CFCfan:
The increased interest rates will also discourage SMEs from expanding their businesses, which in turn, will prevent them from hiring people.

UjSizzle:
I don't think the same rates are applied to microfinance institutions, and even those are tailor made to suit the needs of their target public.

In the long run though shouldn't the aim of the government be to improve local manufacturing, and reduce dependence on importation? I'd say our SMEs are in a better position to increase sales and expand currently.

babyosisi:

Nihilist:
Yes after last night's Telemundo episode, I am back, fully refreshed and ready for today's offerings.

I really do believe this is a great idea, and seeing MissMeiya backing it gives me hope that the competition may eventually be steered towards a more intellectual conclusion.

First things first, I've noticed a lot of follow-follow to 'pledge' because big mama babyosisi is donating. You guys should better know your pocket size before you donate o.

Now that the proposed prize money is over 100k, the donators might find themselves resenting thier contributions to a fund that is more than thier monthly income, as a prize for a story that can't even be verified...

Next thing, when it's time for pledge to redeemed, they go AWOL

We've seen this in real life so many times

Please only give out of the freeness of your mind!!!! If you know that capa no reach, gently bow out. This is Christmas period and conditions are tight, so no shame in backing out now.

Don't do follow-follow and end up cooking Ice Kote for Christmas dinner.

Now Berem and Tomakint, where did we end matter last night?

mutter:



Sorry Bigbumper, I now work only in the Lords vineyard and focus more on voluntary work. Not because I can afford it but because it gives life more meaning- for me at least. It might change again someday but that is the status quo now.
I shall not be donating to this project because this group has failed to AIDA the message across to me and maybe some other people that might have been keen to donate. AIDA- attention, interest, desire and action.
Sadly I was only drawn to the negative aspects of this tread and that is the insults with wich everyone who dared to criticise was confronted with. When raising money for a charitable venture it is important to convince prospective donors- that is if you are keen on donors.

Jchi9876:
Hilarious! Chairman of wetin?? Until you come up with new "criteria " sharpaly commot my handle

Jchi9876:
Weda the kitty was asked for codedly or openly?

Gboliwe:
No Ma, I won't tag anybody. I don't want anybody's wahala.
Secondly, if I were unemployed and wanted to get into this, I would be so reluctant to upload my certificate online and on nairaland. I would personally not do it. This is Nigeria.

If someone is unemployed and visits nairaland in the last one year and has a minimum of 200posts, anybody should be able to figure out if he's a graduate or not.

Just giving my opinion

bigbumper:
@Davidylan, Pickabeau1, Jaybee, R231...using style to drop essays, I know where you work, I know your six/seven figure salaries, I know y'all are under 25 years old, I know where you live join So do the needful -donate and join the competition and submit your essays





Is someone looking for an excuse to carry their salubata/Dunlop slippers on their head and run


***goes back to chewing stick***

iconize:
How many anonymous peeps have you given
$100(now $450) as a "gift"?

berem:

spankyflex:
how about requesting for their admission letters?

moca:
U guys can extend d date and create more awareness abi?
Folks will donate more. D criteria may change and some guys will be called on to do investigative work for confirmation of authenticity of papers cos nigerians rnt smiling,u know.
Its good and motivational.

purplesummer:
So much for $100

Jchi9876:
Weda the kitty was asked for codedly or openly?

berem:
MissMeiya and CFCfan,can we begin a fresh thread for the competition in Education section while bigbumper continues with the fundraising?

tsmith:
I know a young man I introduced to nairaland, very brilliant with good results both GCSEs n initial jamb, but no means to further his education. He's driven and hustling to survive, I feel people like him would benefits and should qualify for this.

Valfrankie:
Babyosisi I need that money, Please even if it is $50, I need it please I can't write a lifestory essay or do any such thing online, but I DESPERATELY need the cash And YES I'm a graduate, though a fresh one ...
