I have seen one beneficiary, but what she is doing making footwear cannot create many jobs and again the imported ones are cheaper than her own.

The beneficiaries so far cannot create many jobs and what the youths need most now are as many jobs as possible.

The government should spend the money not on these winner takes all competitions, but on federal projects that will create millions of jobs all over Nigeria.

I keep on repeating that using local textile materials like Adire and Batik to make duvet covers, bed sheets and pillow cases is a million dollar business, because 90% of these items are imported and the government should ban the importation.

I agree but not every Nigerian wants to be an employee forever. At a point one might wish to be an entrepreneur and thats where the need for funds come in. I appreciate this concept by GEJ because this year he put hope into the lives of women who had no where else to turn to, something most past leaders did not do. We have been given this opportunity and if we fail we cannot blame the government but ourselves. There is an adage that says" train a man and your train a family but train a woman and you train a nation"

Sis! Post-Secondary School qualification was required, now my question is. Can a university student, with a certificate in entrepreneurship be part of these? One of the commenters said he was a beneficiary b4 he got admission. Another is, will they keep monitoring you on how you spend the money? Plz Reply Asap.
Thanks

The reason why I'm asking is because I have another idea in house/building construction but I don't know much about construction. What I'm driving at is that do they place emphasis on innovation or just a normal viable business

I am one of the YouWIN 1 awardees. YouWIN is real. In the last edition I help my sister and also mentored many women that were able to make it. God bless Goodluck Jonathan and ‎Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for this laudable idea and God bless which has changed my life and that of my family.

The 3rd edition will commence on 25th of November, 2013. There will be presidential launch on 25th of Nov., 2013 and almost all the awardees both youwin 1 and 2 were invited for the presidential launch.

Many people never believed in YouWIN, but our testimony and that of the women edition as shown that government is serious and youwin is real. So the interest is much and you are going to compete against professional business plan writers, coaches, mentors, professors, banks just to mention a few. Therefore, you cannot afford to submit poorly written business plan. You need professional advices and also need to be guided.

I was invited as facilitator by FourSquare District Headquarters Church, Iba Housing Estate to lecture them on Business Plan Workshop Tagged Re-positioning The Foursquare Youth for FGN/YOUWIN! 3 Grant on the 16th and 17th of August, 2013. It was a free 2-day programme. You can watch the preview of my presentation here: http://utibeetim.com/my-presentation-on-business-planning-workshop-for-youwin-3-applicants/

I have been called upon by St Alphonsis Catholic Church, Aboru to also lecture them and it is absolutely free and is on the 6th and 7th of September.

You can contact me for professional advice and also read my articles on youwin on my personal blog www.utibeetim.com.

Don't make the mistake that I made during the first edition:

http://www.freeyouwingrant.com/hello-world/

Last year was exclusively for ladies so I could apply though I assisted some ladies
with their application. Some made it to the second round and one of them won!

This year, no shaking, I gotta WIN. And I hope to share with others my experience of last year.

Re: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by Tayeni(m): 4:31am On Nov 07, 2013
Guys, seems there is a cap on the amount(percentage)one can budget for fixed capital e.g delivery vehicle. With the new policy on the import duty of used vehicles, don't u think getting a fairly used 'tokunbo' or new ones will gulp d bulk of d percentage set aside for your fixed capital making d rest insufficient for other capital goods like machines ? Abi what's d alternative. Not all the business ideas will need vehicles, but I'm sure most will.

Go ahead and apply. It is only God that will make any of us successful. Keep in mind that the maximum amount is 10 million so your idea should not cost you more than 10 million to execute.

Last year, an 18 year old girl won so I do not know the type of qualification she had acquired as at that time. Good luck.
