At this point some of us might have to use the little connections we have to reach the government.

By the grace of God am connected to some top and powerful Nigerians whose words are always blown up by the media.

If awardees will cooperate with me, I want to link up with one of them, explain awardees plight to him and solicit his assistance in helping us appeal to the government.

Sincerely yours if he can do that the different media houses will blow up his appeal and I assure you that all appropriate quarters will hear of it: be it President, Vice President, Minister of Finance, Media aides to the presidency etc.

I will only make the move if I can get the approval of awardees, and there must not be fear, betrayal or any sell out.

He won't attack the government, i will explain to him the impacts of the programme in job creation and diversification of the economy in this time in Nigeria and how undue delay and not even knowing our fate are almost frustrating this great programme.

However, this move should not stop the open letter. So, I am in support that we continue with the open letter as fast as possible, while I also exploit this means.

The political statements and mails (lies) emanating from YouWiN Secretariat is unbearable.

And I also want to advise that once we start making our next move let us all remained focused and refused to be distracted by any so-called mail or information from YouWiN Secretariat EXCEPT alert.
Because whenever we are planning this kind of intelligent move, YouWiN Secretariat will just send us a deceptive mail of fake promise and we will drop the move and start waiting for their promise. This has been happening since September, 2015 and till date (7th February, 2016) it has been from one story to another.

Hello sunyleeone, where did you hear this? do you mind sharing the info? No confirmation from this end sha

Reliable source. So we have no more any reason to fear.

I heard that payment of second tranche to those who have not been paid will continue (I mean start again) today.
Any confirmation in the house?

Any news? Na wa. They have frustrated people's businesses. Sigh!

Awardees from Abuja disappointed us. They refused to come out for the peaceful walk. When we have people from other States that came to participate.

Abuja awardees, whyyyyy?

Another mail from YouWiN!


Dear...
M&E...

The YouWiN! Secretariat would like to notify you that the program is still ongoing and monitoring and disbursement processes remain unchanged.

As earlier communicated, the Grant funds for the YouWiN program have been moved to the Treasury Single Account domiciled with the Central Bank of Nigeria. However, the program is yet to receive the relevant codes to access these funds due to the delay in Partner Banks’ compliance with the TSA directive. It is expected that disbursement will continue in the next few weeks and coming year when reconciliations have been finalized with the Banks, TSA and the Ministry of Finance.

The Federal Ministry of Finance is still working to resolve the legal issues with Stanbic IBTC and UBA to ensure that they comply with the TSA directive.

The Secretariat is cognizant of the challenges with awardees businesses due to delay in funds and is constantly working to ensure that these funds are released. Awardees are encouraged to keep up the good work of growing your businesses and also advised to maintain the integrity of the YouWiN! Program.

Note:
Participation in YouWiN! is FREE for all components of the program, and has not authorized any individual or organization to collect payments for participation. Candidates and awardees are advised to make no payments to anybody on account of YouWiN! participation and are required to immediately contact the secretariat should anyone request payment

Yours,

YouWiN Programme.

N.B:
Please note that this email is sent without prejudice to the prerogative
of the Federal Government of Nigeria to withdraw, terminate or modify the
YouWiN Programme at any time without notice to you.

donnaheff:
Pls can i have mr. Hans number

Why?

Pls tell all #YouWiN3Awardees of our peaceful protest to FMF on Monday

okoji:
Is youwin included in the 2016 budget? Seeing as they might not pay us this year.

Click and read from the following link. There is nothing about YouWiN in 2016 budget:

okoji:

No.
The only option we are left with is to plead for the release of our money this year.

xdream:
So dannB is now our problem? We would have been paid our grants in full if only we could attack change the way we are attacking dannB.

Leave the teenager alone, he only wanna mess around.

I called him and asked him questions, he was just blabbing. He even claimed he isn't aware of what was posted here, said it could be from a friend of him. I know he lied.

Let's attack change biko, and let's see if there won't be any result. Let's force change to address this endless delay in payments.

Now that it had been confirmed beyond every reasonable and unreasonable doubt that Daniel @DannB is so envious of YouWiN awardees that he attacked YouWiN awardees out of his frustration from his failure in life, not even been able to get transport fare to Ikoyi within Lagos and having lost in YouWiN and First Bank competition. Let us put this envious detractor behind us and continue with our plea to appropriate quarters for the release of our tranche.

Since DannB issue came up, no more posts on social media on YouWiN3Awardees release of tranche. Pls let us continue. We are not finding it funny.

God, help all YouWiN 3 Awardees. Rescue our businesses.

stagger:
Please it is "Twitter" and not "Tweeter" as mentioned severally on your posts. The only way you will get any response to this issue is to reach the VP directly. Not easy but possible.

Thanks for the correction.
How do we reach the VIP directly? Pls put us through. We need all necessary information that can help us. My major concern is those who have not received their second tranche.

When those who have received 2nd tranche are now almost running down, how much more those who have not received their second tranche.

Some people's birds are dying. And if more than half of total birds in a poultry die due to inadequate funds it is a tragedy.

#YouWiN3Awardees it is very pathetic that so many YouWiN 3 Awardees are suffering, terminating staff while some businesses are almost closed down. Yet most awardees are suffering in silence, we can't feel their impact on tweeter. Why?

Fellow YouWiN3 Awardees, let us take our cry and our plea to Facebook. Government and YouWiN Secretariat seem to completely ignore us on tweeter. Perhaps, because tweeter post is limited to just 140 characters, so we can't fully express ourselves.

Let us cry out and plead on Facebook for our businesses to be rescued. Am certain that this 3rd edition of YouWiN would have emerged one of the most successful YouWiN edition, but gross delay in release of our tranches is hampering the success and almost killing the programme.

Let us continue to cry and plead, we can't afford to get completely frustrated.

Please don't make derogatory statements, just cry out and plead, emphasizing the importance and potential success of the programme.

Only few people are active on tweeter.

I have not seen anyone actively posting on YouWiN 3 disbursement delay on Facebook.

Let us make use of Facebook to continue our plea to appropriate bodies.

xdream:
registered? Now search for xdream7, follow me and mention for a follow back.

I would put you through how you'd tweet about our plights as YouWiN awardees.

I am active now. My tweeter handle is "sunyleeone"

I've sent three posts and am now following other YouWiN3 Awardees.

What else am I to do?

xdream:
So far, @tivlandforum and I are the only two awardees active on twitter and tweeting to the above twitter handles. Where are those waiting for 2nd tranche?

I will be active from tomorrow. @RevMagba is also active

please those who have detail knowledge of tweeter can kindly put me through on what am to do next after registering on tweeter and verified my tweeter account.

All YouWiN 3 that I have their numbers I called to discuss this with them. About four YouWiN 3 awardees out of those I discuss with on phone said they are satisfied with the 1st and 2nd tranches. So they will NOT care. And I told each of them that they are VERY WICKED. That even if they are satisfied can't they fight on only because of those who have not been paid their own second tranche?

An injury to a YouWiN 3 awardee should be an injury to all. We all know what we passed through to win and what we have been passing through till date. The ridicule before the release of first tranche and the frustration of this present delay.

Please anyone who is satisfied with his/her 2nd tranche should for the sake of those yet to be paid 2nd tranche join us in this fight. Then, anyone who don't need his/her 2nd tranche should please push it into my bank account when it is paid. In fact, my business need as much fund as I can get. I can keep expanding as much as possible.

Terry1:
Please us the #YouWIN3Awardees hashtag in all tweets and complaints online. Thanks

I've not been on tweeter. But I need to join now. Because we need to rise and fight for our right. They cannot make us resign our job, create jobs for the youths only to dump us midway.

And in case the Senate President don't respond. I think Ben Murray-Bruce will be more sympathetic. Here is his Facebook page:

https://m.facebook.com/Ben-Murray-Bruce/

This our silence is too dangerous. If we don't wake up, I pray the privileged information I got don't come to pass. But I can authoritatively declare that as far as further tranches are concerned, "Closed lip is closed destiny." I pray it should not be from one excuse to another.

Since we are all on social media, I believe it will help a great deal if we can awash social media (Facebook, twitter etc) with complaints on

1. How none payment of tranches is negatively affecting our businesses after most of us had resigned our jobs to face YouWiN!

2. How we are planning to start relieving our staff and how some had been sacked, thereby increasing the number of unemployment in Nigeria.

3. All the moves we have been making to YouWiN Secretariat, FMF etc that are yielding no fruits.

It's pathetic if all the 1,500 YouWiN 3 awardees will sack minimum of 3 staff. That will amount to a whooping 4,500 youths thrown back into the unemployed dungeon.

Back to business. In addition to the Senate President's email and Facebook links I provided above, here is the contact number of the office of the Accountant General of the Federation.

You can only call between 8am and 4pm on working days.

The number: 08035874466.

Website: www.oagf.gov.ng

You can also send message on the website.

Please let us be cautious in our approach.

Some people should be banned from this our thread. Why we are into serious business, you are here gambling. Please @timothy97 stop it immediately. This is millionaires club, not gamblers' den.

Ministry of Finance Facebook page:
https://m.facebook.com/Financegovng/
We can inbox them also. But please choose your words

Here is Senate president's direct contact: contact@abubakarbukolasaraki.com

Senate president's Facebook page:
https://m.facebook.com/bukola.saraki/

Please flood his inbox wit plea.
But please, in contacting him, choose your word. Apply caution, having in mind that it is privileges we are enjoying.

Our silence is detrimental! It's high time we wake up!

xdream:
Well said. But do you think the government even give a f*ck about us? I mean the new administration.

Oh God!
This government is bent on destroying the legacies of GEJ, while GEJ keep gaining international recognition. They don't give a damm if our businesses close down.
So many YouWiN 3 awardees are laying of some of their staff.

Stopping YouWiN 3 at this level or the continuous hanging of YouWiN 3 will not bring GEJ down, rather it is affecting our economy negatively. Just imagine if each of the 1,500 YouWiN awardees sack average of 3 staff each, that is a total of 4,500 loosing their jobs due to government attempt to frustrate GEJ and Okonjo-Iwealla innovation.

We need to call the attention of this government to this figure.
I will get useful contacts and post them here.

Our silence is so terrible! And silence can be misconstrued to be satisfaction and or consent.

SURE-P finally scrapped by president Buhari. All activities to be completely closed by November 30th

Let us pray for YouWiN, as we are not encoraged by the cryptic answer provided by our boothcamp facilitators on tranche disbursement

SURE-P finally scrapped by president Buhari. All activities to be completely closed by November 30th
