Sinkhole please come. This week has ended and we're still as we were.

Yes, I got this. Perhaps next communication will come after July 11th. I got this mail after submitting. What do they mean by "those who qualify" and "next phase"? Is the next thing not award letter?

Kaiair:
Una vc dey smoke

Eh

sinkhole:
concrete date like that prophet? You may not get that, but soon and very soon, we shall all see the Lord

sinkhole:
Better go dey look for your books, schools are resuming very very soon!

Soon no de finish with ASUU and FG wahala. We want concrete date

Voldoz:
Am not sure but I know for sure the strike will be called off soon. My problem now is not the end of strike but the workload waiting for me in school.

Omo ehn. All the assignments I shelved as soon as they announced strike and na exam period be this

Okay o. Let's wait

Hannania:
Ohhh, that was you I never thought it was...let me know if the reply was not Apt.

It's me o. From our total days reply was very apt

Hannania:
Yeah, but I don't have an MSC yet, which would increase my points. Besides, if one of the tech firms hires me, it's a direct route.

Also, considering the rejection in Canada now, the fastest route is to migrate to a European country that gives residence visas for up to a year, then apply to Canada. Your visa is 100%. Estonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Denmark, Ireland, or even Asian countries(far cheaper with just 2m such as South Korea, India and Taiwan).

Apart from China and India, Nigeria has become the third most competitive applicants in Canada. As a said, it's always thoughts with leverage.

I sent you a mail

Wallflower01:
New

Okay thanks

Wallflower01:
I heard UI got paid today. Any other school?

New or old?

Voldoz:
Good day Nairalanders
and as for NANS those guys are just another political party.

Hannania:
As it stands, my main aim now is to get an interview with Google, Amazon, palantir, Goldman Sachs, Circus, Lexre, and most importantly Microsoft, to get a sponsored visa for a role as a software engineer.

If that delays(i'm very hopeful), I'll go for the sure banker scholarships, which are school specific scholarships that most people don't dig into.

Due to diversity, just chose a uni with a very low black populace, and apply. America has 4000 universities, and Nigerians have never applied for close to 2000.

Same in Europe, those nations uni with department-specific scholarships.

Get it, and secure my Japa plans. The power of leverage has brought me this far.

Wow wow wow! Your posts de always motivate me. You and that tensa guy. Japa remains the goal!

But have you checked out the express entry Thread?

Doesn't it take two to tango?

Hannania:
I forgot you're going for MSC .

Oya(facts), it's better than Chevening, Commonwealth and Total abroad scholarship. Not combined this time around.

That's in the aspect of freedom, criteria and isolated competition based on the state level. Equal in par and surpass most in remuneration

When ASUU never release me. Who am I to apply for msc when I don't even know my year of graduation?
freedom not to return
What you said about competition is true. I checked my state from that link you posted earlier and there were only 4 girls out of the 20. I think there was a state with 10 awardees instead of 20. I was sha happy to see statistics, biochem and some other kin courses there. At least let me have hope with my Economics as I no do engineering
As at last year, there was no Commonwealth for msc for Nigerians.. only at phd level. But Commonwealth and Chevening na die. After requiring 2 years worth of work experience to apply, you'll still return to your fatherland for 2 years

Hannania:
For LSS, the list is same.

Concerning the listing, what PTDF can't do, does not exist. You need extreme patience. But for the fact it's more than MTN, Total and Chevron and Shell combined, makes it worth the wait.

Thanks Boss

unity004:
Good morning fellas, my interview panel yesterday at PTDF tower abuja didn't ask for my professional membership. They were only interested in my MSc project and how it relate to oil and gas industry. I totally forget to call their attention to it but I have uploaded it on the Ptdf scholarship portal. Is there a chance they could have seen it on the portal?

Nothing you can do again. You're not the only one that wasn't asked. On the oss thread, someone mentioned it too

Dtruthspeaker:
The lies and deceits planted in education so that people become stupid and lose focus on what they are supposed to be doing.

First what is my business with Bako and his mother's age? I don't have any business with them.

Of what use and relevance and profit is this? Even American embassy do not calculate this to know your age.

The simple thing is to ask, what is your age? And what is your mother's age. And birth certificates and school certificates and other things will take of all this none sense..

No! Not none sense but a wicked deception meant to make you follow the distraction in sleight of hand.

As every grown up has seen, no one has ever used this shit, not even detectives.

And maths had plenty of these and they are meant to keep us busy doing a nullity, which is why people have come to say education is a scam.

I say the education they give is preparing us to be scammed. It is a case of using the Truth as the vehicle for delivering lies.

Nobody is about to ask you this type of question in real life. However, you learn maths for the transferable skills it teaches you (logical, critical and problem solving skills).

Hannania:
During my visit to the tower last year, the Secretary told us clearly of their intentions to do away with OSS.

That's why they increased Lss to 20 per state for undergraduates, and 15 for PHD and MSC.

Woah! 20 per state! Nice! No extra for oil producing states?

_{from historical evidence, it seems award list usually comes out a year after applications. What do you think of this? July should make it a year since I applied.}

PTDF boss

Hannania:
For OSS, it's mostly four, plus extra slot for oil states.

Last year, the number was 6 because their was no list for 2020 due to corona. PTDF are gradually taking their focus to LSS, as the OSS is not sustainable.

In 3years time, they might cancel the OSS scheme.

Ohhhh. I think this person is asking for lss. I don't think there has been any call for lss after your set.
That OSS sucks money truly. Imagine the cost per head especially for UK people

ademolayem:
how many awardees per state

I believe its 5/6 per state plus extra 2 for oil producing states.

WatchYourSix:
Wait.....how did a stranger she ddnt know or want anything to with successfully kiss her on the side of her face...Her neck and briefly on her lips.....?? His he flash??



When them say make you fear woman..e get why

It's like you've not seen how some men grab women in the market then when the girls shrug them off, they say degrading things about them. He probably left with that mentality.

Hannania:
well, if he didn't, they'll force him to, or even shoot him. Then frame him as a terrorist as they claim. The atrocities Nigerian Security forces can carry out, is beyond imaginable.

Fact is; not only the security forces. Its because some citizens decided not to buy their ticket the normal legal way. There's no supply without demand. Its a pity the depths this country has fallen to.

Clonelord:
Politicians embezzled money
ASSU went on strike
This lady left school and went home
She decided to work at a shawarma spot
She was stabbed to death..

Who killed her pls??

Politicians or the robbers

Polithieficians killed her. If they didn't embezzle, ASUU wouldn't be on strike, those robbers would've had something to keep them busy or unemployment benefits to hold body and soul. Also, police would've responded quickly and ambulance would've been called. But the system has been and is still being looted even to the point of borrowing in the system's name and looting it.

They should sha bring the robbers to justice first. Na dem be direct culprits. There's no excuse for murder

So much anger in one post the first comment says: BAT is a bat, I say bat will suck you and Tinu.bu's mouth. Madness!

limanattairu:
My friend it's best u remove ur interest bcus even if u are offered they will no pay you, a case study of my bro and a senior from my Dept

That's not true. Did your brother and senior get award letter? There are so many people that have gotten in their finals. Let's not discourage anybody.

Hannania:
Sadly, they might get away with it.

They've already gotten away with it. Corruption is endemic in this country.
The man shouldn't have agreed to delete the photos initially. That's what gave those officials morale to harass him. "Madness" is the most effective way... as long as its bright out o and plenty people are there. Or making the video in a coded manner not with flash on and loud voice-over (if that's what he was doing).

Wallflower01:

muyico:
my daughter is 11yrs and she ve nt strt anytinz yet! Still in her play play ages

So? Your daughter alone is not enough to generalise.

Hannania:
There's no list. Those short-listed get mails. If you don't see, you were not shortlisted. Only the final awarded names come with a list.

No there's a list for shortlisted oss candidates on ptdf website.. though the list came long after the mails
