would you like my friend?

Jh0wsef:
We cant post such on our website, we don't intend to sexualise our readers but pass an Information."


what information?

lmao

amnwa:
I don't understand how putting a condom is now a worthy topic that will grace front page..


Where did we go wrong
Is everything about money n traffic now
That we have lost our morals

Shithole country


Our leaders are busy sharing millions.
Nairaland s busy reporting about someone who wore condom.
Lmao

Lol but I think forum should replace country in your post.

Angel1696:
me its 18 years now

mine is 10 decades now

Lol they thought that their fork will be like btc and bch.

Only a few would understand.

Hemjayy:

But Peter is somewhat more attractive and rich.

AntiWailer:

cr7lomo:
No comments and it makes front page...but there are lots of interesting topics that are begging for front page with lots of views and comments ...y are u guys ( moderators) so corrupt??

Corrupt? I think there's a more befitting word but I don't want to get serious ban. Lol. If there was a Quora styled Nigerian forum, I would spend less time here.

DrinkLimca:
I won't be surprise if 99% of the single ladies are the so called feminist..
The ones that are forming feminist on nairaland, fighting guys and calling them broke all over the platform..

mention her moniker na... are you afraid?

I'm reading all kinds of funny comments... 'I don't see anything wrong, they're a couple bla bla bla', 'It's good to try something new yen yen yen'. This is absolutely disgusting. Now I'm not even absolving the airheads that leaked the video.

Humans are not animals and self discipline and control is key. If I need to have a varied sexual experience, there are other ways to have it without compromising privacy. Anyone could have even walked in on them whilst they were watching, and from the look of things they movie wasn't even erotic.
