I applied for the Youwin Enterprise for a lady and she has been mailed concerning the application saying that she wasn't successful after all my thinking, brain cracking and making sure the proposal meets an entrepreneurial requirements and targets, but one thing i think could have been a factor was the fact that she only wanted N1m. i think they must have looked at it as a small business that may not employ up to 10 other people, so i want to use this opportunity to ask if any lady has been contacted so far.

bibiji: I MADE IT THROUGH. THIS IS MY SECOND TRIAL AND I CAN TELL U WIT ALL HONESTY DAT THIS SCHEME IS FOR REAL. IDENTIFY UR LAPSES, WORK EXTRA HARD TO WRITE A BETTER PROPOSAL AND TRY IT NEXT YEAR AND U WIL BELIEVE DAT THIS NATION IS GRADUALLY CHANGING FOR THE BETTER.

bibiji: I APPLIED FOR 10M

kaysy:

Olucheye:

Don't think cutting down the costs of her proposal is best. If the idea is great it should be supported!
Detailed analysis of cost in tune with project cost should be fine.
Never believed in the scheme tho.

Aafulenu: i applied and i scaled through, applied for 8.5m. i just hope i make the final 1200 winners

mrkels: [size=13pt]The 2012 winners who and who did they employ apart from their friends and families? I didn't see any advert requesting for capable/qualified manpower. I stand corrected though.[/size]

Prof JYK: @OP I share your views, worked with someone who applied for 3.1m and wasn't successful.

uihebom: Do you guys know how shameful dis youwin thing is?a whole FG worth Billions of naira, and they are just giving 1 or 2 peopl 1million every month or wat. I just hope oyibo no hear dis kind thing, dey will know we are all jokers in dis country.

Please can u ladies tell us how many other people your company tends to employ, and what is the nature of your business. thanks

Aafulenu:

you dont expect me to tell my business ideas in a public forum do u? and for a start i would be employing 10 staffs. both skilled and unskilled.

Aafulenu:

before u start saying things u dont knw much about u read up first. this youwin execise is just for 1200 people only with the range of 1m -10m. this is just a part of the reinvestment of subsidy that was removed. and there is nothing shameful about it.

Parnassuss: Come, come...The poster blatantly comes out to say HE APPLIED for a lady and BRAINSTORMED for her. I am sooo happy that he didn't get the prize and if God is good it will continue to elude him/her. Whilst I see nothing wrong in copying someone else's presentation format I will not abide with this attempt to continue the circle of wrongdoing. Let the lady come and present her own idea and you help her draft it, nothing wrong in that but you using her as a front for your own gains is just shortchanging those other hardworking women who have not turned to anyone but themselves to achieve their goals.

The program is a good one, and apparently one of the few government programs that has not become a party loyalty scheme.

A more serious government however would have a more comprehensive scheme that would affect the lives of more people.

Consider, for instance, if government gave such a grant to every 2.1 graduate in Nigeria every year. The conditions would be simple: you attend a 3 month business training workshop, which at the end, you draw up a comprehensive business plan. With your NYSC number, you collect your loan/grant, and launch your business. That would affect more lives and make more meaning. They can even give you a case officer/mentor to monitor your progress.

It appears to me sometimes that government is just trying to do as little as possible to achieve a little sense of governance. Just create a tiny semblance of governance to give a little hope, but the main aim really is looting.

They should go and study Lulu da Silva of Brazil's presidency. With small loans to poverty stricken families, 10 million people were lifted out of poverty in 8 years in power. That is what I call governance...not stipends to a thousand Nigerians out of 160 million people.
