You need to read this thread if you havent, I want to put your profile here and the great work you are doing in the tech sector

Typical Igbo loser.Nnamdi Azikiwe,the first graduate amongst the Igbos in 1930+ also deluded himself and his people that they had many educated people while the truth was he was the only and first Igbo graduate by which time Yorubas had produced doctors,lawyers,engineers etc while he was Igboland very 1st graduate .
Ojuku too deluded himself and the gullible Igbos that he had the best army in Africa even with his sticks wielding and patch patch deadbeat old world war weapons gifted them by France.
It is not a surprise to see another Ojuku saying that they have even half of the businesses owned by the hardworking Yorubas.Even the world knows you do not come close to the Yorubas in businesses home and abroad and this thread and the Igbo' empty,steal urhobo and other people's businesses' thread is an attestation of the ingenuity and versatile nature of the Yorubas.
Every index shows that you need a lot of catching up to do.

7 funds available for Nigerian entrepreneurs in 2017
by ODINAKA ANUDU & JOSEPHINE OKOJIE  January 28, 2017  1:25 am
Even though experts generally agree that finance is not the biggest problem facing Nigerian entrepreneurs, many of them still believe that it still ranks among the first five.
Understanding the critical importance of funding to Nigerian business owners and entrepreneurs, Start-Up Digest, in its characteristic manner, has dug up some of the easy-to-get funds available in the country this year.
Criteria
The general criterion for accessing these funds is the capacity to present a bankable and viable business plan. The entrepreneur should be clear on where he wants to be in the near future, and must also be able to describe the market for his or her products.
BoI Funds
If there is anywhere entrepreneurs can get cheap or single-digit funds (often at nine percent lending rate), it’s from the Bank of Industry (BoI).
This development finance institution (DFI) has been rated by many local and international agencies as one of the best managed banks in the world.
The BoI has a number of funds that entrepreneurs of all levels can access. First is the Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund (GEF), which is meant for serving members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Candidates are allowed to submit their business ideas, which are then reviewed by a team of experts. The NYSC members whose ideas are marketable and bankable are then selected, trained for four weeks and then given between N500,000 and N2 million.
There are also the Cottage Agro Processing (CAP) Fund for small and medium agro processors; Nolly Fund for players in the Nollywood industry, as well as Fashion Fund for designers and other players in the value chain.
In fact, the bank has other matching and managed funds, including a fund for the automotive industry. Through 122 business development experts, entrepreneurs can access funds easily. It is also easy to access some of the bank’s products through its website.
The bank has a N5 billion fund from Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote to finance SMEs at a single digit rate.
“We want to continue to create opportunities for Nigerian entrepreneurs and support the industrialisation efforts of the government,” said Waheed Olagunju, acting CEO and MD of BoI, at a forum in Lagos in 2016.
Tony Elumelu Fund
Tony Elumelu Foundation has $100 million for 10,000 African entrepreneurs. This will continue to be available for another seven to eight years. If you are in agriculture, fashion and design, light manufacturing, ICT, and solid minerals, among others, then apply for the on-going Tony Elumemu fund. You can be lucky to be one of 1,000 entrepreneurs to be shortlisted.
Through the Elumelu fund, Momarr Mass Taal, the CEO of Tropingo Foods in The Gambia, who got $5,000 seed capital in 2015, turned his enterprise into a $1.2 million revenue business.
GroFin Fund
GroFin, a development financier, has committed over $500 million to funding Nigerian micro, small and medium business (MSMEs) across the country.
The firm has five different types of fund: the Aspire Nigeria Fund, the Growth Africa Fund, the Small Growing Business Fund, the Aspire Small Business Fund and the Aspire Growth Fund.
The Aspire Nigeria Fund, the Growth Africa Fund and the Small Growing Business Fund cater for all parts of Nigeria except the Niger Delta.
The Aspire Small Business Fund provides a minimum of $100,000 and a maximum of $1.5 million to SMEs in Nigeria.
The Aspire Small Business Fund and the Aspire Growth Fund cater for the Niger Delta.
The Aspire Small Business Fund provides between $10,000 and $100,000 to small business owners in the oil-rich region, while the Aspire Growth Fund frees between $100,000 and $3 million to businesses to stimulate growth in the area. GroFin provides its funds mostly for a maximum of six years.
Shell LiveWire
The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited has a number of funds for young entrepreneurs, including women.
Through the programme , Shell provides support, access to training, guidance, and business mentorship to young entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 35.
The programme operates mainly in the Niger Delta region and aims to inspire, encourage and support young people to start up their own businesses through the provision of finance and training for young entrepreneurs, according to Shell.
Lagos State Employment Trust Fund
Lagos State has N25 billion to support SMEs. The fund is divided into two categories; micro and small businesses. Under the micro, businesses can access up to N500, 000 loans with an interest rate of five percent and a tenor of one year. For the small business category, businesses can get up to N5 million for a tenor of three years. The criteria for accessing the funds include: membership of a business organisation, which will recommend the business for the loan; Lagos State tax receipt for at least six months, and Lagos state residency card. This takes three weeks for processing.
“There are various funding available to owners of small businesses. In our business organisation we have access to the government Social Intervention Fund, Lagos State Employment Trust Fund and the Bank of Industry micro lending fund,” Femi Egbesola, national president, Association of Small Business Owners (ASBON), told Start-Up Digest.
Social Intervention Fund of FG
A total of N6 billion was allocated under the Social Intervention Fund of the 2017 budget. The criteria for accessing the fund include membership of a business organisation. The fund is for artisans and owners of micro businesses. The artisans of business owners can only access a maximum of N100, 000 at three percent interest rate on a year tenor.
Oxfam
Oxfam has a number of funds for Nigerian entrepreneurs.Oxfam, an
international confederation of charitable organisations focused on the alleviation of global poverty, recently disbursed €100 million to high-impact SMEs in Nigeria through Nextzon.

Ilekeh the most patriotic Yoruba girl on nairaland.
Bless you sis

Omoluabi9:
So, na you create this epoch-making thread?!

Wawu!

You, Wycatt/Wowcatty and Modath are the most patriotic Yoruba girls and real LUABI's on nairaland; unlike some saboteurs who suffer from Stockholm syndrome.


Well done guys!

Ilekeh:
Thanks dear

Omoluabi9:
It's true na!

Those "Sabo's" (at the bolded) don't understand what's at stake; forming "Voltron" for wetin no concern them.

Extending some foolish "hand-shake across the Niger" for some bogus "Southern Unity".

Southern unity in this grossly ethnical and chronically tribal climate

It won't work.

Happy Sunday milady

Another tiny agitator with tiny agitation and as long as it is tiny who cares. Create a new thread and list igbos inventions without creating alternate facts and truths. Inventors of internet I thought Emegwali invented internet, tell him to shut it down.

They are good at importing substandard products to the country. that was reason why they so much hate Buhari govt because of his zero tolerance towards unnecessary importation. They are opportunist.

QuietMynd:
Pls can u post the link that article.
I mean the picture

americanson:
you are drunk... If you guys want to destroy this thread and turn it into politics, then so be it.

Tell me one forking thing Nigeria manufacture without importing... But you deftly want to place the blame on igbos?

I can bet all the sanitary wares in your house, electronics were imported by an igbo man and if they have served you well, you are an idiot!

mercyville:

Yorubas and boasting, nothing wey una get.

Nothing at all.

BankeSmalls:
Stop saying we boast too much, it's our poverty stricken Yorubas from Ekiti and Ondo with low mentality that has been saying all these here. They boast too much. We the Lagos Yorubas don't like making too much noise as we own all the skyscraper in Lagos which an average ekiti man will faint if he sees it.

Thanks

This post sound stupid to me sha.

This thread was created after igbos created theirs, and they were boasting about having almost of the companies and industries in Lagos and Nigeria. Some well informed Yorubas tried to set the record straight by creating this beautiful thread to educate other yorubas as well as the igbos who can't differentiate their left from right.
