The competition is within my state. Not the whole country

Lol, I don't mean to insult but I cant believe someone can be this stupid,

Do you know how many people from your state viewed the thread? or those who viewed the thread and passed the info to those from your states. Now do the maths, those guys will definitely do better than you. Do you think you still stand a chance? grin

Sincerely, I believe the test was just for formalities. I wrote at the Abuja center and the lady (Am certain she is HAUSA) that sat by my right was not settled at all, she kept looking over her shoulders everytime and watching out if the attendants were approaching. I had to ask her if she came in with a Calculator but she said no and gave a sardonic smile. I later discovered she was solving the English questions and within 20mins she was almost done (Mehn, I was baffled but I had to face my work since I dont know for sure what was going on). Not too long after, she was speaking Hausa to one Crossed eyed dude sitting few seats from her and they both laughed. I knew something was going on mehn but I dont know how to place it. It was after the exam my Friend (Female, Hausa, Malo) gisted me her own ordeal that the dude sitting next to her (Hausa) finished his English in 15mins and was beckoning her to copy his since he realised she has their identity. Lets look at it, this is the first time we had the most Papazzazi: Camera men everywhere taking as much pictures as they can, at a point I had to cover my face, recording videos and running interviews like we were at the proper award presentation self (Trying to imagine the kinda stunt they will pull at the award presentation). They are trying to depict transparency where as they had done the permutation underground. Look at the English section, they decided to hype the number to 100 and made it ridiculously tougher since they know their candidates had the English section already, who is fooling who. So while we hustle with trying to score the Maximum 50 from our area of specialisation and then add as more scores as we can manage to get from English, this fuckstards (Sorry for that word but this is really annoying) will earn the maximum 100 from English and the add up some marks from their area of specialisation (do the maths).

To be sincere, I am disappointed in this Country and in the message of Change this Government preaches. I hope this gets to the necessary authority because we cannot continue like this as a Country. Nepotism will take us no where but further damage us. Please if you had the same experience as mine, kindly share. I wish I realised early that those Hausa dudes (especially the lady that sat beside me) had the leak (but who could have imagined that), woulda confronted her and used her as a scapegoat. useless fools.

I am no attacking any tribe, I only shared what I experienced at the Abuja center which is really disheartening.

In all, I thank my exam went well grin grin



mehn this is very sad.

we all come here to complain as if we are saints, i bet most of you guys complaining would have fall a victim if you wrote with the later batches..... i wrote at Chamscity Abuja and the irregularities was an ad infinitum...... in-fact if flexisaf should punish any among the test takers, it should be the batch A (8.00M), because they started it all.. while i was in the queue, those guys came out with loads of copied words, in-fact they'll even give it to you even if you don't ask for it. the worst of all was that the security agents were all there watching without even making an attempt to curtail the menace.... and to my surprise, some guys are so naive by sharing the questions among those from there states ........... despite how tough the exam was, people still have the time to copy out those words when one can actually utilize that time to meditate well.....

Your first sentence is rather an antithesis of the last, and shouldn't have been uttered at all. Let us all unite and call a spade a spade. This scholarship should be by merit but from the look of things, many people who merit this scholarship this year may not get it. But my case is different.

This is disheartening! How can we now prove that hardwork pays? It's tough!

But,

Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne,—
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.

Seriously this exam ws supposed to be cancelled. The flexisaf guys messed up the Merit of the whole system.
What I saw In Abj yesterdy was discouraging and terrible. How could everyone write same set of questions in a batch exam?
I saw a lady with Complete List of every word they ask in that exam, studying them before she entered.

I sincerely feel like this exam should be repeated, maybe on just our intending courses, with No two candidates writing the same questions, with a better consultant not Flexisaf....sincerely that's the only way to get those that Merits the scholarship... Many might not agree with writing the test again, but from where I stand i'll prefer this one is cancelled and a proper one conducted.

Very bad, DMainMan, what do you think of this year's process. Is there a way this can be escalated to the right authorities.

from leaked questions to complaints of incomplete questions, or some sections of the exam not even being able to open at all. Gas turbine questions under Energy system, Geothermal under Gas turbine. This should be by far the worst ptdf exam conducted.

Why would ur set leak exam to other set. Ain't they for same competition. However, it is hard to leak the 2nd part of the test and that mostly determines who wins.

In oversea, test are even written online and graduate test takers tend to be fair and dusciplined!

Wow! There is no justice then. Surely many of the test takers were disadvantaged! What if they make the English carry the bulk of the score since there were few errors with that and most of us were on the same page on that except those who cheated?

I think i should mention, after much restrain, that you and others carrying this notion are in a sorry state of mind, with due respect. And i hope you will give chance to people who still have faith in the system to adequately prepare for the exam. Many of these people here will appear on next year's trend discussing on how to write the test again not because it is rigged but they kept rigmarolling instead of having 'just a little faith on the system, no thanks to the quoted text on this message. You must agree with me that the list brought out by Ptdf is merit ( about 175 of them). If the problem is how manage there are more people than 175 being sent for study, then maybe u need to know more. Ptdf scholarship board is a channel for awarding nysc presidental scholarship, tetfund, pressid of blessed memory and federal government scholarship or so. In as much as i agree with you in airing your opinion, i hope i have convinced a few people who would rather have been discouraged by comments like this. The system still works.


bro, what do you have to say about the complains?

This is just rubbish. I'm angry because I wasted my time and money for this. I knew the whole thing was already bleeped up when I found out that there were people without pins that came to write the exams, now I'm hearing of leaked questions and other annoying things. I know they have already selected their candidates. Funny enough na the money from we wey pay they go carry give those people wey no pay the scholarship sef. This is so unfair and something needs to be done about it.

Well PH where I wrote people did not have that time to start communicating after the exam. It was like finish and go home. Moreover many candidates frown their faces as they come out mostly complaining about the Eng. questions. Calculators and phones were not allowed anywhere near the exam hall. I think it will be difficult for any one to share any meaningful hints that could assist anybody that was yet to write the Eng exam in particular. It would have been better that multiple questions were set for each batch than trying to prevent malpractice and set archaic Eng. questions for people to answer. Well, lets hope for the best by the grace of God.

Enugu centre ( FGC E-Library) was the best centre. There was only one batch (8am) which started at exactly 8:01am. Am surprised and sad at the same time hearing this leak of a thing. PTDF/FLEXISAF should conduct proper investigation so that they don't neglect candidates that put in 100% effort in preparing for the exam...

PH center divided those writing by 8am into two different sets (because of the small capacity of the center designated for the test). The first set finished around some minutes after 10am before the next set started... All these while, those writing by 11am were waiting outside. You can imagine the level of leaks and expos they had before going in.
I was among the first set that took the test by 8am that's why I'm pretty sad about the development.
It just isn't fair at all!

I'm telling you, we didn't have such problems in Enugu at all. All these complains about leakages and batch A showing batch B questions is foreign to me and saddening too.
