THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Following the recent disenfranchisement of the nigerian graduates by the PTDF Overseas scholars Scam (OSS), it has become imperative that the voice of truth be reveberated. I just discovered a misnomer in one of the supposed succesful candidates. The last candidate on that list with no 363 has no records at all with the ptdf site (ptdf.cinfores.com).
I ran her surname on the status check and could not match her other details with the names that came on. Her first degree course of study and intending course were missing on the list peresented. so how come she was shortlisted for the award????????
House pls check this out!!!!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
It is quite unfortunate that things like this still happen in this country. Well, you may try to resonate this shameful act via public media but believe me, they always have a way of justifying themselves.

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Atleast we can try.
Lets start something cos most people have no idea the level of corruption in the scholarship system in Nigeria.
When parents here this bad news they shout and wonder what has become of this country.
If people are made aware of this, and they start making a noise about it like they do with POWER and PETROLEUM sectors, then maybe the Education Ministry will make a policy that will checkmate these corrution in the scholarship awards.
The energy is within us...we need ideas and sugestions on how to carry out this fight.
I AM 100% STAKING MY HEAD IN THIS COS MY FUTURE IS AT STAKE HERE!!!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
GUYS...I must say this is really painful and disgraceful.
I have been pondering all day, because the test was really eazy for me n this is my second time writing.
We could actually put up evidences, come together and fight this thing through. Even if nobody listens, at least they will know we are not fools.
But, if we are resolute enough, we could become game changers in this country...Same thing happens even in recruitment schemes, especially those related to govt. parastatals. GOD HELP US ALL.

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Great Nigerian graduates, it is true that we have a point to prove, but the annoucement that was made on the network news stated that ptdf have had backlog of scholars who couldn't make it last year. They were adjugded successful, but due to, what best known to them, they were not able to proceed on the scholarship and the number was said to be 70.
Permit me to say this that some of the names that their details could not be ascertained could have come from this 70. It's just an assumption in asmuch as I know the country we come from.

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
WHOSOEVER WANTS TO MAKE A NEGATIVE COMMENT ON THIS BLOG WILL HAVE HIS COMMENTS DELETED AS WE CAN SEE...AND IF REPEATED WILL HAVE HIS ACCOUNT DELETED ALSO.
LIKE I SAID IF YOU SUPPORT THIS COURSE FORWARD ME YOUR DETAILS (EMAIL, YIM, BBM, ETC) SO I CAN MEET WITH OR TALK TO YOU PRIVATELY AND SEE HOW WE CAN GET WORD OUT. EVEN IF THEY ARE ABROAD AND WORD COMES OUT IT WOULD SHOW THAT WE TRIED AND NEXT YEAR, THE RIGGING PROCESS WILL NOT BE SO OPEN.
I AWAIT YOUR NAMES AFTER WHICH WE CAN GATHER ALL THE EVIDENCE WE HAVE...I ALSO HAVE MINE.
IT MIGHT INTEREST YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT AFTER I MADE CALLS TO THE PTDF COORDINATOR (08085257984) STATING THAT AGGRIEVED CANDIDATES WILL PUT UP A PETITION, MOST INFO ON THEIR SITES HAVE CHANGED...WITH SOME INFORMATION I GOT I HAD LOGGED INTO THE ACCOUNTS OF SOME SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES AND FOUND ANOMALIES, BUT AS I SPEAK THE "APPLY" TAB HAS BEEN DISENGAGED AND NOW IT SAYS 'APPLICATION HAS CLOSED'
THIS DOESNT DISCOURAGE MY INTENTIONS AND LIKE I SAID...PRIVATELY FORWARD TO ME DETAILS TO REACH YOU WITH SO WE CAN BRAINSTORM ON HOW TO MAKE OUR POINT.
GOD BLESS!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
@ubessien
following your train of thoughts, if actually there was a backlog then they should clearly demarcate it from the list of shortlisted scholars for this year. There must have been a budget for the scholars of last year and thus should not affect the number for this year. However how were they rated and why the need to publish their names since they are already aware of thier succes...just thinking aloud
@p of p
Do you find my language bad? or maybe I miss understand your point. If the mention of names is offensive... I think it should not be since the list is published for everyone to see and not a secret discovery that people cannot verify. Well all the same...we shall get to the roots of this matter.
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
THERES A NAME FROM MY STATE THAT IS CURRENTLY SERVING IN KEBBI STATE...ETC, IF WE'RE SERIOUS WE CAN MAKE THEM EXPLAIN;
1. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUDGET FOR THE GUYS THAT DIFFERED LAST YEAR
2. THE REASON WHY THE NUMBER SHORTLISTED WAS 363 AS AGAINST 500 EARLIER STATED
3. WHAT IS ALSO THE REASON SOME CURRENT SCHOLARS ARE BEING OWED MONTHLY STIPENDS SINCE OCTOBER LAST YEAR...
THERES A LOT THIS MOVE WILL EXPOSE AND TRIGGER...ATLEAST THE PAIN OF COOKING UP LIES TO TELL THE PUBLIC IN THEIR DEFENCE WILL LET THEM REALISE THAT NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARE GRADUALLY WAKING UP AND HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR, WE'L EITHER SEE A FREER SELECTION OR A MORE SOPHISTICATED SELECTION TO ALLOW FOR A MORE SOPHISTICATED RIGGING...ATLEAST LETS DO SOMETHING...AND NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME!!!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Posterity will not forgive us if we do nothing about an open evil like this.
WE MUST ALL ARISE TO THIS COURSE...LET NO MAN'S HEART FAIL HIM... WE START TO LIVE WHEN FOR DEATH WE FEAR NO MORE!
I sponsor a motion that the Global Moderator be our man to lead us to this promised land with outlined modalities.
My sugeestions are:
- Stick a post to the top of the blog about this movement for some period of time , welcoming everyone's observation about the last PTDF OSS
- We shall collectively lend our voice to the matter on the floor and make it a front burner
We are not too optimistic of changes for today but I sure want the future to be bright for our children and generations yet unburn!
May our voice be heard afar off o lord of the struggle!

How long must we wait before things will be done in the right way.
WE MUST DO SOMETHING.!!!!!!!!!!Some day we shall be sung " ...the labours of our heroes past"

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
@acemmanuel2002...I guess you didnt see my post on one of the other blogs regarding the ptdf exams.
My family knew about my intentions to take up the issue and asked me to rescind from them. I feel very sad repeating this but its the truth.
My intentions (which I would be too glad to see materialise) were to get facts and draft a very detailed and serious petition to the ptdf office, copying the Presidency, the National Assembly, TV and Radio houses, Newspaper corporations and every anti-corruption agency we can think of (Local and International) just to sound a loud noise to Nigerians that this generation is almost ready to play a part in the decisions that affect their future. That way it must go beyond any forces that try to kill it before its being heard.
I will humbly and fully support anyone who decides to take this up because I feel family just wants me off the scene cos we're a quiet kind (even though I am not).
On the other hand, there are other opportunities coming up real soon and Dvt, Sammie and I will make sure the house is notified once word gets out. If house members can try and get an offer from their preferred institutions that should be an advantage when the other schemes get to be announced.
For now...God bless!!!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
PTDF fraud blowing is simple to actualize.
1.
Petition the Presidency through EFCC, ICPC on transparency and Corruption in recent Published PTDF results stating the anomalies clearly ( Like Names that has no data on PTDF website thus portending that they didn't apply;were not shortlisted; didn't write the exam but whose Names were published as those that passed the exam they had no input on).
2.
These Petition must be be forwarded by an Authority Like Human right Lawyer with signatories of members and concerned Nigerians.
3.
It must be published in Front Page of national dailies to lend it credence and weight.
4.
The constructive process of change must be headed by someone with the Zeal of Mrs Dora Akunyili.
This is the time for Action and not talking; time to gather evidence and present fact; time for change.
I believe everybody is a Leader Like Late Gani. I concur the Change cos i've done things like this before and was triumphant but nobody then and now knew how that happened and i'm not talking either but i'm happy when People are smiling and reaping the fruits of their Labour.
Who will Lead Us??? cos someone must champion this.
The Lord is a Light unto my Path.....

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Guys...I declined for family reasons but that does not mean I will not present my facts should someone else decide to take it up.
I must commend mccoy for rephrasing some points I had given in the other ptdf blogs...there are a lot of parties to put in copy and I will remain with this cause if someone else will just decide to man it.
I have my few facts and we can gather more from others...but this can only happen if someone takes the spot I hoped to assume before I declined.
These moves if actualized will definitely make a change, no matter how small.
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
but mccoy, their site has experienced some revamping, so even if we do ve facts, it still has to do with us using their site.... but now we ve made so much noise that they ve started cleaning their tracks.... I suggest Kenyy should be contacted again, cos he seemed to ve a lot of evidences(according to him running into 100s). But he seemed to ve developed cold feet since his post stirred up d dust...
@peacesofpeace, i will like to know u beyond this forum....

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
@Ziggyjoel...you started your post well but made it a local one.
This is a global blog and not a yoruba, hausa or igbo blog so try and get your posts correct so everyone knows what you're talking about.
Thanks.

Some People just make me laugh. Which evidence are we talking about? which facts? That some people have no record in the ptdf site does not mean they are not qualified or did not take the test. There could have simply been some errors that prevented their details from showing or maybe they could be amongst those guys that didnt apply online but rather, in their state scholarship board. I'm not saying there isnt wayo in the ptdf selection but its definitely not this dumb example portrayed above.
Why boys no fit just FAIL exam accept say dem FAIL am? Why cant sleepin dogs be let to lie? I wrote the exam and I must confess, it wasnt easy like some of u here are painting it (especially part A).
Whether we like it or not, the exam was eexxxxtrrrrreeeeeeeemllyy competitive and those that made the list outperformed us. I personally contested the result at first but after considering the calibre of some people i personally know who made it, I just accepted the result with a resolve to try harder next year. Same thing happened in the Mobil scholarship exam last year and some olodos were also complaining that it was scam whereas the 10 guys that were succesful were confirmed high flying genuises.
My people, the list released is strictly for real (merit) but the remaining slots would be the "Big Man" list (I have confirmed this from a reliable source). It is quite annoying and frustrating but we have to thank God that at least we have over 70% of the scholars coming by merit. We cannot fight this monster cos it did not even start from PTDF. In absolutely everything in Nigeria, there is always a reserved Big man list. We just have to strive harder to make the 70% and stop all these bickering.
Congrats to those that made it and Goodluck to us next year!!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
@obaro part A was easy for me, part B wasnt all that bad but i had issues cos i didnt cover wide in my studies... But i will tell u, not every1 here is feeling cheated. Although quite a lot blv they merit being on the merit list.... But my advise for them is that, beta luck next time....
But for those that ve a genuine claims, they should press on with it
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
I feel what u guys feel, but my humble advice is "let the sleeping dog lie". PTDF exam isn't about u pass well but relatively pass. I think one the reasons why the results weren't displayed immediately was because of some many selection criteria (Federal Character, Quota from each state, gender consideration and oil-related &non-oil-related courses) employed.
I don't think u v any course to fight this. Just work harder next time and accept God's plan for ur life. U can't question PTDF for not giving about 500 scholarships as stated on its website. It's just a press release. About 350 scholars' names were publish last year on PTDF website and national dailies, but during the induction in Abuja, we were told that about 500 scholarships were given. Some didn't apply at all but there were recommended and some best students from some Nigeria Universities where PTDF has Chairs were given (but their names were not published). Also, some military men wrote the exam but their selection process was different from ours and therefore they are part of 2009/2010 PTDF scholars.
Last year some people did something similar to this but they didn't succeed. They claimed that some names are peculiar to some areas which is not out rightly correct..............PTDF did its home work well before releasing the result there4, just relax and continue to pray for our nation and be determined to make a difference when u get there. I'm not saying we shouldn't expose evil but get a concrete evidence b4 take a move. I'v read all ur comments. They are not strong enough and might be just a mirage. I know what I'm talking about. Not because I'm a PTDF scholarship beneficiary but I know little about PTDF scholarship and its processes.
I wish u guys all the best and we shall all eat honey and milk of this our great land but u have something to do, what? Pray for the good of Nigeria. CHEERS!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Guys, am not saying there may not be inconsistencies, but I have a friend who passed last yr PTDF scholarship but shifted it to dis yr because his company couldnt grant him study leave..His name appeared in this yrs list without mentioning his degree..
Do check out anyway whether there may be wuruwuru shaa.
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
@Darknight...believe me no names carried over from last year should re-appear in this year's list, especialy if that list contains a number less than the mentioned 500 or the shortlisted 363.
There was a budget for last year, hence carried over names should be excluded and not even mentioned.
For those who are considering the petition, you might want to include a clause requesting that ptdf explains what was done with the cash left from last year's budget, since some people defered studies. That cash should still be somewhere, if not spent or returned back, so they have no right to include those names within the shortlist for which an assumed budget for this year will be drawn from.
The system, like many others, is highly irregular and fraudulent but I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE MEN AND WOMEN (NOT BOYS AND GIRLS) IN THIS HOUSE ARE ALMOST READY TO MAKE CHANGES OCCUR...AND THAT ISN'T TOO FAR AWAY.
God bless!

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
@ P of P
Just noticed something nasty. Some guys on that list are over-aged. This issue should also be included in any petition. Scholar No 346 on the list is over-aged. There must be others but i just saw this one.
Goodluck to the petitioners!
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
This is terrible! the best way to make the case stronger is to cross check the current list with the list of 'succesfuls' from last year, to verify the supposed '70 names'. Not to sound naive but this is why things hardly work in our country.
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
Can you you see how selfish human beings are. for the fact that you did not pass this exams does not mean you are not good. My candid advice to you is that you should redirect that energy to do something profitable for your self than waisting it in the name of petition. However, i wish you luck.
-
Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
When a door closes, another one definitely opens. Studying abroad is not the ultimate. The question is, "Is God in it with you?". If He is, then you will succeed beyond all odds. I didnt make the list, though it was disappointing at first, but God knows best. I have made up my mind to excel, UK or no UK. Dangote did not have to study abroad to become a billionaire. For the young chaps, there is next year, for the not-too-young ones, there are other opportunities.
PeacesofPeace, i know the pain and disappointment u must be feeling. I feel it too. But look on the brighter side. There are many ways to be made.

Re: THE LATEST EXPOSE ON PTDF SCAM!!!
If you ask me 33 years isn't the oldest. Someone mentioned right here that a candidate's birth details showed 1972.
If na Phd, great!, but that shortlist was ONLY for M.Sc.
Is it just me being biased or is this really true...somebody say something!
I weep for this country but May God help us all!
