dav8id: thank God the guy said he make money from the business but its very risky . Any risky in cash and carry ? You see the produce, your local agent tested it and confirm it if its well dry and good for storage .so what is the risky here.

@All i urge someone to just make a trip to that market and see money d flow..

Before we see the money flow, I have questions:

a) What is the cost of storage? Is there a warehouse, or does the commodity buyer get a shop and store the goods?
b) What about protection against thieves, or your "local agent" ganging up with others to dupe you? How do you protect against that?
c) Do the agents have a union? Can each agent be traced, so that if there is any yawa, measures can be taken?
d) How about transport costs to and from the market to the storehouse?

Two new cases of Ebola Virus Disease have been discovered.

dav8id: You cant be a successful agro produce trader without local agent. Either you trust them and do business with them or you recruite your local agent from someone you trust and inject him in the market by following all their requirement of being the a local agent in the market. Thats what the ultimate Olam Nig did in the saseme market.
By the process of injecting ur personal agent in the market is what i dont knw but a simple visit to the market by u and make the full enquirement will do u gud.

I want to ask a question, and I will do so publicly.

What is in the whole deal for you? What do you stand to gain from exposing this to the whole world? I will like to have a very honest answer from you. I have a company in Nasarawa state so accessing this opportunity in Lafia is not a big deal for me. But I want to know what YOU stand to gain from the whole arrangement.

Are you a local agent?
Are you a sourcing agent and will make money from fees charged?
Do you own a store?

PURITYMYPRIDE: you want to use people to make money.storage is not a business.stop persuading people to gamble with their money.

The biz is not about storage. Go and read about the story of Joseph and how Egypt became a Mecca to the world in time of famine.

We should have followed Gambia's example and closed our airspace to all flights from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. WTF!

He should be quarantined on arrival.

It baffles me how the babalawo Gambian president took this step long ago and Ebola did not cross into Gambia which is next door to Liberia and Sierra Leone, but our dumb govt could not take this step until after the fact.

Terribly dumb govt we have.

OP,

There is hardly a day you do not see a car broken down at that particular flyover. As a rule I do not stop. I just drive past. People have been robbed in such manner. Shine ya eyes o!

CoolKizzy: The hard disk where I saved my proposal crashed! now I don't have any copy of it and have forgotten/ can't vividly remember certain things, any help on this house?

Now you really need to watch those Dragon Den episodes so you can know what you should VIVIDLY REMEMBER. That is why you should always go to market and cook the damn soup yourself. You will remember the steps better than when someone else cooks the soup for you.

From Mr Soup Ideology!

Relationship101: Kudos to all the women (and men) that are standing up against domestic abuse. Africans have experienced a large dose of abuse (especially to the women) and we need to stand up against this devilish act. I lopve women. They are queens. They are strong, energetic, important and compassionate. Damn! Did I forget to mention that they are sexy?
.....................

BUT*clears throat* for those idiots that think men are the HEAD which automatically place women somewhere beneath, I pray you fall into river niger and drown (fortunately for you, that isn't going to happen) but I still wish bad for you. To all those stupid women that has been brainwashed into thinking that they need to be beaten, harassed or maltreated for them to BE a woman, I pray you go to hell fire. You have lost your sense of becoming 'yourself'. You've sold your soul to an ideology that is contrary to the ethics of being a human being. To all those clergy that preaches 'submission' to women. I come against you with all my might. You have destroyed our women. You have made our wife remain in an abusive home simply because they need to be submissive to their fucking husband. What actually is submission? Is it the 21st century term for slavery. Woe unto you! You have made the teenagers in my street think that they need to FEAR men and give them respects they don't deserve simply because they are men.

Marriage is not a hierarchy of positions. It is partnership. It is BEING together. It is LOVE. It is kissing all night by the moon light without any thought for tomorrow. Women are not baby making machines. Their DUTY is not to be used.

A marriage without children can also be a sweet marriage if both parties agree together. Don't call the woman witch. (Yes I am talking to you the useless in-laws). Go get a job and stay away from peoples life. Women pride is my pride. Women courage is my courage. Women freedom is my freedom. I love women.

You are indeed very stupid and bereft of any sense of reasoning.

Mention one organization (even in sports) that does not have a captain. Headship brings direction. It brings accountability and also calls for representation. The head should also be the one that should be the last man standing. The bible calls such a person the strongman of the house.

That is what a man is in a household. A defence, provider of means, provider of leadership. So if the police stop your wife and start harassing her on the road and she gives you a call, you will hide under the garbage you have just spilled out? You are crazy!

Heroesworths: pls i m yet to register a biz, Do you think Youwin will penalized me for this?

Hahahahaha!

See this one that wants to disqualify himself even before the final lap of the race has begun. What in the world are you waiting for? God sends opportunities our way, but some people just allow their laziness to rob them of their reward. If you do not have money, better go and borrow N15,000 and register your company sharply!

They should all be shot!

Why don't they go to Gaza and fight with Hamas?

chloride6: Do you want to eat?
Or
Do you want to fight?
You really can't have both now, can you?

2 million killed by starvation

1 million by bombs and bullets.

If your mother was one of those refugees who had to f.uck a filthy Federal soldier for relief materials in return, you would not utter this nonsense.

The cone blender costs 700k. How many start ups can afford that?

blink182: What channel is it aired on?

A friend and nairalander sold 20% of his tech start up to a nairaland guest I think for over N20m this month. When he analysed nairaland with me, he said Seun could raise up to N3bn from here if he wanted to.

When president Jonathan returns in 2015, he will most likely restart this program and I hope I will be ready then to apply as an existing business with months of positive cash flow to show.

I believe it is on Channel 184.

CoolKizzy: so much grammar. what happened to answering the question since you do watch it?

Madam, my sister won close to N10m using some of these coaching techniques from YouWIN 2 for our family business. Now I am about securing a venture capital investment in agric from an Israeli firm. We used to watch that program, take notes and analyse everything that the dragons would say or comment about a business plan, then we used this to prepare the business plan that won the maximum she applied for.

The lesson here: the skill stays with us. Permanently.

You are waiting for me to go to market, buy the ingredients, cook the soup, serve you the soup, then scoop the soup into your mouth, probably chew the meat for you and swallow the soup for you. Rubbish!

Better go and learn to fish and stop depending on handouts. IF YOU CANNOT PAY THE PRICE TO GET AN INVESTMENT, YOU SHOULD BECOME A CIVIL SERVANT.

CoolKizzy: Please who knows what we are to expect from the interview? will they ask us to practically demonstrate the skills we claim to have or will the ask us questions about the plan we wrote? I'm just trying to be prepared.

Tune in to BBC Knowledge on DSTV by 7pm, on weekdays and watch Dragons Den. Pay particular attention to the questions asked by Duncan Bannatyne. You will get an idea of what it means to defend a proposal to attract funding.

Emessy: WALLA-HI PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE VERY ANNOYING , how can you be so STUPID and BRAINLESS , you watched the video and you know the one being killed is a MUSLIM and here you are ranting... ENEMIES OF ISLAM I FEAR YOUR END

You are even talking. One day we will fish all you fundamentalists out and slit your throats. That day is coming and coming fast.

coolzeal: Why can't Israel be sanction?

On what basis? Sanctioned for defending their land against terrorists. Every child killed is one less Hamas terrorist killed.

Not every govt will tolerate what Nigeria is tolerating from Boko haram. Three teenagers were kidnapped, murdered and their bodies dumped in a field. Try that with Americans and see how far.

Big lesson for women: never allow a man to enter your London without collecting a visa from your parents.

aguiyi: Test run from were to were pls, I just returned from station road and still wondering why I will join a train from UTC and highlight at Lagos bus stop.

Time when I go take climb up go enter the monorail don reach taxi to carry me reach and come back.


How will that train pass mile 1 flyover, how will it pass CFC, Garrison and others or is it ikwerre road that it will pass to greater port harcourt.

If so, why is Amaechi not completing the demolition and payment of necessary compensation if he want the next gov to complete this project or he is using that as an escape route to apportion blame when he finally leaves office

I tire o. Instead of him to construct one from Eleme Junction all the way to Lagos bus stop so as to avoid all those traffic areas, it is from UTC to Lagos which one can do in 10 minutes with a taxi that he constructed. Another white elephant project.

blink182: congratulations bro. I've passed half way with my business proposal that was rejected, I got my cac certificate early this month. When the business succeeds, I'll mock this program at every interview I attend.

Childish! Go and ask all those successful businessmen in Alaba, Ladipo and other places in Nigeria how many of them were given free money from the Federal Govt. So because you were not selected after all the noise you made earlier before the 1st stage selection, you will now mock the program. Good luck to you.

apolonius: Why is she so desperate?If this were about service she won't be insisting on staying on.

She is an ex-convict and their constitution is clear that she is barred from holding office. Yet she came in the wuruwuru way and fighting hard to stay on.

Something is wrong with most of us as Nigerians.

Point of correction. She is not a public office holder, so the first sentence is based on a very wrong premise.

neksummi: Thanks.

My younger brother wasn't selected. But it's ok. At least let other families too be represented. Thank God your sister was selected so you've got your family represented. I wish you the best in your future endeavours. And I pray Youwin does something for everyone of the 6000 second stage candidates.

Wishful thinking. You are already seeing a change in format which would weed off a lot of people and you are talking of doing something for the 6000 candidates. I know at least 2 persons that did not submit the stage 2 business plans. How does YouWIN now give such people anything?

Omaobe: Congrats to dose of us selected and all the thanks to God our Creator alone. To those not selected, just say 'may God bless ours for us' and He shall do sth bigger and better for u too very soon. Yes, very soon by His grace.

Now I have questions. Is it that those of us that got d email now are d ones in the final list of 1200 or is it that they selected more than that from which they will select d final 1200? because my email reads 'NOTIFICATION OF SELECTION FOR YouWiN INTERVIEW'. Can someone who is sure clarify this from any past winner pls? because I'm still a little bit sceptical o.

Like I said earlier, this is a YouWIN first. I think they have used the experiences of the 2 programs where many awardees are still struggling despite the cash injections, as well as the known fact of people having others write their proposals or fronting for others to come up with the idea where you come to defend your proposal, the way it is done on Dragons Den.

Therefore, it is very likely that many people will be dropped. But the 1,200 figure will be maintained when awards are announced.

I do believe I had stated it very clearly here why people were made to register business names. This is the time to start looking out for other sources of funding. Strike deals. Get in partners (from within and outside). It is better to have 10% of something than 100% of nothing. Many of the world's billionaires are not single owners of their companies.

obiscolly: I got the mail too. Interview again I thought it was straight to shortlisting successful candidates?

This can only mean one thing: The YouWIN secretariat has got wind of all the people who had proposals written for them as well people acting as fronts for others behind the scenes. There were no such interviews in YouWIN 1 and 2.

Well, to those who wrote their business plans themselves, congrats. You have a chance. To those who fielded business plans written for them by others and those acting as fronts, this is the end of the road.

Benop: Good day pals.

I saw the advert on TV mid last year on the online platform OLX and decided to have a look at it. I got to even download the mobile app on my phone, was interested in buying a car and on opening that section I was amazed on the cheap rates they put the cars for sale.

I got involved with one of the dealers who said he was selling Nigerian Customs auctioned cars.

To cut the story short, I ended up being scamed and many are still being scammed today.

Is there any hope of recovering the money?

Can these scammers be stopped from ripping the general public?

Do OLX managers know every user of their site and are they aware of this?

I will appreciate your kind responses please!!!

So with all this noise and even rebuttals being made by customs on the fakeness of these so-called "auctioned vehicles", you still fell for it?

That mofo of a pedophile is damn lucky. If it had been me, I would plant my size 8 hands around his neck and compress it so hard until he becomes motionless.

I would love to look into his eyes when he goes out to hell so he has a memory of the last person he fooled around with!

ignis: Are you sure of this information?

What pointers do you have to the contrary? The other 4800 would be sent periodic information about other financing opportunities such as BOI loans, etc which they can utilize, and they need to have registered businesses in order for this to happen. Simple!

Na wa o. Meanwhile people are dying...

Dreamtouch: Lyk criously how many names are we expecting to be shortlistedOlboy the tension and anxiety even pass worldcup own by far...o di nma...#Gracetinx

1200 names. No more no less. Forget all those funny rumours.
