Hello neksummi. I knew you from youwin3 official thread. I got the mail too, in fact was thinking at some point if it was real as I couldn't find anyone who got a similar mail. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by neksummi(m): 3:23pm On Feb 11, 2016 |
Happy to connect with you guys. If any receives any new update, share here please. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by Akik(m): 10:46am On Feb 18, 2016 |
Hello. I also received the same message. What is their plan as they have gingered ones moral again. No date for communication! May Allah Assist |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by neksummi(m): 3:56pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
No date for anything! Let's just keep praying that we all receive the grant as we've come a long way. I understand that not all people who reached the final round were invited and that some people who didn't scale through second round were invited. This makes me think they've reviewed our applications again and selected us as the best based on whatever new criteria they're using. May this chance not pass us by in Jesus' name. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by neksummi(m): 4:01pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
So what businesses did you guys submit plans on? Even without the grant, we can patronize one another. I entered for Internet Marketing Training Program and Online Payment Processor. I'm already into the first one and wish to start the second when I receive the grant. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by eetua: 9:26pm On Feb 23, 2016 |

eetua: I received an email today after the GEM email in December. It reads like a scam to me. I don't know. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by neksummi(m): 2:47pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
vivixander: It isn't scam. Congratulations! eetua: No. I just received today notification of non selection. Congrats to your sister. Life goes on! Looking forward to future competitions. |

Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by fatiaforreal: 6:12pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
Alhamdulilai! I saw the mail today, though it was sent on Tuesday. My heart goes specifically to Neksummi. Allah has something bigger for you because He doesn't allow our efforts and prayers to go in vain. I know you're a hardworking guy, little surprise you're the one who came up with this thread. May God make it easy for the Government, ministries, and agencies associated with this programme. May His blessings be on every kobo and His guidance for judicious use of funds and in making economic decisions. Amin 3 Likes |

Alhamdulillah, What a great favour! What is meant for you in 2016 can't be achieved in 2014. What a life. Further to the confirmation of your interest in participating in the GEM programme, we are delighted to inform you that your business plan was selected for funding in the BIG Portal Accelerator grant window. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by kukoki: 8:15am On Feb 27, 2016 |
So up next is the event, do they call you or text u from bank?. And let's share ideas on how the event will be, but meanwhile let's wait for their response on the agreement memo, and disbursement schedule memo. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by jochukcy03(m): 4:27pm On Feb 27, 2016 |

Further to the confirmation of your interest in participating in the GEM programme, we are delighted to inform you that your business plan was selected for funding in the BIG Portal Accelerator grant window. The GEM Programme has carefully reviewed and discussed your business plan, looking at the merits of the plan from a number of perspectives including viability, sustainability, development impact and the strength of the business case presented. |
Re: Award Under The Growth And Employment (GEM) Project by neksummi(m): 7:20pm On Feb 27, 2016 |
Akik: True. There's time for everything. For me, I solely belief in God's right timing for my life. When the time comes they'll favour my own type of business. As I said earlier, we can patronize one another. I can see here more than 10 websites that I will be asked to design. And if you'd want your business to be discovered online by your customers, Neksummi Global Services can help you do that. Just get in touch: 08063306838. fatiaforreal: Thanks. I'm also very happy for you guys. To me these funds are just additions. So I'll keep striving until my own comes. And it'll surely come. |
