I had to read this email sent to my box severally to be sure of what I am reading. Just got the email some minutes ago.

Has it gotten to this extent that Nigeria has to be Segregated? This means that we from the South have no hope of the empowerment.

Wonderful!!

Haba nao that someone has come emaciated we northerner from poverty

Jarus:
That's the region called Sahel

The only intelligent comment I have seen on this thread so far..By the term Sahel, this opportunity can be restricted to Core Northern States like: Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa, Yobe, Katsina. Kano and Borno States with the other countries that falls within this clime.

Only a bloody fool chases a rat while his/her house is on fire. Must people from southern Nigeria have slave mentality. I guess most of these so-called money bag nitwits from southern Nigeria owe their source of wealth to northerners in the Nigeria's corridor of power.

If you look at the countries chosen (including northern Nigeria), you'll notice its the people from those regions that are constituting a nuisance in Nigeria as bandits/violent herdsmen.

Its all political and tony(the south south sell out) who happens to be a thief, is the camouflage they are using.

Rob peter to pay Paul.

RTSC:
I think the funds is coming from the united Nations unlike the general category that is funded by Tony.

The UN is only making use of the TEF established network.

And virtually all international NGOs, d UN, DfiD, USAID Japan Aid, e.t.c all work in d northern part of Nigeria. That's a mystery I am yet to understand

This is a UNDP program...

UNDP is merely partnering with the Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), as some other organizations and governments (national and sub national) have, working with the TEF through the very successful entrepreneurship and mentoring program already established under the TEF Entrepreneurship Program. However, it is an entirely UNDP initiative and entirely (100%) UNDP funds. Accordingly, in addition to other Partners of the TEF Program (see below), the Program will have as much as 3050 (instead of the usual 1000 TEF) participants this cycle.

Other Partners of the TEF and the TEF Entrepreneurship Program include the Anambra State government, Botswana and Benin Republic (in addition to African Development Bank). These Partners use their own funds (just like the UNDP is doing) to sponsor the participation of their own candidates, nationals/citizens in the TEF Entrepreneurship Program. It’s a WIN-WIN, because these Partners do not have to create their own individual entrepreneurship training and mentoring program and associated infrastructure, and the TEF Program has more beneficiaries.

uzoexcel:
so where was 'northern nigeria' mentioned?

Check where they listed the countries to participate in the program and see that Northern is bracket beside Nigeria.

I felt not too happy too when I got the mail, but no be my money

It is meant for underserved communities. It's gonna be both online and online arrangement.

Meanwhile, if you need assistant with your application, DM or hi on wsap. 0903 977 8060.

For those that are mentioning the sahel region, why is that of Cameroon not restricted to northern Cameron as it was done for Nigeria? Because Southern Cameroon lies on almost the same belt as Southern Nigeria, same with North.

Does it mean that there are no poor Nigerians down south that will benefit from this entrepreneurial empowerment. Ever since this current president asked most of these international NGOs to focus on the north, these are the sort of things we are having, yet it has not yielded the desired result.

But when it comes to RUGA or its brand new name, the Livestock Transformation Nonsense, it must be spread across the 36 states of the federation and a 30 day threat attached to it.

The earlier we start talking and taking actions to halt the nepotism, bigotry and open tribalism of this current government, the better for this country.

We have never had it this bad.

NGOs work in places with poor indices. Malnutrition, illiteracy, VVF, are more in the north, so NGOs focus their attention there.

So there's no poverty, literacy & malnutrition in d south? Is it all d NGOs that are doing VVF

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Tony Elumelu is a detribalised Nigerian, we are proud of you. When you southerners were busy living off our groundnuts, did we complain?
You guys enjoy our cow meat and fura da nono, yet you rejected ruga. Thunder will fire anyone that criticises Elumelu for this noble gesture.

THUNDER FIRE YOU AND THAT YOUR RUGA!
AMADIOHA KEE YOU THERE!!
OGUN RUGA YOUR LIFE THERE!!!
Maluu.

Check the parentheses after Nigeria.

God bless Malam Tony Elumelu more Billions to your accounts, though the said empowerment is 100% sponsored by UNDP.

There's no need for this. After Nigeria was named, "northern" was indicated in parenthesis. You should read more than you insult.

We must feed our cows on your lush fields. It's just a matter of time. After all, you do business in our land too.

Ostrogoth:


We've never enjoyed free meat or groundnut in the south! As for that fulani cum you call fura de nunu, no sane southerner would be caught drinking it: not since we heard that you northerners cum into it. We only usually enjoy the girls that sell them( you dont need to understand their language, just offer them extra N200). Fulanis have been living peacefully in the south without conflict since before amalgamation and this newly a discovered anti-fulani fervour only started when they got guns and started raping, killing, pillaging and kidnapping. We've never had problems before now! And FYI, we dont need elumelu's money, we are not as poor here as you guys and your beggarly brethren down south! What we need is the 'deamalgamation' of Nigeria: the undoing of Lugard's work, thank you!

take one bottle of origin my brother. I will pay

MrAAA:


Just because you read Sahel African countries, you concluded its just Sahel Nigeria states?
Cmon, I got same mail it doesn't mean its northern Nigeria states but the whole of Nigeria States.
A little more of geography knowledge should help you.

I don't think you are more of a geographer than me because that's my field. You should also read the email severally to be on my side.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

u are obviously missing the point here.
U guys have been grazing Ur cattle in the south for ages. No one has complained. But now Ur grazing is not only threatening the food supply and means of livelihood of the southerners, it is threatening their very lives. U now graze Ur catty, destroy farms, kidnap, rape, and kill all at once. Do u really expect to be welcomed with open arms?
And who will buy Ur cattle when u wipe out the south?
Borrow some sense my dear friend

Even the nigeria flag in your picture reeks of "only for the north " . Did you not see the flag?

lexy2014:


So there's no poverty, literacy & malnutrition in d south? Is it all d NGOs that are doing VVF

Most southern states have less than 2 percent of severe malnutrition, in the north, it's above 10 percent.
NGOs are apolitical, and they focus on regions in countries with worst indices.

Not all NGOs are into VVF, not all are into malnutrition. They all have what they focus on.

Even Bill Gate's foundation also focus on the north, DFID which is british, Clinton foundation, Unicef, WHO, all have more operation in the north because that is where intervention is needed.

Less than 2%? How did u come about ur 2%? NGOs don't need 2b political b4 they focus on just d north. All d major NGOs from oxfam to UNICEF don't just have more operations in d north, they are stationed in d north with little or no presence in d south. Oil degradation has destroyed d environment in d ND & left many without a means of livelihood. Do u c UNEP there? No way

1. The donor agencies were specifically given brief to focus on the destruction in the north

2. Tony is just a smart guy deceiving Nigerians with this foundation. What's his commitment of the $100m (over 10 years) yet...ever wondered how much exactly of his funds he has put into it?
He is just using the entreprenuers to market his idea while collecting funds from UN & co.

Look, you are beginning to piśs me off! We are not rapists! A single bad apple does not spoil the bunch! Your kith and kin are fraudsters and prostitutes, that doesn't make you guilty of same!

The north would forever be used as guinea pigs for western biological experiments if they keep playing the poverty and ignorant card.

so the south is insignificant?..

When a favourable market condition lies in a region where ignorance is imbibed in the people's being and they cannot think economically, you utilize it for monetary gains.
