i am interested in the protest.

dexter1983:
2 offer letters[3.7M and 5M], myself and a friend but we couldn't get guarantors up till now...How many people since this programme commenced have actually completely met the guarantors criteria and money disbursed to them... i believe the vision of this programme is defeated if 50 percent cant make it..we have over 1200 from each batch, i really want to be sure if they are up to 10 across the whole nation that have fully provided a guarantor and cash disbursed after their offer from BOI since inception of YES.

THE Worst that can happen to anyone is seeing your offer letter after months of commitments and hardwork but you cant meet one of the major conditions[guarantor].

Mavoro:
The letter of offer really made a lot of people excited, as if without guarantor BOI is going to give anybody money.

Hello bro,

Please clarify, are guarantors required to be provided when submitting application or after loan approval i.e. after collecting offer letter?

Thanks and happy new year

dexter1983:
How about an open letter to the president on this YES-P? I think if we can sponsor it on punch newspaper or one of the media houses..we will get desired result, that is if we are ready to sponsor it in any print media houses...it willtake a whole page in Punch newspaper..everyone that needs to hear will hear about it asap.

Mavoro:
Let me see if the Abuja meeting will work or not.

dexter1983:


i have written a 3-5 page detailed letter to the president on this which will require little fact check and editing and we can pay 1k or 500h each to raise about 200k to print it in punch. lets see how the abuja outing goes sha...i believe this will send a strong message to all concerned and wide coverage too. if we can get 200 boi applicants we can do this...

Mavoro:
Nice one, i just hope Abuja yields positive result.

dexter1983:


Any media coverage for the abuja protest?media is key in this agenda

I can state with some degree of certainty that the requirement to have a guarantor worth 5m is not true. I would suggest you visit any of their office closest to you to find out the status of your application. Forget what was said during the training program first and let them tell you in person.
I've been in and out of their Abeokuta office and my own experience isnt what the op raised, met a guy there who was very helpful. No harm in trying.
