NairaSand:Please, you guys should take these your narratives to politics section. This one, PTDF Scholarship, that we are talking about now is an urgent case study at hand, not states allocation and what they do with it. Good a thing, this one concerns everybody. So, what have we done since to hold PTDF accountable? I hate to hear this bad leadership rhetoric without any action as if it is peculiar only to a particular state or region. |
owora1:Watch it. You're about derailing this thread further. Why mention IPOB members here? Whether some or all, the comparison is completely needless and even more provocative. Whether you like their approach or not, you didn't have to call them out here. |
God forbid that Buhari will be the one to bring the Nigeria of our dream. |
"The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress" Until Nigerians put limits to the extent they can be taken for granted or maltreated by their feckless and non-performing leaders, things are never going go improve. "You cannot wash away the blood that you have shed. You cannot erase the memory of your failures and your atrocities and those that you have humiliated, destroyed, insulted, tortured, incarcerated and subjected to persecution and the most vicious and callous media trials" |

Virtuoso89:Scroll up and read Voice234's first post on the previous page. It's for LSS successful candidates both MSc and PhD. |
Dumb mockery. The protesters that found time to chase you back home are the real friends of Nigeria. Despite the fact that they are arguably leading a comfortable life over there, they still thought it wise to share in our pains by driving you back home through the protest. And you want them to come back too to this hell of a country where nothing is working. Baba, your presidency is a collective insult on the sensibilities and rationality of Nigerians. |
Congrats man. May God bless your hustle. |

adakoleagbenu:If you abandon your studies for whatever reason, you'll have to refund PTDF whatever amount they have spent on you. It's part of the bond you'll sign. |

Scholarship hopefuls, I think we need to go to this thread and continue pushing. Probably it'll get to front page. https://www.nairaland.com/4007957/release-list-successful-candidates2017-18 |
A total of 4, 989 candidates were shortlisted to participate in the Aptitude Test for the 2017/18 PTDF Overseas and Local (MSc) Scholarship award.The E-Test which was conducted in the six geo-political zones had 1, 687 candidates shortlisted in the North Central zone which held in Abuja. Lagos centre for the South West, had 1343 shortlisted candidates, 986 for the South South zone conducted in Port Harcourt, 557 for the North West conducted in Kaduna, 235 for the North East conducted in Bauchi, and 141 for South East zone conducted in Enugu. For over 44 days since the CBT examination was written the candidates are yet to hear from PTDF management about the result of the exam. The scholarship hopefuls have continued to wait for PTDF to release the list of the successful candidates to no avail. It is worrying to know that most of the prospective Overseas scholars will resume early September, 2017 as stated in their various universities academic calender. This will leave them with only 2 to 3 weeks to secure CAS, VISA and make other travelling arrangements from now, plus the fact that some of the awardees who are already working will have to give their employers 3 weeks notice in their resignation letter. PTDF is aware of the rigours of the aforementioned preparation yet they feign ignorant. Some prospective overseas scholars have forfeited their university admissions already as the timeline given to them to accept the unconditional admission offers has elapsed while others deferred theirs till January, 2018. The scholarship hopefuls have expressed their frustration and hopelessness over the deafening silence of PTDF regarding the unprecedented and unjustified delay in publishing the list of successful candidates. The candidates equally fear that the continued delay in publishing the list of successful ones erodes the little integrity of the selection process, stating that as days go by, the names on the supposed merit list are being substituted with the ones from the back door, mainly political elites and their allies. Hence, the ululation of the hopeful scholars is to stop PTDF from further delay and substitution of names on the list. The mouths of other hopefuls have been left ajar while wondering if the rats that drove the President away from his office have equally invaded PTDF and probably chopped the list. One of the hopefully scholars equally noted with anger, that at the time of application, the applicants were compelled to purchase E-PIN for #1000.00 each before the scholarship portal could be accessed for application, even when scholarship application and other application processes on the portals of government agencies, ministries and departments are usually free. As a result, the scholarship hopefuls have taken to twitter, calling out PTDF to release the list without any further delay and bury their head in shame as a result of their gross ineptitude and lack of sense of responsibility.

Does Buhari want Nigerians alive too? Then, let him resign. He is technically, systematically, physically, emotionally, mentally and morally unfit to preside over Nigeria's affairs. Argue with history and the present economic realities. |
0b100100111:Abeg, find another thing and tell us. This is stale. People are tired of reading this your hard drug rhetoric every time. |
PMB always overplaying his hand. In the history of all IPOB gathering, there is no any evidence or even allegation against them that they harmed anybody neither do they constitute terror. They happily and peacefully gather in their thousands and go back home same way. PMB is here again to heat up the polity. Of all the numerous areas that need PMB's attention and action, his only priority now is Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, cunningly mentioning Boko Haram to appear well-meaning. You cannot beat a child and still stop him from crying. The whole world is watching him. The people you called 5% and by implication negligible want to leave and you're forcing false unity on them. |
Pls, doesn't anyone have any useful information on what's delaying the list or when the list is coming out? You guys should gear this energy to calling out PTDF to publish the list even if the fund or budget is not ready now. Then when they are ready, they can call the successful ones for induction and other stuff later. All these emotional outbursts are completely needless and avoidable. |
komekn:You cannot truly separate majority from democracy. Majority ratifies all democratic ideals and realities too. If he has the majority, he has truly got the force. I don't know why anti-Biafrans always shy away from reality. Who are those that will vote during referendum? Joe Igbokwe, Frank Eze and few others or the multitude following Nnamdi Kanu? Your incoherent narrative is disjointed too. People coerced violently and threatened to join IPOB? Hmm, what an ailing truth! |
Crap. Indeed, Nnamdi Kanu has his brothers first to contend with in his quest for Biafra. Too many of them for that matter. But he has the backing of the majority. |
ok. Who should we ask? Under what terms, conditions, arrangements, treatments and structure did both of you reach that conclusion because I know Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu was not myopic? Why are you revealing this now? The PA Buhari that we know cannot even remember what he said and the conclusions he reached with people just last year let alone the conclusion of a discussion that purportedly held a couple of decades ago. I guess both of you equally concluded that after you finally won the Presidential election in 2015, you should give his people 5% treatment. |
okay |
Chai! This isn't fair. Whether ones name is on the list or not, one ought to have known ones fate by now. I think our patience has been stretched beyond the elastic limit. It's a pity that our leaders are not responsible to us. They throw shits at us and we gladly accept them. Nobody dares question the ugly status quo and to think that some of us make excuses for them is sickening. It's obvious that all is not well and probably the list is yet to be compromised to accommodate all the interested parties satisfactorily, hence the delay. Oh! PTDF, pity for us. Nah beg we dey beg. |
sarrki:Have you seen the receipt of the money allegedly looted by Madueke, Dasuki and co. |
APC Zombies won't believe this, but if it were to be GEJ and his team, they would swallow it hook, line and sinker. |
Suprnov3r:I feel better reading this. Bless you. |
Guys, calm down. I think they are uploading the stuff now on their site as the site is temporarily down now. Cheers. |
Sunnystooth:Bro, your insinuations and what the OP meant are diametrically opposite. He was even advising against choosing a different course in the exam hall from the one originally filled during registration just because the first batch of test takers leaked the questions in their own subject/course. |
yahmaid04:This line of thinking is so annoying. What do you mean? So we should keep quiet amidst this brazen act of corruption in a bid to save the recruitment process from being cancelled? Look, that list is just one of the numerous lists that have been sent to DPR shot callers. The recruitment process from the shortlisting to testing is already flawed. Just because it's a lucrative dept, that's why they are sending lists up and down. Why have we not seen lists sent to NPower? The poor masses can manage that one. The fact that it's become a norm in our system does not legitimize it. The question should be, why can't we organise a near merit-based recruitment exercise without lists flying around at the expense of level playing ground? If they want to cancel it so be it. Most of the candidates have little or no confidence in the system's process while others look up to God for something that God has made man to handle. |

In the event that one luckily succeeds at making the OSS list, can one defer it till January, 2018? |
Nothing is being done to actively stop corruption – Saraki blasts presidency Senate president, Bukola Saraki has chided the presidency for its focus on loot recovery rather than fighting corruption itself. Saraki, while speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, advised the presidency and anti-corruption agencies in the country to pay more attention to destroying corruption and placing emphasis on the recovery of loot. He added that the Senate will work to realign the anti-corruption fight. In his words; “You see, let us separate recovery from the fight against corruption.We still believe that yes, recoveries are being done, but are we doing anything to actively stop corruption going on now.This recovery has gone out there. They are two separate issues.The focus I am seeing is recovery, but corruption is still there.That is the area that we are focusing on as a Senate. Anybody that brings a case about what is happening now, we will go in, look at those agencies and expose them.We want to continue to represent the people in that way.” http://politicsngr.com/2017/08/02/nothing-done-actively-stop-corruption-saraki-blasts-presidency/
