Shampoo77:

2017YouWiNners:
Participants of 2017 YouWiN connect, a youth empowerment scheme organized by the federal government through the Federal Ministry of Finance are currently holding a protest at the federal ministry of finance in Abuja to voice out their grievances with the federal ministry of finance for promising to fund their businesses during the application process in June 2017 which saw over 200,000 hard working Nigerian Youth but 5,000 emerged winners after series of online exams and screening.

To our greatest surprise, the federal ministry of finance turned around to claim that they never promised to fund our businesses. They only issued us certificates. For crying out loud, most of us are graduates who needed funds to grow and expand our businesses to create employment. YouWiN connect certificates alone cannot do that!


Please show solidarity by moving this thread to front page so that Nigerians will know the truth about 2017 YouWiN connect. Nigerian youths are not lazy!
We are entrepreneurs!!

#fund5000YouWiNconnectWinners to provide jobs and grow our economy.

So even the YouWin scheme they have been going about, brandishing as an achievement of this administration is also a scam? Everything about this govt is a scam! There is no truth in them; from buhari to the least of them.
Lalasticlala, I think this deserves the front page to bring to the knowledge of the world what these youths are going through.
I can bet you that some big wigs and members of buhari's cabal have decided to divert the funds meant for this project and decide instead to create a brazen lie that money was never promised. The nation will be shocked when they realize the level of corruption taking place under buhari's govt

Shampoo77:
Foolish group of youths. I told most if them on WhatsApp and Facebook pages during and after the training that this administration will not give them a dime but they were carried away by their stupidity and attacked me.
I told them that they will not give grant because it is youwinconnect "equity" funding and not youwinconnect "series funding" this government modified almost everything about youwin but they were too lazy to read. Now that they have come to know they are now doing useless and meaningless protest and demonstration.
Who told them Buhari will hear them? Buhari has ear problem so they should stop wasting their precious time.

PrecisionFx:



You are a thief. What did u go to youwin training for wen u know there's nothing to win. ezi, anu mpama.


Stop trying to imply that thousands of Nigerian graduates went for a training sat there for 3 days or more without knowing that they will receive only certificates wen they win

May Ogwugwu punish u.

Bizibi:
I think that is what they will get except the government will play politics by giving grants but let us be honest didn't the graduates ask questions about the program or do just a little investigation to know what the outcome will be in the end......

PrecisionFx:



Have u ever participated in Youwin?

I don't know why APC is full of liars, both the politicians in APC and their supporters are a bunch of bloody liars

maasoap:


I didn't know if Youwin Connect were promised money or not, but all your links above are about Jonathan's Youwin scheme, third batch that Buhari's administration agreed to settle after their protest.
This one is about Youwin Connect 2017, they are not the same thing.

ayusco85:


Enemies of progress. We will get funding, go and die

michaelo2:
The only way Nigeria moves forward is to focus on one thing at a time, if not, there will be too much promises and less of it fulfilled.

frog12:
Why should buhari pay for jonathan's wasteful experiment okonjo spent 60 millioin dollars on this project, and buhari has spent less on N-power, benefitting almost a million nigerians. they should transfer them to n-power immediately

eodavids:


Sorry Dear, but you didn't make any sense.
With due respect.

These youths were taken for a rough ride. Months of online training involving expenditures such as of data purchase, online activities and trips. Transportation and research.

After all the rigour, 5000 were selected and declared WINNERS.

We all know what was promised to the youths before they embanked on the competition, the amounts promised.

How comes the WINNERS only got certificates.
Were they promised to compete and win certificates?

WELL, GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL 2017 YOUWINNERS.
ME I HAD WOKEN UP EARLIER THAN NOW

michaelo2:


Sir, to make my point clear, I meant the fg shouldn't have promised or even put up the program since they can't come through, they should have promised what they can do.

eodavids:


You are correct.
But its just because of their incompetence. How can a country truly move forward without empowering her youths?
Ours is to promise and retract their words in a bid to frustrate the youths.

As leaders, their bad policies led to millions loosing their paid jobs. Is it too much to empower 5000 you winners whom your ministry of finance has declared "Winners"?

They are proud the youths have been issued certificates.
