blink182: I'm not into manufacturing though, I'm a tech based business. All I need is a website, ssl certificate, long term domain purchase and hosting, long term office rent etc, my recurrent expenditure is very minimal with 4 take off staff. I want major expenses handled by the grant while I focus on expanding organically and creating more jobs.

Hmmm brillant package -- You no get issue then

blink182: you made a lot of sense, I wasn't sure at first but now I know I made the right move by ditching my car care centre proposal because all my equipments had to be imported but my current tech plan I can source 100% locally. My only fear is my fixed cost exceeding 40%.

Most proposals that are into Manufacturing and Production ,its so obvious that 40% stand will not be used against them ..They will likely consider people in that category - Mine exceeds that 40%. ..Let's keep our fingers crossed ..We will get there

Promhize: Isn't that supposed to be after the 1st stage

@Blink There is nothing like PDF or Word Docx submission of the proposal ..Everything they need from you ,Its done by you filling out their forms online

They score you based on the answers you give them on the forms
That's why there's every need to take your time to fill the form ..Atimes proposals sound and look good but your answers ruin the whole opportunity
There must be connection bw u and the proposal ..The enthusiasm,the entrepreneur spirit must be felt by them .to give you a nod ..Your answers must create room for employing people ,your answers must describe that the business must break even max after 6months , your answers must also show you will also invest your own money into the business even with the grant no matter how small..This shows you also blv in the biz urself outside the grant ..Local Content - Do not write that you will import your machines , rather tell them your machines will be fabricated here in Nigeria...Let. Your raw material sourcing , be locally
Let every thing you write revolve contributing towards improving. Our own local system. Here ...


These are some of the factors they us in selection ...

[quote author=payless]Jonathan is about to be consumed by his lack of political width and charisma. He is being led by sycophants who don't really mean well for him except for their pockets. I expect Tambuwal and other Northern legislators to declare for APC by February. This should confirm why I said many times that PDP is a Northern party that is supported by some southern slaves mostly based in South-east and South-south. The Nigerian Constitution favours the North more than any other region because, the North dominates the National Assembly; in terms of number. There are more than 68% of PDP legislators in the House of Representatives and Senate. I expect these Northern PDP legislators to desert PDP and move to APC. Jonathan will be left with Akpabio, Orji, Obi, Mimiko, Elechi, Chime and the governor of Cross-River State, Bamanga Tukur, Anenih, Okupe, Gulak, Abati and few others.........

One thing that I know is that, you don't fight the North politically. It is never advisable to let the North have a common enemy. When you fight the North, they tend to come together and fight their opponents regardless of their party affiliations. All the Northern Governors who claim to be in support of Jonathan are currently under pressure to dump Jonathan. Governor of Bauchi and Katsina will be put under a lot of pressure by Emirs and Sultan to dump Jonathan by end of next year. These governors will definitely dump him. Normally, the Northern elites do not favor Buhari but they are ready to support Buhari to get there and deprive Jonathan the second term he so much crave. The North has been threatened by Jonathan utterances of "Igbos are my back bone" "the votes I got from the North only came from Igbos". Those utterances were wrong by the President of Nigeria. As a a matter of fact, it was Sultan of Sokoto and some Emirs who declared support for Jonathan in the North when IBB, Atiku, Adamu Ciroma and others were giving Jonathan tough time. This was at the time of tension in the North in 2011.

The goal of the North is to get anyone from their region elected as President. It doesn't matter who that person eventually is.

Jonathan and his political rookies have woken up a sleeping giant.[/quote



This is just your own understanding about politics - I advise you go amd read the History of Nothern Cameroon - The biggest mistake of the Centruy is these Northern Governors leaving a Ruling National Party to a Regional Party
Time will only tell - These Governors just sold their birth rites...Gradually Nigeria ia been emanicpated naturally from the Northerners ....Have taken your time to analyse the political strength of these Governors ..Believe me they are not strong as perceived by there gullible followers ..

Goodluck is only reading a script for them and foolishly they are playing along .........

Ride on Bro

mrjingles: This thread is EMBARRASSING! Very few comments. Shows most of us are allergic to meaningful stuff. Where are all the youths who cry for FG to "remember the youth" "encourage the youth" etc. The government has thrown down the gauntlet and very few are taking up the challenge. This shows most of our youth are just armchair critics and lazy people. Shame.

ARM CHAIR critics indeed...Don't mind them ..

@ FARMAFRIC - please I just read through the Forms to be filled on YouWin Site

I have a very big issue with one of the Questions

The Question says. How much Money do you want from YouWin ( Break the figure down in relevant categories NOTE , a Maximum of 40% is usually allotted Capital Equipment as the remainder of the award must be sufficient to find operational expenses of growing biz )

My Biz Plan doesn't fall in line with 40% Max alloted to Capital Equipment. ...I need close to 60% of it for my Equipments

I have been wondering what to do ?

Any idea people ...

Funny everyone now is a Consultant on writing Biz Plan and direct people to thr site just to increase traffic on their blogs ..Please If you can't honestly share your ideas on forum and want everyone of us to vist you page ,please bounce

80% of past winners got it without visiting pages , .

Simple advice ....Go the extra mile , task your brain , come up with a viable plan , even if its not a new idea , create a new life into the plan ....take your time develop a short and intelligent answe to most of the Questions

Do you feasibility to ...Stay focused and pray hard ,and it ll be a success

It hurts so bad to see people advertise how they have made millions for others

My brother , millionaires are busy making money not arguing on online forums

Share your idea or STFU

@Uti Please How long does this competition last from your expereince ...and after winning , How long does it take YouWin to disburse the first Tranche -

Someone told me that some banks wrote to them ,trying to lure them to come pick up. Loans

[quote author=stagger]The best thing that will happen to all of you is to stop listening to these self proclaimed YouWIN experts. I encouraged my sister to apply and she never consulted nobody. She wrote her proposal herself and she was awarded.

Simply pay attention to your financials. Your business must be shown to be:

a) Viable and capable of generating the financial milestones.
b) Following from (a), be able to meet the employment milestones.
c) It must be demonstrated that you will be able to make some financial input of your own into the business.
d) You must be able to show good record keeping and ability to keep good accounts.

From here on, add the element of prayer and anything you know you must do spiritually to make your proposal succeed. This is very important. Put all this in practice and pray for the best. You must know that to be one of the best 1,200 out of millions of applicants goes beyond some of all this advice we give here.


You just listed the 4 key factors to Win any Biz Plan Competition ...If you like let your Biz plan be soooooooo good and lucrative and you don't convince the investor on your Financials ., all your work na Super story

@Stagger good points

They are mere liabilities ...both nPDP and PDP can function well without thr input ...The concern is on the Governors-G7 who will split into 2@ the end of the game ..Some for Jona and the foolish ones to APC ..


Please 2015 come fast ,let all these noise making stop
Goodluck till 2019

ckkris: The Princess didn't buy any car. The latest news is the MASSIVE CORRUPTION in Lagos state.

You dey see clear Bro...u are current ..Lagos State Govt stinks ...and yet all these kids around prefer to waste thr energy on nothing

Lekki - Epe buy back concession needs explanation

Gov'rn Fashola - you seem to be good but forces controlling you pass Ogbanje ,they will never rest until they drag you down...I wonder if this is what they intend to offer Nigeria as progressives

Every He-Goat on the street now is a progressive...

Nigeria -

@VIRE. Please stop pushing , simply seek asylum in France , UK or wherever or else the law will catch up on you .....If you are looking for what to preach ...Preach Christ ..He ll remember you on the last day

This has always bin my argument ..Its usually said that He who goes to equity must come with clean hands...If the so called Baraje and his Governors are truely sincere and ve the interest of Nigerians @heart as they have avowed ..There are more decent ways of seeking the Post of the Presidency than asking him not to run....Its sounds Childish..

Jonathan might not be the the kind of Leader every Nigeria wants...Even the Son of God Christ on Earth wasn't accepted by All.but I one thing I have admired in him is his resilience in the face of all distraction ,yet he still does his best to carry everyone along ...I still remember Obj as president. For 8years - He wasn't under much pressure ,He never faced Boko Haram , it was just Odi , Jos ethnic war yet , He cldnt handle ..Obj's tenure was filled with so much looting and corruption ..You darenot raise a hand against his policies...Yet people still praise and worship him till date..

Jonathan inherited an unhealthy economy , an insane market , Old rougues as Politicians wanting to suck the nation dry yet people expect him to do Magic to correct these insanity in 3yrs..

It took Obj 8years to mess the system up ,yet we want this man to turn things around in 3years..

Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but let our opnions be guided by that word Patrotism not Selfihness

As for me and my Family ,I will Vote GEJ 2015 unless He decides not to contest
Until then I haven't seen a better option

The aging of wine, and its ability to potentially improve wine quality, distinguishes wine from most other consumable goods. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, complex chemical reactions involving a wine's sugars, acids and phenolic compounds (such as tannins) can alter the aroma, color, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster. The ability of a wine to age is influenced by many factors including grape variety, vintage, viticultural practices, wine region and winemaking style

oxford: the 'gospel' according to amaechi:

1. everybody in GEJ govt is bad, silly and reckless....NOE, Stella, police commissioner everybody. Only amaechi is good.

2. GEJ is clueless and amaechi should be allow to run the country. Amaechi should be the one to appoint, and deploy police ig, commissioners, ministers. Etc. Amaechi should even be the won protecting our oil installation with jets and helicopters

3. Everything GEJ ever don is wrong: soveregn wealth fund, state of emergency, sure-p anything and everything

4. Only amaechi is a democrate and the rest of us are dictators. Amaechi suspend 10 LG chairmen - that is democracy, amaechi is suspended from pdp - that is dictatorship. Amaechi us police to close dowm a pdp fashion in river state - that is democracy, amaechi npdp fashion is close down - that is dictatorship. Amaechi used his adc to attacked political opponent - that is democracy. Mbu refused to take illegal orders from amaechi - that is dictatorship

5. We all corrupt, only amaechi is not. So why will the efcc investigate a non corrupt gov?

6. The rest of us should all shut up - amaechi is talking.


Amaechi must be some sort of god

God Bless you...He who goes to equity must come with clean Hands .I might not be so in love with some decisions of Mr President but Amaechi is the least of all to claim Saint

Until any Governement in Nigeria starts dishing out policies and strategies to curb this menace called UNEMPLOYMENT ,..I ll never support any against the other...

Amaechi better sheathe those blunt swords of yours

He whom the Gods ve chosen to destroy ,they First make him mad

Pride goes before a Fall

Mr.Sky123:
I want to diversify my business and I have about Six Million naira (6,000,000 Naira) in my bank account and I need extra Five Million Naira ( 5 ,000,000 Naira).
I want to approach my bank for a loan but unfortunately I don't have any collateral to secure the 5,000,000 Naira loan needed for the project.
I want to ask the house how I can procure this loan from any bank with my bank statement of account and the business plan.
Thanks

Bro Talk to any Marketer with DiamondBank ..They offer such loans but. For SMEs..Discuss with them ,they can help.I have one with them

berem: I have told you to run along and stop quoting me. The next time you'll quote me again, i will insult you! you can make your comments without quoting me. you called me a neophyte in politics ,so why replying my comments? kpa cha anya gi!!

@Berem you are free to Insult me .. If I catch u for Ama JK I ll flog you

berem: Rochas affiliated himself with few political parties. that is a normal thing in politics. He solely founded and funded the Action Alliance. I was a member of the party when i was still living in owerri. Because of the nature of politics in Nigeria, he couldn't achieve a lot in the party. So how is he not a substantive political figure? What were Udenwa and Ohakim before they became governors? If you want to mention 10 igbo men who are political bigwigs in the southeast, Rochas is one of them.

@Berem stop all these ur roadside vendor analysis , Rochas gained Political relevance for the first time with APGA as Governor of Imo State..He might have done well for himself in his business , and created a name bt that does not make him a force to reckon with in Imo State ..Orange Drugs , Leo Stan ,Odimegwu and Co ve done well for themselves in thr areas of endeavour bt that doesn't make them Political Leaders over night

If you know this ur Rochas well or have been opportune to relate with him..You will understand him better , He is simply a DEMAGOGUE ..and not a Political Leader..

You are entitled to your opinion tho .

berem: continue laughing at your stewpidity and ignorance. watch APC win in Imo state come 2015.

@Berem Typical xteristics of a kid ..abuses and insults that's what u all know...I blame ASUU ..you must not contribute in every discussion..

berem: Umeh, i bukwa onye ara! APGA knows they have completely lost Anambra to PDP, they are now looking for a way to reclaim Imo state to go back to APGA! Odikwa egwu o!

Imo State will never be an APGA state!!

Ndi Ara!!

@Berem ,Honestly I laff out loud to most of your comments on Politics..Nne your are still a neophyte when it comes to political discussions esp in Imo...Unless Rochas retraces his cunny and selfish steps , He will fade away like others...PDP ,APGA might look weak on the surface in Imo ,deep down the marrow , they re still in control
Rochas has failed to listen to good advices but rather chosen the part of failure ..
I use to admire him then when he got in as the Governor ,He sounded like someone who has a vision for the state but to the suprise of many of us ..He is just an empty barrel..Yes He speaks well but acts less...Even his so called associates and close politicians do not blv in him any longer ..

Bookmark my comments ...APC , Rochas , and crew can't return in 2015..I do not know who but the favor of God has departed from him
He can only wonder aimlessly till then

chukwudi44: Rochas had better be careful!!! If he decides to fight the catholic church which comprises about 70% of the states population he will be finised politically.He should not forget what happeded to Ohakim and how he got to power in the first place.Abortion is murder except when the pregnacy endangers the mother's life.Even if a child comes from rape he should be allowed to live

Those of you arguing oterwise,assuming of your daughter is raped and somehow manages to give birth to a baby resulting from its pregancy will it be rigt to still kill the baby after it has already been born simply because his father was a rapist?

So it becomes murder even when the child is a few hours old but legal abortion even when the mother is 8 months pregmants.Taking of human life is bad.There is no two ways about it.

It is simply a use of differant terminologies to describe the same act

Godbless you Bro...

Food Science and Technology is a lovely course...I am a graduate of the Department , Msc in Food Science and intending to go for a PhD soon ..Its a vast discipline with several options ranging from microbiolgy,health , biotechnology and lots more ..If you are in this great deaprtment ,God has a big purpose for u

The rumours keep getting louder and assumptions turning into reality, there are strong indications that Wande Coal is parting ways with his current record label Mavin Records.



Wande, inside sources tell us has been contemplating a move now for months and has already launched his own entertainment outfit Black Diamond Entertainment. Sources close to the talented singer tell NET that Wande wants to be in total control of his music career and will be releasing his long awaited second album under his own imprint.

Wande has continually postponed his upcoming album for reasons he’s never told us; in April he promised us a June 6, 2013 release. It’s close to two months and we are still waiting…

Even though both parties aren’t speaking, their actions seem to be doing the talking – Wande released a new single ‘Kilaju‘ today (July 30, 2013) under his Black Diamond Entertainment (the ubiquitous Mavin Records logo is missing from the official cover art). More so, Don Jazzy who seems to be omnipresent on social network Twitter has not mentioned Wande Coal, tweeted or retweeted anything related to the release.

The last five years have been quite rocky for Mr Wande, after dropping his very successful solo debut ‘Mushin 2 Mohits‘ in 2008, Wande has found himself in troubled waters – in 2010, he ‘went global’ when a picture of him naked leaked on the internet.

Despite all of this, Wande has managed to release chart topping singles, trending globally.

The demand from his ever-thirsty fans has remained constant all through the years, and he seems he now wants to take his future into his own hands.
