Kiva: A Place To Borrow Money

I Hope We Don't Kill KIVA

For the uninitiated Kiva is a place where people from the developing world borrow money from people in the west. You have a business in Nigeria but don't have money to expand, you go to Kiva and a sympathetic lender will loan you the money.

I have not heard of any Nigerian scam involving Kiva but for how long. How long before a greedy Nigerian borrow money from Kiva and then come up with stories like, armed robbers stole the money or police seized the money at check point. I just hope one stupid Nigerian don't spoil it for the rest of us. www.kiva.org

Awesome!

I just loaned to few people

Nice Job

Oke amu,please how do i benefit from the scheme

I dont think its available in  nigeria, i think u need to prove that u have something going also u need to have a representative of a kind to be able to get loan plus someone to recommend u, then your application will go through review before finally making them public,

Thanksandgodbless for this information I will check the site and I may need your assistance to answer some question as soon as I have difficulties.  Please can yousend mean e-mail on globalvilakoncept@yahoo.com

Thanks

hi iam a corper,pls how do i benefit from this kiva i dont yet have any business doing but i got a business plan.

  Niger na wao, Hop some day this will end, 

even if they are giving $1 i personally pray they don't extend it to Nigeria because knowing our people they will just soil our name more in the international scene.  i watched a documentary on kiva in one of the  US channel and saw even poor people in Latin America and Kenya( i think but i am sure it is Kenya because it was October i watched the programme)  repaying their loans and thought God how can we become like this?

earlier this year too while back here i saw another on Oprah and it was a brilliant concept but it will never work in Nigeria. i remember the NDE loans of the 80S very well how it was seriously abused. 

now i know some will post rubbish about this but i care more for the corporate name of Nigeria than small minded people. some of us are tired of the stupidity some of our people do.we have tolerance for fraud and thieving that i think is obscene
