You shouldn't be surprised to see PhD students here. A 20 year old kid can be admitted to PhD straight in the US after finishing college without MSc. And in Nigeria, increasingly many young people with MSc today are going for PhD cos they are no jobs. While it should be expected for them to act more maturedly, it's not a given.

Still, I agree with your comment about the guy comparing people fallaciously and trying to sway people subliminally towards divulging their competitive advantage.

guiddoti:
Don't get me wrong. What I mean was: Hardly you see them here to comment but was surprised seeing them asking questions here. I have been following everything from day one, so I know those guys who have identified theirselves as phd applicants.

mailato:

To the past scholars here:

I would like to know if PTDF pays in advance/reimburses scholarship winners transport fare to and fro Abuja plus accomodation for the orientation program.

Your inputs would be appreciated as some of us scholarship hopefuls wouldn't like to be caught unawares with such impending expenses. Thanks.

CAVEAT: I'm not trying to put the cart before the horse, I'm just a man of Faith who believes he will be shortlisted and is making financial plans because he takes care of his bills. Thanks

Mayflowa:



Accommodation and food for the 3 to 5 days orientation is on PTDF. I don't think there is any transport reimbursing.

Daddy, mummy.. no 1 wants to knw ur research Q n A. We all have our proposals. D questions can never b outside that. Objects of resch methods of rsch and all within our various rsch. I believe pple just wnt to knw hw it was? D panel type? Procedures Nd just friendly chit chat on the interview. We not in a race. Everyone has his lane. Irrespective of ur performance, God has final say. I wish everyone of us his own type of success including success outside ptdf. 1 luv nairaland.

Mayflowa:


What else do you want them to share. A lot of the interview experiences have been shared here already and you really need to appreciate their effort.

Do you expect your competitor, albeit healthy, to give you his bullet for you to cock your gun to kill him? It is will be alter foolishness for them to quote things for you verbatim. Won't you prefer to have the scholarship more than anyone? People came from London and US, spent over a million naira just to do this interview and you expect to give u guidelines to help you prepare right.

If anyone share, all good but no one should be condemned for not sharing. We all are suppose to get into the interview Hall same day to be fair to them

Nobleman4l:
you re not right sir/ma. I have done mine. I see no big deal in telling others of what to experience/expect.

guiddoti:
It is very good that the man who asked the question understand my point. I have shared a point, which to me, is sufficient for anyone to prepare for or know about.Thank you for your understanding.

Adamsfunakaye:
Some human beings are weird. If u guide me on what ur experience was, wil it stop u or me from gaining d scholarship? R we gonna experience d same thing? Ist not just to hr how it went with u so we can wish ourselves luck. Wat sort of human will feel bad telling his fellow abt wat happened to hm during an interview of 1000 pple of wch abt 100 will b selectd? R we in primary skul that u wanna hide ur answers? Wat sort of answers wil U hide? My research is different from urs dfntly. That's childish, thinking we myt be asked d same thing. We don't need any of your Q Nd A's please if you don't intend contributing on this platform. we wish you luck with your bad jealous mind. If ptdf was to b u, I doubt if it will survive to sponsor a human being. Thanks to ptdf for not bn u Nd for giving us opportunity to even apply and pass to b sponsored. Wish all of us good luck. Not all will make it. But life is full of opportunities that we shall all rip. Don't be naive

DeniseKendricks:
I agree with you too...see this thing is very simple...many Nigerians like to be spoon fed....what Mr AdamsFunakaye doesn't understand is the research topic being differnt, is the reason why the Phd scholarship is more competitive, so it's not about being asked the same questions truly, but how well you get them to buy into your own research topic....so if anyone drops a hint of what went on in he's/her own turn, let's be honest, he or she will just help you to be better prepared and stand higher chances than he/she did.......Disclaimer: this is my opinion. If you dont like I advice you just ignore

I have waited patiently and observed some failures or better still inability of some of us to reason through their head or better still deliberately wanna have advantage over others. Honestly speaking, any information feed here is no longer a fair interview because you have added to the people that will be interviewed and they will definitely be better in answering and presenting their proposal. I noticed what happened here during MSc CBT exam, some people came here and gregariously wrote what they were asked and that put them at the disadvantage. Someone who was privileged to have seen the list of shortlisted masters scholars told me that people that wrote late performed extremely well unlike the early birth, and I know what happened because I was here and I saw how they posted their new words and other capitalised on that and became better than them. My point is that asking for a clue in a game of competition and mostly from your competitor is nonsense, its inhuman, stupidity and arrant nonsense. Some of us here are using our mouth in reasoning instead of our head. Anyways for me, I did mine and it was very fantastic and if you want to know how it went and they questions they asked me, please feel free and write me back from saturday 29th July, 2017 after the whole exercise then I will be free to share with you but before the exercise then you are a cheat and wanna take advantage of some myopic and intellectual deluded entity in human skin, thinking purely with their psychotic invariance, some mis-match in their faculty of thought with some element of madness vis-a-vis innuendoted personality of highest degraded animal.

Having said that, go for your own interview like I did, come back here and lets share our own experience for the people that will come here next year. This to me I felt its fair and it is consistence with the natural justice, equity and good conscience and its purely acceptable to the extent of its consistency.
