You are right it is supposed to end on 23rd, but i think de might extend it a little cuz de started late(my own thinking) however i will suggest u call felo awardees around u to know if they are in d same position wit u, if yes no wahala, if no, den try get in touch with there own monitors, may be its an over sight... in as much as all d monitors report are important, the independent monitor is very key cuz he will be d one monitoring you on a regular basis...
Re: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by awezu: 10:45am On Apr 23, 2015
The ultimate question to determine your monitors visit is when did you trigger ? Did you trigger within the first week of April (first 7 days). If you did not you will not be visited by independent monitor even if you get visited by smedan.

The list for those to be visited in April was sent to the independent monitors last week and they in turn sent out a list of documents for us to upload after which a visit was scheduled.

Visiting for April ends this week so if u triggered outside the first week of April or you plan to trigger within the first week of May then you will be visited between mid May to May 24th.

From speculations youwin 4 might even continue

I learnt that some monitors are giving awardees terrible headache. About 4 awardees have told me their monitors are giving them headache and they didn't divert the fund. They said it appears that those SMEDAM monitors are looking for bribe. I reminded them that they warned us against giving money to any monitor. I don't know how to further advise them.
They are NOT on nairaland.
Should I advise them to report to YouWIN secretariat?
Fellow awardees especially YouWIN 1 and 2 awardees need your contribution so that I may NOT give those 4 awardees misleading advice.

Some monitors would do their normal duties as ordered by YouWiN! No problems, no headache, the monitoring would go well.

Some monitors would turn to daylight Pharaoh. They would ask of anything and everything. Don't be surprised if they ask you the last digit of the last recharge card you loaded. They may even ask you to provide photocopies of your primary school report sheet. grin

We don't need to be perturbed. Every monitor can't be the same.

You have to be sure of there situation.. some monitors may go the extra mile of asking for irrelevant things, but as long as its within there power they should provide all the monitors ask, if they cant they should be able to defend and explain why de cant provide what ever it is... however if they give any bribe...thats the end of uwin for them cuz it could be a set up... we hav been told not too... can u confirm what d actual issue us May be de cant account for some funds, or stuffs like dat... what is d issue, what exactly are d monitors asking for...

They say the monitor refuse to accept handwritten evidence of payment for workmanship for artisans like carpenter, welder or bricklayers. That they must show receipt or invoice for workmanship. So the monitor insisted that such funds are not accounted for despite the handwritten evidence.
And some irrelevant issues. As if the monitor is witch hunting them

Wickedness at its peak!

So casual labourers should now start giving receipts and invoices to their clients? This is serious.

The money spent for the services of bricklayers, carpenters, etc are not acceptable but they can see the works done already? This is serious again.

Am sure they would also want to ensure that MTN, glo, Airtel and/or Etisalat pen down their signatures on every recharge card purchased.

Bro, i doubt if they are seeking for any bribe cos they (Independent monitors) told us during the workshop that even if u give her a car gift she will report u to youwin and non of us gave them a dime.. At this point writting to secretariate might cause u some delays which may equally complicate d release of ur second tranche based on transition because those monitors are YouWin representatives, they might write trash against you.. So first of all ascertain what they really want, if its bribe then u can report them bt if its ur expenditure documents, bros abeg Present it to them.. Although my own monitors are all God fearing and sensible


Secondly, expenses like carpentry etc must be covered with "Payment Voucher" where d receiver will sign to acknowledge receipt of such payments.. That was what i personally used to cover my own expenditures that was not receipted! And my monitors were happy with my transparent records.. Tell ur friend to google Payment voucher and download a sample of it, incase he/she doesn't knw how it looks and then re-typed it with company's name.

Nothing will happen to his/her fund once he/she met her milestones and also ensures that his/her receipts are well documented! He/she must make sure that whatever reflects in his statement of acct will be d same with what the recepits and payments are saying

I gave them the same advice and I even took them to my printing press and printed one booklet of payment voucher each for each of them (because I run a printing press). They came back that the woman still rejected it. That was when I told them that she may be up to something. When I asked them of the details of their account book they said that the woman did not even ask them. Each of them have similar experience.
Funny enough, the same woman used different measures for others.
For instance, some that are starting a new school without Revalidation Certificate from Ministry of Education, which is a major requirement for starting she told them to quickly go to the ministry of education to get it so she can approve them.
Some without single employment, she told them to quickly print employment letter and bring to her office so she can approve them.
Nobody is ready to say either they bribed her or not.
Why different measures for different people? I pitied my fellow awardees.
We awardees do share ideas here so as to advise each other that is how I got to know of their predicament.
Others have been advising them. I don't want to give them misleading advice that is why am sharing it at this forum for brainstorming.

Mine are yet to come. But I doubt if I would offer them even a bottle of water before they interpret it to bribing.
Re: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by xdream(m): 8:14am On Apr 25, 2015
Hello awardees

Please, let's ensure that we have a vital prove before we write anything about our monitors.

I don't want to believe that a monitor would ask an awardee to go and forge an employment letter.

I also don't want to accept that any monitor will ask for bribe. Please, they are not hungry.

Let's mind our comments here so that we won't put ourselves in trouble.

I wrote earlier that monitors are different individuals with different ways of inspection. Please don't let us present them as corrupt monitors

Don't miss quote me.
I didn't say, any monitor demanded for bribe.
On the issue of employment letters, I still maintain my stand. If u doubt me then let us report it to YouWiN secretariat. It can be investigated by the following way: they should check the last survey on job creation and even the trigger, they will notice those who didn't indicate job creation but now have staff appointment letter for approval.
Any statement I make here I can defend.
Because I am sure as much as am sure of my name.
Sorry if my facts offend you, but it is a blunt truth.
However, I still want the house give their view on the issue of those guys so that I can give them better advice.
They are looking into me as a mentor now and I don't want to mislead them.
I beg make una give me idea, make I still dey relevant to them.
Re: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by bizhub: 11:41am On Apr 25, 2015
The monitors are professionals and will act as expert guide to help us succeed in business...Lets apply wisdom and avoid statements that could make this scheme linger further or go back to snail movement in processing..

1. Have u gone to their site, or have u gone to their places to see what they have done, may be what de have done does not match up to what de claim to hve done.
2. The payment voucher de used have u gone tru How de filled it, is d phone number abd signature of those with out receipt there
3. They hav to meet their monitor ask her for the way forward, what she tells dem de hav to provide, if fe cant den they MUST be able to defend and explain why... i think its wen she is not convinced wit their explanation that will lead her to asking for heaven and earth...

I have done so and was told not to worry as my tranche would be released even if independent monitor does not show up. I dont know how true that will be. I've come in contact with another awardee who is supposed to have same independent monitor as me and he said he's not been contacted too. I spoke with my smedan monitor who informed me that a lot of us under him have complained so.
