what's wrong with that?

The simple english statement made never mentioned it was wrong.

Interesting..so Prof Soyinka now talks with the president?

A Fine Gentleman CP who has been having a great relationship with Amaechi would not come out with such statement if not factual. Of recent, Gov Amaechi has been attacking the State Police command and obviously the CP himself now has to come out

Where are you located? Can inspect tomorrow and pay

Since source is Garba Shehu. I do-nt believe it! He was the one that sent that GMB interview at transcorp to Guardian newspapers stating that it was an interview in London..also raised false alarm that soldiers were patrolling his house in Garki Abuja and we saw none!

If I understand Perfectly, it means he prophesied PDP will win despite all the momentum that APC is having; that APC leaders will sell-out

Keep it up Dominion!

I'm sure a foreign firm/client asked you. That's what they call theirs. Just present your certificate of incorporation

YOUWIN was never stated as the pole program for reducing employment. It is just one of the ballparks to stimulate economic activity which will also create jobs and bring more people from informal sector into the tax net. sure p program Is more defined for reducing employment using massive civil works projects.
on loans for spuring large scale employment generation, I'm sure you aware of schemes under BOI and BOA and the newly launched and we'll acclaimed Cbn Sme loan funds, recently lunched manufacturing facilities for smes, Sme Venture Capital funds etc etc

onegig:
A federal Government has no business giving grants to individuals as a form of employment benefit because it can never go round and be enough.

Ask yourself how many Youwin winners are out there? Probably 3000 to 10,000 or so. Let's even say on the high side, they are able to employ 9 people each. That's 27,000 to 90,000 new employment opportunities in 4 years by the FG.

We need to also look at the quality of the job offers created by YOUWIN businesses. We need to understand that no single person will start a SME biz and start offering their employees 120k as entry salaries except you want to pack up after 6 months. Most would run on a lean budget and I can guarantee that the average employee salary won't be above 20k (Twenty thousand naira). Is that what you call gainful employment?

Measure this against the number of graduates that go for NYSC yearly alone. Atleast each state recieves 1500 corp members per batch. That's 4500 corpers in each state per year.


4500× 36=162,000 graduates just in a year.

162,000×5 years of Jonathan= About 1 million graduates.

This is just the educated ones. I.e Nigerians that went to an higher institution. What of those who stopped at high school or those who never even attended a school but learnt a trade. 20 to 30 million unemployed youth?

Just deduct the number of Youwin jobs from the number of unemployed youths and you would realise YOUWIN does not even solve 0.01 per cent of the problems we have.


A sensible government would instead of the wasteful ways of doing things, provide the enabling environment for the economy to thrive and absorb the pressure of youth unemployment. For example,

1. Using youths for massive civil works.
2. Guaranteeing access to loans which we all know is the biggest problem facing most startups.
3. Funding Agricultural programs instead of the normal fertiliser distribution alone. I can't go and just collect fertiliser when I don't have a land to farm on or the crops to plant. Also the Land tenure system we use archaic and needs to be reviewed.
4. Enable security of lives and property. When investors know their investment is guaranteed and secured they would invest more. More reason the Boko Haram issue should never have been allowed to fester and left unattended to for long. The general consensus worldwide is that Nigeria is not safe and no sane person would invest in such environment.
5. Revive hailing industries by giving tax brakes to companies who employ more youths.
6. Companies like NITEL, textile industries, AJAOKUTA steel mills which guarantee the instant employement of millions should be either revived or sold transparently to companies who can manage them.
7. Ban Imports on goods or raise the import duties on such goods that can be made in Nigeria. Nothing stops us from banning tomato paste, toothpicks, diary products imports and so on. These are where the jobs are. YALE, CHIVITA , FUMMAN, BAGCO all benefitted from Obasanjo's ban of biscuits, packaged fruit juice and polythene leather sacks/bags imports. They currently employ people in their thousands and are daily growing. A visit to Papa Ajao to see what Chivita has turned to in just less than 10years would tell you a story.

It's not rocket science to create employment and govern a country. All these YOUWIN are palliatives that would fail. It's not about bad prophesies or badluck. It's simple economics. Maybe you guys should ponder on this salient fact. 87% of all startups fail and pack up within their first 1 to 3 year of existence.

How many YOUWIN businesses would still be functioning after 5 years?


And if they wanted to insist on the YOUWIN model. I guess they fancy the name alot. Just use the funds ammassed to gurantee and pay the interest incurred on such loans for a specified period of time if any Nigerian youth under the programme access loans from a commercial bank or SMEDAN. I can assure you more than 1 million would benefit that way and you would have touched more unemployed youths.

YOUWIN has failed in its objectives. No doubt about it.

And police were not stationed to provide security at the APC program same day?

Krasid:
SMH.Barka fans showing the world just how intelligent they are.Will it be logical if i say "How many copa libeterdores has messi won?"

Messi won Fifa U21 and Fifa U23 for his country and has Reached World Cup Final..all these will never count In your imaginations but it shows in many ways his successes for his home country

Would you say Same for GMB? His party stalwarts have lists such as Timpriye Sylva, Prince Abubakar Audu etc who have pending cases with EFCC?

Excellent. interested today. From what time to what time do you operate on a sunday?

This afternoon, at Lagos Intl Airport Sunkan BDC was buying USD at 220 and selling at 224

Lovely lovely designs from Snoopy..

Usually NEFT is received the next working day around 12noon.

Tunji Olowolafe is a key front for Tinubu, handles many of his prime investments. They criticize GEJ for doing NOTHING, but they came out to participate and buy-in during the DISCO privatisation

Ehe...True?

Any shortterm Executive MBA program In Estonia? Or a parttime PhD programme for Busy Executives? You can also provide your contacts here If possible

@ OP, can't get you pls. You used the word ' Over rated' and yet claim you have Not watched any of his movies.

So this truly happened? And then I now believe sincerely that APC leaders are purely Propaganda Geeks. So factual from Guardian Editor. To come out with this, he must be deeply pained!

In most countries of the world, it is not allowed for you to go buy dollars across the bank counter. You can only contact your bank and request for USD for allowable transactions such as school fees payments, BTA etc if you can provide supporting documentation

What part of rayfield? Must all plots be bought? And does it have R of O/ C of O?

nwaanambra1:
something far better than youwin will be initiated.

you win is biased and meant for a very luck few but what the next government will present will benefit all and sundry so long as you are a Nigerian.

Shows key problem by Nigerians..Youwin appraised and applauded internationally and continously supported by World Bank as Nigeria's first empowerment program based purely on Merit

It can't be true. No state Governor can order policemen to do this. They take orders strictly from the CP who takes orders from the IGP.

Please where did this happen? Which state, area, name of the bar etc? You can easily report such to the CP's office. Lagos even has public complaints office at the PPRO office in Ikeja
