Its true. My wife and I put heads together to make the first stage application. She was not only shortlisted, but has long gone for the training and received a mail for the second phase yesterday. We did not know anyone anywhere. I was only informed about it and its genuiness by a friend (a sacked former employee of Diamond bank) who got a =N=9M grant to run his dream, a now thriving fish farm in Benin city. As i write this, i am in Benin to see d farm and get more info about the nitty grities of the youwin biz plan competition.

Where are the naysayers?

I demanded for 4M but was not approved. I wish I could post my bp here.

It was the male version.

free2ryhme:

Vote GEJ come 2015

people are benefiting from the program, below is a picture of the truck of someone i know who used her's for paint manufacturing.

Billyonaire: Vote GEJ come 2015

Nah. This ain't grounds enough to vote back this fellow. We'll kick him out in 2015.

Thanks a lot. But one cannot change the proposed idea half way na, abi?

U mean there is no single qualified human being among the 170 million Nigerians to gun for the top-shot? Including u?

Broda, Ur statement shocks!!

Billyonaire: Vote GEJ come 2015

Now broda, be sincere with us pls, what has Youwin promo got to do with GEJ & 2015? Or has it turned to campaign strategy too?

My broda, U shocked me with that comment!

Can someone who have been in dis help? I really want to participate. I make jewelries. Good
presentation of the proposal is my challenge.
Thanks

Don't get it twisted. Somebody gave one reason albeit prematurely to vote in GEJ in 2015. The least Ikonz should have done is to counter with facts. Kick Jona out of Aso rock come 2015 for the fun of it? I've said this before, and i'm saying it again; unreasonable attacks and Blind critcism will do no one any good.

Keep checking the website till sometime in september. Put together a reasonble business plan with all the basic requirements. Fill out the template. If they like your plan, you'll be selected. By the way, it is very competitive and subsequent ones would be even more so considering that people are believing more in the program. The website is www.youwin.org.ng

We're only helping the ladies in the application process. Did they say anywhere that men should not help?
