Hello house, i was one of the people that was robbed by PTDF. However, i have taken it up as i have forwarded a petition to the executive secretary. I reliably gathered that there are over 80 petitions on the desk of the executive secretary. i will be informing the house on the development, as i will be travelling to abuja for a follow up. Its disheartening that people that merited the scholarship were jettisoned for others that didnt merit it.
I will keep the house informed on any development.
executive secretary of PTDF ? Safe Journey
did u say singing Failure?
why is it that people can not learn to accept things the way they are. In as much as I do not support corruption in any form, why is it that people will not allow sleeping dogs lie?
80 petitions??? to PTDF secretary?? ok o!
good luck to 80 of you whose petitions are on that Desk. It annoys me when people use this word "It is not my portion" if it is not your portion, then who deserves it???
I suggest that you go and read harder, apply for other scholarships, and above all pray for favor from the Almighty so that you will be lucky next time. All these exhibition of annoyance would not reverse an already published list of successful scholars!
The rain is a blessing, yet it falls for both the good and the bad. The rigours of life are catalyst, they enable us to attain our own full potentialities
Shalom!
EL-AZAR, carry on jare. Any thing you can make from it, please let us know.....Am very much interested.....
Am with you. Any thing progress made is appreciated. Your efforts might not reverse the situation, but it is step in the right direction....More Powers To Your Elbows...El-Azar
I think we should not see our defective system as an ideal 1. many of us re already gettin used 2 dis bad system in Nigeria. Never discourage any1 dt fils he can change thins in his own little way.
let me share an experience wit u. 3 guys on a trainin by shell sued d company via efcc. dis motion was countered by others on training out of fear. d strugle was pursued & @ d end, jst d 3 of thm were considered 4 SITP on completion of d local community training YOGT. they re presently in d SPDC system.
Leav d young man 2 pursue his course. he might b very lucky 4 his confidence 2 approach d struggle.
wishin u al d best!!!
@dnnsystems,
I am not against anyone fighting against corruption or other just courses, but he said "Its disheartening that people that merited the scholarship were jettisoned for others that didnt merit it"
I want you all to know one thing which i strongly believe in, you easily succeed in any goal not by virtue of your qualification and disposition but if and only if the stroke of fortune is in perfect harmony with Providence.
Thank you!
cheychux, Am with you on this one, Go Ahead, Give it a shot!!! Give us info on any development!!!
GUYS...I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF WE CAN ALL SHUT UP AND LET WHOEVER WANTS TO QUERY AND PETITION PTDF TO DO SO. ARE YOU ALL RELATED TO THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY? WHY THE HARSH WORDS.
WE OWE OURSELVES NOTHING MORE BUT 'ENCOURAGEMENTS' OR 'KEEPING MUTE (NOT DISCOURAGEMENTS)'
THE YOUNG MAN FEELS AGGRIEVED AND HAS A PLAN WHICH HE HAS STARTED, AND SINCE WE ALL KNOW HIS ACTIONS WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING (WHICH I WISH THEY DO), THEN LETS LET HIM FOOL HIMSELF (IF THATS WHAT YOU ALL THINK HE'S DOING), RATHER THAN DISCOURAGE ACTIONS HE FEEL WILL MAKE HIM HAPPY.
I PERSONALLY WON'T LISTEN TO ANY DISCOURAGEMENTS IF I'D GONE THAT FAR BECAUSE HE CAN'T ASK FOR IT BACK.
AND @ENIGMANI AND BROTHERLY...WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TWO ASKING EL-AZAR TO CONTINUE WITH...THE DISCOURAGEMENT OF PEOPLE PUTTING UP PETITIONS?
elzar... are you guilty of sometin? Why can't the young man and eighty others petition. is it your money...... if you truly merited it... no no. of petition can bring your name out of it.... and u know that.. so why the fuss. Elzar Can you swear that all those in the list merited it. can you swear you merited it too? I doubt.... I agree that some people in that list deserve to be there... after all ptdf is not stupid to base the whole 363 names on runz... but the fact remains that some people including you... from the way you are reasoning shouldn't be there
It's surprising the way people are talking especially on the just concluded ptdf exercise. Most of you that were talking could still attest to the fact that some of your friends and relations got this list and they really deserve it. so why are some of you talking like that. take it or leave it whatsoever a man sow that shall he reap. posterity will catch up with whosoever manipulated his way on that list. as for you it is time to start preparin for the next one. if i could remember the house really help me in achievin this success. i started preparation for this exams about five months ago and couple with prayers and even fasting God made it a reality for me. in as much as i don't condone corruption let us all be positive that the future belong to all of us. but it is unfortunate that some that are talking are even worse. As for me, help me praise GOD. I wish to use this medium to appreciate the whole house especially Sammie77, he really challenge me to work very hard for the exams. i wish him the very best next time.
Agbolahan,if u dont av anythin to say pls keep your mouth shut.You are a failure to yourself and your generation.Do you know why?Because you are tryin to discourage someone who is doin the right thing.We dont need people like you in dis forum.
@ danjuma, I agree to what u are saying cos i was also aggrieved earlier but now as i have seen about 3 of my friends name on the list who merited it , they have given me the hope to try again. this year's test was the second time one of those my friend's has written the test and finally with God's help she made it. If anyone wants to petition ptdf, go ahead and fight the course cos some names on that list may have come thru IM. if u didn't get it this year, try again again and again in different quaters. one love
To my petitioner, petitioning d Exec Sec of PTDF who doubles as the head of the corrupt system, is arrant nonsense. Ur petition wud only be kept in d limbo and u may end up being a victim of ur petition by being disqualified from future PTDF scholarship even wen u merit it- 've u thought abt that? What u shud 've done was to 4ward ur petition to ICPC, National assembly and ministries of education and petroleum if u really meant business. These bodies will summon d PTDF chiefs for an open -end investigation and results will be achieved.
A petition by a group is more worthwhile than one written by one person.
But, i 'll advice that this issue of PTDF be phased out of this forum by the admin as this forum is not a Complaints Commission.
true talk ikeemesowum
tell dem
@ P...O...P,
I am not in any way discouraging you or anyone from writing petitions against PTDF if he or she feels the selection exercise was not fair to him/her, I am only replicating an opinion/ suggestions voiced out by @ikeemesowum. Writing a petition to PTDF Exec secretary will not avert further occurrences of similar corrupt practices. nemo judex in re sua (a man cannot be a judge in his own cause). We have to learn as graduates that there are escalation path/route to conflict resolution wether the outcome will be desirable or not. More so there is strength when people are united and and are fighting for a just course. Let us utilize the time spent in consolidating valid and cogent fact and present to the right channel.
Many members have said in similar threads that that no one can swear that everybody on that list merited it, and I support that, Besides if they scrutize thoroughly all those accusing PTDF of being unfair all because they did not make it, you will realise that they are the sole cause of what happened to them. Must people do the right thing wrongly????
@lettheliteshine
Point of correction, My name is not elzar, but EL-AZAR in capitals(Meaning G-D HELPS). I got that scholarship by the approval of the my creator, whether you are doubting it or not. I am not from an oil producing state yet I was a recipient of a Scholarship award from one of the MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANIES but that does not make me the best, it only shows that I am lucky and was favored and you cannot change that fact. So if any hardworking member(s) of this honorable house was not shortlisted, I encourage him/her to try read harder, and above all pray well whilst fighting for justice.
Meanwhile, I will always feliciate with all members of this house who made it genuinely this time and Four of my University class mates including my humble self). Last year, I could not make it, it was my cousin who made it,To G-D BE THE GLORY.
If some of the people on that list made it genuinely this year, then it must repeat itself next year
Dear All,
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing (Abraham Lincoln)
your today will eventually become your yesterday tomorrow. Let us not allow PTDF to tear us apart, we are one family, United we stand, Divided we fall...
SHALOM!

El Azar......what do you mean by accepting things the way they are? thats a pessimistic approach to life and believe me it will get you no where.
i think all aggrieved parties should complain or petition the exec sec. even if they dont do anything....it would be on record that people have voiced their displeasure about the whole process.
well done poster ......i like courageous people like you
Hey Don Agostino
I am not a pessimist. Besides a pessimist is never disappointed.
Thank you
If uve got shortlisted, CONGRATS!!!
If uve bin rejected,as it were,i'd stil say, CONGRATS!!!
We should however b mindful of wht we say in dis forum. Uve got no reason whtsoevr to insult any1 expressin himself. sm of dis attitude affect many even @ interviews. coordinate ur expressions (spoken/written).
Whts d big deal abt PTDF, isnt d best thg dt 1 cn achieve. Whts in MSc, many ve better jobs evn wit ND.
If ure nt were u OUGHT 2 b, strive nt 2 b whr u USED 2 be. I wnt us al 2 meet @ d top!!
i think u ar sayin d right thing bro ptdf scholaship does nt gaurantee ur success or a job.we should all 4get about this stuff and carry on with life.
I agree totally with El-Azar. If anyone thinks he has been cheated, he can go ahead and petition, but assuming for instance the case is taken up, what can u prove? It may be possible to prove smone who did not merit it got it, but can u prove that it should hv been u instead? If u can't, then how have u been wronged? If u don't know for sure that u passed and u were replaced with someone who didn't, then u r just blowing steam. I know a few guys that got it on merit. I wasn't successful myself. But for me, it means I wasn't one of the very best cos a good percentage of the very best got it. 11,000 applicants and 450 or 500 awards. Do the math. The odds rn't spectacular. Take El-Azar advice and pray and study harder, u'll get it next year by God's grace cos its Him that blesses.
Let me remind those that are writing petition to PTDf that the ACCUSED is also the JUDGE. So how do you intend to win your battles.
I rest my case.
