hello guys, i stay at port harcourt and was invited to pitch at lagos. The timing was poor since the lagos pitch is tomao. Do i just attend the port harcourt pitch with the pitch code they gave me. since i can't really reach their line.

When were you given a pitch code? Today?

I got a rejection message yesterday and early this morning go this, I reside in kano and am seriously confused to either go or not to. Plz any advice nairalanders.

This is an invitation to attend the event..as an observer..

I sent in two different ideas and received sms for both, one location for Lagos and one for port-Harcourt.. Since Lagos is tomorrow and I am not close enough, I don't know how to go about it..I am in Uyo currently.. I will work hard for the one of Port Harcourt.

PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THAT....ITS A SCAM ! PLEASE PEOPLE GET WISE

How do you know it is a scam??

holahabib:
@feezy pls was this message sent to you on whatsapp?
Anyone else got a message

No o.. I believe our ideas are still being scrutinized.. I pray we finally make it.

HealthSecrets:
Pls what of anybody that didn't register, can they still attend the program to pitch?

And pls what was the reply you guys get after that sending your preferred location to the number

Bro you can gate crash the event o..
No reply yet, but am pretty sure before the end of this week those of us who will be shortlisted will be notified

ChelseaDotCom:
Yea, I received it too. I created the other thread. Port Harcourt has been added to the locations too, that's great.

Yeah I think it is a wise move.. The time is too short to mobilise everyone to Lagos together.. I still believe there will be room for more ideas to pitch instead of the other day 100 that was expected to pitch at Lagos

holahabib:
Same thought i had too but then i tried calling the airtel number on the SMS to try to clarify, my truecaller says its Charles Aborishade. The line is either not picked up or busy.

I've bought my ticket now so i'm really confused as to what to do. Because if i leave for Lagos tomorrow and i've confirmed to this SMS which i'm not sure about that i prefer Abuja and then all of a sudden i receive a message to come and pitch in Abuja.....wahala.

See what I found out about Charles Aborishade
"Charles is a Certified Hootsuite Professional whose expertise on social media content development and engagement is sought by individuals and startup businesses across Nigeria."
Let's hope it is legit.. Too bad, You in some real challenge there..You will have to come back to Abuja to pitch if you are picked. no two ways about that. I chose Lagos though.

holahabib:
Guys i don't understand. The Pitch is in Lagos specifically at Landmark center. How come all of a sudden we are getting an SMS asking us to choose a location. I got the SMS too, i have replied it but if this is truly from the organizers then its a bit shabby. The website could have at least been updated or a proper email sent out. Even after registering there is no email notification of receipt and i doubt if anyone has received an email invitation.

Anyway, i had just left after booking my ticket to Lagos for tomorrow, even though Abuja would be most convenient for me. So i hope this SMS modality gives us a proper feedback.

I was sceptical at first about sending in the details but then I remembered that there was no other way we could have been contacted if not through our phone numbers. I also saw landmark on the site, I believe they are trying to bring it closer and eliminate more persons..

killafree:
I go the sms this afternoon

Wow..That makes it legit then, I was scared when I saw the "bare" phone number. I was expecting them to ask us to send an email to them.. It's all good bro, I pray we are selected..

I just created a topic to that effect. I also got an SMS

I just got this message not long ago from AVDD. it reads,
Good afternoon. Please treat this as urgent. If you were to (be) selected to pitch at the Aso Villa Demo Day, which location would you prefer, Logos, Abuja or Port-Harcourt? Send your preferred location and Start-up name to (08026196882) within an hour of receipt of this SMS.
Please who else got this message??

Haha.. sorry to laugh.. so sorry for the loss brother, lessons well learnt.. You will see him one lucky day, he will pay double!!

I foresee red card in this game...

Let me pitch my tent here.. hala Madrid

Hala Madrid.. let's go

Oh I forgot to add that there would be free popcorn for the first 20 persons

N500 seems big. Check this out:
Phone chargers - N500 Tenure 1 month
Earphones - N300 Tenure 3 weeks at most and you get another
Food - Chicken N250 Fries N150 Malt N130
But for that same amount you will FOREVER be changing the lives of countless members of THREE communities.
As you will be going a long way ending their daily suffering of trekking for miles just to get stream water which we are made to know from biology has the capability of wiping off the community should a water borne disease carrier as much as take a dip.
Not only are you saving lives, but most especially you would be watching all the intrigues and suspense as demanding of a Silverbird HD cinema shown movie.
And you don't even have to pay N300 transport fare (from annex to Tropicana) for it. This is a LIFE CHANGING MOVIE. And a must watch. Literally and figuratively. Save the time 5:30pm. Barth Ebong. See you there..

Males against females? That's quite unfair. However, I'm not seeing you there oh.



Ok I get..You're the investor who is interested in the club? Abramovich Akpe

It wasn't males against females sir, we had our own unique concept. The females from both sides played the first half while the males from both sides played the second half and the goals accumulated for both teams. That was how we won, the ladies actually scored the goals, it was goalless in the second half. This has not happened in the history of football.. lol.

Erm, I was the coach, you can call me Ranieri Akpe.

photo from the football match today.. Enactus uniuyo won Impact Leaders Club by 3 goals to 1.

Pweezy:
surely, any member who was actively involved in the team's activity can hardly be found wanting

Yeah.. you are right.. There is just no way you won't do well in the outside world. cheers!!

Yennie18:
