YahayaAuwal: This is not true. UK insitutuitions don`t have a slice of idea about the list of the awardees and neither PTDF nor anybody reveals the list to them. They only get to know you when you apply. That is why there is a flexibility in the sense that the Fund accepts admission from any affliated UK insitutuition in as much as you have been awarded to study in the UK. It is just like other scholarship bodies. What we need is prove of fund to present to the insittuitions. Your claim is misleading, and it reeks ignorance of how PTDF operates. Sit down, there is a particular agent for one of the universities (whose name I will hold), he/she has access to the list and their contacts when they have been approved (but pending release). He calls the winners and try to convince them with an admission if they are yet to get any at their option schools. I say sit down, stop speaking under misapprehension of how these things work. |

C4123: These are all speculations. The list will be published when PTDF Department of Educational Development is ready. So, I’d advise all applicants to go about their normal businesses until they are invited for induction via an official email. PTDF DED is ready. It will be released Saturday night. |

We don't know, but there are 3 weekends left, and this or next one are the right ones, logically. Because there need to be time for induction and time for visa processing. UK schools resume september. It's coming out Saturday night. |

29Ade07: Are you veeeery sure?Budget is fixed for the year no doubt but accommodating and allocating to different scholars within the fixed budget considering your school, program and country is what I mean. Okay |

29Ade07: Grading and selection does not take time. This I believe is what the panelist do decide at the end of each interview. However, weighing the number of selected winners with respect to the available budget for each year is what I believe takes the bulk of the time. For example, for every selected PhD scholar, the budget prepared will be for the entire three years of study and not just for the first year. This takes some good accounting and planning. In addition some winners who might be candidates of strong politicians will also be provided for. This does not hinder or reduce the merit candidates who went through the entire process. Factoring all these in will not make you anxious. However, I believe the result will be released this month. Financial planning happens at the beginning of the period not when the issue have already materialized. At this stage, I think it's just ratification. All the best to everyone. |

Marianwao: Info has it that it may be release this weekend or next weekend at most. This is legit. Goodluck everyone It's just 2 weeks, even ratification could take a week due to bureaucracy. I think the earliest will be the weekend of 15th, but I lean towards it being released on the 22nd. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: ISREAL and the LIES that made the DIFFERENCE by MEERLEEQ: 8:51am On Apr 24, 2024*. Modified: 7:01pm On Apr 25, 2024 |
Matildahenshaw: Isreal has a long history of lieing through its teeth (like when they killed Shireen Abu Akleh) and the US and its allies in the EU have the history of believing or whatever lie sold.
Remember 40 beheaded babies? It was a big fat lie that never happened. It was meant to trigger so much empathy and anger so they can justify the genocide still ongoing. The world ate it up, and even the President of the USA, stood on the podium and repeated this lie saying he saw it with his own eyes (oh sure, something that never happened)
https://theintercept.com/2023/12/14/israel-biden-beheaded-babies-false/
Then there is Al shifa hospital where Isreal lied that is Hamas headquaters to justify an indiscriminate invation that killed 100s of people.. What proof did they show the world during? 5 pieces of makeshift weapons and a paper on the wall, claiming Hamas use the wall paper to write list of all the people it has killed. As you would have guessed, the said paper was just a calender containing the different days of the week in arabic.
https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20231116-idf-claims-to-find-list-of-hamas-names-but-it-s-the-days-of-the-week-in-arabic
Then, they claim the intentional targetting of the WCK employees was not deliberate nor intentional and they had thought a terrorist was inside the car. Yet, the WCK shared their cordinates with the IDF before starting the journey, followed the approved route provided by the IDF, informed the IDF when the very first precision missile hit the first car. But, the IDF still use the same precision missile to attack all 3 cars until all 7 people were killed. The killing of this 7 innocent beautiful humans sent more reaction in the west than the 30,000+ palestinians killed so far.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-aid-convoy-strike-what-happened-and-who-were-the-victims
Also, the New york times released an Oped about a mass rape that hamas committed on OCT 7. This Oped spread like wildfire. However, the alleged victims cited in that OPED said it never happened, other victims didn't exist, the report itself was written by a formal IDF member, and no scrutiny was done before its release.
https://theintercept.com/2024/03/04/nyt-october-7-sexual-violence-kibbutz-beeri/
In addition, Isreal claimed that 12 UNRWA employees supported Hamas in carrying out the attrocities of OCT 7. This was just a day after the ICJ ruling, and was done with the intention to shift public focus. Immediately, the USA, UK, EU, Canada and Australia stopped all aids to UNRWA citing that accusation. Its been months and Isreal has provided zero evidence to support this claim, to the extent that many of the countries have resumed the funding to UNRWA because they found that Isreal lied once again.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/22/israeli-allegations-of-unrwa-staff-links-to-terrorism-cost-aid-agency-dearly
The EU and USA have currently imposed several sanctions on Iran for invoking legitimately article 51 of the UN charter for self defense on Isreal. But this same people have done NOTHING to Isreal except provide lip service while sending billions worth of aids to continue supporting genocide.
The Security council resolution has and will always be binding according to the UN charter , but US said it was non binding when it abstained to allow the Ramadan ceasefire pass through. Also, US keep saying they support a 2 state solution, YET they were the only one to Veto the recent UN resolution to admit Palestine as a full member.
https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/world-news/our-interpretation-of-unsc-resolution-on-gaza-cease-fire-non-binding-us-state-dept/videoshow/108823766.cms
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/19/blatant-aggression-reactions-to-us-veto-of-palestines-un-membership-bid
Remember the quote? "for my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law". The level of double standard and hypocrisy is ludicrous.
Hamas committed war crimes, Isreal committed 100 times that. If you say the actions of Hamas justifies this disproportionate and collective punishment on Innocent civilians and erasing every infrastructure, then the attrocities done by Isreal for the past 76years also justified october 7. If it doesn't, then the former also doesn't.
Humanity First, Differences Later. the amount of propaganda from Isreal is shocking. When people own the information, they bend it all they want. |

Nairaland General › She Got A Bill Of £50,000 Bill After Posting A Photo Of Her Meal On Social Media by MEERLEEQ(op): 8:57pm On Dec 08, 2023 |
It has become the norm for restaurant diners to take a quick photo of their meal and post it on social media before tucking in. But for one woman in China, her decision to post a picture of her dinner on the Chinese app WeChat proved disastrous – and her lunch date with a friend quickly turned into one of nightmares. When the time came to pay her bill at a hotpot restaurant in Kunming, south-west China, the woman was horrified to find that she had been landed with a bill for £50,000 (430,000 Chinese Yuan). The woman, who has only been identified by her surname Wang, realised with horror that in the photos she had posted online, she had accidentally included the QR code that was stuck to her table, reported the South Morning China Post. Within minutes of her posting the pictures on WeChat – and while she was catching up with her friend – some of her contacts on the app quickly began scanning the code and ordering an extortionate amount of food to her table. The trolls ordered a staggering 1,850 portions of fresh duck blood, 2,580 portions of squid and 9,990 portions of shrimp paste, according to a screenshot of the bill. The staff at the restaurant, seeing the huge order, apparently decided to confirm the bill with Ms Wang before they sent out all of the food – and that's when she realised her error. She quickly deleted her post but the restaurant continued to be inundated with orders during the incident last month. Thankfully for a flustered Ms Wang, the restaurant did not make her pay the extortionate bill and moved her to a new table while ignoring all the new orders made by the QR code. The staff said they had tried to track down the people who ordered the food to no avail. Ms Wang said it was a learning experience and called for increased awareness of how QR codes can be used maliciously. And the restaurants has since changed its ordering system so that customers are only able to place an order if they are within a certain distance of the building https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12841753/Woman-hit-50-000-restaurant-bill-posting-photo-meal-social-media.html

People that often got deflowered at 10 and still wear hijab abi na wetin dem dey call am. If you know the atrocities committed under the masquerading attire, you go shock to bone marrows.
Back to choristers, the ones that annoy me most are the ones that would sleep over in a guys place on a Saturday night, suck and Bleep dick but still wake up for Church ONLY to end up receiving Holy Communion. What an unremorseful gender we've got there!
You and your girl wey you bang tdb go go Church together, and you as a guy will sit down out of guilt during Holy Communion only to see your babe confidently and magnetically walk up to the altar like St. Theresa of Child Jesus, for Holy Communion. Tufiakwa! I confronted one the other day and she told me that she didn't commit any sin because, it was her boyfriend she had sex with, I shock! Then I asked her, when did boyfriend and girlfriend stuff become legal marriage?
Abeg! Happy Sunday to umu Chineke! You know you can still pass your points about some muslims been bad including the Imams (and you will be right, they are humans afterall and many are also hypocrites) without having to result to name calling and resorting to muslim ladies dress as masquerade.

As usual, just wait for the tribal bigots to come and derail the topic.
If this country will see a bad thing and condemn and work towards improving it, we won't be in the mess we are today. People only condemn things if its done by other tribes, and condole it if its their person or people that does it. This also play a part in our politics, our education and our way of life.

Nairaland General › Re: ‘terrorism’: Israel-hamas Conflict Has Gone ‘beyond War’ Says Pope Francis by MEERLEEQ: 8:28am On Nov 24, 2023 |
Terrorism is only reserved for people of darker skin and alleged muslims.
Isreal's 75 years+ aparthy, occupation and killings - God's land and choosen people Isreal's calculated attack on palestinian population - Defending itself USA's genocide in Iraq - they have weapons of mass destruction (which was never found anyway) Hate crime and killings by White people - The culprit is mentally unstable Benjamin quoting Amalek from the bible to justify genocide - Silence Isreal bombimg Church - Silence
What Hamas did was horrible, but the isreali govt is no different.
The muslims celebrating Isreali civilians murder are horrible, just as some of the christians celebrating palestinian murder are as well.

Free2Fly: That your muslim neighbour or friend is also either directly or indirectly supporting terrorism, which they see as jihad.
Stop defending nonsense.
Jihad is one of the 5 pillars of Islam and every muslim is obligated to take part in it, either directly or indirectly.
Have the killers of Deborah been prosecuted so far, if you think the rest of muslims don't support killings and terrorism?
The same idiots in the north that couldn't defend her nor protest on her behalf are today protesting on behalf of the Palestinian terrorists, just because they share this same evil religion.
Millions of people all over the world have perished in the hands of the evil practitioners of this particular religion.
Which other religion preaches killing of "unbelievers"?
Islam is a cancer to the world and it becomes more annoying when idiots like you jump out to defend them either due to ignorance or in a bid to observe religious correctness. You are intolerant, hateful, ignorant, rude and morally bankrupt. I haven't insulted you once before this, but you are quick to show your colours to anyone who disagree with you. Whatever floats your boat. I won't throw people like you another mention. Nobody has killed people more than USA (Millions killed in Vietnam and Iraq for lies) or you don't know? Islam wasn't the cause of World war 1 nor 2, Or you don't know? Islam isn't invading Ukraine or you don't know? And its not A muslim quoting Bible and Amalek as an excuse to murder the innocent of Palestine (not the terrible Hamas, the innocent) or is it? Or is it islam quoting a religious book to kill and occupy and impose aparthy on a nation for decades or is it? Or is it islam killing muslims in Jos plateau State (Oh wait the media won't cover that), Or is it muslims setting thieves on fire for petty crime in the southeast and SouthSouth? Or islam the reason for the high level of ritual in the SouthEast? Or is Islam that is making IPOB rape and kill some people in the SouthEast, Do you know about the several crusade on the middle east by Christian nations? Or its only islam own you borthered to read?. Just shut the Bleep up and stop spreading hate.
