Could the 7-week recess by members of the National Assembly have slowed down the DPR recruitment process? This is just a speculation, but then in Nigeria things are done differently.
We are supposed to catch you and flog you 12 strokes of the cane for this question you just asked, wetin concern Dpr recruitment with senate recess, kontunu speculating sir.

All we need now is someone with reliable information concerning how DPR intends to Shortlist for the next stage (when)..
.. other than that whatever you post could lead to insult or scrutiny... some people have free wifi where they are... they can comment 1 million times and not make a single point....
Bro, I bet you nobody has any reliable information about DPR on this thread, everyone is just guessing, those with reliable information are not on this thread, because someone knew how the last DPR recruitment process was ran, doesn't mean this particular recruitment will move the same way, things have changed. I've seen situations were people with God fathers don't get a Job and i have also seen where people with Godfathers don't even patake in any of the recruitment process but get their appointment letter delivered to their house.

I would advise everybody here to wait for the next mail from DPR, if you make it for the next stage, you prepare, pray and go for it, if you don't make it to the next stage, brace up and keep trying, there are other better Jobs out there, you wouldn't know where God is taking you too.Dont hope on any man!

My advice to everyone here is these:
Don't let anyone kill your hope, don't let anyone make you feel like if you don't know any Godfather you can't get this Job, don't let anyone discourage you because you didn't click submit, don't let the wait for this Job keep you on standstill, keep moving already.

As for me the next mail will determine the next move as regards to DPR, if not I have moved on already. I'm only here on this thread to catch fun and learn about new opportunities.

I'm waiting for insults as regards to this post already. shocked

All the best guys!

Dear Youwin 3 Awardees;
Let's all have one voice, this is a time we need to be united as awardees and let the secretariate know that they can actually help us fasten the remainder tranches or just the 2nd disbursement if possible before hand over, fighting ourselves won't help. In as much as we were advised to see our first tranche as the last, there are business that can't be operational with the first tranche no matter how u squeeze, or will we now say that those in this category are unwise by starting something with the hope that GEJ will return? Please I beg us as Youwin 3 awardees to come together for you never know what a united voice can do.
And let's be smart enough to know that its not all that post on this thread are youwin3 awardees, some ain't awardees but just come here to disorganise and spoil the Youwin project. Lets not be quick to counter all post we see here especially the non-positive ones, lets learn to ignore them please. Thanks
BusinessRe: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by Chokomate: 1:18pm On Dec 24, 2014
My people oooo, but on a serious note though, my post regarding the postponement of our first tranch until after festivity has nothing attached to it o, I just posted what I felt those Youwin guys must have probably had in mind too, even most of us here if we will say the truth, we self at a point don comot mind say the first tranch fit enter this year again until January.... As for me I don't believe its what I said or what anybody says here that will affect our Youwin funds, Youwin Secretariat is an organisation filled with intellectuals and organised people that carry out there activities professionally. We all know all agencies and parastatals are on the verge of balancing there accounts for the year and core activities will begin again next year. But on the contrary if una feel say na me they talk wetin Youwin they hear now esp @bamistol my brother, then make una no vex abeg, but I also wan let una know too say if na me they talk wetin them they hear then una no go see any money for una account, because as a 9ja guy I go tell them make them push every come my account grin
With the spirit and love that comes along with this great season, I wish every nook and cranny a merry Christmas celebration. A big shout out to my oga @bamistol

@ chokomate pls tell them not to collect white goat on credit cos serious monitoring will follow immediately.
I guess some angry ones really wanted to use some of the 1st tranche to do something else while some like us had the burden to employ and grow our wealth and move our country forward
Bros strigger, like say Bami don collect oo, I they fear for am masef.
BusinessRe: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by Chokomate: 12:53pm On Dec 24, 2014
bamistol:
Yes, you have a powerful point here. And I still make bold to declare that with the dwindling economy, undue delay nobody will think of wasteful festive spending of the government grant that is supposed to be used for job creation and business breakthrough. NOBODY. The money is for our breakthrough and I know that when we use the fund for the business God will raise us to celebrate more glorious Christmas and New Year.

If we consider the mail sent by YouWiN and read between lines, we will realize that they almost quoted Chokomate. Check it below:

"Please be informed that disbursement of Tranche 1 has been temporarily put on hold. The decision to halt the process of payment is to reduce the risk of Awardees’ diverting their YouWiN! funds for the festive season."

I still believe this comment was quoted from posts on this forum. For this reason, we need to guide our utterances on this thread.

And some of those who even claim to be settling quarrel were indirectly taking sides buttressing the point that awardees will truly divert the funds.

Quarrel apart. On a serious note, pls let us watch our post so that we will not implicate our chances.

please we all have our good plans and NOT PLAN TO DIVERT FUNDS and most of our plans have lead time which if missed will drastically affect the business execution negatively.

Again I appeal to the house that in cracking jokes and in serious discussion just note that we are talking to the public where everybody has access to read, INCLUDING YouWiN staff and staff from Ministry of Finance as well as presidency.

My point of anger was 1st the undue delay, then I felt insulted when chokomate jokingly said that some awardees are planning to use some of the YouWiN first tranche to buy white goat and ankara. As far as I am concern my opinion is that anyone whom the government has decided to help breakthrough and to take part in nation building through job creation will NOT plan to divert and waste the fund on festivity. Are they following the person from the village? Even if some evil people are following the person from the village wont he/she pray to God to help send them back.

"A word", they say "is enough for the wise." This more than a word

CONCLUSION:
1. Let us watch our posts as well as our jokes
2. YouWiN3 awardees are wise enough to plan on how to make judicious use of their first tranche for their business
3. It is still on this thread that someone advised YouWiN3 awardee to use the first tranche very well so as not to get hooked between the first and second tranche.
Hahahhahaa Bami, na me send the mail to all awardees na. But wait first, why you they vex like this self? Your own too much oo, I don they suspect u oo.

Why wont YouWin shift the release of the first tranche when some people are already alleging that some awardee will use their YouWin first tranche to buy white goat and ankara and some jokingly responded that they will even use it to buy cow. Some of us don't know that YouWin staff always check nairaland and other forums to see comments. In order to play safe, they simply choose NOT to crack expensive joke. Well, Una don crack joke carry am bring extension. Anyway God de ooooooo.

I would have still demanded for another apology, but since it has been done on your behalf. No qam...
Hahahhaha this my brother Bami, I too like you ehn, you gather mouth. No worry January our first must show and we all go jolly forget say them been delay us, the next fight na on how to disturb them again for the 2nd tranch, because as it is right now myself and many other awardees here have already mapped out what to do with the first tranch already and I bet you it won't last up to a month before we exhaust it judiciously, na 2nd tranch be the koko, so get ready bro because that time na double disturbance we go use finish them.
Happy Xmas o jarejare grin

In view of u people's intervention. I rest my case. God bless u all.

Now to business: I went to my bank and they told me that the info they got from YouWin last week made them to so much expected the first tranche on Monday and that they also expected throughout this week. They said they are also eager to see awardees starting their biz.

They even said that they are confused at this juncture because both YouWin 1 and 2, none entered another year. in fact that none reach 3rd week in December, that they thought that YouWiN will be improving each year.
I guess you should have seen the latest mail from Youwin by now? Lol, so I think its you that needs to apologise to me now. No money for you until after the festivity, so I am waiting for your apology... grin

@bamistol let me apologize on his behalf, actually what he really meant was that youwin might not want to pay now since it is festive period. some persons may be tempted to make use of some part of it for the celebration. certainly true but let's forgets abt it for now and pray they pay before Christmas because like he rightly said my own na Christmas I want take am do. but instead of goat that he said my own na cow I wan buy.....................

QUOTED FROM Chokomate post: "some people are already planning on how to buy that white goat and waybill it to the villa, or buy that latest Ankara.... Lol, Youwin ain't that dul..."

Again, we deserve an apology because we are NOT fools to start planing to use YouWin money for white goats or ankara as you alleged.

What it takes to be a man is to acknowledge your error when you utter misguided statement and go against your ego to apologize for it.

Again, your apology to the house for the above statement which I also quote from your post again below:

I do NOT believe this BAD news!
Am sure this YouWin 3 awardees are NOT that stupid that they will waste YouWin grant on festivity.
January is worse month to start business and February is the worst because of election. The earlier the money come the better.
Talking of holiday is YouWin a nursery, primary or secondary school that they will start their holiday Friday 19th December as other schools are going on vacation? Despite the unfavorable delay if the 1st tranche still come this week it will still help us to rescue part of the negative situation.
Even those in school business need the money badly this December
Just imagine those into school: having missed the opportunity to start full preparation in August against September 1st term, will they now miss the 2nd chance to start preparation in December against January resumption
Is it possible to jump into starting school in January and expect good result? That means no prior preparation... "He that fails to prepare, prepares to fail"
I am expecting the 1st tranche this December.

Your comment on some people that you accused of waiting for YouWin grant to buy "white goat" or "ankara" is an insult on the persons and integrity of YouWin 3 awardee. I repeat, "We are NOT stupid to waste YouWin grant on festivity. We deserve immediate apology from you...

@Chokomate, pls dont provoke some of us to download words that are rumbling inside of us. The situation is already tensed. everything is already abnormal, let us just allow the sleeping dog to lie.
Mr bamistol, if I can still recall clearly I didn't tag your name on my post or did I? I posted my comment just like everybody here has been doing, so its your business if you decide to be tensed or untensed, after all I am not the one holding your money so to say... If you think January and February is a bad month for you to start business, if Youwin pays the money into your account you can simply refund it back. And for your information I have my freedom of speech just like you, so don't use my post to pure out your anger.

Meaning? is the payment coming 2morrow?
I hope you guy know Youwin ain't paying out first tranches until after the holidays, some people are already planning on how to buy that white goat and waybill it to the villa, or buy that latest Ankara.... Lol, Youwin ain't that dull, I bet you guys they won't want to hear excuses next year when someone comes up with a gist that the festive period swallowed up all his/her first tranch cash when him/she was trying to gamble a transaction hoping it would fetch double returns.
I still stand on my word, first week of January as I always tell my friends(co-awardees), this year is already late and perhaps Youwin wants to hold everybody accountable this time around so that what happened to Ali will not happen to Simbi (idiom)... Let's just put our hopes on January so that we won't spoil the holidays with over expectation.
I love you guys....

Kelechukwu clap for yourself then, since you applied alone you should go alone or are you looking for who you will share transport or accommodation cost with? I think you should deep hands into the grant you might get in 6months time, run the expenses with it, then replace it later.

Also some banks are asking awardee's to bring initial deposit ranging from 20K to 50K.

Those guys at Zenith Asked me for 50K initial deposit, I refused. I simply asked them the cost of the search fee, which is 6K and the cost of cheque book, which is N1050, I just deposited 7.5K and left.

I have my details now, just waiting for further instructions from Youwin!

Anyone here know when the presidential award will hold please?
I love your style bro grin My Account details will be ready tomorrow, Stanbic IBTC is an organised bank.
As for the presidential lunch, its on 25th of this month and it is also on the Youwin website when you check the arrow carrying dates below, on the right hand side of the page.

Thanks for your response. Now to your questions:
1. Attaching the proficiency certificate means that I must include the persons name, passport and signature also in the registration documents
2. The guy with the certificate is NOt interested in any partnership. He ONLY assisted me to get through with CAC regsitration

Please what will be your own advice, some people have offered some suggestions. We really need to brainstorm. Thanks
Ok sunnylee, just go for the court affidavit tommorow as you intend, that's a good idea since you will have 95%. Keep the document intact and take it along with you on your signing day and explain everything to them okay, I want to believe that its not just you with this kind of complication, by Gods grace the ministry of finance and Youwin secretariat will find a way to handle this issue most deff since its not your fault, it was a basic requirement you had to meet.
The God that brought you this far won't leave you half way, he will surely complete that which he started for us all. Most importantly start fasting from tommorow till your signing day if you haven't started, pray and God will do exceedingly I bet you.
Have faith mi bro! Cheers
BusinessRe: Youwin Business Competition 2013 by Chokomate: 2:56pm On Oct 19, 2014
Let me first of all ask some questions on some detaiks you excluded;
Does attaching the proficiency certificate means you guys are automatically partners in your business? Does the CAC certificate reflect your both names on it? Sunnylee I think why they asked you to get that proficiency certificate was just like getting a bank customer with a current account to surety you in the bank when you want to open a savings account and you don't have an ID card, in my opinion I think you where asked to get that document as a form of surety because of the sensitivity in the media or broadcasting industry these days, unless otherwise stated that you and the other party are owners of the business or maybe you are into an agreement with the other party to be your partner because he agreed to help you, if otherwise, I don't think you have a problem using his document as a neccesity to get your business name registered.
This is my opinion.
sunylee1:
Fellow YouWiN! millionaires (YouWiN! 3 Provisional Awardees) I am also a provisional awardee and I want you peoples advices on a point that has been bordering me. Precisely those that will do their validation tomorrow can please help with advice from the experience tomorrow.

THE QUESTION:
In my YouWiN proposal I piut in for a media business and when I wanted to do my CAC registration of business name, they (in CAC) insited that I must provide a proficiency certificate, which I dont have; then they advised me to get someone that has the certificate so that I can attache it and include the persons name and passport in the registration document, which I did before they approved my documents for registration.

From the Legal document that YouWiN! sent us I noticed there that part of the demand for new business is that it MUST be a sole proprietorship, and based on my knowledge of business, sole proprietorship means only 1 person regsitered for a busniess and running the business.

Also, there was a mail that YouWiN! sent sometime ago before they selected winners that partnership is NOT allowed for new business and that any new business found to be in partnership will be disqualified adding that partnership is ONLY permitted for exixting business.

In the light of the above, what is the advice of my fellow nairalanders?
What do you advice I do?
