TGM2015:
Can I ask you some questions?...

1. Have you people submitted your business plan?
2. Have they get back to you on how successful your business plan is? Note that business plan is a critical document on which decisions to fund your "learned entrepreneurial skills" will be based. In fact no financial institutions will grant you loan with a good business plan.
3. Also note that from what you posted and circled in the first picture, not all the 5,000 successful applicants will receive the fund but those who have developed greater entrepreneurial skills in their line of interest through the training and utilised it in preparing a visible and viable business plan. So are you in this category?

odum1:
But the people talking here already got an official statement when they attended the training or is it that you didnt read the posts?
And please who needs training without funds? Do you have any idea how many people already got training before they attended this?

If we knew it was only training, we would have at least known its only training.

Funding/grant ain't mentioned nau. Only GEJ/NOI got it right with YouWin!

The training was a terrible one
One of dismay
One of disappointment
One of dissatisfaction
One of utmost deception!
It is sad to say that our dear country is still grappling with corrupt practices even with funds meant to empower the youths.
YouWiN has turned out to be corporate fraud in the guise of youth empowerment. All the buzz of YouWiN and their empowerment of the youth to "plan, start and grow" their businesses ends up in a quagmire of weak and extremely diluted lectures. After receiving a wonderful online training that is both exhaustive and all-encompassing one would expect that the in-house training would be topnotch! Instead we had mediocre poorly playing out a script written by mediocre as well, or worse still, reading from incorrectly and poorly designed slide. The venue and organization left much to be desired. I will not talk about the food! But to imagine that a person like me would actually fall for this fraud... I mean, all the data, all the sleepless night... I didn't bother because my eyes were on the price. To worsen the situation they had the mind to invite us from our various locations to come for an overly hyped training when they know that they do not have any good and sustainable plans for us!
Why invite us? To come and receive training, another training? For God's sake we have been training and personally I am tired of repeated training. No value added in this training. Speak all the grammar in this world about Entrepreneurship if there is no financial backup then you are only being theoretical. Among all the resources required to start and grow your business money is the king ♔. So if you shy away from it then you shy away from realising your business ideas.
If giving grant is unsustainable as the rep of YouWiN mentioned today then why does Tony Elumelu Foundation still give grant? Why does Shell LiveWire still give grant? Is it that they don't know how to use fund?... The answer is very simple! its because they are private establishment they are not Nigerian government which is soaked, clothed and bathed in the sea of corruption. Corruption has not eaten deeply into the fabrics of our country but has also become the norm such that those who are supposed to salvage the situation become the architects and builders of the corruption empire. What a pity, what a shame!

Askin4somtin:
Thanks but this sounds complicated. I was hoping someone can just follow me there and maybe see the area and do some test.

iamclime:
Will be contacting you soon. Where exactly are you in Benin? Can you supply to Ehor side?

Beebeehem:
Apply NPK after 2-3weeks of planting, then urea after abt 7-8 weeks [color=#000099][/color]

justiz5:
How do I apply NPK and Urea Fertilizer and in what quantity per hectare on my rice farm?

I have interacted with some rice farmers who are of the opinion that NPK is applied after post emergence herbicide is applied on the rice farm, while Urea comes when the rice is between 45 to 55 days after planting. Others are of the opinion that the reverse should be the case. I am so confused at the moment. I am just going into rice farming for the first time and wouldn't want to follow the wrong approach.

Expert advice needed please.

Konquest:
^^^^^^
How many bunches can be got
from each macro propagated sucker?

You have a very vivid thread here with
the clear pictures. I am a very visual
person as I tend to understand things
faster with audiovisuals.

Thanks!

What IITA and CARBAB say about macropropagated suckers:

" Farmers usually depend on natural regeneration of plantain for the supply of planting materials. This is a very slow process that often produces small numbers of planting materials that are usually contaminated by various soil pathogens such as nematodes and shortens the lifetime of plantation to only one or two cycles of cultivation, beyond which lodging occurs. IITA has developed techniques for the rapid multiplication of healthy planting materials. " IITA Ibadan.

"The cultivation of plantain is underexploited due to the inadequate provision of good quality propagation materials. The negative influence of parasites also leads to the use of poor quality suckers, resulting in growth cycle of only two years. The return on effort put in by farmers is therefore unsatisfactory, leading to further discouragement among plantain growers.
Fortunately, a number of intensive production techniques have been developed, including in vitro cultivation, typically used in research centres and macropropagation using the plantlet from stem fragments." (African Centre for Banana and Plantain Research, Duala Cameron)

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the pleasure of low price have been forgotten- Thomas Ruskin
