Hello everyone, I trust we are all doing fine so far in this New year. Special thanks to the originator of this thread @ feelamong.
I have painstakingly followed this thread from page 1 up till the last page from mid 2017 till this day and I can say that I have learnt a whole lot from here that I might not be able to learn in any conventional school. Knowledge gathered here spured me to be more prudent in my finances and focus on learning how to preserve and grow money in other to secure a good future for myself. Immense gratitude to all who have shared useful insights as regards the subject matter and other relevant information. I have so much knowledge that some of my friends that work in banks ask me how I know so much about treasury bills..
Even though I had a failed attempt at purchasing my first treasury bill today at @gtbank where they said that the secondary market tbill is not available for today(not usually available every day) and could not also transfer my money to another bank because my account was restricted. From the little I could see and as have been confirmed here most staff of some banks have little knowledge as to how tbills work. Armed with the information gathered from this thread I was able to defeat the pessimistic vibe of todays' event and determined to succeed in my attempt next week.
Thank you all for the knowledge shared. I am grateful to you all.

Scholastica16:
PTDF stage Two

...Ater consulting all consultables I applied to Iowa State University. I was conflicted initially because the app fee was $100 and I had limited time but something told me to press on and I did. Exactly 7 days after the grad prog directed emailed me to say 2 Professors saw my profile, liked it and wanted to have a Skype Interview with me. That interview was scheduled few days after his email and I spoke with a very intelligent CALTECH grad of a Professor for something like 18mins. At the end of that chat, he told me straight-up that he wanted to work with me. That is the summary of how I got into Iowa State.

I am regarded as a scholarship-sponsored research assistant because I have a federal government award but I feel all will change after a semester when I start getting extra funding from the school themselves. The Professor I work with is well-funded by the National Science foundation so that also backs my thought-process. But I digress....

I have to abridge this story and cut out the part were I turned accountant and carried out a thorough analysis of the tuition and fees in a way I could present it to PTDF without it being rejected. I got to their towers on the 19th of November, submitted my admission letter and got it approved together with being issued my Proof of funding and award letter between that day to the 22nd. The simple fact is it was not as easy as I am presenting it here: There were days of frustration as PTDF refused to offer any scholar going to the US more than an 18-month stipend. The good thing being, the stipend as it were, can take care of one for 2 years without the burden of lab work and teaching that TAs and RAs are saddled with.

Let me also chip in that the scholarship has changed alot from last year to the one I benefitted from. For instance, there used to be a one-off payment for warm clothing, a laptop and cutlery but all that was removed from the award letter. US scholars used to get 24-month stipends (in fact, PTDF used to adjust the stipend depending on the state one was travelling to) but they stopped that this year. Even getting them to give you the 18-month allowance was a heavy bargain which even turned depressing for some others. By the time you experienced the cold shoulder treatment in Abuja, you'd have simply realized that all those big school ambitions via them would have been a pipe dream. I pray for those aiming for it this year (may your struggles be less).

The UK scholars, most of whom travelled in Sept/Oct did not get a dime from PTDF till November. People had to fend for themselves till money was released 2 and for others 3 months later. On the whatsApp group we created, there was alot of weeping and gnashing of teeth that one wondered if the scholarship was worth it at all. In actual fact, the happiest days of acquiring the scholarship are the days you saw your name on the list and perhaps after getting your first payment tranche. The inbetweens are not for the faint-hearted.

It won't also be fair to them if I do not add that atleast they also reimburse your SEVIS, Visa fees and any medical tests you take prior to applying for the visa or in a bid to completing your registration. They will also handle your insurance, books and supply if you are smart enough to invoice it to them. Lest I forget, they pay for your flight too and for those who travelled in December and saw those humongous figures, I am sure you'd have wished you had the scholarship at that point in time. Looking back, I would prefer to get my scholarship and funding fully from the school as those one's have value for you more than PTDF or any other scholarship body in Nigeria. But that is my own honest opinion.

facts

I have never seen a generation of youths as useless as some of these community touts in rivers state

For a change, let's forget what men think or say. You as a babe, are you satisfied with having several sexual partners? If you're satisfied, then fu<ck what they think and keep fu<king. The thing no get meter sef, na you go use your hand set the mileage

....but if you're overly bothered about what they think,then the answer you seek lies within you.

Not every man likes virgins though.

Hhehehe! You will get many likes for this and also a handful of guys that share your opinion.
But ( am assuming you are not a virgin) most guys that share your sentiment on this matter if left to choose between you and a virgin in reality for marriage ( assuming equal love for you and the virgin) wld most definitely go for the virgin.

I suppose they speak Yoruba, but what does that have to do with ethnic group?

You speak English, does that make you English?

Jabba people of Kaduna, the Margi of Borno, they speak Hausa, but does that make them Hausa?

Scottish, Irish and Welsh indigenes speak English, but these people are not and can never be English

So, assuming someone is of a certain tribe based on the language they speak is an erroneous assumption.

Overtime, a majority in certain parts of the country have overrode the minority so much that the minority end up conversing in a majority language. But that will never make them identify with those people

Aite thanks. I wasn't trying to argue with you just wanted to know more

safarigirl:
There is an ethnic group in Badagry called Egun. Lagos is not an ethnic group, Yoruba people are not the only occupants of South West.

There are Egun people in Badagry, they are NOT Yoruba.

Hausa/Fulani are not the only ethnic group in Northern Nigeria, so if I'm Kaduna, it doesn't make me Hausa.

There is a differencw between one's State of Origin and Ethnic group.

Miyonce is Egun, not Yoruba. Na Yoruba Twitter talk am

Okay. What language do they speak?

safarigirl:
lol, Association of Yoruba Demons don disowm Beyonce since.

He's not Yoruba, he's from Badagry, that makes him Egun

I am not understanding ! Is badagry not in Lagos or is badagry a state on its own dat is not in d South West region
