@renoomokri: 1200 women have emerged winners of YouWIN2 in fulfillment of the promise President Jonathan made on 13/9/2012, http:///XemED5Krve

A wonderful programme by Mr President and the Coordinating Minister

This is a true Nigerian programme we are yawning for, where a Yoruba, Igbo, Efik, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani etc are listed as winners where they reside, irrespective of their state of origin provided they are law abiding citizens of the State they reside.

President Jonathan, we seek this as norm rather than exception to the rules.

Bravo, SAI Jonathan - Re-elected come 2015

The Institutions of this great Nation will be corrected and made to work on their own before 2019 when you will finish your second term.

Really? how is this Youwin program gonna provide jobs for 48 percent of unemployment youths in Nigeria? I heard th other day on the news according to statistics that 32 percent of the 48 percent are unemployable while 16 percent are. What plans does the government have for the unemployable youths and which categories of people fall under the unemployable?

Rejoice with those that made the list as if they were members of your family.

It's celebration time for them all and am happy for them.

Oga! just answer my question. There is no need shying away from the point i just raised.

The federation purse (national revenue) is divided into two. FG takes half, while states and local govt takes the other half. The YOUWIN and other programmes by FG are short term measures to create jobs with their share of the national revenue. The question now is, how is your state govt creating jobs with their SHARE of the national revenue?

Keep dancing Azonto until the "unemployable" youths (if there is anything like that) catch you. 1200 jobs is like a drop in the ocean if all the beneficiaries were drawn from among your Ngwa sisters. My dear brother, Much as I'd love GEJ to run for 2nd tenure, I won't celebrate YOUWIN as a sensible job creation strategy for the youths.

How does this YouWin thing work anyway. How does it benefit Nigerians. How does it help Baga people from their sorrows.

Berem,my dear there is nothing like an "unemployable" person.We have jobs for unskilled labour even in the USA till tomorrow. It is only a callous and insensitive administration that will label a section of its youths "Unemployable". To me the word sounds more like a bar of prejudice against the unfortunate youths who do not have the wherewithal to acquire the necessary skills needed for white collar jobs. Government should be creative enough to make provisions for their training and not label them unemployable. If government cannot employ them, terrorist can. That word should be deleted from our economic dictionary fast.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder why the government will use the word unemployable to describe such. As far as am concerned every Nigerian has the capability to involve in any type of labour, skilled and semi skilled and unskilled. So why differentiate between employable and unemployable?

You dont think before you type. Think of how many these people will employ, think of the reverbrating effect before you make one silly un informed comment.

dumb. Of course you wont.

What is good is good. This is a good initiative, whether you like it or not. Some families will be out of the dungeons of poverty with this scheme you are berating.

y'all are sick in the brain! i asked a simple question and you dumb azz niggas can't even answer it.If you got nothing to say to my question,just STFU and scram! fuccking dimwits!

Bad belle they worry some people. Never seeing anything good done by government.

berem: y'all are sick in the brain! i asked a simple question and you dumb azz niggas can't even answer it.If you got nothing to say to my question,just STFU and scram! fuccking dimwits!

LOL. No be you ask nonsense question?

Some Nigerians will remain sadists as far as GEJ remain president hence why some will yarn scrap concerning this great initiative. I am not a beneficiary and neither do I know any beneficiary but I do know the aim of this programme is self reliance and industrialization hence to create jobs in the long run. This is the best way to go for now if govt wants to empower her citizens to be entrepreneurs and the multiplier effects will be great on the economy. imagine the Alakijas arising through these subventions. imagine the Dangote's that might arise through this programme.! I appreciate this one!

No one says what the government did is bad.all am asking is how are they gonna tackle the ever increasing rate of unemployment? will the Youwin programme be enough to solve it? i need reasonable answers and not throwing insults.

If you are unemployable as I suspect judging by your resident status on Nairaland, make yourself employable by acquiring skills and maybe, just maybe you may land a job and spend less time on Nairaland.

Widespread unemployment did not start with this administration. Unemployment has actually dropped under the current administration going by data from World bank, UN and NBS. YOUWIN alone is just a program out of many designed to tackle unemployment and cannot absorb the large number of unemployed Nigerians. Under this government, there has been steady increase in FDI and a lot of companies (both local and multinational) are either setting up or expanding capacity as the government has been keeping to its promise of improving infrastructure.

Nestle just recently opened their 54 billion naira sute in Agbara, Dangote has just secured a $4.2 billion facility to build a refinery, Transcorp has gone into agroprocessing big time with their fruit juice concentrate production facility in Benue state, they are also about to start the production of tomatoe paste. NASCON, a company in which Dangote owns majority shares is also starting the production of tomato paste. Also, with the current privatisation of the offsprings from PHCN and subsequent take over by the foreign investors, we would see a boom in employment akin to the days of the telecom sector. These activities are what in the long run will reduce the rate of unemployment.

Also, they are a lot if skills acquisition centres spread across the country where you can acquire skills at little or no cost but most people are either ignorant of them or as Nigerians feel too big to do 'dirty jobs'. My friend just finished learning soap making with NDE and I've given him the little support I can. My cousin who was unemployed for a long time had to go back to the village to set up a piggery after acquiring the necessary skills and he's doing fine now planning to buy a pick up van for distribution. Years ago, one of my other cousins had to go back to the village from Pirt harcourt to learn manual block moulding and has never regretted it since then. He just completed a modest '3 rooms and parlour'.

People are taking to farming making money while the lazy ones keep waiting for government to spoon feed them.

Nobody in my paternal extended family works for the government or any company even though most of us under 40 are graduates. We chose to be employers and not employees.
