I got this same email and have ever since felt skeptical about AYEEN. This is really very funny. Before now, I have participated in business plan contests and I'd be quick to note that I sense a foul play in the entirety of the scheme. BizPlan Contests are meant to be free at pitch level, but Nigerians aren't smiling. Every opportunity is seen as a money making venture. SMH.

I have also considered the kind and substance of partnership projected to applicants and the general public, and I felt it'd be totally self funded.
Also, we surely need to take some useful note on these findings of mine:

1. You are running a project in Nigeria and your key personality and point from which you run your correspondence indicates South Africa.

2. The official contact address of the Organizers happen to show:
Our mailing address is:
Africa's Young Entrepreneurs
4, jasmyn place randpark ridge randburg
4, jasmyn place randpark ridge randburg
Johannesburg, Gp 2194,
South Africa.

This is not a real address which even Google Map and Google search confirms is practically unavailable. Instead ''4 Jasmine Street, Roodepoort 1709, South Africa'' popped up as a suggestion.

3. No Nigerian address is provided, not even a Nigerian Mobile Telephone Number to that effect or a contact person. Scout through http://ayeen2016.com/ and see for yourself. They made a lot of noise about their links with huge Nigerian Government Officers and notable private entities, Yest, they are ghosts in Naija. Abeg make these people stop the expensive joke.

We need to wake up to this new face of SCAM. Believe it or not, AYEEN is a broad daylight theft scheme.

Tankiu.
