dodobytes:1. Do they asked questions outside your proposal? 2. If yes, Are the questions on PTDF staffs or PTDF mandates or projects or current affairs. 3. If current affair, is it Nigeria or globally? 4. Do they possibly ask you questions on your area of first degree or Msc? 5. Do they ask for your progress report from your university if you have started PhD already? Thank you. |

Only 1 question outside your proposal, the question is a general question on ptdf. It's as simple as that. No question from your undergrad. Not even a question on your MSc, that's for me oo. It was all about my proposal. Then a ptdf staff will ask you a question about ptdf. Good luck and May God help us on our endeavors. |

I am sorry if you misunderstand me, I am very very sorry again if you couldnt get the point I made in my last post. For some of you that understand the post I say thank you for your kind in-depth thought that brought out your intellectual firmness and open minded reasoning. For those that didnt understand my post I said I am still very very sorry for saying the simplest truth. You might not really like me as a lady, you might not really like the simple truth because it doesnt favour you, you might not really like someone that stands by the truth, that tells the truth, that wants to be honest, that doesnt like cheating and that doesnt wanna agree with your skewed myopic tendencies because of your ability to gain undue advantage over others. I want to categorically state that the TRUTH IS ALWAYS BITTER, but you must accept it because thats just the truth and I cant give less than that. She that speaks the truth is always an enemy to rumour mongers and adherent liars, cheaters, dishonest people and intellectual sagaciousless, bookishless, reasonless, thougtless, and one dimensional quantum mechanical human. I am very sorry, not that what I said hurts, but because the truth you dont wanna accept is hurting you, I am sorry for telling you the truth and I am sorry for not saying what you wanna hear. I am sorry for not giving out clue that will put you at advantage against others, I am sorry for not divulging what transpired in the seat of future changer, I am sorry for your lessness as seen above, and I am sorry for repeating what I stood for and believe in. I have one request to make, yes I mighty be a lady/girl but that doesnt warrant me to allow you to ridicule my academic proficiency, believe and the honest truth because of my gender, just attack my post and win me with superior argument instead of your inferior castigation and back yard back biting. I am your humble and simple Dr. ELLACITY 1 Like |

PutinLavrov: Well, I had mine yesterday under Geo-sciences and computing. I noticed a lot of people where missing. I took my time and introduced myself, the panel were impressed with my MSc degree result. When I was going on with my proposal, I was interrupted and asked what was the benefit of my proposal to the oil and gas industry. I will understand why cos my proposal is core information security. I believe there is only one expert there whose field is software engineering and he was trying very hard to bend my proposal to his field. With the way they reacted to my employment contract with NOUN, I believe they are really after lecturers. I tried to look cheerful through it all. They concluded by asking me the impact of ptdf to the Nigerian economy and if I have gotten admission and where. That was it ooo... 5 Likes 1 Share |

xyzoke: @xyzoke I think the usual trend is that both Msc and Phd awardees list are released together, so I'm guessing nothing will be released until august when the Phd candidates would have concluded, unless the trend has changed. Good thing is they are concluding tomorrow, so the wait shouldn't be long anymore. Just keep calm |

To all the PhD candidates that have been and are yet to be interviewed. I wish you all the very best. 1) Manner of approach matters a lot. As someone once put it, "Attitude is everything", some others said, "Watch your attitude. It's the first thing most people notice about you," and "the little thing that makes a big difference." 2) Also perspective matters a lot. The debate on the "rightness" or "wrongness" of sharing how the interviews went is simply a matter of perspective. A simple change in perspective can make us see the "rightness" in any perceived wrong and/or vice-versa. The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and non-sense, not between right and wrong. -C. G. Jung 2 Likes |

Greetings to all Nairalanders. I wish to thank the brain(s) behind this social, information-packed, educative, and network-enhancing website. It has helped and it is still helping lots of individuals; academia, researchers, artisans and the like. I wish all PTDF scholarship applicants (including myself) a good fortune and success in their expectations whether at local or oversea level; be it MSc or PhD. Thanks to everyone one that commented constructively in order to guide others selflessly. I have followed and analyzed the tones of those that have commented in this forum for quite a while now. I decided to address a particular member of this forum who think that freedom of expression means that anyone can say anything at any time and at any place. I really want to tell whosoever that bear the username ''Ellacity'' that it's really not a good omen for you as an individual to stand out in a group or forum as Nairaland with a general negative remark. Even persons that are not members of this forum whom I allowed the privilege to read your comments can tell who you are (Proud and arrogant). If you are really a lady or girl as you insinuated in your last post; too bad. Please go and learn from Nebuchadnezzar if you think that there is no God. Your attitude and the way you present yourself here indicate one thing; ''afterall I am where I am now because of my ability and hardwork, no one is like me!''. Even if you think you are eloquent, this is not house of parliament; if think you are good in argument, this is not a law court; if you think you are a god, permit me to tell you that even God is not a careless God that uses words as He pleases even when He knows that He can never be wrong. Why can't you address issue with grace? It is written that out of the abundance of heart, the mouth speaks. People make comments here either in support or against several ideas discussed in this forum, no one has ever been as careless in usage of words as you are (Ellacity). If this is the way you relate with your family, neighbours, and peers, it is time you desisted from such ill-attitude. No one says you should not speak against a school of thought which, in your opinion, is not acceptable. But do you have to utilize Hitler's lane in doing so. This is not a war zone. Yes, PTDF scholarship is a competition, but if you do not see it with the eye of sportsmanship, then it is weird. If the achievements of this life is for the most qualified, David would not have been King of Israel. If being ahead of others is attained through arrogance and enmity, Dangote's name would not have been in world's record book of achievers. I could go on and on to tell you that no supervisor would like to supervise a student with such attitude as yours. I am writing to tell you that thousands of persons visiting Nairaland have versions of description for the individual referred to, in this forum, as Ellacity. I am writing to tell you that the race is not for the swift, otherwise squirrel would have been the king of the forest; bread is not for the eater, Oliver Twist knows better. There is always God factor in all that we do in this planet Earth and as such, we must be careful when we interact with others. Before PTDF scholarship we are here, after PTDF scholarship we will still be here. PTDF scholarship is meant for everyone but everyone is not meant for it. WHO GETS IT ![]() ![]() Finally, my sister, there are several ways to drive home your points even when you want to defend your belief without sounding as though you are the owner of the air you breath. Odysseus was made to understand that without God, man is nothing. If you do not have this understanding in you, please seek it and you will surely find it. Finding it will save you a lot of stress and grease your way through the frictions of this life towards achieving your dreams. Good name is better than rubies. Good name and good attitude are of the same parent. Good attitude and human relationship are twins. May God bless you as you see this write-up as a friendly advice. May you live long as you turn to a new leaf. May you achieve your dreams as you encourage others to live to theirs. Thank you to all Nairalanders. 18 Likes |

This PTDF team are so much enthusiastic about lecturers. Well i hope there are no lecturers from my state and they performed poorly in research proposal defence. If they defended well and answer all PTDF questions that was asked, no hope. |

dodobytes:thanks for your advice but I am only being realistic. If the lecturers performed poorly then I have got a good chance. Are u a lecturer ? This is a competition and PTDF scholarship grant is better than others. Many people who are on their studies abroad came to Nigeria spending about a million just to participate in interview? Know how to pass message politely and stop this overreligiousity syndrome. |

Lol. I noticed the bias for lecturers. Your proposal plays a huge part As well. A friend told me about some likely objections to my research proposal because it focuses on energy storage; something not so common among Nigerian researchers. Lo and behold, they asked the same thing. They were even saying why did my school not fund me. It was just funny. usqoh: |
