Does anyone know the prerequisite/license to be a
business developer.

Thanks mikky,
I forgot to include I studied Office Technology and management. The Polytechnic ibadan, with GP 3.39( lower credit).
Pls what are my chances next academic calendar.
Thanks for the swift response.

Pls what is the requirement for HND business administration

Please who knows any business developer in Nigeria?
Or does anyone know the prerequisite to be a business developer?

It seems tomorrow will never come today.
The agony of hope and faith had been long forgotten.
I wished I never dream too big.
I wished I would be giving another chances to prove my worth.
A night goes by, the lingering of another day brought pains and deceit into my mind. I felt depressed not just because of the hope of seeing another new day !but of the agony of seeing another dreams fly me by.
We came to this earth to filled a void(so we believe), and when you see such dreams fading away you got to be depressed,
You felt why had life offer me pains on the platter of sliver.
I wished I could retrace myself.
I now indulge in loud blasting music to pull my emotion within me.
I stopped halfway last year to see how far have I had gone. The grade was perfect. The momentum was there. The spirit was willin. Admit mid october all shattered into preamble of a nursery school hymn.
I wish we could be able to compensate our successful days with the depressed days.

Am here alone typing jargons and not having ideas of what am typing.....sounds terrible right?

Marry a person you would be able to curtail her excess not believing that later things will be sorted out

First and foremost, I must show sincere appreciation to nairalander who posted information here freely and those who took their time to answer question...I only have a words to offer: Your reward are coming soon(Amen).
I felt it neccesary to keep our selves posted till whenever we are going for the launching(amen).
So let keep ourselves updated.

Some FaQs I considered necessary.
What is YouWiN?
YouWiN stands for Youth Enterprise with Innovation
in Nigeria. It is an innovative business plan

Must I be registered with CAC to apply?
For existing businesses, you must be registered with
CAC. For new business ideas, you do not have to be
registered with CAC. However, sponsors of new
businesses that win awards in this competition will
be required to register fully with CAC prior to
receiving any award funds.
My business is a partnership, how many

your business and employ Nigerian youth.
How will my business be funded?
You will be paid by installments based on pre-agreed
project targets and employment creation over a one
year period.

The program will run for three consecutive years.
Since this is an equity grant from the

No. The grant is government’s contribution to your

Your ideas are safe. Everybody that has access to

I was asked to refine some sections of my

award ceiling and disbursement schedule be
sent to me?
The Enterprise Development Center (EDC) will
evaluate your submissions and determine the award
ceiling for your business.
When will I receive my Tranche 1 funds? I have
opened an account and submitted my CAC
documents to the Secretariat.
The Secretariat prepares the disbursement schedule
for approval by the Federal Ministry of Finance in
Batches – as awardees become ready.
My Tranche 1 amount will not be enough to
purchase any machinery or rent an office, what
do I do?
The Tranche 1 funds are to set-up business activities
such as securing licenses (e. g NAFDAC, Ministry of
Education etc) where applicable. Tranche 2 is more
substantial and can be used for capital expenditure.
When will the Tranche 2 funds be paid?
Tranche 2 will be processed and paid after
recommendation for disbursement has been
confirmed by monitors.
I cannot meet the turnover and employ the
number of people expected in my disbursement
schedule, what do I do about this?
Monitors will review your business plan and agree
together with you, the minimum milestones that
should be achieved by your business based on your
business plan and award amount during the 1st
monitoring visit.
Who should I talk to about making some
modifications to my business plan?
Your monitor.

20 Signs You’re A Creative Person.
The world would be a dreadful place without creative
people. Could you even imagine life without art? The
thought alone makes me tremble. Could you be the
next William Shakespeare, Steven Spielberg, or J.K.
Rowling? Find out with these 20 signs you’re a
creative person.
1. You have an authority problem.
Creative types don’t always get along well with
management because they would rather march to the
beat of their own drum.
2. You have a hard time relating with people.
Most people have a strong desire to fit in, something
that you don’t understand. Conformity is gross.
3. You like to solve problems.
While most people are running and hiding from
problems, you purposely seek them because you love
nothing more than a fresh new challenge.
4. You are your own worst critic.
You wrote a blog many months ago and thought it was
wonderful at the time you published it. But then you
read it again later and wonder, “What the hell was I
thinking?” You then identify approximately a thousand
ways it could have been better and kick yourself for
being so silly.
Note: Coincidentally, this is why I REFUSE to read my
own old blogs and articles.
5. You ask lots of questions.
A stagnant mind devoid of curiosity doesn’t have the
capacity to create.
6. You carry a notebook everywhere you go.
Because how else can you remember all those brilliant
ideas that strike you on the fly?
7. You find beauty in the ordinary.
Creatives live in the present and are in constant awe
of the world around them.
8. You are numb to rejection.
Let’s face it: it’s a hard world out there. If becoming a
writer or actor or artist was easy, a lot more people
would do it. Getting that dreaded rejection letter
stinks at first, but eventually you become able to just
shrug it off and go on to the next one.
9. You understand the power of atmosphere.
There is a reason some authors travel to a rustic cabin
or sandy beach to write their novels. Some
atmospheres are more conducive to creativity than
others. Maybe you like to pack up your laptop and go
to a coffee shop, downtown bench, or under a tree at
the park. Whatever the case may be, you know the
locations that boost your creative juices.
10. You think most people have poor taste.
You might find the movies and music most people
enjoy to be downright terrible. I don’t know about
you, but I believe SADNESS dies every time someone
listens to NICKELBACK
11. You are a people-watcher.
Why do people watch TV when real life is infinitely
more interesting?
12. You aren’t in it for the money.
Money pays bills but it doesn’t provide happiness.
There are much easier ways to make a living. This
isn’t about money, it’s about passion.
13. You experience emotional highs and lows.
Your emotional life is not a straight line. Instead, it is
more like the path of a roller-coaster full of dips,
drops, hills, loops, and twists. Sometimes you might
experience an eruption of happiness and a crash to
sadness within mere moments of each other. The most
painful parts usually find themselves in your art.
14. You seek inspiration.
Inspiration doesn’t happen on its own. Whether it is
the opening of an art gallery, a theatrical production,
or live music at a downtown bar, you search for
inspiration wherever you can find it. It’s nice to know
you’re not alone in your desire to create.
15. You have an interesting sense of humor.
Off-color jokes are the best kind of jokes.
16. You evolve like a boss.
An ability to adapt to challenging scenarios is
necessary for survival in the creative jungle.
17. You hate stereotypes.
You understand that human beings are way too
complicated to be dumped into gender roles or
stereotypes.
18. You don’t have a filter.
Don’t you think life would be much more fun if
everyone just said what they were thinking with no
filter? There is no such thing as TMI (Too Much
Information).
19. You take time to think.
Your brain is your greatest asset.
20. You don’t bend to pressure.
Whether it’s a hater who thinks your work of art
sucks, a family member who thinks “you should get a
real job,” or a friend who thinks your idea “will never
work,” you don’t cave to outside pressure.

Ha seriouly Me myself guilt of that till now.
Pls gurus in house, talk about it

Picture or it didn't happen

Nigerian truly don't have Entrepreneur but Professional hustler.

A old wine in a new bottle, spoil not only the bottle but corrupt everything.
Obaanjo had been the warlord for PDP since 1998, defecting to APC will be the worst thing that would ever happen to Nigeria.
Mark my words..

A bad soil is equally sowing into a
cause that will increase the flamboyance, empty
pride and sinful life-style of its recipient.
Don't be a bad soil it breeth bad fruit...

Did someone knew why I commented Here...NO...it called HOPE,
I sincerely would be looking forward somebody will come back and re -quote ME ...few years from now.
Apart I must say my personality to some extent had been developed by nairaland .....
IN. GOD. I. TRUST.

Mr Femi
Pls kinda elaborate
Am looking forward sir

[quote author=Jarus]I need your advice on something quite important. Three months ago, I was suspended from my job for a crime I am not guilty of (I suspect my boss does not want me and otehr accountants again; he suspended me and forced another accountant to resign). Since then, I have been carrying out a research on how to start and run a farm(palm tree, cassava, maize etc). I have even bought a hectare of land in a village close to my hometown in Kwara state for that purpose and secured more hectares on lease. All I am waiting for is teh season start (February/March).

I must tell you I am already feeling like a boss (lol), when, suddenly, I learnt after the investigations that my boss had been mandated to call me back and he has done that. The questions now are: should I go back? Am I strong enough to start my own now? Won’t I be better off being on my own? Wont he (my boss) organise a bigger trouble for me (since he was forced me back in the first place)? Now I am at crossroads. With the job, my N50,000 per month is guaranteed, but can’t have more. With my farm, N600,000 per year is not sure, but millions can be expected, depending on factors that cannot be accurately projected. Jarus, what do you think I should do?

http://www.jarushub.com/return-to-my-50kmonth-job-or-go-ahead-with-farming/[/quote


Firstly , you carried out a research. Second, you had the available resources(purchased land). Thirdly, you willing to secure another hectare on lease.
Who would you blame if in the next 2 year he sacked you again?
Would you blame your conscience for not taking the right decision?
When it is clearly written on the wall that you could start now.
And one more if you can't take calculated Risk pleae stay put in your job and die serving your boss rather to be your own BOSS.
Think please , do your feasibility study appropriately and I guarantee you 'the sky Is your limit'.
