How I won in the YouWIN Business
Plan Competition – Interview with
Utibe Etim
The YouWIN Nigeria program
was transparent. Because for
someone like me to be among the
winners, then I would say it’s really
transparent. Because I don’t know
anyone who would have helped me.
The FG of Nigeria introduced the Youth
Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria –
YouWIN programme in 2011
www.youwin.org.ng; a collaboration of
the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of
Communication Technology (CT) and the
Ministry of Youth Development. The
programme launched an annual Business
Plan Competition for aspiring young
entrepreneurs in Nigeria in line with the
federal government’s drive to create
more jobs for Nigerians.
The first round of the YouWIN Business
Plan Competition has come and gone
with 1200 successful young
entrepreneurs as winners. In the first
round, over 125,000 young Nigerians
participated. 25,000 successfully
submitted their business plans. 6,000
business plans were selected and the
6,000 entrepreneurs were trained in the
six geopolitical zones. Afterwards 1200
winners emerged for the federal
government grant.
Over the week end, I meet with one of
the winners of the first (2011) YouWIN
Business Plan Competition, Utibe Etim,
and he gladly shared his experience
through the process, exclusively for
www.afterschoolafrica.com readers. If
you are planning to apply for the coming
competition, be sure to read through to
the end, because you will find a lot of
information that will surely increase your
chances of winning up to 10million naira
business grant. Please use the comment
form below to ask your questions
concerning the YouWIN Business Plan
Competition.
The transcribed and edited version of the
Audio interview:
Ikenna: Hello, this is Ikenna Odinaka
from AfterschoolAfrica.com. Here with
me is Utibe Etim one of the winners of
the first YOUWIN Business Plan
Competition 2011. So Utibe let’s get to
meet you. Let’s know you and what you
do.
Utibe: My name is Utibe Etim. Am from
Akwa Ibom state. I’m a web designer
and web developer. I’m the CEO of
Etimate global services; an IT company.
What I do is to design and develop
websites, graphic design and web
applications.
Ikenna: So you emerged as one of the
winners of the YOUWIN business
competition?
Utibe: Yes
Ikenna: That’s really something. So what
was the experience like?
Utibe: It wasn’t easy. Initially when I
saw the advert I didn’t believe it was
real. I just said to myself “it’s the
Nigerian thing. It’s not going to
work .One of the ministers will just go to
his constituency pick his family members
and list them as winners”. So I didn’t
believe it. At a point I began to write
about the program on my personal site,
UtibeEtim.com. Even after writing about
it, I was not convinced. It was when I
met one of my friend, who is also into
web design and web development, he
asked me whether I have seen the
empowerment project by the federal
government; YOUWIN. I said yes, that
I’m writing something on it. So he asked
if I was going to apply. I said that I’ve
downloaded all the questions and I’m
not really keen about it. So he said why
not, let’s go and apply. That I shouldn’t
ask for something too much. That if I ask
for something big they will say, “this one
is here to collect the money and run
away”. “Something like 500,000 naira
was good enough” he said. By then, I
didn’t know that the least amount you
can ask for is one million (I,000,000)
naira..
Ikenna: The least amount, one million
naira?
Utibe: Yes. You can get between one
million to ten million naira business
grant.
So I was not keen about it. But later I
said I will go for it. Then we discussed
and I told him that if you want to apply
you don’t just go and send information.
You know, this project, World Bank will
not want to partner with a project that is
bound to fail. This is a World Bank
partnership project. And this is a project
that some, may be, private banks too are
partners. So it’s going to be a project
they will be serious about. So I said since
we are into web design and web
development, you need to show them
that there is a market for this niche. So
what I would do is go online, know the
number of Nigerians online and facebook
and show them.
When I went on to apply it was a day or
two to the closing date. That was when I
said let me use this opportunity. So I
devoted a day. It took me at least eight
hours to submit my application. That was
when I researched to know that Nigeria
is number one internet user in Africa.
And then number 10 worldwide… I also
gave them statistics. I didn’t want to just
shun out figures. I also mentioned
Globacom submarine cable they just
launched… And emphasized that in
future the internet usage in Nigeria will
be so high. So it means the future is
very bright for my business.
It was then I gathered those information
and it took me almost a whole day to
submit.
Ikenna: Just in one day you where able
to get the whole thing together? So with
that you wouldn’t say it was a tedious
application then, since you were able to
do the whole thing in…
Utibe: It was tedious. For me, I applied
as existing business. So I already know
what I wanted and what to include in my
business plan. So if I had applied as web
design or Software Company, I know this
is what I need. So I only had to add
some real information about my
business.
Ikenna: So that was what contributed in
making it a bit easier for you unlike
someone who is starting from scratch it
would be a lot more tedious for them to
work it out.
Utibe: Yes. Exactly
Ikenna: Ok. So, what would you say, on
a personal note, what really made you
successful. You know the internet cliche,
secret of this… secret of how to… And all
that secret things. What would you
consider the ‘secret’ behind your success
in the YOUWIN business plan
competition?
Utibe: The secret, I would say is the
zeal. And the mind set. The zeal for me
to succeed and then that mindset that
yes I can make it, that really helped me.
Another thing that made me successful I
would say is the internet. Because the
internet, there is no information you
want you cannot see on the internet. So
since I understand what should be on my
business plan I will just go and do
research on it, get those information, put
them in my business plan and submit. So
the internet really helped me and then
the zeal and determination for me to
make it also contributed.
Ikenna: So you’ve already talked about
the business plan which you wrote in a
day; 8hours or so. Did you have a prior
experience in writing a business plan or..
to someone who is to participate in the
coming YOUWIN competition, what
advice would you give them in terms of
writing their business plan?
Utibe: Writing business plan is not like
writing a letter. Sometimes you might be
very good in writing good English and you
can speak fluently. When it comes to
writing a business plan, it’s a different
ball game. You don’t just write irrelevant
stories. You need to put the relevant
things first; the facts and statistics. If you
put something that is boring, write
stories, the judges will not have that
time to read through long stories. This is
a competition. You don’t have to write
500,000 words just to get the point.
When you are writing your business plan
you need to give them the fact. For
instance, may be you are going into
agriculture; the government has a good
plan like giving loan. Like if you are into
poultry they will give you some
incentives. Show them those incentives,
and say this is what I stand to gain if I go
into farming. So give them facts. Proof to
them that the environment is
conducive…
Ikenna: So, In other words, just go
straight to the point.
Utibe: Yes. Try to lay emphasis on
important information and to the point.
Ikenna: Do you think the completion
was transparent? The selection process.
Because you know, a lot of people will be
having that doubt with things like this
that has to do with Nigeria. Can it be
transparent enough that a common
person can emerge a winner?
Utibe: I will use myself as example.
When I saw the advert, I said this is the
same government thing. You know if you
are in Nigeria, if you don’t know
somebody, you can’t get to any good
position. So that was what made me not
to apply initially. But when I applied and
saw the process we were subjected to,
and the screening process, it was then I
believed that it’s real. There is nothing
like, the Nigerian word, ‘Mago-mago’.
Nothing like that. Like I said before, it’s a
World Bank partnership project. Many
reputable organizations partner with the
federal government. And this is a
President Jonathan project. So they
wouldn’t want to go into a project that
will bring bad name. He’ll want to say
while I was in power this is what I did
for the common Nigerians. And
tomorrow they can look back and see
those people they have empowered.
So the process was; submit your
business plan. They review it. Six
thousand people were shortlisted. And
the reason for that 6000 was to train
them. So even if they are unable to
make it to the final 1200. Because it’s
1200 that was selected. So if you are
unable to make it, you have the skill.
Because they train us on how to manage
your business and discover products and
research your businsess, target audience
and market. So many skills that with that
you can even look for fund elsewhere
and start your business without federal
government grant. They want to make us
understand that even though the
business environment is rough, there are
so many businesses that are successful.
So you can also build your business with
these skills. The program was good.
They said the whole thing was to end in
December but they postponed it till
January, then to May. The reason for the
delay was that after marking in Nigeria,
they didn’t want to realize those names
immediately. They had to send the
names to UK. So they sent messages to
us that they’ve sent those names to UK;
for them to verify that the process was
transparent. That was one of the things
that delayed the list of the winners from
being released.
The program was transparent. Because
for someone like me to be among the
winners, then I would say it’s really
transparent. Because I don’t know
anyone who would have helped me.
Ikenna: So what nature of businesses
would you sa; considering the people
that were selected.. was there a pattern
of the nature of businesses that were
selected or do you think it’s just the
general business. Does it have to revolve
around say ICT, Agriculture or any
particular set of fields that are more
favored than every other business?
Utibe: It depends on the number of
applications from a particular sector and
their knowledge of their business and
the business environment. But I would
say they favored agriculture more
because over 20% of the awardees
where for Agriculture and they are the
largest, followed by ICT and then
Manufacturing. So they laid much
emphasis on Agriculture. You see, the
largest amount you can win from the
program is ten million naira. So most in
agriculture where getting 10 million
naira. The fund, they divide it into four
tranches. So first tranche, second tranche
to fourth tranche. So if you receive the
first tranche you must meet some certain
conditions before you get the second
tranche. So that some people will not
just collect the money and disappear. So
people in other sectors, if you get
5million naira, they will give you 10% of
the money as first tranche. For instance
if it is 5million they will give you 500,000
as initial payment for you to go and start
up. But those in agriculture, most of
them where getting 10million grant.
Ikenna: Wow!
Utibe: Yeah. With that they were giving
them 4million as the first tranche which
is far more than the 10% other sectors
are getting as initial payment. Because
they know that this is one sector that
will require much capital to start up.
Some of them will need like land,
tractors and so on. So they were getting
4 to 5 million naira initial payment while
those in other sectors where getting
10% of their total money.
Ikenna: So in essence, agriculture is a
primary target?
Utibe: Yeah. They laid more emphasis in
agriculture. They know agriculture
creates more jobs. Government focuses
more on agriculture, and believes that
with agriculture they can create
employment for a lot of people.
Ikenna: That’s really good to know.. On
a personal note, having started with
something, how would you say this has
helped your business so far?
Utibe: You know, like I said before.
There is so much delay in disbursement
of the funds. Even though I applied as
existing business, so I got so many things
in place before applying. Like my
business was registered with Corporate
Affair Commission (CAC), I have my
corporate account. I also applied for tax
id. So I had almost everything. But
others that are startups, trying to get
those business requirements take much
time. Right now they only release first
tranche which is not enough for me to
rent an office, which is the major thing
for me to do right now. There are others
who have not gotten their first payment.
Like 50% have. So the first tranche I
collected, I used it to put a few things in
place. Because they will come to monitor
my progress to see how I mange the
fund. And to see if they need to release
the second tranche. So it’s only when I
get the second tranche I can really apply
it to my business. Then I would say it
has really helped me.
Ikenna: Since you where actually one of
the first set of people that came out as
winners from the YOUWIN competition,
and hopefully, this year, 2012 there
would be a second phase. As the
pioneers, you where able to get to
understand how it works and can easily
tell what could have been done to make
things better. What would you say would
have been done better? What do you
think the federal government should
have or should introduce to the coming
competition to make things easier for
the applicants and the judges too?
Utibe: What I discovered is that they
don’t keep to time frame. If they say we
are going to release names January, they
keep postponing it. Most times up to
three months. May be this is the first
time, so there are likely to be problems.
So the subsequent ones is going to be
easier. The major thing is that most of
the applicants have made preparations
like pay for rent, or commit to payment
agreement. They get disappointed when
funds are not released within the
specified period. So that discourages
people, and weakens their morale. So
what I would advise is that government
keep to time frame.
Another thing is that the way they
disburse the fund in tranches, they
should understand that the first tranche
should be an amount people can use to
do major things. Not the kind the
beneficiary will drop somewhere and be
waiting for the second tranche to be
released.
Ikenna: So on a final note, what advice
will you give to Nigerian youths that are
aspiring to apply for the next batch of
the YOUWIN Business Plan Competition
2012?
Utibe: My advice is that. If you want to
apply you should not say because you
have your family or someone you know
that applied and wasn’t successful in the
first competition, and get discouraged.
Or that you can write good English. You
get to see a lot of professionals that will
assess your business plan; from banks
and participating partners. So when you
are applying, sit down and make sure
you gather as much information. Make
sure you give them facts. Don’t write
stories. Go to the point. Prove that you
have good understanding of your
business and the business environment,
market, target audience and so on.
Also make sure you talk about budget.
Because what really helped me was that
I looked at the budget released for the
past year by the federal government and
how much that was budgeted for ICT and
government incentive for ICT. So I listed
them. I also listed the number of
Nigerian on facebook and internet usage.
We have SAT 3, Glo Submarine cable and
so on. So with these, I proved that the
internet penetration in the near future
will be high. So there will be a sustained
market for my business…
So, If your business is about fashion,
show them a market trend; how
Nigerians are spending on fashion. Or
things that are being imported; if you
can produce them here in Nigeria, there
will be no need to import. So just show
them that you have clear understanding
of you business. You don’t just write long
words. It wouldn’t do you much good.
It’s better to write few words and give
facts and points. Then you’ll be there…
Ikenna: This has been a really interesting
time out and discussion with you Utibe. I
really appreciate your time; sharing your
experience with us. I hope young
Nigerians out there will really learn from
your experience. And be able to benefit
from this opportunity… According to the
federal government, they said this is
going to be holding every year…
Utibe: Yes. At least for the next four
years. They want to empower few
Nigerians that would go on to empower
as many Nigerians as possible by giving
them employment opportunities. Though
it’s not possible to have 100% success
rate. But if we have 70%, it’s a very good
result; even 50%. So with that rate they
will go on to give employment
opportunities to other Nigerians. So if
you have one person employ like 3
persons in a year, you can multiply that
by the number of beneficiaries. Which
will also reduce the rate of crime.
Because they say an idol man…
Ikenna: …Is a devils workshop. Sure.
Thank you very much Utibe. So if you
want to know more about Uti, visit his
website at…. Let us know to reach you.
Utibe: You can check me out on
personal website www.utibeetim.com .
So you get to know about YOUWIN if you
want to apply. Then I will use that
medium to share a lot more information.
Ikenna: That will be it Thank you.
Utibe: You are highly welcom

u make us proud

(1). If you believe that you must always
have the last say in an argument,you are
not ready for marriage.
(2). If you don't like anyone invading your
space,you are not ready.
(3). If you're a lady,and you don't cook or
don't like to,your marriage is not likely to
be easy or funny.
(4). If you always say things exactly how
they come to your mind not caring who is
hurt,your marriage is likely to crash.
(5). If you believe you are who you are
and no one can change that,you're not
ready.
(6). If you think about others when you've
fully sorted yourself out,you're not ready.
(7). If you are so good about holding a
grudge and you will only let go when you
feel like,stay unmarried.
(.8.). If you're a man and you are not
engaged in ventures or a process in time
that can financially take care of your
immediate family and
beyond,you need to give yourself a few
more years to be ready.
(9). If as a man,you're easily swayed and
pressurized to do things against your
wish,you are not ready for marriage.
(10). If you believe that women at best
should be good in bed and kitchen affairs
only,you will end up having a bitter and
subdued wife;stay away.
(11). If your mind can't conceive the
thought of having a more successful
wife,even if it is temporary,then you have
little growing up to do.
(12). If you have no confidence in your
capability and your future,you have no
business taking someone else with you.
(13). If as a man,you don't have a mentor
or leader you follow,listen or defer
to,you're not going to be able to lead your
family.
(14). If you can't have wedding ceremony
within a budget you can personally
afford,give yourself more time. Who says
you can't have 20 guests or less at your
wedding? Cut your coat according to your
cloth and take responsibility. As a man,
you can define how small or large you want
your wedding ceremony to be and be able
to handle it.
(15). If you have anger problem such that
you can destroy things when you are angry,
get a therapist to help you in managing it.
Otherwise engage God's help for the
change you seek. With anger issues,you're
a disaster waiting to explode.
Marriage is an investment, w

1."This one's special"
When you're in love, you begin to think
your beloved is unique. The belief is
coupled with an inability to feel
romantic passion for anyone else. Fisher
and her colleagues believe this single-
mindedness results from elevated levels
of central dopamine — a chemical
involved in attention and focus — in
your brain.
2. "She's perfect"
People who are truly in love tend to
focus on the positive qualities of their
beloved, while overlooking his or her
negative traits. They also focus on trivial
events and objects that remind them of
their loved one, day-dreaming about
these precious little moments and
mementos. This focused attention is
also thought to result from elevated
levels of central dopamine, as well as a
spike in central norepinephrine, a
chemical associated with increased
memory in the presence of new stimuli.
[5 Surprising Animal Love Stories ]
3. "I'm a wreck!"
As is well known, falling in love often
leads to emotional and physiological
instability. You bounce between
exhilaration, euphoria, increased energy,
sleeplessness, loss of appetite,
trembling, a racing heart and
accelerated breathing, as well as
anxiety, panic and feelings of despair
when your relationship suffers even the
smallest setback. These mood swings
parallel the behavior of drug addicts.
And indeed, when in-love people are
shown pictures of their loved ones, it
fires up the same regions of the brain
that activate when a drug addict takes a
hit. Being in love, researchers say, is a
form of addiction.
4. "Overcoming the challenge made
us closer"
Going through some sort of adversity
with another person tends to intensify
romantic attraction. Central dopamine
may be responsible for this reaction,
too, because research shows that when
a reward is delayed, dopamine-
producing neurons in the mid-brain
region become more productive.
5. "I'm obsessed with him"
People who are in love report that they
spend, on average, more than 85
percent of their waking hours musing
over their "love object." Intrusive
thinking, as this form of obsessive
behavior is called, may result from
decreased levels of central serotonin in
the brain, a condition that has been
associated with obsessive behavior
previously. (Obsessive-compulsive
disorder is treated with serotonin-
reuptake inhibitors.)
6. "I wish we could be together all
the time"
People in love regularly exhibit signs of
emotional dependency on their
relationship, including possessiveness,
jealousy, fear of rejection, and
separation anxiety.
7. "I hope we stay together forever"
They also long for emotional union with
their beloved, seeking out ways to get
closer and day-dreaming about their
future together.
8. "I'd do anything for her"
People who are in love generally feel a
powerful sense of empathy toward their
beloved, feeling the other person's pain
as their own and being willing to sacri?
ce anything for the other person.
9. "Would he like this outfit?"
Falling in love is marked by a tendency
to reorder your daily priorities and/or
change your clothing, mannerisms,
habits or values in order for them to
better align with those of your beloved.
10. "Can we be exclusive?"
Those who are deeply in love typically
experience sexual desire for their
beloved, but there are strong emotional
strings attached: The longing for sex is
coupled with possessiveness, a desire
for sexual exclusivity, and extreme
jealousy when the partner is suspected
of infidelity. This possessiveness is
thought to have evolved so that an in-
love person will compel his or her
partner to spurn other suitors, thereby
insuring that the couple's courtship is
not interrupted until conception has
occurred. [ 5 Strange Courting Rituals
from Around the World]
11. "It's not about sex"
While the desire for sexual union is
important to people in love, the craving
for emotional union takes precedence.
A study found that 64 percent of people
in love (the same percentage for both
sexes) disagreed with the statement,
“Sex is the most important part of my
relationship with [my partner]."
12. "I feel out of control"
Fisher and her colleagues found that
individuals who report being "in love"
commonly say their passion is
involuntary and uncontrollable.
13. "The spark is gone"
Unfortunately, being in love usually
doesn't last forever. It's an
impermanent state that either evolves
into a long-term, codependent
relationship that psychologists call
"attachment," or it dissipates, and the
relationship dissolves. If there are
physical or social barriers inhibiting
partners from seeing one another
regularly — for example, if the
relationship is long-distance — then the
"in love" phase generally lasts longer
than it would otherwise.

if I set my eyes on Nigeria police men/women the first thing that come to my mind is ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE so I use to run for my life.
share ur view.

MAYOWAAK: If i was the one that said self-service is not wrong, i know by now my family would have been calling me to warn me and my holy friends would have all deleted or avoid me as they do, but if It's pastor Chris then it's the wisdom from the man of God so no big deal.

If i was the one that say "GOD IS A GAME" My very righteous friends would have long ago blocked me and carry their long faces and accuse me of blasphemy but if it's Pastor Fireman, it's ok!! dare not question the man of God.

If i was the one that publicly slapped a teen by accusing her to be a witch for anything and threaten to slap more, most of my religious and friends would have made the teen's picture their profile pictures demanding for justices but if it's Bishop David, it's the hand of God(maradonna), it's the Holy Ghost slap.

If i demand for 50 million to provide free safe drinkable water in some rural communities, i know most of my Nigerians friends will raise alarm on “fraudsters going on nairaland demanding for money in the name of community service but if our dadddy g.o adeboye asks for 35 billion to build an auditorium that will be used on rare special occasions, it's the holy inspiration and God's project and no one dare questions.

If i keep posting about helping the masses, sharing part of their pain but then i happen to support an anti-masses decision, i know by now i will be the clown of the century, but when Daddy Ayo supported fuel subsidy removal which is anti masses, everyone kept quiet and even the masses, offcourse do you want to attract generational curses by questioning the man of God?...gbosa!!

If i'm claiming to be a humble servant of God but flaunt with my designers glasses, escorts, Louis Vuitton bible, expensive dresses, 3 golden chains on my neck, and private jet to escape traffic jam and enhance comfort, I know most of you would have staged a protest, but the moment i edit my name and add Pastor that solves the trick i become untouchable, unquestionable and unspeakable.

guy u make alot of sense hope u are not a pagan or ......?
