The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in partnership with Heritage Bank Plc has disbursed a total of N93 million to 310 young entrepreneurs in the country under the Youth Entrepreneurship Development Programme (YEDP) of the apex bank.

The disbursement of funds worth N3 million each to serving and ex-Corps members, was carried out in collaboration with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), at a ceremony which took place on Thursday in Abuja.

Speaking at the event, the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, represented by the Deputy Governor (Corporate Services}, Alhaji Sulieman Barau, said that the programme was to ensure that the creative energies of the over 64 million Nigerian youths are harnessed to stimulate growth, address restiveness and promote economic development.

He said that the programme was open to 18 to 35 years-old serving corps members, graduates or artisans.

The Managing Director of Heritage Bank, Mr Ifie Sekibo, urged the CBN to expand the programme to accommodate more qualified youth entrepreneurs.

Quoting from the National Bureau of Statistics, Sekibo, who was represented by the bank’s Executive Director, Corporate Banking, Mrs Mary Akpobome, said there were about 64 million unemployed youths in the country.

Sekibo said the bank currently has over 7,000 business proposals, thus it will require additional funding to cater for the needs of Nigerians.

He added that about N3 billion has been set aside at the initial stage for the programme which is why each participant is getting N3 million each, as the pilot programme is for a thousand people.

In his reaction, the NYSC Director-General, Brig. Gen. Sulaiman Kazaure, thanked the CBN for supporting efforts to empower the youths.

Kazaure noted that the launch of the YEDP would, among other things, create room for increasing the number of beneficiaries of the entrepreneurship training and venture prize competition to make meaningful impact.

The DG urged the beneficiaries of the programme to remain focused and ensure that the loans are paid back to enable other Corps members benefit from the facility.

After losing her twin sister two years ago, Kehinde says she is glad she is able to move on, but more delighted that she left a very young son who she has been taking care of and that always makes her at peace knowing she is not totally gone. Speaking to Sunday Punch, about getting ready for marriage and making babies,she said;One of the reasons why I have yet to marry is my career. Being a female artiste is tough and it always has an effect on one’s love life. It takes only someone who really loves you to support your career.People have a lot of negative impressions about artistes. I am no longer young and as soon as the man is ready, I amalso ready. I have reached a point in my life when I want to have a home and make babies.About her sister’s death, she said;Losing my twin sister, two years ago, remains the lowest point of my life. That I survived the experience is still a mystery. We were together right from the womb and to have her suddenly snatched away is the most hurtful aspect of my life.I am coping with the loss but I can never get over her death. We were very close and did everything together.Having to forge ahead with my life and career without her love, care and guidance, is a heart-wrenching experience.Every day, I wish she never died. I am thankful to God that she left me a piece of her. Caring for her young son, soothes the pain I feel and calms my spirit.I miss everything about her.

This is the official group for Five2btc team, an investment platform that offers you the opportunity to convert a one-time investment of $7 or 0.01btc into a massive stream of monthly income without having to sell anything or find downlines all by yourself. It is a Person-To-Person Direct Donation Platform. I have developed a strategy that will have downlines placed under you. All you have to do is invite your friends just as you were invited.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
When you invest $6.4, this is what you get;
Level 1 – 0.005btc or $3.5
Level 2 – 0.02btc or $14
Level 3 – 0.12btc or $84
Level 4 – 1.2btc or $840
Level 5 – 64btc or $44,800
Total: 65.345btc or $45,741

HOW IT WORKS AND THE ESTIMATED PROFIT CALCULATION OF FIVE2BTC SYSTEM UP TO LEVEL 5
You register and donate 0.01btc ($6.5) to enter level one. You will receive 0.02 ($14)
LEVEL 1
2 x 0.01btc (paid by your 2 referrals) = 0.02btc (you upgrade to level 2 with 0.015btc)
Profit = 0.005btc or $3.5 (you will receive this sum immediately and monthly if you stay at this level)

LEVEL 2
4 x 0.015btc (paid by 4 people on your level 2 downline) = 0.06btc (you upgrade to level 3 with 0.04btc)
Profit = 0.02btc or $14 (you will receive this sum immediately and monthly if you stay at this level)

LEVEL 3
8 x 0.04btc (paid by 8 people on your level 3 downline) = 0.32btc (you upgrade to level 4 with 0.2btc) Profit = 0.12btc or $84 (you will receive this sum immediately and monthly if you stay at this level)

LEVEL 4
16 x 0.2btc (paid by 16 people on your level 4 downlines) = 3.2btc (you upgrade to level 5 with 2btc) Profit = 1.2btc or $840 (you will receive this sum immediately and monthly if you stay at this level)

LEVEL 5
32 x 2btc (paid by 32 people on your level 5 downlines) = 64btc
Profit = 64btc or $44,800 (There is no upgrading this is the final stage) you will receive this sum immediately and monthly when you get to this level

THE BENEFITS YOU WILL ENJOY BEING ON THIS TEAM:
I discovered that even if you can source downlines yourself, you’d always get to the exhaustion point (when you’ve exhausted your contacts). I decided to adopt a concept to solve that problem and one that allows you do NOTHING extra except invite friends to the group. Since everyone needs just two people, once you sign up, the next set of people registered will be placed under you on a first-come-first-serve basis to allow everyone grow fairly. This works by the spill-over effect. In other words, this team helps you grow faster,

If you take a close look at Nigerian drivers today. You notice a lot of them drives a Toyota branded car. AskNigeria took a constant survey, and we noticed that in 20 vehicles counted, we found out that 8 were Toyota branded vehicles. Are they ignorant of better and more preferred features of both a Honda and Nissan product. Please give your opinion about this.
