How to Stay Safe during This election

There is no doubt the 2015 elections has been shifted till March, even though the shifting was greeted with so much reactions from some quarters, it is going to afford us the opportunity to prepare ourselves for the exercise.  But you need to obtain your Permanent Voters Card in order to vote and have those you desire to be in authority.  Ok!

The following are some of the precautions we need to take:

There is an impending security exercise tagged “SHOW OF FORCE” by the government security agencies in the country to be carried out as part of the efforts to ensure maximum security before, during and after the forthcoming general elections.

As at February 10, 2015, the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies have been put on high alert and they are expected to conduct periodic and random searches on people, vehicles and various hotspots. Thus, you are therefore advised to cooperate with them during this period; do not abuse security agents, obstruct their work, or resist them unnecessarily to avoid unfortunate repercussions. We have been informed that the Show of Force exercise is also a “Shoot-at-Sight” order.

Children Being Trained by Boko Haram as Foot Soldiers

                                                        Children posing with the weapons

                                                             Aiming with the Guns

Newswatch has published two images which reveal where children are being trained by the Boko Haram Group

The images show the children dressed in dark clothing and their heads covered with emblems of the Boko Haram. In one photo, the children are aiming their guns while in another they are posing with the weapons.

The most worrisome part of it is that both young girls and boys are present in the photos, while some are holding AK47 assault rifles, others are holding cutouts of weapons.

Investigations revealed that Boko Haram uses child soldiers in order to boost its membership numbers.

How to apply for Fed Govt "You-Win" Business Plan Competition

The GoodLuck Jonathan Led Federal Government introduced Youwin Business Plan Competition in 2011.  It is one of the Federal Government’s strategies to address unemployment among the youths especially between the ages of 18 – 45 years. 

The essence is to encourage youths with existing businesses or viable business ideas or innovations to establish businesses that can employ others.  Since the introduction of this laudable project, more than 3,600 youths have been given the non refundable grant of between N1m – N10m depending on the need of the business to establish or expand their businesses.

Unfortunately, a good number of people are not aware of what Youwin is all about.  This post is to generally answer the numerous questions being asked concerning youwin.  Because I have a good knowledge of what Youwin is all about having participated in the past, I am going to guide you on how to apply for the competition.

Step 1:  Go to "YouWin"

Step 2:  At the right hand side of the website, you will see “Apply Now”

Step3:  Click on the “Apply Now”, it will take you to where you will register.  Before you begin to register, remember to check if you are qualified to apply (i.e. You must be between 18-45 years of age, citizen of Nigeria, at least Post Secondary School Certificate holder and ready to establish the business here in Nigeria).

Step 4:  Fill in the Registration Form and submit.  Make sure you have an active email address.  This is because all the processes of Youwin Application are done on-line and it will be through your email.

Step 5:  Go to your mail box and check for the Password generated for you.  You will be using this password to open your account where you will answer the questions.

Step 6:  Go back to the website, click on the “login” button.  Enter your username, preferably your email address and the password you have gotten from your mail box to open your account.

Step 7:  Answer the questions and if you are satisfied with your answers, press the submit button and the Youwin Secretariat will notify you in due course if you are qualified for the training to enter the second stage which is the real competition.

If your business idea is good enough, you will be given the grant you have requested so that you can build a business that will employ some Nigerians to reduce unemployment.

If you are qualified why not give it a trial.  If you need more help do not hesitate to contact me.

To your success.
