what is the importance of this post,when we are anxiously waiting for the result.

LOL.

I second that question.

...and it is not a recent news. That news has been in ptdf website since after the test.

@EL-AZAR, I know you will do better next time with timely information. Cheers!

Just bcos an information isn't useful to you doesnt mean it ain't useful at all. That peace of information, as useless as u all think it is, is useful to some people, i assure u all.

@kemsy2010 & Peacesofpeace,
This piece of information is vital and can always be quoted if at the end, you are shortlisted for the award. Afterall I quoted the source.

@kenyy & submee,
If the information was not timely to you, believe me it was timely to others.
two men out of 245,560 in a forum says a info is not timely/recent to them, meanwhile they saw the information and did not disclose it to others.
@kenyy... mmmmhhhhhh. I reserve further comments

Brother, I believe i saw this info on this site days after the test. Maybe u didnt see it.
Anyway, there are still many others who havent seen it so it might still be useful for them.

Thanks!

What I meant was that this info had already been posted here and I too posted something like this...the link to this info.

You meant well so keep it up.

Regards,

@ EL-AZAR, WELL DONE

well done brother

Anxiety go kill person o. If it exceeds this week then foul play don enter.

@Peacesofpeace

you are absolutely right, once it exceeds this week, then something must be fishing.
If UME results whose registration is online based can be correlated with the OMR answer sheet and the results released within days.
How much more this one that is jus online based alone.

Infact the Marking of that PTDF exam should have been done that same day while by the now the position of things made known to the public.
Well, It is well.

We waited for the scratch cards, we waited for the exams, let us wait for the results, but definitely, we will not wait further when the time comes to leave Nigeria for our respective Post graduate courses

AMEN OOO

I don't really understand the delay after PTDF claimed we'll be able to access our result immediately after the exam. The situation really looks fishy, but this is Nigeria, we can expect the worst. Am I wrong? But we're still waiting.

Lets keep on waiting, God dey sha.

YOUR WILL BE DONE O LORD
