Comments from Nigerians

Some of the Youwin beneficiaries have created 4 direct jobs and up to 30 indirect jobs

Some say the world bank has recognized the wonderful initiative has one of the leading job creation exercise in Africa and may bankroll it instead of giving aids

The problem with Nigeria is lack of continuity, they will rather shout corruption so to excite their followers rather than continuing with the program and thinking of a way to make it more efficient.

Wow

Why did did administration stop it. Entered 4 it but never completed it coz d process is too long

Nigeria, my Nigeria!

Nigeria...where beautiful ideas just crash like a 'heavily infested' laptop!

Nigeria...where cacophony often replaces harmony

If only youths can have a single voice, and unite under co-operative umbrellas...then approach international agencies for assistance! It won't work, right? That's what they will always say...

Npower is just like Youwin in greener shades.

But what's the difference between YouWin and the Heritage Bank Yes program or N-Power?

Senator Bruce is leading the people on another merry go round of hate. I don't like buhari but the two programs i mentioned above seem excellent to me. We should at least see how far they go before we start crying foul. There's so much copy and paste these days people no longer think.
smh

God bless GEJ
