Nice

Big men wan steal ideas to invest

hi

Lol

Are you sure this guys are not gonna be stealing people ideas?

Ideas are one thing executuon is another executing in Nigeria is a different ball game of its own.

Nice. This is better than youths going to debase themselves on one purposeless BBNaija. At least they will be spurred to think creatively and innovatively.

Crooks are here again, don't sell your ideas short, I repeat, DON'T SELL YOUR IDEAS SHORT!!!

That's how they came like deceitful Lucifer years ago in our NYSC camp promising heaven on earth, distributing a form to be filled out with ideas, which will be submitted to them, on the ground that they take it to Abuja, process it and help Corp members with the funds they need to start off.

I knew it was scam as a street guy, I ended up convincing almost all my platoon members not to write a word on the form, but I wonder how graduates will be so foolish to be penning down their natural ideas on any paper they are convinced to.

I wonder if Seun will be happy if he foolishly penned down his Nairaland idea on a sheet of A4 paper. On a second thought, who even know if he got the idea from a stupid youth back in the days.

One way to encourage creativity and innovation among the youths.

Your ideas is absolutely worthless without the resources to execute it.

If you are truly street, there's nothing they can do with your ideas, cos they can't go all the way either. The journey is long.

I won't be surprised if they reduce the money after stealing their ideas.

I would encourage people applying to first register their copyright at myowns.com and save it.

I don't really think its worth risking though because Nigerians do not respect or understand copyright issues even judiciary.
The money na just million for eye not worth risking a prospective source of gold that you and your generations could enjoy.

You guys had better not waste your time applying because Bank of Industry will not give you N1 self.

Those of us with proper resources fought and got exhausted. Students will just be used to add another worthless media achievement and you will see nothing.

You can ask YES-P, BIG, Youwin connect participants how it went down. Resources wasted, no funds disbursed.

There are very few ideas that haven't been thought of under the sun. Don't always maintain that perception that somebody wants to steal your idea, else a very good opportunity for you to kick start your business might just slip past you. Life's full of risk, no risk no reward. Besides look around you today, most successful businesses have rivals that sometimes, equally matched, but they still flourish. So sign up if you want to. The sky is wide enough for all.

At the same time people shouldn't be foolish to give out idea to out of the blue person. idea is unique . something new that's why it yours.

Even if an investor is going to invest i your ideas there are intellectual protection law to help you from being infringe on. reasons why people patent, copyright, trademark because you cant trust the next person with your idea.

Your idea is the gateway to financial freedom so be wary who its been shared with. not caring enough for our ideas is why we sign our company away from the very start, reason people end up signing slave contract.

Perfect opportunity
