Nice job guys. I've also joined in the trend. Let's also also tweet at @Mrskemiadeosun, the Minister of Finance.

registered? Now search for xdream7, follow me and mention for a follow back.

I would put you through how you'd tweet about our plights as YouWiN awardees.

sunyleeone:
#YouWiN3Awardees it is very pathetic that so many YouWiN 3 Awardees are suffering, terminating staff while some businesses are almost closed down. Yet most awardees are suffering in silence, we can't feel their impact on tweeter. Why?

Fellow YouWiN3 Awardees, let us take our cry and our plea to Facebook. Government and YouWiN Secretariat seem to completely ignore us on tweeter. Perhaps, because tweeter post is limited to just 140 characters, so we can't fully express ourselves.

Let us cry out and plead on Facebook for our businesses to be rescued. Am certain that this 3rd edition of YouWiN would have emerged one of the most successful YouWiN edition, but gross delay in release of our tranches is hampering the success and almost killing the programme.

Let us continue to cry and plead, we can't afford to get completely frustrated.

Please don't make derogatory statements, just cry out and plead, emphasizing the importance and potential success of the programme.

Please it is "Twitter" and not "Tweeter" as mentioned severally on your posts. The only way you will get any response to this issue is to reach the VP directly. Not easy but possible.

Thanks for the correction.
How do we reach the VIP directly? Pls put us through. We need all necessary information that can help us. My major concern is those who have not received their second tranche.

When those who have received 2nd tranche are now almost running down, how much more those who have not received their second tranche.

Some people's birds are dying. And if more than half of total birds in a poultry die due to inadequate funds it is a tragedy.

olumze:
Hey guys. Just checked out the VP online, and I saw his email add for his law practice. I'm sure he still checks it. Let's send mature well-scripted messages to him and hope for action.

Let's use as subject: YOUWIN 3 2013, DELAYED TRANCHE PAYMENTS AND DYING BUSINESSES

dannB:
All youwin3 awardee still expecting second tranche payment should shut up. Most of you are not ashamed, complaining your businesses is failing. Spoilt pampered business owner. If you can not run your business profitably with your first tranche payment, why do you deserve the second tranche payment. You know jonathan is no longer in power to come to your aid. Why don't you print your statement of account and discuss with the bank you have a relationship with. Except if your business has not been a making small profit, bank will turn down an existing business.
For your info, I started my manufacturing business with just 2 million loan from my bank manager to start my business. And the business has produce turnover of 70,000,000 naira per year and net profit of 10,000,000 naira in first year. How do I achieve that? Because it was bank loan I used as start up capital. I knew if I default, I automatically have a bad credit rating by banks in future. That makes serious and maximise the money.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Youwin is over and look for other ways to save your business if you are truly passionate about it. And stop lamenting like a spoilt child.

dannB:
Why don't you ask your business mentors or successful young entreprenuer if any government give them grants?
Typically nigerians depending on government for everything and looking for excuse. I am sure nairaland owner didn't get any grant too and here we are using his forum website. Don't be lazy and think to save your business. Youwin is over.

Wow! Congratulations on your higher intelligence. I'm not a beneficiary of youwin 3, but I found your post most condescending. So far from what I've seen, this forum has been about people rubbing minds and helping and mentoring others, not to tell people off in such a rude manner. If you want to be helpful, be helpful, offer advice, offer yourself as a consultant, whatever, but don't call people spoilt children for asking for something that they should have got by now. Please. If you had a business plan for 10million naira and you received 2 million from your bank and a deadline to meet up with markers set for your original 10million plan, do you really think you would not have run into crisis shortly after?

bamistol:

Thank you @Nenyibabs. DannB is a liar. He posted on November 14th that his uncle is setting up a juice processing factory in Ogun State, which is also a lie. He was asking for advice and where to get pineapples. I know the guy too well. He is just a poor liar that has no business idea. He couldn't even scale through YouWiN!.

dannB:
Ignite business idea competition is not worth it at all. I don't know why first bank and the organizers are very stingy. Can you believe that the prize money for winners is 100,000 naira to start a business in Lagos? What kind of business can 100,000 naira start? It is even a loan and not a grant. What got me annoyed further is that I was mailed that I was shortlisted among winners to come for training in Ikoyi. They said there will be no refreshment and writing materials for us. Can you imagine? They think transport fare to go for the training to Ikoyi is cheap in lagos? How much is writing materials and refreshment that first bank and the organizers can not provide for the winners at the training? Infact they are a joke. They had better learn from youwin, tony elumelu foundation for start up, and others about how to conduct business plan competition. You treat contestant with full respect. Rubbish competition. I am ignoring there training invite. Not worth it.
