okparaugo: Long story cut short. YOU do not, that is the simple answer. by business man you mean that you want to apply for this scholarship, thinking that the people who set up a billion dollar project are as stupid as your nigerian govt, and that they will waste their reaources on your fraudulent thinking which is none other to hope that they will somehow give you 'cash' so you can run away with it and fund ya business. isiewu in reality you will not smell....talkless of touch....a penny. so dont bother applying and wasting other people's opportunity and go an apply elsewhere for a loan to fund ya made in aba business. i wish you all di best |
