Social Exchange Market Grant for Nigeria; Real or scam?

I want to seize this opportunity to warn every Nigerian about  Social Exchange market grants.  I read on huntersinternational that the long-awaited Social Exchange Market Grant is about ready for disbursement in Nigeria.

The post has it that Mr. Adetula Emmanuel, the Principal Coordinator of Great Impact Microfinance Bank, who also serves as the SEM Coordinator for all Principal Directors in Ondo and Ekiti, stated that “money is here already. The challenge at hand now is just the documentation to the fund release. That’s it.”

My main aim of this write up is not prove whether Social Exchange market grants is real or scam. This is because already people are being scam in the name of getting Social Exchange Market grant.

If actually you are looking for money to start up a business, these  10 ways can help you raise money to start up your own business.

Warning: Please,  disregard any such  information on Social Exchange market grants or any related one on  internet or whatsapp group. Fraudsters are everywhere!!!

According Hunters International;

1. ‘Our reporters post updates received from the organisers of social market exchange grants scheme.
2. Ever since, they have never reported the fund is coming from World Bank, but a foreign charity.
3. Our contacts provide photos, videos, and documentations to back up their claim.
4. Hunters International is not part of the organiser; we simply report the proceedings.
5. We keep contacts with a charity foundation, not multi-purpose co-orperative schemes.
6. We are aware some people (cooperative guys) are asking for money for application till date (it may be a way to dupe Nigerians).

My verdict: With all the evidence we have seen, I would say, let’s wait to see if all these Abuja meetings of stakeholders is a film trick or not. There is nothing to lose if everyone wakes up from their daydreaming. To me, it looks more real (with all the findings our reporters have made, and with the proof we’re getting from bethanyworld. After all, it costs us no dime. We advise everybody not to pay for any form anywhere (as far as what we know today).

We will make changes to this article if the need arises.

  1. Please fulfill your promise for disbursement as you have said,let it happen real wether dated or undated but you people have promised december 31st to january.again some outlets have started negotiating on how much should go to the bishop,some said out 5mil,250mil per each beneficiary will be deducted for the bishop.please is it true? If not true,a serious monitoring agents should be set up on the day of disbursement.

  2. I pray let this grant be paid and shame shall be to those who are ignorantly inpatient and ancious saying all sort of evil words against the grant.

  3. The waiting time is just too long for one to believe there is money to be disbursed, fingers crossed till the end of this story,at the end we will know the truth.

  4. *Hello all SEM, TELPECOM, SEMCCA, NCs, ETC. GRANT HOPEFULS.*

    It is time we spoke up and our voices were heard loud and clear!
    Who are we?
    *We are the silent majority.*
    *We are the direct beneficiaries, or so they told us.*
    *Some of us are Chairmen of Outlets and Principal Directors.*
    *Some of us have been targets of attacks, and some have been called all manner of names by those we represent.*
    *Some of us have spent our personal funds in upwards of N3 million Naira in anticipation of alleviating our people’s poverty and wiping the tears of poverty from their eyes.*
    *We are the main people.*

    We know the following:

    1. We did all the footwork and gathered all the data of people whose names and details are being used to make the grant possible. We are the people. We know, we only trusted you all for a while.

    2. We have direct contact and access to the grassroots – we are mobilizes. Never play with such people. With a flip of the hand we can change things, never forget this.

    3. We believed too much and too early, so we neglected basic legal and formal approaches to doing business and carrying out transactions. We were wrong, but we know how to correct such wrongs. It’s usually not a pleasant way too.

    4. The NGOs, Cooperatives, etc…came to us with too much smooth and sweet talking it was difficult to resist them. They promised soooooo much and delivered nothing. Some even collected some money from us to do Empowerment which never saw the light of day.

    5. Faith played a major role in this too. It came through some religious means and through mostly religious leaders, we were forced to believe. Now, should we stop believing our men of God? Nawa o…

    6. We all feel raped and betrayed and the constant posts and counter posts, accusations and counter accusations, disclaimers and counter claims, etc. have made us aware that there is definitely something wrong somewhere. We will unravel it in our own way – the people’s way.

    There are a few things to note too:

    A. We did not pay monies to any Comrade Donald or SEM directly and all promises we received were directly from our NGOs or Cooperatives and NCs. *Funny thing is how we are being given receipts of N120k when some of us paid more than N3m for a Micro Finance Outlet.* If you remember, most beneficiaries paid minimum of N2,000 to register. Some. Paid as high as N5,000 and we had a minimum of N1,000 persons per outlet. Do the Maths yourself.

    B. We have had many changes in dates, in processes, and procedures which have left some of us bewildered and exasperated. We have been invited many times to carry out one thing or another. Collation today, Ledger something tomorrow, signing of UCR, all of these are endless and now we hear one “Pass book” something.
    In all these, we the people have been enduring untold hardship and pains, no one feels our pain, *No One*. Don’t be deceived. Not your NGO, nor your NC. Nobody feels what we feel. If they did, they would have returned some part of those bank opening, Empowerment and registration money to us.
    Donald said they paid 120k to him, the remaining millions, where are they?

    C. We have seen that we have no one to speak for us and we can’t keep believing those who have ridiculed and taken us for a ride over couple of years anymore. *We the people, the main people must speak out!*

    D. We must warn all these organizations including SEM, SEMCCA, NCs AND TELPECOM, that *we the people are about to speak, and we will speak loud and clear.*
    We may not have the receipts or documentations for all you suppressed us to collect, but we will speak and when we do you won’t be able to stand the fire. *SEM will make us sign forms and not give us a copy of what we appended signatures for? Asking us not to take out phones in so we don’t snap the forms? What are all those secrecy for?*

    Something is brewing and the people, the main people are ready. *If something is not done this year to prove that this grant is genuine and that we at least have the Intervention Funds promised us, Nigeria and the world will help us hear o.*

    You may think that all is well because some people have been making the main people keep quiet, you are wrong.

    *All the days of tossing us to and fro like chaff before the wind, are over. We will speak now.*

    *NOTE:*
    We haven’t called anyone names, we have made our points as clear as possible. We will not be dragged into any diversionary tactics. We have a clear purpose and the voice of the people is the voice of God.
    Evil only thrives when good people keep quiet for too long.

    Will you take our monies and kill us? We wait for your response to this as you always do.
    We know disclaimers will start flying every where soon and some people will start pointing accusing fingers and calling each other names.

    TELPECOM, from the audio we heard, which we circulated to the ends of the earth, have said 20th December 2019 we should expect good news. SEM has said they are the ones to disburse and that no one else will… See how you confuse us? Were you not all together before you called us to come own Outlets and become beneficiaries?
    God of those poor people who borrowed, sweated and fought to pay those monies has arisen and He will fight. We love the way He fights too…
    We will use Scriptures too, since we know you all love using the Bible:
    “Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:”
    Proverbs 22:22 KJVA

    “I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

    Psalm 140:12 KJVA

    You have not been kind to us at all. And your languages are full of all manner of barrack commands. We took note of the lack of decorum and politeness in your communications and some of our NCs are even worse off. Talking to people they don’t know anyhow. If only they knew those who signed up for this scheme… Some of them even remove names from Whatsapp Groups arbitrarily. Your days have been counted and we will soon let you know what our response will be.
    *Henceforth, no one should give us any updates. We don’t know whose updates to believe.* Call us when you are ready to disburse on 20-12-2019. And stop bringing up any other verification process. We will stall it and strongly contend with such diversionary tactics and evil attempt to keep the process longer than necessary. You all should really be ashamed of yourselves by now.

    May God bless all THE MAIN PEOPLE who have made some few lords today that they are doing as they like.
    *It will not be long, we will speak and very loud and clear. We’ve waited, we’ve built networks, no wahala*
    Share this to all your platforms and to the individuals that are part of this. We are more than them and we will take what belongs to us.

  5. Pls. We have experienced several promised and failed dates. We still believe in it’s reality, but when is the authenthic date.

  6. where are all those stupid idiots on this forum speaking for SEM nack then…see now…I’m the truth…now the forum is empty..ppl are tired..no money has been paid…we were dragging issues here since last year… Austin,stevoo and some other scumbags…show us the money…SEM will perish

    1. Where are the prophets of disbursements? where went the training mongers, general rumor peddlers and Donald’s twice? Are they tired or debriefed of ideas and information? What has suddenly gone wrong? Have they loosed interest in deceptions? could it be that the deceiver has been deceived – karmic law of nature – sowing and reaping.

      We all know it will come to this but we all followed them sheepishly, willy-nil without questioning.

      I candidly advise all to key into the SEM telegram and watch for what they would want us to do. Listen no more to anybody no mater how highly placed. SEM has assumed all the available positions hitherto occupied by the keyboard masters and giants.

      God Bless all

  7. In our area they told us to go and open an account with eco bank with #2050 b4 we can be granted. How far about that one my people. Are they on scammer or real

    1. Pleas which side are you from I mean the State. because I head the same things happen in Oyo State where I registered

  8. What’s the latest news pls? Happy new year great people…. Wish us best of good things this year in Jesus name….. I have moved on with live…..but my mind nor greet comot for the grant….. What’s next?

        1. My Brother

          please it will not make any meaning because you were not in this platform when guys were almost killing us with high bp lies on the grounds of updates from Sem.

          It was not funny. They will tell you that disbursement would take place the next day at a certain venue, Abuja is ready for training of PDS and that all PDS should come with certain documentations.

          They have all gone awol.

        2. Gudenings guys.our grant hunt is still on.don’t blame the ncs they were saying what Donald told them in the beginning. I believed donald did not tell them the whole truth abintio.the grant may be real but it will take time.if Donald don’t disburse this people will desert him and call him a fraudster.now he has started all over again seeking for data this one will take care of this year.by January we will start verification and completion of the short fall.I believe hr is still working to secure the fund.approval may have been given but no dime will drop until proper documentation is done.he is talking about business grant and it is going to be big money it is not going to be easy.my take is not he was not straight with the ncs from the beginning and this translated to beneficiaries. They said they are starting afresh.the Nigerian mentality among the ncs balkinised the whole thing.

  9. THE LAST MESSAGE FROM SEM HAS OPENED A NEW VISTAS FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF EXTORTION OF MASSES. MFOS HAVE STARTED INVITD BENEFIARIES FOR MEETINGS ON HOW TO RAISE MONEY TO COMPLETE THE NEW FORMAT. SEM WHY THESE

    1. The Social Media prophets and motivational key board giants have gone into oblivion.

      The big masquerade has entered into the scene and the small ones are now running for their dear life. SEM is now talking directly to all and their self acclaimed mouth peace have relieved themselves of their self arrogated duties/roles.

      God will help us.

  10. *Press Release*

    *National Executive Resolution held on the 11th June,2019 at Abuja on the ongoing SEM Controversial Message sent on the 2nd June, 2019*

    Due to the ongoing SEM controversial request, the National Executive held an emergency meeting today dated 11th June,2019.

    After using our binocular concave eyes, we could not ascertained that the aforesaid template request emanated from Social Exchange Market (SEM).

    On this note, we therefore implored all National Coordinators, State Coordinators,Chairmen, Directors and Beneficiaries to ignore such message and do not forward any softcopy or vital information to cyber intruders to avoid hacking into your personal information or your beneficiary information which would be injurious to your lifetime.

    Anybody that perpetrate such act or engaged in such injurious phenomenon does that at his/her own RISK.

    It was unanimously agreed that until Comrade Donald Olorunkeyede called our Chairman to confirmed and assured him on the authenticity, our decision stands and bind on all concerned parties.

    May you reap the fruit of your Labour in Jesus Name.

    Pst Asogbon Godwin O.
    *National Secretary*

  11. Good morning Dear Coordinators and members .
    We bless God for everything .
    May His Name Alone Be Glorified forever. Amen.

    On the recent development concerning the SMS received across the country by National Coordinators and Principal Directors from SEM, We give thanks to God.
    The message came from SEM indeed.

    We thank God because we heard from SEM after a good number of months in silence.
    We thank God because that is the result of answered prayers.

    Expectation.
    Please I want to appeal to all the Principal Directors in Bethany to check their documentation and mark out areas that need to be corrected at the commencement of activities.
    SEM sms did not give a clear direction of operation for now. SEM just have to state some reasons for the sms. It is in order.
    The exercise SEM wants us to embark on as indicated in the SMS will cost money
    Many of our principal directors have locked down offices due to rent payment issues. The entire staff that work with those principal directors have all gone due to non payment of salaries.
    Bethany will not encourage extortion allegation against any of our outlet directors as stipulated in the SMS, therefore we appeal to everyone to just make sure you have marked out any area in your outlet details that must be adjusted when the coast is clear enough to commence disbursement activities.

    Thank you so much for all the prayers and patience.
    We shall all live to see and enjoy this God’s blessing towards humanity.

    Executive Director
    BHDC
    ABUJA

  12. I do believe that God in his infinite mercies will put d devil to shame and this money will be disbursed against d evil wishes of many.God bless sem, Pst.Elijah samuel.

  13. Everything about the SEM grant is a scam.They have shifted ground from 12th to 17 June but now to July after the court case on 28th June to know the outcome of the court case.what actually are you sensing scam Scam scam scamooooooooooooooh

  14. *Small Update*

    *Important Summary*
    -The EFCC ‘ Lead Counsel is expected to come with her preliminary objections on Friday, June28,2019
    -From all that happened today, the EFCC is apparently confused and afraid.
    -God really heard our prayers. Why did I say this? If I were to score the two advocates today, this is my submission :
    SEM 70% EFCC 10%
    We saw GOD’S FINGERS in all that happened. You couldn’t have been here without being proud of the SEM ‘s Lead Counsel .Better still, you will readily observe that God was behind and is behind us.
    -The case lasted for 1hour 45minutes; the longest of all today’s cases.
    *The SEM ‘s Lead Counsel submitted that the SEM is under pressure as her name is being painted in bad light by the applicants. Hence, she wants to disburse on time*
    -The judge submitted that she pitied the applicants who overwhelmingly attended the court hearing.
    -For the sake of praying a
    specific prayer, I went to the extent of getting the name of the judge. So, you may wish to commit her heart into GOD’S HANDS. Her name is *Justice C. N. Orji*
    -The judge, both by body language and actions, showed today that she would prepare to deliver her judgement on Friday, June 28,2019.
    *Pray that God will help her to keep to her decision. Pray that there will be no any spiritual, political, legal, administrative, etc. manipulations that will make the case to be settled in favour of the EFCC*
    While it is clear from all the presentations, arguments, counter arguments, adumbrations, etc. that transpired today, the case should have been judged in favour of the SEM (Social Exchange Market), we shall do well by praying as if we have not prayed before on the matter for God to favour us.

  15. Goodday my people,we all heard the outcome of the conference, Donald is now declare wanted when we purchased form he was around but now to disburse nowhere to be found ,scammers everywhere even in the house of GOD,as many that are involved if you dont disburse it you cannot make good thing out of it because it is an ark of GOD.

  16. THE @FACT THERE WAS A PRESS CONFERENCE BUT IT WAS PURELY DONE BY THE NCS WHO ASKED THE SECURITY AGENCIES TO BRING DONALD TO BOOK. THAT PEOPLE HAVE STARTED THREATENING THEM WITH DEAD THREATS. THAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT THEY NC HAVE BEEN GIVEN MONEY. WHICH ACCORDING TO THEM IS NOT TRUE. THE PRESS CONFERENCE WAS NOT ABOUT WHEN DISBURSEMENT WILL BE DONE. TO ME THE NCS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO DONALD. MY WORRIES ARE THIS IF THE NC ARE ASKING SECURITY AGENCIES TO BRING DONALD TO BOOK, WHO ORDERED THE SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTRATION THAT IS STILL ONGOING? AS WE SPEAK PEOPLE ARE STILL REGISTERING OUTLETS IN AKWA IBOM STATE. NIGERIA IS A TERRIBLE PLACE. GOD DEY

  17. I AM TOLD THE PRESS CONFERENCE WAS ORGANIZED BY TELEPCON TO REQUEST THE THE SECURITIES TO LOOK FOR DONALD & ARREST HIM. THIS TO ME MEANS DONALD IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. YAWA DON GAS

  18. Eben thanks for the update.What is the outcome of the conference of today, kindly inform the house, we are waiting to hear from you

  19. @Eben,@Omatayi,@Daniel@Austin@Adeniyi etc big thanks for the update that you have supplied, for tomorrow conference pls let the house know the outcome on this platform.IT IS WELL.THANKS

  20. *Small Update*
    *Donald tenure is meant to end next month June even though he wishes to continue*
    He will ensure disbursement b4 his tenure end.
    *We all know a lot of Prominent men in the society are fully involved, if you don’t know any,u Know Papa Adeboye is fully involved*
    The disbursement committee has been set up.
    That d money will go to outlets to beneficiaries
    That d court case and sealing of SEM office happened as a result of some money found in Donald’s account which efcc traced and finally linked to SEM which of course Donald is the d Country director.
    And so many things which I cannot put it down but from this source that these and many more *will be made public on 14th during d press conference*
    The disbursement will come as a surprise.
    *We are closer than we can Imagine.
    #Copied#

  21. Mr Miracle thanks for the word of encouragement,let those parties concern do the right thing before may 20th, Donald and his people should repent from their wickedness.May GOD help us.

  22. @ the fact
    *Let’s be calm
    *our lives dose not depend on this grant
    * in this our Nigeria there some group of people who dose not want blessings for the masses but God pass them
    *everyone has made one commitment or the other
    *if grant did not come as expected then GOD will Grant us
    *peace one House
    There is MIRACLES for all of us Thanks

    1. Nation builder CM network came to mushin to sell forms for everyone at the rate of #500 and we we were told to attend a seminar and we paid #5800 for certificate since last year June. Till date we haven’t heard from them. Most of all the old women in the market paid and now we are waiting to get the grant. Pls help us, even if they won’t have us the grant, they should return back our money.

  23. Since another sitting is coming up may 20th,l will implore all parties involve to settle out of court,so that their good name can be redeemed and they should not allow anything that would cause adjournment again some people have lost interest in this programme.Thanks

  24. @ The fact,
    You have been very very reckless in your comments over the time right here in this platform. I don’t think if you EVER do realized that you are on a public domain?
    Who is owing you what that you will come out here to called people parents and relatives “stupid and bastard”?
    Do you pay attention to words spoken to you by someone including your very parents?
    If I were the admin of this platform……no time to be waisted I will block you out of here.
    If you were to be in the shoe of that very judge, will you be able to do otherwise when you are bereaved?
    Try to have respect for yourself and to others

  25. The judge is a civil servant and can take permission to attend pressing needs.but the issue is that the court case is not problem of sem.the issue is that sem made a promise they can’t keep.I believe that they are yet to receive fund but maybe the were promised and they started levying people. CBN cannot disburse NGO fund.it has never happened any where in the world.if the donors want govt they would have done so.I believe that sem is economical with the truth.they have no fund to share for now.they may still get the fund if they perfect their plans.they may have concrete promise of fund from donors but they have not gotten it.there is no way they will sit on donors money.in fact no donor will even give that kind of chance.the fact is that they used us.our only prayer now that they should not sideline us when their ship comes in.

  26. GOOD DAY WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE. COURT DID NOT SIT B/C ACCORDING TO THE COURT CLERK THE JUDGE LOST A RELATIVE. CASE TO COME UP ON 20TH MAY 2019. THIS IS NIGERIA. ONLY GOD

  27. InnoSEM agent, thief, saboteur, enemy Of The masses, usurper and fraudster… The spirit of poor Nigerians will never make you know peace!!!! I oleeee!!

  28. Please folks stop fighting .we can channel all our energy towards sem.if we continue like this the people holding us to ransom be it fg or sem will win.if we join our energy we could do better.I am calling on every body to sheath your sword and face our common enemy. The fact please stop direct attack on your fellow beneficiaries. No matter how you feel please.let’s reason a way out of the Quagmire.

  29. The truth no need to continue talking to u because u have proven to be a complete moron with CAPITAL Letter of idiocracy running through ur vein that has left no form of human blood and reasoning
    You can go and commit suicide because will be scam for life in anything u ventured into, this is just the beginning because even wen d grant finally comes u will watch others collect theirs but it will never get to you. Full stop.

  30. U are obviousy a product of mistake pregnancy otherwise known as born bastard that is why you behave d way u do, because u never received any form of home training and as such lack manners/conscience, but d worse part of it all is that u are not ready to learn, therefore u will perish in ignorant.

  31. The fact you have baptized from the truth to come back here and talk rubbish after all ur blablabla of a scam, don’t u have any iota of shame or conscience ? Better go back to ur hiding place and never ever come back here to talk trash

  32. I can bet 1million naira that come may 2nd,case will be adjourned indefinitely and that would be the end of it all.. Then everyone’s eyes go clear

    1. @Admin

      Is there a away messages are pruned or edited before coming to the public domain? If yes, it is high time it is activated.

      Is it possible possible that someone could be removed or blocked from commenting on this platform? If yes, it pertinent that the mechanism is fully deployed before it becomes too late and unmanageable.

      Thank you

  33. @ The fact / the truth, You have already concluded in yourself that it is a scam. What info do you need again ??? I am surprise to see you here commenting on what you believe scam. If i were you, i would have left here.

    Soji has replied you. if you have time on may 2nd, 2019, you are free to attend hearing betw SEM and EFCC at Abuja. Some people have prepared to go on that day.

    Thanks and God bless.

  34. @ Soji, What i and Austin have done wrong to you?? Why did you make this statement “”” calling urself xtian it is painful,all unrighteousness is a sin,”””” Are we the one delaying the SEM grant ???? Please, what do you mean by your statement ?? Please, be mindful of your statement.

    If you want to know people delaying grant you are free to attend court in Abuja on may 2, 2019. I and Austin are masses like you expecting the SEM grant.

    Thanks and God bless.

  35. @ Mike, If that is the vision you see or others people vision or what they see or heard . It shall not come to pass by the grace of God. The grant is for we masses, not govt. By the power of God, the case will be settled amicably.

    Thanks and God bless

  36. The court case will be adjourned again to june or july. Watch and see. This grant is in the hands of fg now and that is the way it will go for years. What can you do about it?

  37. Big thanks to everybody in the house, pls and pls if u dont have any real information for us do not say it,people like Adeniyi ,Austin calling urself xtian it is painful,all unrighteousness is a sin,this time we are so despirate to get our grant,how do u know that this case will not be adjourned again after may 2,let us be in unity to get ourselves out from this big mess that we find ourselves.May GOD help us.

  38. Adeniyi I was believing that you are like Austin who has gone out of his way to make sure people benefit from this troubled grant.some of us has really sacrificed to make sure that people who are not able to key in keyed in.so don’t judge me you have no such right.

  39. Adeniyi i didnt spent 3000.if I had even spent 50000.i will not be here worrying.I have spent over half a million in this project plus the time and energy. You should now know why it is paining me.so don’t say what you don’t know.

  40. @ Paul, If you think you have been duped because of seen delay. I hope what they duped you is not more than N3,000. ??? I wish you best of luck in all your future doings.

    For those that still believe on it, Lets keep our hope alive that this grant will surely come out whether devil like it or not. with our two hands, we shall collect it, no-one shall die, as we are busy with our daily works .

    It is well with our soul.

  41. There are so much lies and fake news surrounding the grant.the only thing we beneficiaries can do is to protest even if it is outside the court on may 2nd.if we can mobilize people to go to that court.the court can be filled and the surrounding filled to the brim.after the session we start our protests .we want efcc to open sem office a nd unfreeze its account.

  42. Austin that’s a good development. But they would have used bvn.nigeria cannot provide 10 thousand official to disburse 5b USD.also these officials can easily be bought. Thanks anyway is a positive development. Some ngos and outlets can be dubious.

  43. *Latest updates::::* Every outlet will be assigned an Efcc official and DSS so as to monitor the fraud free disbursement… If you’re here and your outlet’s beneficiaries are fake and you thought you can just disburse the way you like…it is seriously impossible with the latest info coming out from yesterday meeting held between all parties concerned….

    And again… Since yesterday…..SEM through NGOs are demanding for Hardcopy of database from some outlets while some only need to send the outlet’s name,address etc…and deadline is Friday this week….some underground moves is ongoing… Even the Donors are yet to leave Nigeria… They are still much around… I meant their Representatives…
    COPIED

  44. I never trusted that Donald of a man.when somebody decides to go secret something is wrong.he wanted to push away the ncs and now claims he fell in love with outlets.if this info from bako is correct then it means he deliberately ran down the ncs before the donors because the ncs knew what he knows. He knew that ncs were collecting money and they were giving him his shares and when he discovered that by the structure ncs will be richer than him he changed the game.he knew that beneficiaries and ncs will fallout,and he ran away using efcc as a cover .he fixed the money to be very rich.if the donors sent 5b USD as was claimed and he fixes it.he is in leave with fg,efcc and CBN .efcc is league with him that why they never arrested him for once.he will not share this money this month.he may share around July or august if he want to share. He is worse than govt.many grants that came via world bank through govt has all been shared.Donald is truely a demon if what bako posted is correct. One is certain he never have peace until he give people their money.

  45. SEM GRANT UPDATE*
    ?Crucial and series of Meeting on Settlement of Case Out of Court is ongoing among some high profile Dignitaries in the country, Dr. Donald (SEM CEO), The Donors (i.e. Representatives) and the EFCC / CBN. We are waiting for the outcome.

    ?The SEM Office at No 12 Dan Suleiman, Utako in Abuja is still under the EFCC lock But SEM is presently operating in another confidential Office in Abuja. Although known by most NCs. Probably until the case is officially out of the Court.
    ?Finally, the court outing on the 16th of April will clear a lot of our doubts.
    ?It has been really confirmed that the SEM Money is in the Country for Disbursement from a reliable source in CBN as we are also told that some CBN Directors own some outlets and are also involved in the SEM Grant Programme…
    ?So there is no cause for alarm. Let’s continue to be prayerful as we wait for the official declaration of settlement out of court on 16th of April, 2019… After that, hopefully there will be one week Training on Disbursement for all NCs, and PDs in Abuja. Then, The full blown Grant Disbursement will commence in phases from April till June, 2019…
    ?There is an open opportunity for those who did not partake in the first batch to join few slots in the second batch.
    ?So lets be calm because The whole process will surely end in Praise and Thanksgiving.
    Thanks and God Bless..??

  46. hmm…. disbursement… an elusive word… ever since like 3years now… when they were collecting monies for form, it was easy… when they raked people money for passport, clearance, file paper and all shit,it was easy… but when it came to the most important part, they started suing themselves, holding endless meetings, and people posting fake updates and deceiving Nigerians… they will all suffer… it shall not be well with them

  47. PLS LET THOSE IN ABUJA FIND OUT ON MONDAY IF SEM OFFICE IS OPENED FOR BUSINESS. @INNO, AK & OTHERS. OPENING OF THE OFFICE IS KEY TO DISBURSEMENT. TNX

  48. Daniel and Paul u are saying the right thing but for Austin and ola where do they get their information,we want action this time, Donald should come out from hidden place and stop wasting beneficiaries time,let us call a spade a spade,we would give account.

  49. My brother dan you said it all .Donald is not dumb and sem is still existing why are they silent.if they are serious they should talk to us.this silence connotes a lot of things. 1 that they not ready to disburse 2 that they are no longer sure of the grant.3 that they are playing on us.4 that they never had the intention of sharing the money that they used us for their selfish goals.my own is that sem should speak we are tired honestly we are .

  50. Oni and Austin how do u know that this grant is real ?.Those that are involve do not think of commoners.We need divine intervention.Because we are tired of this fallacy.They should do something this month.There is GOD O O O

  51. Thanks @inno for the update. Alot of people have been sending wrongh information in respect to disbursement please be very cafeful

  52. Nothing to believe for they same type of stories like that of last, my contact person at Abuja still reports that d office is still under lock and key.
    Not untill we see a remarkably activities going on with respect to disbursement nobody should believe anything.
    Remember how they deceived us to believe that Sem/Donald have settle with Efcc before the court date of 26th that exposed nothing of such had ever happened

  53. Austin I have always believed in you.but sem has been elusive. Donald will promise and do a different thing because of forces around him.i cant trust him.unless I see something. I m very grateful for your efforts you just an angel.

  54. @Paul, coooool down bros. SEM is pregnant with our grant & at the point of delivery. Let us pray for safe delivery. Both SEM & its baby (grant) should be alive for the beneficiaries to enjoy both. Now that the court has exposed the grant. Our victory is sure come 16th April 2019. I am celebrating in advance. SHALOM.

  55. If sem office is open,they should do the right thing on time, since beneficiaries are having bias mind toward this grant,day in day out this year is going,for farmer this is farming season because if farmers fail to plant at normal time there will be no good harvest.Pls if there is no grant let us know.For the past 3 years for God sake?

  56. [4/1, 11:18 AM] Barister Donald actually held a meeting with some key individual that led him to communicate VP, VP then summon Donald and Magu. This is where the settlement was fast track ,the office is opened also, 16th of April is just to withdraw the Case .God has done it.
    *Copied from the Grant telegram*

  57. @ Austin, I have confirmed your update, you are correct. Kindly leave ” The truth that changed to The fact alone ” I tell you he will soon carry all his curses he made on this forum, unless, if he does not collect this coming grant. Thanks

  58. he who lies on this forum will never beget a prosperous generation.. Austin be careful not to share in this curse

    1. @the fact(Balaam). Austin is a spiritual Israelite & no Balaam can curse him. Anyone that curses me is cursed & anyone that blesses me is blessed. Shalom

  59. Donald is truly a good man surrounded by evil forces. He has invited representative of the foreign donors with the VP on Monday.
    This meeting is believed to be the final meeting as the donors have given a 72hr ultimatum to FG to allow disbursement or risk it returned.
    To this effect, disbursement will commence second week with all NGOs being given a maximum of 1 week to organise trainings for PDs after which disbursement will start with immediate effect and concluded in June.
    Let’s start praising God peeps!!! It will end in praise??‍♂??‍♂??‍♂??‍♂??‍♂????????????COPIED.

    1. @Austin, thanks for whatever effort that you are putting in right here sir
      But then I don’t know the sources where you are getting these information from and how credible those sources are?
      Less we did be careful to what we read and share to avoid getting the populace high.
      Please my candid opinion sir.

  60. THE TRUTH U HAVE MIGRATED TO THE FACT. WHAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH? AT LEAST IT IS ESTABLISED THAT THE GRANT IS REAL. THERE IS NO WAY SEM WILL SUE EFCC & JOIN ACCOUNTANT GEN & ATTORNEY GEN IF THERE WAS NO MONEY. I KNOW DONALD IS UNDER PRESSURE TO DISBURSE. GODSWILL SHALL DEFINITEY BE DONE IN JESUS NAME AMEN

  61. @ frank and mike, No weapon formed against me shall prosper. please, dont cause trouble online here. i can see you need this grant too urgently, the grant will fly into your hands without process
    it is better both of you face your daily work or collect your reg fee back where both of you registered if you cant wait, as some of people like you do. Thanks

    it is well.

  62. Frankfine, Honestly you made me laugh, you can even call me Bar donald or NC, i need this grant than everybody here. ( If this case is yours, you will know how you will judge it ) I only said my own words for situation of things on ground known to everyone on court case. You are free to do whatever you like on your warming up. some people like you have collected their reg fee back, u feel free to contact your n/c for refund, if you cant wait. this is very simple. For me, the grant is real and it will surely be paid very soon with patience. You may say is not real, that is yours. Thanks my brother.

    Lets everyone continue to face our daily job we do before this grant came. Thanks

  63. @ Adeniyi it is quiet unfortunate that you as a person is openly supporting SEM and you are one of them or their agent by coming to this platform to deceive some poeple as if you are one of us. Kindly do not Douse the tension which has gone beyond control. Tell your people to disburse this grant before It is too late for the open show to commence which may not be good for their status.

  64. All this information are frame up. These organizations taking each other to court are all government bodies and are well co -operated and co -ordinated to participate in this lingering drama that put as many of us in a situation which one can literarily call “One chance or Fools paradise”. I have said it before since last year, and permit me to say it again that this program is no way affiliated to any foreign investor. It is purely politician’s idea. We all know that they are fantastic liers and are known for manipulating the masses with sugar coated promises. I will advise that you should all learn to think and grow rich by now. Someone could have had his breakthrough by alternative means since 3yrs ago that we have all been in this night vigil and hitherto far from daylight. Hmmmm… Remember that no matter how far you travel in the wrong way, can never make it right at the end. Folks please make a swift U- turn before its too late. Truth is bitter, and its like a hard pill to swallow. May God bless someone who read this.

  65. @ Paul, Over 100+, beneficiaries have collected their reg fee back in some states known to me, and they signed undertaking that anytime grant come, they have no right to collect it. You too can do so and forget about it. Patience is the key to this grant. I can boldly tell you, this grant is real, if u dont believe it, everyone free to collect their money back.

  66. @ Austin, TELPECOM ( registered with CAC ) is an association of nc / Ngo CEO. ( n/c or ceo of ngo are the same people ) SEM is the donor bearer of grant from oversea, n/c or ceo get grant from SEM. TELPECOM can still source another grant herself from any where in the world. TELPECOM has no grant to give beneficiaries than to get it from SEM and another source in the world. The grant we are all expecting now is sem grant through TELPECOM . I and you may also have our own ngo and register with TELPECOM only if we wish. Thanks

  67. Just a brief recap pls.
    1. the case is SEM Vs Ibrahim Magu & others.
    Others here is Accountant General office .
    2. Counsels from SEM & EFCC were presented. While non from Accountant General’s office.
    3. SEM seeked for settlement out of court while EFCC insisted for hearing since SEM is the Applicant.
    4. While his Lordship was going through the motion, she observed that both letters of motion were not duly signed especially the one from EFCC.
    she insisted not to strike out the case till all signings are duly done and as well SEM COUNSEL to also serve the Accountant General’s office notice too.
    5. However the court wanted to give them time till June when the SEM counsel quickly objected to that by saying that the office premises of his client has been under lock and key by EFCC since October 2018…thereby asking for a nearer date to be given.
    He then suggested 16th April.
    And was granted by his Lordship.
    6. And it was also submitted that both parties could still settle out of court before the dates.
    7. On this the SEM counsel addressed us outside

  68. Beneficiaries are gradually forgetting about the grant.that is the game of sem/ncs .they will keep coming up with one news or the other and keep giving people hope.justice delayed is justice denied. Promise is a debt.and for the ncs we don’t need your association. If by the end of April when don’t see any grant better keep our money Ready.let it be a on us should we keep quiet and let you people get away with such huge fraud.because now that CBN is involved from the backyard. We will be hearing CBN this and CBN that all this year.my people if this people fail by easter we will at least let the world know what happened in Nigeria championed by the very men that preach the gospel.

  69. LET THE NCS MAKE SEM TO DISBURSE THEIR GRANT WHICH BEGAN OVER 3 YRS NOW. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESFUL IN THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT, & NOW LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GRANT. THE WHOLE THING IS LIKE A CHILD’S PLAY.

  70. SEM is now one of the donors of the NCs (now TELPECOM) .SEM does not attend the meetings of the NCs. SEM program is now different from NCs program. Does the Outlets now belong to SEM or NCs(now TELPECON) ?. Is SEM & TELPECON now competing for grant. ? Are we expecting grants from both? . TIME WILL TELL. @ Omatayi,Adeniyi,Eben,Frankfine & others(with positive mindset) must speak now . (SHALOM)

  71. It is obvious that ncs has really taken us for a ride .the whole charade is going to be fg project. We all know how government programs end in Nigeria.from all indication sem and ncs is playing is playing a high game.God help us.what about the huge sum of money ncs used to register outlets.who is going to pay for it.

  72. The great Eben welcome.thank God for everything we really miss you guys.thanks for the current update. But we are no longer interested in what the national coordinators are doing if they like they can form association of tiper drivers.they the people that put us in this messs.we are interested I’m when mr d is bringing the money period and the ncs should pray that this time mr d pays otherwise the monkey and baboon will soak in blood.I great all directors and beneficiaries welcome to post election era.I don’t want to hear after easter.

  73. @ Austin, Thank you very much for this quick update given to us and those of us that keep us alive on this grant. It will be well with our soul, non of us shall die before and after disbursement.

    And for even thomases, i do not blame them, may every beneficiary be successful on it. Thanks to u all.

    1. Which one is CBN involvement again ? SEM has requested NGOs for their bank details soon after the court case on 26th March.
      The idea is that sem will disburse to the NGOs and the NGOs will do same to the outlets. Where is CBN coming in now.
      Does it mean that Donald has handed over the grant to the federal government?
      @Austin this your update is radically different from all the other ones that I have seen recently
      Kindly throw more light pls

  74. 03/21/19 For me to be fully informed…. Currently I am in Abuja owing to some reasons as regards this grant….kindly bear with me in a matter of days now….immeasurable joy will be ours

    [3/20, 20:44] : UCR have been handed over to CBN by Donald himself, SEM staffs undergoing serious training on massive disbursement management

    [3/20, 20:46] : Ten days are to be used by each outlet to disburse the grant generally to her 1000(+)beneficiaries

    [3/20, 20:50] : Oncoming Meeting of 23rd between Donald and NCs will be centered on two things::::: Non interest on the court case again, warning the NGOs to warn the outlets not to create uproar when the massive disbursement kick off in spite that disbursement is ongoing underground

    [3/20, 20:54] : As from next week…. things will be looking bright… But SEM would be discrete about it….they won’t make noise about the disbursement….. Shalom

    [3/20, 21:03] : Once the PDS get the money directly from SEM…after the money is matured…. Outlet must give 100 beneficiaries their grants per day totaled 10 days
    [3/21, 07:55] Admin: OUR NATIONAL COORDINATORS SHALL BE MEETING WITH BARRISTER DONALD THE HEAD OF SOCIAL EXCHANGE MARKET ON 26TH OF MARCH, 2019 FOR FURTHER PREPARATION AND BRIEFING.

    Remain prayerful so that God will accomplish the work that he started about this grant.

    We pray that the outcome of this proposed meeting shall bring joy to the land. Amen

  76. Ashton Asogbon Emmanuel

    Globaltech collected #2,800 from beneficiaries for registration and since early 2018 , nothing was done not even an update for beneficiaries the worst they could do is to be telling the poor entrepreneurs to come and invest into their dubiouse cooperative society.

    There is God 00000 !….

  77. u people are building beneficiaries hope again by saying disbursement is ds match, 2019. is dis an official date from sem?

  79. *I watched a local football match at a school playing ground. As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was.*

    *With a smile, he replied; “They are leading us 3-0″!*

    *And I said, REALLY!!*

    *I have to say you don’t look discouraged*.

    *”Discouraged?” the boy asked with a puzzled look …*

    *Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle?*

    *I have confidence in the team and the managers; We shall definitely overcome!*

    *Truly, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy’s team!*

    *He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left; I was amazed, mouth wide open; Such confidence; Such beautiful faith;*

    *As I got back home that night, his question kept coming back to me:*
    *”Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle?”*

    *Life is like a game*.

    *Why should you be discouraged when The Almighty God is your Manager? Why should you be discouraged, when there’s still life? Why should you be discouraged when your final whistle has not sounded? The truth is that many people blow the final whistle themselves;*

    *But as long as there is life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for you.*

    *Half time is not full time and HIS calendar for your life is not man’s calendar.*

    *Don’t blow the whistle yourself.*

    *BE ENCOURAGED! DON’T GIVE UP.*

  80. Good morning Dear Coordinators and members.
    We thank God for everything.
    May His Name Alone Be Glorified.

    Attention :
    This is to inform everyone of us in Bethany under SEM Grant to bẹ careful of a new registration form link to social exchange market website.
    The form requires all the details of the grant applicant which includes account numbers, bank name and other personal details that can enable fraud against the applicant.
    We can say authoritatively that it was not from SEM and has nothing to do with SEM Grant.

    We warn all our members not to be carried away with disbursement bait and become victims of another wicked plan to frustrate and confuse this programme .
    Also, this may lead to financial fraud against our members.
    You are warned.

    Let us keep praying along with Barr. Donald Olorunkeyede Adedayo for unusual grace upon him to commence the disbursement plan and processing by the end of this month as promised. He needs our prayer more than ever.

    God bless you
    Best regards
    Executive Director
    Pls spread among our members.

  81. I CALLED PRECIOUS (DONALD P. A.) TODAY AGAIN & TOLD HER I AM AN OUTLET C/MAN (WHICH I’M NOT) THAT I DON’T HAVE ANY INFO FOR MY BENEFICIARIES WHO ARE ON MY NECK. SHE TOLD ME THAT INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAT DISBURSEMENT COMMENCE MARCH ENDING. WE SHOULD ALL PRAY THAT SEM/DONALD KEEP TO THE MARCH ENDING DATELINE

  82. Please, Frankfine and other beneficiaries still waiting for this grant should for the sake of their healths look for other means to raise money for their businesses or ventures because their is no money anywhere and SEM is scam!.. Please, learn from Dtruth who has accepted the bitter truth about this whole sem thing.. Nemesis must surely catch up with every man and woman involved in this scam..

    1. One day one news, today meeting tomorrow another cock and bull story all in other to dous the tension created about the so called grant.thank God the elections are over, lets see how another postment of disbursement will emerge.We are getting tired of all this stories EFCC VS SEM.Somebody should advise Bar Donald and his team to quicking up with disbursement before it gets out of control of peoples anger unleashing mayhem and curses on them for defrauding innocent Nigerians with national co- ordinators and outlet chairmen. God is watching and will definitely fight this Battle and we shall hold our peace.

  83. The questions you will ask your self is, is there any plan protest before now?, or people are just typing and posting the protest issue just to pull the leg of Donald and SEM,

  84. I want to use this opportunity to thank all the people that have worked hard to encourage and give us update. People like ak,adeniyi,eben,inno,Daniel,mike,law,Austin and a host of other beautiful people that have sacrificed time and money to keep the candle burning all these while I say a big thank you.it time we fight if we are men.the planned protest must go on no matter what.please all the players in the house do the needful in mobilizing for the protest because it is our only option. God bless us all and make the people toying with our destiny have a change of heart.

  85. One thing about lies is that you always need another to cover the old one until you run out of lies because 2yrs is a lot of time you will end repeating the previous without know that your victim is keep records.that exactly what played out in this grant issue. Ncs were lieing sem was lieing now time has ran out.if they have held down their greed and made sure that they had the money before collecting money from beneficiaries they would not be in this hot spot.what every body want to see is the money nothing more.The house of God has been beiseged by the devil using men of God on the guise as ncs .this made me to remember the play we used to do when we were children that we call round round round fire is on the mountain run round and round.this is the way the cookie crumbles. The only alternative is this nation wide protest.

  86. @Frankfine;I foresee a nationwide demonstration if SEM fails to explain their absence at the court today within the next 7 days.To show how despirate beneficiaries were, pictures of the court premises & that of the sitting female Judge is in circulation.I hope SEM will be able to manage the situation with their unending silence.Today’s court sitting has opened more eyes to the reality of the Grant, but SEM absence has demonstrated poor management & insensitivity.————Shalom

  87. @AUSTIN and ADENIYI. When exactly will all these speculations be over.if not for court it is out of court, SEM has been using tactics buying time to dous the tension it has created already for lack of trust and unreliability. Could they justify the confidence repose on them by the teeming beneficiaries which absolutely they have failed woefully by disbursing these Grant which only exist in the abstract realm.Their is no single hope that SEM will disburse the money, all their interest is in giving fictitious and malicious information but God is still alive and sitting tightly on his throne.Time shall tell.

  88. @Austin, you think, they settled out of court and waited till today? If they have they will be in court today to inform the court of their settlement or on their process of settlement, before the case will be adjourned for a report of settlement. However since you’re not sure, let’s not speculate.

  89. Just learnt that both parties did not show up in the Court when the case was mentioned
    Case consequently adjourned to 23rd March 2019 for hearing
    Could it be that both parties have agreed to an out of Court settlement ?
    Too many intrigues. Na waooo

  90. Since we are all waiting for SEM court case. Can people living in Abuja pls confirm this yesterday *Small update*

    We are soliciting for prayer on tomorrow court sitting, Social Exchange Market (SEM) vs EFCC. “Title: Is It Bad To Do Good ” SEM is praying court to ask EFCC to hands off and allow him give Nigerian the grant he brought for them. That court should not adjourn the case. If they It will be after election

    If you are in Abuja and wants to witness SEM case VS EFCC, find your way to Court 16 APPO, Abuja around 8am to 9am tomorrow. Copied

  91. Dear all,
    I really thank our people that give update here whether true or false, non of us were there when things happened. Bar donald was not in the meeting and not invited.

    The current update on SEM grant is mainly on EFCC and SEM, we all thought the case has been settled, but not. They are still on it. Some people have said it, but just to buttress it. It is the SEM that dragged EFCC to court on sealed off office. Why this happen ? Some people complaint to efcc that SEM activities is scam, that brought them to seal sem office for investigation.

    It is either you take it or leave this update i heard. Lets continue to pray for SEM to win the case bcs of we masses. Thanks

  92. NOW IT’S COURT CASE & NOT VP OSIBANJO. IS THERE REALY A COURT CASE? THE LATEST UPDATE IS NOT ON SEM WEBSITE EVEN THOUGH THEY LIFTED THE DEAD PHONE NOS ON SEM WEBSITE. TO ME THESE ARE SIGNS THAT SEM HAS FAILED.

  93. @EBEN WHY WHY WHY. WHERE & WHEN WAS THIS MEETING THAT DONALD SENT A COMMUNIQUE TO HELD? CAN U PLS SCAN A COPY OF THE ALLEGED COMMUNIQUE FOR ALL TO SEE? EVEN AFTER READING @AUSTIN POST ON THE MEETING OF NCS U STILL SENT THIS FAKE UPDATES. THIS WILL BRING INSULTS, ABUSES & CURSES. FOR THOSE THAT SAYS SEM HAS COURT CASES THE QUESTIONS TO ASK ARE 1. WHY HAVING THE CASES NOW? 2.WHO ARE THE PARTIES IN THE SUIT. 3 WHAT ARE THE SUITE NUMBERS. 4. IN WHICH COURT(S) ARE THE SUITS 5. WHAT IS THE DATE OF HEARING FOR I WILL WANT TO TRAVEL TO ABJ TO HEAR THE MATTER. LET NCS/SEM/DONALD SUPPLY THE INFO ELSE THEY ARE BUYING TIME & NEMESIS WILL SOON CATCH UP WITH THEM & THEIR AGENTS HERE & IN OTHER PLATFORMS

  94. @ Eben where exactly did you get this your update again? Why are people so wicked by keeping high hope on people. Mind you, Sem is no longer happy with all these fake updates flying up and down. How can they give disbursement date when SEM and Donald has more that one court case in court which the 1st hearing will commence by ending of this Month.
    House, pls disregard any update apart from the one from the National Secretary which @ Austin has given to you already.

  95. Joseph businesses are not done that way.yes sem has an agreement with us which they are already breaching. They said 2weeks after the collection of certificate and now it over a year.yes they are owing us and if they try refund we sue them to limbo.joe seem cannot try it.they only thing they are doing is hiding under ncs.both soon Nigerians will bust the bubble. By Feb 1/2/2019.men will be making history.sem has really toyed with Nigerians and from what dan said people are starting to push back.Donald will not only refund but pay damages

  96. I stand with you Daniel. You will be patient with somebody when he opens to you and tell the person the truth.sem and ncs thought us to be fools but I’m happy some Nigerians are already answering the clarion call.let all of us join the protest.duping the masses is a cardinal sin.if it in China these ncs and sem would be hanging by now.

  97. Who told you guys that Donald was not at yesterday meeting with the NC. He was there life and direct . Don’t bother asking me how i knew. Just as @ Austin has said, let’s wait for an update from the National Secretary. Any other update now is fake.

  98. Joseph the last people saw Donald was march last year.when he initiated signing of ucr.then Donald went of the radar.then he shared stipends to people in his church in Abuja that was all.from they certificate the banks were given they were told to present the certificate after two weeks.up till now no information. Yet everybody kept calm.if it were govt people would demonstrated. We must rise and say no to this absurdities. We must ask questions. Let people come out and ask questions sem must answer. They gave people certificate. We need answers now.if there no money they should tell us.please for God and for humanity we have to ask questions and the only way is through demonstrations.

  99. If this grant is from UN as someone claims. How come UN hasn’t made a comment on it. How come no available online link concerning this grant and its origin. Donald is a pseudonym of the agglomeration of multipurpose cooperative societies perpetuating this fraud and they have their syndicates all over the place sharing fake updates of which some are here. I will see how over a whooping 60trillion naira will be disbursed for first batch in this country. Keep dreaming…

  101. @Daniel; If you put your money on fixed deposit, it is like the money you don’t have until the end of the fixed period. No matter what happens, you cannot have access to the money until the end of the fixed period. The details of how & why the money was fixed is available but cannot be put on this platform bcos of the volume of the content. On the donor, it is part of United Nations bottom up project for the eradication of poverty by the year 2030.Other African countries will also benefit and they are hoping to learn from Nigeria when it comes to their turn. Our prayer is that the grant will be profitably invested by all beneficiaries when received.————-Shalom

  102. N100trillion, (a whooping $300billion) to be shared as grant. Open your eyes my people. That figure is unrealistic. I fell for this aswell but more enlightened now.

  103. To all those who say “this grant is real”!Show me one evidence that this grant is real and I’ll show you 20 proofs that even your evidence is and the grant is all scam.
    My first point
    If each bank gets 10billion Naira according to SEM, and SEM wants to empower people in tune of 10,000 banks. When you do that multiplication that is a whooping 100Trillion Naira.
    Now my question. Is there 100Trillion ($300billion) as at today in Nigeria?
    Looks like the figure has blinded even the greedy eyes of some so called clergy men involved in this grant that they can no longer see vision of this big scam.
    When this bubble finally pops, it will be known that our clergy men has lost focus of their primary assingment.

  104. You guys keep saying time will tell, same story we have been hearing for 2 years now, before anyone of you will claim it is true can you Google the name Donald Olorunkeyede and see if you can see any picture of him, I am begininig to sense the name is even fictitious, tell me why his picture is not on Google ( before you argue with me Google your name and see if you will not appear) and that explains why he is never present at any meeting cos there is nobody by that name, the name was just forged to perpetrate this evil

    This below is coiled from THE NATION

    Recruits foot-soldiers from front-line churches, NGOs, cooperative societies, etc, across the country
    • Deploys social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, whazapp as major channels of communication
    • EFCC, other law enforcement agencies on the trail of alleged mastermind, Donald Olorunkeyede
    • Members of the syndicates already in police custody
    • Victims count losses, many dead from shock and debts

    TheNation’s reporters, in this special investigative report, expose the intrigues and underbelly of a new ponzi scheme allegedly operating under the Social Exchange Market (SEM), a so-called nonprofit, nongovernmental organisation which has fleeced unsuspecting Nigerians of over N55 billion under the guise of securing over $500 billion interest-free credit from fictitious donor-agencies abroad with the sole objective of lifting over 36 million Nigerians out of poverty.

    Let who that is wise listen and listen to the voice of wisdom, this point to the fact that anytime truth is been posted on this page admin always rush to delete it cos they are working together, they have their syndicates everywhere spreading fake updates.

  105. What I understood from the whole of this sem saga is that Donald erred from the onset.I believe he had a plan in the beginning. But the ncs and NGOs messed it up from the beginning.They saw it as an opportunity to extort the masses and bank directors. They ncs connived with seem and used some part of the money to set up sem.Donald had a long term plan of maybe using the data to solicit fun from philanthropist around the to raise money and share to the poor.but it is a long time project. Unfortunately the ncs frustrated the move by their greed and fed the masses rubbish. My own conclusion is that those of us devoted fund and time into this project are the victims.it painful but I don’t know when sem will succeed.all we can do now is to let the world know we have been scammed through protests .may be we can get some of the resources we sunk into this mess.

  106. You guys should relax. Our state coordinator also invited us to a meeting on Friday being 11th of January, 2019. He showed us a text he regarding their invitation to Abuja. As for my NGO, all the State Coordinators are traveling this coming Wednesday. Therefore, Law was right in his update.

    1. Good update, please can you confirm to us if the CEO of your outlets were part of the people invited to Abuja or just the state coordinators.

  107. @Austin and Daniel, do you think nehemiah need not to collect hisown share ? You all know this is non governmental grant, he too took part on it. See the huge amount NGO Ceo would collect. Do u think bar Donald himself will not take his own share ? Make sem settle people they feel and disburse the left over. Money is not enough for a rich man.

    Concern ing grant payment, according to info I heard, it may lead to after election by human, it is only God that can let it be this Jan. Thanks, @ Amazing, it is better u stop coming here for sem update, if u think we are liars. Leave the group of liers. The man that called himself the truth did than u, he is no more to be found here again. Thanks.

    @ admin, stop depleting our post. My own post deleted too. Thanks

  108. @Daniel; Barr Donald has been enjoying the fixed deposit on this grant for the past 2 yrs. If he fails to yield to VP pressure then he will not escape a probe. If the master does not eat, the crumbs will not fall from the master’s table——–Shalom.

  109. @AUSTIN I’M IN SUPPORT OF THIS. BUT THE QUESTION TO ASK IS WHAT CORRUPTION IS THE APC GOVT FIGHTING THAT THE VP MUST DEMAND FOR HIS CUT? WHY THE BLIND ACQUISITION OF WEALTH. WHERE IS LATE GEN. SANI ABACHA & ALL THE MONEY HE ACQUIRED? INSTEAD OF THE VP ASSISTING FOR THE GRANT TO BE DISBURRED TO THE DOWN TRODDEN, PHE VP IS BUSY GOING TO MARKETS TO GIVE OUT A PALTRY 5K CALLED TRADERS MONEY. WHEN A CERTAIN COORD MENTIONED THAT DONALD HAS BEEN DODGING FROM THE VP B/C OF HIS (VP) DEMANDS, I DID NOT BELIEVE. BUT NOW I KNOW IT’S TRUE. ONE THING I KNOW & WHICH IS SURE & CERTAIN IS THAT THERE IS GOD WHO RULES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN.

  110. @ Paul; The details I sent to you reveals that Barr Donald need to meet VP conditions if he must disburse b/4 the elections. Barr.Donald has all it takes to meet the condition. Much pressure is on Barr Donald to submit to VP request so that we can all smile b/4 elections.This grant is real & the money must go round.———–Shalom

  111. I JUST DEY KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED & WATCH WITH WITH ONE CONNER EYE. THE WORDS OF THE FIREMAN @ THE FISHING PORT IS ALWAYS REMEMBERED WHEN THE FISHERMEN COME BACK FROM SEA & THERE IS FIREWOOD TO DRY THE FISH CAUGHT. I FIRST MENTIONED THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD EMBARK ON MASS ACTION TO DRAW ATTENTION TO OUR PLIGHT AS FAR BACK AS JUNE/JULY. MOST PEOPLE ON THIS PLATFORM OPPOSED IT THAT WHEN THAT IS DONE GOVT WILL INTERVENE & IT’S AN NGO ISSUE. IT IS NOW VERY CLEAR THAT GOVT HAS INTERVENED THROUGH EFCC, CBN ETC HAS INTERVENED IN THE PROGRAM. I STILL INSIST THAT GOD HAS DONE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE REST IS FOR US TO DO OUR PART. RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF JOHN THE BABTIST, THE KINGDOM OF GOD SUFFERS VIOLENCE, & THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE. THE TIME FOR US TO ACT IS NOW.

  112. @Amazing, I will advise you stop attacking or laying blames on anybody. Austin is just passing information based on what he heard or copied from other groups. Remember, it was because of this same abusive words that made People to stop giving a privileged information which some people later apologized on behalf of others.
    I advised that you read and pass any update that will be given by anybody. Austin and co are not Barr Donald or SEM to transfer our aggression to.
    I can assure you that most update I got from here, I personally had also heard or read it up from People that you can never doubt their information. My simple advise though.

  113. The most confused element @Austin(Lai Mohammed jnr.) has dropped a hint this year after being donaldo mouth piece last year.

    @Paul; If SEM should speak, Nigerians will over react and it will affect the whole program. Barr. Donald has been speaking but he speaks with mature minds. Barr. Donald believes that something can still happen on or before 31st Dec. 2018.———-Happy Weekend

    What Barr. Donald & VP are doing with this grant has been revealed. The love for money the Bible said is the root of all evils. We shall know them by their fruit ( not church titles). Even after disbursement, the judgement of God that ruleth over the affairs of men still awaits them (SEM,someNCs & some PDs)———SHALOM

  114. THE TIMETABLE IS FAKE. I JUST CALLED MY REGINAL COORDINATOR OF MY NGO TO FIND OUT IF SHE HAS CONTACTED THE NC IN RESPECT OF TIMETABLE ON NET & SHE TOLD ME SHE HAS CALLED THE NC & HE TOLD HER TO IGNORE THE TIMETABLE. IT SURPRISES ME HOW PEOPLE WOULD JUST PREPARE ANY TRASH & POST ON NET. THE NCS HAVE BEEN SETTLED & GONE INTO SILENCE. WHO WILL SPEAK FOR US ORDINARY BENEFICIARIES?

  116. @Emma When is the time table coming out for collection of cheque by chairman and directors for test running of disbursement according to the grouping.

  117. @Emma: Everyone including NCs are equally beneficiaries. They are even the biggest beneficiaries because whether the grant is disbursed or not, they have made their money by exploiting and extorting those you refer to as “beneficiaries”. For SEM office, except if they commenced work there today. This platform is a scam from all indications. Admin you can go ahead and delete my post.

    1. @D1, did u copy this information from a platform or you went to the place to confirm .if it was copied ,please indicate “copied” thanks

  118. What is de authenticity of the post that disbursement has started last year and that cheque are being given based on the four group/region.People should be mindful of what they post on this platform just to raise the hope of innocent Nigerians being defrauded for enough is enough, all SEM agents should stay clear of their unfounded truth.Mobilisation are secretly ongoing for protest if nothing tangible is done on before the end of january 2019. We are still waiting but let them know this ( SEM)

  119. Tip:
    I just called the man now he told me that disbursement has already started with the south west since last year but the once that have not collected will complete theirs at Redemption camp in Lagos, According to SEM time table from on Monday Chairmen in south south will go to Calabar for their cheques, South East will go to Abuja for theirs and North will go to Gombe state………this is the latest info as at 12noon Friday 4th January 2019. Every information remain secret plsssss
    Everyone should make sure their phone is on as from on Monday because when the chairman is called upon, he is expected to be there the next day and so it is adviceable that they look for their transport money on ground as failure to get to the venue d next day may result to postponement of their cheques been given to them at a later date or time.
    #copied#

  120. @ inno and Bako, truly, i did not count it on anybody. We update ourselves on what we heard from n/c or people close to SEM. It may be true or false, it is for us to confirm it. out of rumours , there is truth.

    Any update i heard again, i will let house know. What i heard last is that all chairman / PR are no longer going to Abuja again. i heard it has been zoned to 4 region. and also there is a license SEM need to have to enable them disburse directly to outlet a/c, you all know NGO will not disburse again to outlet and Ngo have the license. There is no specific date for disbursement. I dont know whether it is true or false, house should confirm it.

    Please, let everyone continue to face our daily work. Some people dont know that grant is not quick fund. It take longer time with due process. But SEM suppose to have been giving people update, i dont know why they keep mute. Thanks.

  121. @AK please can i meet in person in Abuja one of these days ? I’m in Abuja here. Any date, time and venue you give is ok by me
    I want to suggest Top Rank Galaxy hotel as venue.
    Just give me date and time please
    God bless you

  122. @AK MARCH? PLS CAN THOSE IN ISHIBA, BETHANY, SUNCITY & KINGDOMWEALTH CONFIRM IF DISBURSEMENT HAD COMMENCED IN THOSE NGOS. THANKS

  123. Have been reading Ur comments guys
    The responds I got wen I emailed EFCC through their email address wen I asked d reason for sealing and locking SEM office,was’I am in no position to tell u,wen it is tym EFCC will make it known to d public’ dat was responds
    Let’s look into those statement
    Y say wen its tym dey will make it known to the public,y not dey will unlock SEM office to resume activities after finishing their investigation

  124. @GOUCH THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE STAKEIOLDERS MEETING IN DEC 2018 AT THE RCCG CAMP GROUND CONFIRMED THAT HE SAID IF HE DOES NOT DISBURSE THE GRANT BY MARCH 2018, HE SHOULD BE CURSED. MY CONCERN IS ARE THERE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSE TO DADDY/GO OF REDEEM TO GET TO TALK TO DONALD? LET US GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT IF NOTHING HAPPENS JAN WE HAVE TO MOBILIZE FOR MASS ACTION ACCROS THE COUNTRY. I WISH THIS WONDERFUL FAMILY A WONDERFUL 2019.

  125. Why would they start from north east, even when we know that they were part of the last to register and they have been benefiting from their brother Buhari who is nepotistic in nature?

    I know that as usual, the south east and the south south will be the last, as they have always been used as the sacrificial lamb. One Nigeria indeed, only time will tell.

  126. @Collins, I said so…that a personal matter for enforcement of fundamental rights cannot in any way affect the activities of SEM, fundamental rights matter is not that of SEM but Barr. Donald alone. Thanks for the clarification.

  127. Copied…

    Amb. Prince Akingbola David:
    INFORMATION!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!
    Ladies and Gentlemen, kindly disregard all the informations flying around some cooperative’s platform which titled 2018 FINAL UPDATE, some said that SEM office still remain locked by EFCC, for those of that are in Abuja, kindly go and check the said office to ascertain weather SEM office is locked or work is ongoing there, secondly, there is no case between SEM and EFCC, but barrister Donald filed a lawsuit against the EFCC for violating his fundamental human right, so that they can stop harassing and chasing him about here and there, case between SEM and EFCC has been lay to rest weeks before now, do not listing to those saying that the time is unknown, some National Coordinators that sent that killer message to their platform are also on standby here in Abuja waiting for call from SEM, S
    also some of the National Cooperative EXCO are working along and closely with SEM in other to speed up the process, the case between barrister Donald and EFCC is a personal case, and it did and will never affect the long awaiting disbursement in any way, all should stay calm and keep praying that we should all be alive to witness and partake in the disbursement, please, all member of TREASURE HOME should remain calm as we are on standby along other National Coordinators waiting for the final update and good news as well, good morning all, happy Xmas and Prosperous new year in advance, management.

  128. @NK; This Grant is real. It has been delayed and no one is happy about it even Donald. The amount for the entire program is N300 trillion which makes the N210 billion fine to be insignificant. The good news is that Donald and SEM paid the fine last thursday(20/12/2018) which means disbursement process will start. @Obi;The reference you are making was whatsapp messages sent to me which @ Omatayi has faulted and events has overtaken it. If you want the messages I can forward them to you. TIME WILL VERIFY EVERY POST———-Shalom

  129. @ Austin, pls for the sake of Christmas, be sincere to us. Are you sure that Sem finally paid that fine of over #200B naira. Because I confirm from 2 different National Cordinators that Sem refused paying the fine rather, Donald filed a case against efcc Boss for violation of human right. Please if I may ask again, where exactly do you normally get your information. Please respond to save dying souls.

  130. @Paul; I promise to send encouraging updates to you. The issue with EFCC has to do with SEM paying a fine for some financial violation in the registration of the outlets with CBN. The NCs later adviced SEM to pay the fine. SEM has paid this fine since last week thursday.The Govt.Agencies has entered an agreement with SEM to open their office as soon as they are done with their due process with the signed document/Agreement. Take this truth from me and put away any rumors while the disbursement date shall be given soon.——shalom

  131. GOING BY @AK POST, THE QUESTIONS TO ASK ARE WHEN WAS THIS SUIT FILLED? IN WHICH COURT IS IT FILLED? WHAT IS THE SUIT NUMBER? IF THIS POST IS REALLY FROM THE NCS, THEN IT MAY BE AN ESCAPE ROUTE & SOFT LANDING FOR THE NCS. TIME WILL TELL

  132. *2018 Final Update of SEM from the Office of National Coordinators dated 24th December, 2018 by 7pm.*

    It is no longer a news that the delay in the disbursement of the Social Exchange Market grant has created a lot of doubt in the mind of many beneficiaries and generated lots of controversies in the recent time.

    On this note, the National Executives have embarked on technical research and the following facts were discovered.

    1. That generally grant is a supportive project which can either be a financial support, material support and scholarship support.

    2. That the Social Exchange Market grant is one of the grant that comes to Nigeria to liberate the masses from poverty but the precise time of disbursement cannot be ascertained due to these sub-paragraphed issues;

    A). Some group of people wrote a petition to EFCC alleging that the project is a scam, and money was obtained from people through false pretence.

    B). While the EFCC investigation was ongoing, the EFCC decided to lock
    and Sealed the Social Exchange Market Office, also frozen the SEM bank account and some coordinators’ bank account

    C). At the moment, Comrade Donald Adedayo Olorunkeyede has filed a lawsuit *Motion Exparte on Violation of Fundamental human right* to court against the EFCC BOSS and other concerned parties . And ofcourse every activities regarding SEM shall be on hold until the court decides.

    We therefore implore the appropriate Government Agency, the Media, The Grant stakeholders, the beneficiaries, and other concerned parties to be patient and be prayerful with us.

    *Point to note*

    Note 1

    *We also want the general public to note that the Membership fee paid by some of the Beneficiaries qualifies them to be members of different Cooperatives/ NGO and to access other grants different Social Exchange Market grant through the Cooperatives/NGO. In other words, our members does not need to pay any money again to access other grants.*

    Note2

    *We the Cooperatives/NGOs have the Government approval to admits members and to accepts Membership fee and levies respectfully in line with our Bye- Law and Constitution*.

    We pledge with all our heart to communicate the concerned parties as things unfold.

    *National Secretary*

  133. @Obi no Director have received a dime, any Chairman or Person that claims that is cheap liar with no apology, all the Chairmen are still waiting for SEM call up for their Outlets fund, they (Chairmen) are the ones to pay the Directors/Beneficiaries and not Sem.
    Thanking you all for both negative and positive updates, it has kept us together all this while.
    Wishing us the best of the season.

  134. Austin, please can you defend this statement of yours below?
    Austin
    DECEMBER 20, 2018 AT 5:30 PM
    My outlets chairman keep sending me conversations of Directors that have started receiving alerts since today. One director received 5M with 100,000 bank charges. I am expecting more info. from my chairman. Alerts will continue till the end of this month.———–SHALOM
    So what’s happening now?
    You said you read those conversations showing proof of payment in the SEM program……. Because I’m now confused about the grant and even thinking you guys are now Donald’s paid agents.
    Hmmmm.
    Just explain ur earlier statements talking about disbursement

  135. Dear All ,
    Just as if I knew insult and argument will reign on this platform,that was why I suggested,(which some people has been keeping with) that any information gotten from other platform or source should be indicated with **copied*** so as to further confirm the authenticated of the news.This will sanitize this house going forward.shalom

  136. Please is there no director here on this platform that can confirm what Austin is saying? @Austin pls which of the ngo’s are you referring to? So that we can know the directors to ask to confirm the update… thank you.

  137. @Amazing; You cannot bully me out of this platform. I am not a politician. I understand your feeling about APC. Kindly transfer you aggression through your PVC. Time will vindicate my updates————- Happy Weekend

  138. @Collins; Some people are being sponsored to stay at Abuja for close monitoring of SEM activities. This is all I can say about my updates for now.SEM activities does not end with disbursement. Barr. Donald has plans for next week despite the holidays.SEM is not on vacation. All chairmen & Beneficiaries are expecting direct message from SEM b4 the New Year.—-Happy Weekend.

  139. I once alerted this platform on how @Austin is a brother to Lie Lie Mohammed, but no one listened. Now his recent cook up stories and the contradictions to his posts has vindicated my earlier stance by proofing that he is not just only a brother to Lai Mohammed but also share bloodline with @Festus kayemo, @Garba shehu, @Lauretta Onochie, and all other @Official APC lying machines.

    How can @Austin post that his outlet boss confirmed to him that they has gotten their share of perhaps non existing grant not quite long, and all of a sudden he is now cooking up stories about efcc and CBN.

    As it stands today. World bank, Central Bank of Nigeria and Development Bank of Nigeria had disassociated themselves long ago when the said grant was introduced to poor Nigerians and warmed the populace not to fall a prey. It was as a result of that warning that the organisers changed their stance that the grant is coming from world charity box and so on, with neither address nor names of sponsors.

    Let me not go into details on the drama played out before, but the body language in this episodes is indicating nothing but ‘ MONUMENTAL FRAUD’. Do not take my words for that but think outside the box. I’m not against whatever revelation you have got,
    Keep hope alive with or without the grant you will breakthrough if you believe.

    I’m neither here to give hope nor undermine your hope, but to implore you to have plan B and C always in life. Don’t be moved by what you hear, monitor the body language, watch the eyes of someone communicating with you. The lips can deceive but the eyes can’t hide it, if you are observant. Have a nice day.

  140. @Austine, your information is almost the same with the ones I have been getting from other sources since yesterday as all mfb embarked on their holiday recess to resume by 7th January . I do not want to delve into the total money involved for disbursement as you mentioned here because is not my business as I will not dictate for the SEM the amount to be given to each indidual ;even though that I found that mentioned amount outrageous and infeasible. I want to know how close you are with getting these information or you got it from a platform and pasted? Most of the information we have gotten and pasted has over the time disappointed us, that is why I ask.

  141. @Austin, I just contacted my uncles who’s a director of the CBN, Orlu branch, IMO state.. He told me in clear, crystal words” CBN has nothing to do with SEM, We made it clear to the general public. I hope you didn’t get yourself involved?” I simply replied “No”.. So, Where is all this 210 billion story coming from? So CBN contacted EFCC? No longer NAMCAA? Make una dey fear God o.. Sha, continue with the tales by moonlight, I’m off!!

  142. @Mike; Austin is my real name.It is the fear of God that makes me spend at least 1000mb data/wk on smile network to get updates & encourage beneficiaries on this platform.I do not take offence when people criticize me, sometimes I laugh over it . Because of personal revelation about this grant, I cannot help encouraging fellow applicants. Our leaders has failed & still failing Nigerians.Many youths has taken the part of bloody rituals to become rich & it is sad. My little contribution is to encourage them to patiently wait for this grant. @Gouch;There are some information I cannot paste online bcos the sources must not see it on social media. But permit me to summarise;SEM grant program is N300 trillion and CBN fined SEM N210billion for violating CBN provisions on MFB registration since June this year. The NCs told SEM not to pay that they will pray against it. God did not answer that prayer & masses were suffering. CBN now used EFCC against SEM. The NCs has now adviced SEM to pay the fine to enable them disburse.EFCC gave SEM uptill yesterday(Friday) as deadline.SEM has paid the fine and will start formal operation on Monday and by 1st week of January,2019 disbursement would commence. ————SHALOM

  143. The programme was originally non gorvermental, but today Donald has gradually turned it into government affairs by dropping the NGOs that founded the outlets and enganging CBN to register the outlets. The same CBN has suddenly become the custodian of the money to be disbursed. I am really supprised with the development after CBN has denied ever knowing anything about SEM grant. Are we sure of seeing this money when it finally becomes goverment affairs? I am afraid. Donald is very inconsistent. He is toying with people’s life. No wonder government is silent about development and our cries. They know the act will favour them.
    God will confort us, I pray.

  144. @Gouch; All the pastors/ministers in this program cannot be wrong. SEM Business begins with disbursement through the outlets. The outlets must be duely accredited by CBN b4 they can handle transactions.SEM is expected to tidy up outlets approval by CBN for financial transactions. If SEM has used existing MFbanks it could have been easier.I believe SEM is not only interested in disbursement alone but in the future of the Social Exchange Market. Fortunately CBN does not take bribe , but believes in due process for accreditations. I believe SEM must have forwarded every necessary document to CBN for approval which can be granted any moment. Even if temporary approval is granted SEM can commence disbursement through the outlets. ——–SHALOM

  145. @Austin. The truth about this grant is gradually becoming clear as i am suspecting that its fake. There could be money somewhere but Donald may not want to give out any money for selfish reason.

  146. Copied:
    The delay is solely protocols with CBN. SEM is restlessly working to put finishing touches to the requirements.
    This could have been avoided if SEM had gone ahead to disburse through the NGOs who met requirements of cooperative entity liscenced to deal in financial transactions. But at the dine minute SEM said no it want to disburse directly to the outlets and this is the modalities being perfected.
    Some may be asking why all these stories….na scam. Answer is this. The grant money is available with CBN waiting for disbursement. Protocol is what we are dealing with currently. Sadly though all these should have been sorted out to allow us get the family relief fund this season.
    We thank God for everything as we hand over SEM and CBN to Him.
    In case the good news emerge we will update immediately because anything can still happen.———-SHALOM

  147. @frank, the desperation for getting relieved through this grant which I know that you fully participated has so much aggravated your actions and utterances, that you at this point seeks to fight the admin of this site. But unfortunately, that will not solve the problem :because we are all in partnership with this over prolonged promise that has seen to the death of many and impoverished more people than ever.

    But I want to still reaffirm to you and as well as still remind you that the grant is real and not fake. You may have been very frustrated with the fact that the information is inconsistent , but that shouldn’t cause you to preach fraud against the grant :because everyone knew that we have gone passed that stage long ego.

    If you are in spirit, you would have seen this grant and her authenticity. I have done so and so many people have done so too. Inasmuch as one factor or the other keep delaying this grant and more painful as the information within our reach is inconsistent :every persons that has viewed it from the spiritual side has comfirmed it to be real :we are hopeful that all will end in praise.

  148. Austin the update from your outlet chairman is false No body has been paid a dime by SEM oooo The battle between SEM and the SCUML arm of Efcc is yet to be fully resolved as at 1630hrs today but hopefully by next week Again no disbursement can take place earlier than February 2019 Quote me

  149. My outlets chairman keep sending me conversations of Directors that have started receiving alerts since today. One director received 5M with 100,000 bank charges. I am expecting more info. from my chairman. Alerts will continue till the end of this month.———–SHALOM

  150. Someone came to my house now, one of the beneficiaries and told me they have paid some NGO’s and one of the NGOs told them in the group they belonged…. He only came to let me know that the grant he doubted is Real….. I didn’t remember to ask him which of the NGO’s…. But he said it that the Man told them bcs there’s is on the way…. Which it will get to us after the NCs and chairmen’s….. And he said they agreed to give us House allowances of 500k each and after which they will pay us main money….. I’m yet to confirmed these…..but whichever one, they should just do something before next year….

  151. @OMOTAYO WOW WOW WOW. SO THE GOAL POST HAVE BEEN SHIFTED. FROM DEC 2017 TO MARCH 2018, TO JUNE TO AUGUST TO DEC & NOW TO FEA 2019. WHAT A VICIOUS CYCLE WE HAVE BEEN DRAGGED INTO. @AK HAD SAID IN HIS RECENT POST THAT HE DOES NOT SEE ANY GRANT THIS DEC. WE SHOULD MOVE ON. LET SEM & THEIR HEADMASTER DO WHAT SEEMS GOOD TO THEM. MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS HAVE HOPED ON THIS GRANTS & HAVE BECOME VICTIMS. MILLIOHS HAVE WAITED ON THIS GRANT & HAVE BECOME PRISONERS. LETS HOPE & WAIT ON GOD ONLY. GOD BLESS US ALL.

    1. @Omotayi, I want to believe your comment “disbursement is in February 2019” is out of your onw personal speculations. Nevertheless, don’t forget this forum is for matured men and women who understand better to comment but not for childlike paly. It is well.

  152. @Paul.Lt is quite a pity that you have to go this long way the good news is that very soon even before 31st December 2018 you will definitely get your grant l assure you that there is hope.

  153. @Austin. Tension is high and people are full of disapointments from SEM. I don’t blame any body who harasses you with your updates. It is because nothing tangible has emanated from SEM. Anybody can say anything at this point in time. Please don’t take it personal. There is a reward for everything. You’ve been trying.
    I will encourage you to continue to update us with genuine information as regards SEM grant. God bless you.

  154. @ Amazing, if you think i and Austin are giving mindset info, i have heard you. But i know in my self that you are wrong.

    @ law, i will advice you to stop given people update here please, as i too have stopped it. i will only come and ready here. People like lies than truth.

    Those of you people here with loads of curses putting on SEM officials and people that give update here whether true or false, you will soon carry your loads, unless if you dont collect this SEM grant anytime it comes out. ( Oga ni iya muda ).

    My greetings to all that give us update here whether true or false, it is for us to confirm it.

    I also congratulate all the sem grant beneficiaries, it might delay, but all things work together for good for they that love God. Very soon we all shall rejoice. Anything anyone of you may say, i wont reply back, bcs, this will be my last message concerning sem grant. I know in my heart the info i give you people here is authentic.

    Thanks you all.

  155. @Austin Diamond Bank has no jurisdiction to arrest sem once there is any functional account to which the cheque was issued ( if @ all there was cheque issuance or camouflage), also if there is no complains there is no way for arrest. Same applicable to the efcc script play.

    I advice you to refrain from dishing out your mindset here without a concrete evidence in the name of giving hope. More importantly, desist from using the word ‘shalom’ in your falsehood.

    Same applicable to @Adeniyi.

  156. @Amazing; Has Diamond Bank come out to sue SEM for using their name for fraudulent activity?.Did EFCC make any arrest of SEM staff.? .Please let us argue wisely. SHALOM.

  157. @Austin stop defending what you don’t have link to. The said cash disbursement @ church has a whole lots to nail this grant as a scam. Was it the the proposed format for the alleged disbursement? Fraudsters also commit their resources to defraud their victims. Be guided!

    The efcc is yet to make a pronouncement about what transpired, if any of such took place.

  158. @Amazing; Where did SEM get the money they disbursed at Abuja church with Diamond Bank Bold Cheques in August 2018? .May the truth set you free. SHALOM

  159. @Gouch & Daniel; SEM has been growing the money with bank interest and planning to pay beneficiaries in instalments starting from this December 2018. Barr. Donald is greedy & smart but God is smarter than him. SHALOM

  160. CAN ANY RESPONSIBLE GOVT JUST SIT & WATCH OVER 10M OF HER CITIZENS BEING SCAMMED? IF THIS IS A SCAM, THEN WE HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY THE FEDERAL GOVT OF NIGERIA. NOW THE NEXT !5 DAYS WILL BRING THIS TO LIGHT. WHERE ARE THOSE THEY SAYING 15, 16, & 17 DEC. THEY GIVE FAKE UPDATES NOT EVEN KNOWING THAT 15 &16 ARE NOT WORKING DAYS

  161. If anyone here still thinks he or she is getting anything from SEM from now to march, my bet of 20k still stands.. Don’t insult me because my own no good o! Just put your money where you mouth is, shekina!!

  162. My dear d truth.it seems that you are been vindicated. This man called Donald is a hoax.nobody has seen this Donald only heard of him.he a creation of the organisers of this charade.don’t curse the people updating us they are also helpless. They were briefed by people they love and respect. Those briefing them are equally briefed by those they trust.it is a vicious circle. But if they Chief culprits are deceiving Nigerians they will pay heavily in so far there God in heaven. They will not Escape.

  163. If you know the root cause of the delays we will stop fighting each other here.The fight b/w the NCs and SEM was to our own advantage. The NCs started fighting SEM when SEM launched the grant in a church and gave beneficiaries only N200,000 – N300,000 instead of the 3 – 10 Million naira they applied for. NAMCCA was formed by SEM to revenge on the NCs. The NCs has been asked to step aside, but they are watching from a distance to make sure that SEM does not cheat beneficiaries. Barr. Donald knows that he might not survive the curses of 10 million Nigeria plus the curse he placed on himself if he fails to disburse at least 5% FRF this December2018. He is working hard to earn our blessings into the New year 2019. ———SHALOM

  164. I don’t blame anybody.sem in connivance with ncs planned and organized this thing and now after milking people they toying with lives since last year.no information from the sem site.no information from sem office all you hear is Donald said this and that .Donald is out and back.who is mysterious Donald that is very elusive time shall tell.one thing that is becoming clearer is that organizers of this charade does not fear God.

  165. Hello friends. I have decided to be silent because alot of fake news are been peddled everywhere concerning the grant. I was invited to same grant meeting yesterday where a high level personnel (name withheld) who has been in meeting with SEM coucus since Wednesday authoritatively told us that NONE including NC have been paid but everyone should Thank God and hold on till Thursday.

    Please let’s be careful of fake news. I know some won’t agree with this. Yes I won’t blame them. But this is the true state as at 1:30pm yesterday Friday.

    God bless you. Congratulations

  166. @ Gouch, I second what Austin said, If you too collect your grant fund and people keep on asking you that have you collected money ??? can you say yes ????? N/C and ceo keep quiet, that is the sign that they have been settled.

    Do you know our SEM update here for ourselves, SEM dont want it. They want to disburse silently without any announcement.

    @ D truth, keep quiet and shut up your mouth. What are you still looking here again. If this grant come out, you too will go and collect money you are called SCAM ???

    My people, lets be rest assured of this grant with patience, with our hands we shall collect it. If PD / chairman and directors collect their fund, they will not tell anyone until others fund ready for collection i tell you.

    The caliber of people in-care of it give me assurance that it will come out one day. Thanks and God bless.

  167. @Gouch; NAMCCA Executive meeting(without SEM officials) held a week ago cannot be a current update from SEM. The program SEM has this December can not be seen online for security reasons. There are things we cannot say online now for your own security. The only thing I can safely say for now is that the way SEM has silenced EFCC, CBN & NCs will soon be applied to NAMCCA & Beneficiaries. The only way you can hide information from your enemies is to speak in parables or divert their attension to the future. Please read in between the lines any time you see an update. It is later than you think————–SHALOM

  168. I know of a christian friend who told me in sept.2018 he was going to put all his grant in Bitcion(cryptocurrency trading) which was expected to make him a billionaire in December 2018. I cautioned him then. As I speak, many people has lost all their money in cryptocurrency trading. He among others should be thanking God for the delay in SEM grant disbursement.——–SHALOM

  169. A brief update on NAMCCA executive meeting in Abuja (08/12/2018)

    *Points*

    1: It is obvious to us at NAMCCA national level with all evidences and proof gotten from highly connected investigation done covertly that the grant may not look the way it is.

    2: However, we have information that disbursement may not be this year if nothing happens this December, it may come by March 2019.

    3: We strongly belief that Mr. Donald has reasons for covering tracks of the money for obvious reason and we appreciate him for that.

    4: We have been assured that money will come to Outlets chairmen as against the unfounded position of NC’s. Money will be sorted out from source to avoid victimization from any quarters.

    5: It is obvious that *THERE IS NO SECOND BATCH!!!* Stop paying money to anybody.

    6: Donald is in the country and SEM office remains locked (not by EFCC) but for security reasons SEM can’t operate their for now, although operations may be going on at a classified location.

    7: Stay calm and do something else for now pending the disbursement. Do not loose hope and don’t be intimidated by any CEO. They don’t have right to remove or shortchanged you. This assurance was made by SEM to us.

    8: Miss Precious has apologized and also revealed she was cajoled to blackmail NAMCCA by NCF by desperate CEOs

    9: Be rest assured that *NAMCCA is for SEM* and implementation of its laid down guidelines from onset. We are not fighting SEM nor the coordinators, our mission is to see SEM go through with agreement made with us via UCR and free our people from excessive extortion by CEOs.

    10: NAMCCA will continue her fight for injustice i.e. extortion cases with evidence, harassment and intimidation of members with proof

    Thank you.

  170. @Inno;SEM took a stand that they will settle the NCs. Nothing short of financial settlement can silence the NCs. @Joe Alex;I would have expected you to place a curse on yourself to convince us that SEM grant is a scam. Barr.Donald placed a curse on himself if he fail to disburse the grant. SHALOM

  171. SEM grant is a big Scam, there is no money anywhere to disburse, they should stop telling people stories upon stories, and disburse the grant money if it is real.

  172. @Austine what SEM did that makes them keep quite is that sem asked them to handover, that they want to take over and relet to Outlets Pds direct so the ball is in their (SEM) court now so they should start action positively or negatively which ever one lets see

  173. The Big Ouestion is; What did SEM do to the NCs that we are not hearing from them again ?. SEM will do the same to beneficiaries next week . SHALOM.

  174. @Paul ur right SEM has not paid anybody but if they think they have let them come out and say it and also clear the air on scam rumours here and there, this kind of situation can only exist in nigeria where everything goes lets keep our fingers cross and watch only time will tell us where we are

  175. Sem can never pay NGOs outlet money.the rumur is that they paid some NGOs their own cut .the same news was refuted by NGOs .in my own opinion sem has not paid anybody. The only money sem has paid is the one they distributed in a church last August. My worry is will sem ever pay.

  176. HOW ARE WE SURE THAT SEM HAS PAID OUTLET MONEY TO THE NGOS/NCS. KINGDOMWEALTH & SUN CITY HAVE COME OUT TO DEBUNK THE ROMOURS MAKING THE ROUNDS THAT THEY RECEIVED OUTLETS MONEY. RUMOURS & FAKE UPDATES EVERYWHERE. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US

  177. SEM may have just proved their incompetent and lack of goal orientation to have paid the grant to the account of the National Cordinators. If God will feed the nation of antelope in the jungle, he will not keep their green pasture by the den of the lions. We have a very serious problem with corruption in Nigeria which has characterized us as a dog eat dog world. If the genuine intention of the grant owner / SEM is to facilitate a bottom to top Pyramid of disbursement, then they have just failed by letting the money hang in the middle. This kind of situation is what makes any observer feel that Nigeria can never change for good again..

  178. If Grandparents(NCs), Parents (NAMCCA) & Children (beneficiaries) are hungry. It is a bad practice for parents to eat before their hungry children. IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN NIGERIA. The young shall grow if the parents(politicians) will not kill them with hunger. SHALOM.

  179. Dear all, kindly put yourself into their shoe, if you were ceo / nc, would open up for your grant applicants that you have collected your own grant and applicant have not ????? They might not open up for security reason until applicant fund ready for collection. Thanks.

  180. Kingdom Wealth Has Deny Their Been Getting The Money But Ishiba Has Not…… Is It Only Ishiba That Will Disburse This Year, Or Other Ngo Desided To Be Secretive In Their Approach To This Disbursement? Lets Know Our Faith This Year O

  181. There are have been strong denial by some NC that they’ve not been paid, especially kingdom wealth. That SEM does not even have their account details. That all this info about disbursement is a lie from the pit of hell. I believe some of you would have seen it no wonder everyone is quite. We dont know which one to believe again. But i believe one thing that Time is a revealer of truth.

  182. We don’t even know which information is genuine and which is fake for now. It is practically a disaster for SEM to pay the grant into the account of the National coordinators. Many of those NC have self ambition where they will divert the money to yield profit smartly before remembering paying any poor applicant. I won’t be surprised if some will not run away to another country with the grant. SEM should pay as many applicant into their bank account and send them text messages to notify them. I don’t think it is wise to entrust the money with NC that have proved untrustworthy by collecting exhubitant money as much as 10k from poor applicants to have enrolled them for this grant.

  183. All mfb by now ought to have done verifications for their beneficiaries ;where their account details are strictly imputed while some mfb rather chooses to open up an entirely new account for their beneficiaries in a designated banks. If your mfb has not done this, it simply means that even as the 5% hits the mfb account :they will not disburse to you people, thereby making your supposed exmas relief difficult and becoming a workload for them as the disbursement for the project money will commence in Ernest by January. These are what you as a beneficiary should be concerned about and not the genuineness of the grant which has been long sorted out .

  184. September: “Disbursements on October, praise the lord!

    October: ” Oh no! NAMCAA and EFCC.. SEM office sealed!
    “Nameless donators said SEM should disburse by November or lose it all”

    November: “Sorry for the delay, NAMCAA has surrendered and EFCC has left and EFCC forgot to put SEM’s investigation into record, Incredible!!”
    “SEM is now working underground in a secret office,Wow! Now we know SEM has other secret underground offices in Abuja, dem be MIA!!..

    December: “Donald swore on the alter to disburse this year, Glory to this wonderful God!
    ” Not full disbursement really, but the family relief funds to all beneficiaries, good start, uh??
    Wait! Everyone’s not getting the family relief fund this year due to pH, verification and re-verification, Dammit!!
    Full disbursement commence on January 2019!

    January: “???????????????

    Drama upon drama by supposed Men of God!. Admin, please allow @Ak to give us his own update, please.. Truth must prevail on this debacles no matter how hard you try to suppress it. Anyone taking this @Adeniyi guy serious needs deliverance from some sorts of spirits..

  185. All the NC were paid their 2% of the total money to disburse to outlet’s through this program for them and beneficiaries. This is because they are to be paid off but the outlets ceo will received only but 5% of the total money, which they will use to pay themselves their own 5% of their total 2% of the entire mfo supposed money and pay the beneficiaries also 5% of their Money each.

    This is because, they are meant to stay and continue to work to see to the successful disbursement of this entire grant and monitor their beneficiaries unlike the NC that has been paid off.

    This brings us to the money I publiched Last week on amount to be received by all executives and beneficiaries in this first face of 5% which is called family relief.

    Ceo=2m
    Directors =1.5m
    Volunteers =900k
    Beneficiaries =250k to 500k

    All representing 5% of the entire money due as grant to the aforementioned.
    If you are an mfb executives and expect that your money will come in full or more than the percentage you are ordered to give to beneficiaries, then you are dreaming. You have a lot of works to do with the sem to see to the success of these program :you are the key to the bottom up program and shouldn’t expect yourself to be settle and let off the hook like the NCs were.

    From all indications, is obvious that sem has settled the NC groups and all in the process to settle the mfb, so that they can carry on the job to disburse to their beneficiaries their own way and not without been monitored. Whether or not the various mfb will meet up this December to disburse effectively to their teeming beneficiaries is what we can not tell as some of them have not even gotten account details of their applicants and some are very sluggish and unorganised.

    This information is still not 100% confirmed as this information was not published by the sem official website themselves, but by various participants with what they have seen or heard so far. But remove the issue of this program been a scam, as I myself have seen it in vision and confirmed with other people’s vision that is real.

    And the recent news paper review that federal government is set to open up micro finance banks across the entire country and disburse over 250 billion naira to people which am convinced is their own share of the money to participate in the program so as to score a political mark that apc made this grant possible :a condition that would have been given to Donald to allow him disburse is a perfect pointer that this is real. So be guided :the program is real and the disbursement is already on.

  186. Paul Emeka:

    SEM GRANT UPDATE

    Good Morning Great Minds… I miss you all for sometime.. I really appreciate your maturity and understanding during this waiting period… My Joy is that God have answered our Prayers….

    ?Concerning the SEM Grant Update: Good news all the way… God have answered our utmost prayers and disbursement is on process stage by stage peacefully with consciousness of applying wisdom with security mindset… All The NGOs will be settled first with their 2%.. Then The MFO Outlets Chairmen will be next to Collect 5% Family Relief Fund on behalves of their MFO Directors and Beneficiaries… Bar. Donald has been around supervising this process since last week quietly… We were told to mind the way we discuss about the grant in the Public for security reasons.. The disbursement of the percentages will be within this year, while the real Grant for Project commence in January 2019.. Everyone should be matured and calm until you are called for yours.. I really wanted to be sure of this process that’s why I waited till now.. Please disregard any fake news on daily news paper that the SEM Grant is a Scam.. Its a lie of the devil from the pit of hell to give some weaklings high BP.. Non shall die before disbursement In JESUS Name! We shall live, rejoice, enjoy and testify with our Children the Goodness of the Lord concerning this long expected Grant… Please let’s be matured and more prayerful in time like this… The nature of the SEM disbursement is quietly.. We shall receive direct SMS from SEM and not from the NGO when it gets to our turn.. Please let’s inform all beneficiaries under us to be calm, everything is in order.. Very soon everyone will rejoice by Gods grace.. The enemies will be jealous, friends will envy you, and doubters will regret, therefore, everyone should be very careful that’s why SEM is not releasing update so as to Confuse the enemies of this Project… We have all suffered delay enough perpetrated by the greedy and evil ones within and outside the SEM Grant Project.. Thank God for His mercies and intervention. We also appreciate the VP Yemi Osinbajo for his involvement to settle the interference of CBN, EFCC, NAMCCA, NGOs, etc. causing unnecessary delay.. We also Thank all who have Raised their Voices up to our Heavenly Father in divers manner Prayers and Praise to draw Heaven’s attention because we won’t let go our Expectations… In all let’s continue to Praise God and be a faithful Child of God… Like I said, the disbursement is gradually on..

    Congratulations to all?

  187. HOW CANNOT PAY DIRECTLY. THE NGO I REG (AYEDEBO FARMERS MPCS) FORM DID NOT HAVE PROVISION FOR A/C NUMBER. EVEN WHEN WE DID VERIFIFICATION A/C NUMBERS WERE NOT COLLECTED. IN THIS SCNERIO HOW DO WE GET OUR MONEY?

  188. NCs have been paid since last week. Whether they deny it or not does not change that fact. Besides they may wish to deny it for their own security, since beneficiaries are yet to receive payment.

  189. @Nk; Nobody can have access to any NCs account to confirm payment from SEM. The NCs can either confirm the payment or deny it. There is no smoke without fire. SEM is not a bank but can instuct all banks to credit all beneficiaries with the latest automated banking technology within 24 hrs. Obstacles only exist in the mind. SHALOM

  190. @ Austin, why are using the word denied when you are not even sure if NGO (ISHIBA etc) has received the payment. You want SEM to disburse directly when we are talking about over 8Million beneficiaries with less than 30 SEM staff. If they disburse directly when did you think that you will receive payment and whom do you complain to if they omit your payment or have issue with your payment. Let us use wisdom with what we are saying or doing.

  191. @Ofinud; I just confirmed that the NCs(including Ishiba) have denied receiving 10% of outlets allocation. It is now clear why SEM does not want to disburse to beneficiaries through the NCs.If the NCs can deny such payments,that means the NCs have a hidden agenda against the outlets chairmen(NAMCCA).I just hope the chairmen will not transfer aggression to beneficiaries. In that case SEM should pay the 5% FRF direct to beneficiaries since they have our account information. SHALOM

  192. @Ofinud, thanks . But do you know how much is allocated to each outlet and what is 10% of that and why 10% instead of the whole allocation? Also which 8% are ishiba state coordinators collecting and to what end? Are the questions too plenty ? Please I’m just seeking clarification your post is a bit confusing…

  193. Disbursement has Commence with NCs under ground house 10% of each outlet has been given to their NGOs.
    Ishiba has called their states coordinators to abuja to collect the 8% of all the financial outlets in their various states.

    SEM is not the one calling for now its the NGOs because SEM is done with the NGOs regarding the 10% disbursement.

    Pls you can call to confirm this good development.

    It Will surely end in high praise.

  194. Verification in question is based on each outlets because some outlets has informations about thie beneficiaries under them.
    Sunlight city took their time out to get all the neccessary informations. Only few outlets who failed in this regards could still call for the exercise.

  195. @ omatayi, If you want to collect money in the bank, are you not going to be verified by cashier b4 they give u money ?? Or they will just give u without your i.d card ?? Verification : checking of beneficiary data, form and photo. PH : 25TH AND 26TH public holiday.
    @ daniel, do you think if sem credit mfo a/c next week, all beneficiary will get paid ????? Thanks

  196. @adeniyi Pls Explain More On That Verification Is It Mfo Account Verification Or The Beneficiaries,, Bcos I Thaught They Will Issue Cheque To The Beneficiaries And Also Some People(most Of The Beneficiaries That Uses Account) Has Been Called For Verification At Least 2 Month Ago.. Pls Enlighten Us More On Verification You Are Talking About

  197. @HAS U BEGAN TO SHIFT THE DATE FROM DEC TO NEXT YR? I TOE THE LINE OF @FRANK. I AM A REALIST. I DON’T SEE THE POSSIBILITY OF SEM DISBURSING WHATEVER AMOUNT TO ALL BENEFICIARIES IN D NEXT 2 WKS. NOT DAT IAM DOUBTING THE GRANT.

  198. Dear all, Dont let us deceive ourselves. If 5 percent enter MFO a/c next week, it may not be credited to beneficiaries this year due to PH, verification and process. Thanks.

  199. @Gouch; Are you ready to give me just 5% of what you will collect next week?. Barr. Donald is fully back as he promised.NAMCCA & SEM are working 24hrs to ensure 5% next week b/4 XMAS. SHALOM.

  200. @ Daniel, you are free to vote for anybody you like. This grant is not for campaign for anybody. But it will be in history in Naija for life that during regime of PMB and PYO we receive this grant. They have power to block it from masses, even without hearing about it, but we thanks God for them for releasing it for masses. And we also thank God for our NEHEMIAH in the Aso Rock for his great work to make this grant a success for us.

    @ Gouch, i hope you still have your sim card you used to register for this grant at hand ??? Just be watchful. Thanks

  201. @Collins & @ Adeniyi ;Many thanks for encouraging updates. We shall win this war against unbelieve. I have come to realise that patience is the greatest gift God can give a christian. By this time next week we will start cashing the 5% FRF while waiting for the project cheque. SHALOM.

  202. collins:
    I don’t know about pmb or apc involvement in this grant, because from the onset we were told that they had nothing to do with it :but I know that one of the first challenges this disbursement faced was caused by this government who wanted to frustrate this program by insisting that it will cause Inflation and also suspected that it is money sent by Christian World and Christian countries to empower the people and unsit this government.

    I also know that in the process of settling this issues with the federal government as osibanjo delved into the matter, knowing that the reputation of his wife and church is at stake having participated in the scheme as an NGO :the federal government arrived at an agreement with the sem for disbursement :which I think that one of the conditions was what we are seeing today .

    First, to allow the federal government claim involvement for political score cards and probably to allow them also part with some amount that they will disburse on their own through cbn, which we read about the other day.

    Whichever agreement reached is not the beneficiaries problem :but that the money should be disbursed from this moment as promised by the sem.

    All that has happened over the years and months back has never been encouraging :in fact, some has lost their lives in the process, while others has lost control of their projects. But in all, why am still stock to this is because am convinced spiritually about this program.

  203. Prince Ranmi Adeniran Phillips Adebayo:
    This is copied from another platform.. I think its from the NGO under which Lawrence Oluwole Registered his Outlet…

    ????????????
    FELLOW COOPERATORS, good evening all, Kindly disregard all the news going on in any of NIGERIA News Papers, all is fake, we have make our findings on the fake news, and it’s indeed fake, it was written by one LAWRENCE OLUWOLE, the CEO of huntersinternational.org. he’s a chairman and owner of an outlet in one of the cooperative, he has been identified, and he will soon face it, he’s a full flesh and blood member of NAMCCA, trying to blackmail and Tarnish the good name and reputation of SEM and NGOs, since they could not change SEM’s decision for SEM to do what they want, they felt the next thing to do is to take it to news papers and other news house to tarnish their good name, but GOD is always ahead of them, DONALD is available now and he’s on ground now trying to put finishing touches to what his staffs has done Lawrence and his outlet already has been disqualified and he’s filled with shame now, all should relax, keep praying for DONALD and NGOs, very soon, it will hit our account and there will be Laughter and Cry of Joy all over, good evening all.

  204. @ folasade abiodun, i can see you are averagely believed this grant. Kindly put your mind away on it. Very soon all thomases will see something good will come out from Nigeria. This kind of grant had come to Nigeria, but no masses heard of it and no masses benefited from it. It is an unforseen miracle in Nigeria that a lot of people will not believe such thing can happen in Naija.

    i will implore all not to give ourselves BP concerning this grant. it is an additional. i tell you my people, we will all laugh very soon. This grant will enter outlet a/c unannounced, just like Jesus christ is coming very soon with no date. Thanks.

  205. Please do not allow Nigerian newspaper to publish your obituary when you are still alive. This is what the Nigerian newspaper is doing to SEM. Most of the publishers will not put their name so that SEM will not blacklist them for the grant. Please let us believe the men & women of God that are working & praying to ensure the success of SEM grant this year. SHALOM.

  206. @FRANK & MC. I HAD CALLED ATTENTION OF THE HOUSE TO THE PUBLICATION ON SUNDAY. TO ME THE PUBLICATION IS FACELESS COS THE NAME OF THE REPORTER IS NOT MENTIONED. THE ARTICLE MAY BE PUBLISHED AS A BLACKMAIL TO HASTEN0/PUSH SEM INTO ACTION. IN THE ARTICLE, MENTION IS MADE OF EFCC NOT BEING AWARE OF SEM. IF THE EFCC IS NOT AWARE OF SEM ACTIVITES SINCE 2016? THE SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN AWASHED WITH SEM STORIES FOR A WHILE NOW & WE SAY EFCC &GOVT IS NOT AWARE? SOME HIGH PLACED PEOPLE HAD TAGGED THE VP ON HIS TWITTER HANDLE CONCERNIG SEM GRANT & D GOVT IS NOT AWARE? IF SEM IS SCAM’ IP IS APC GOVT THAT HAS SCAM. AK WAITING TO HEARFROM YOU

  207. Please dear Bro Austin, if this programme is not genuine, i think it is time to let the cat out of the basket and stop deceiving people. i believe Mr Donald isn’t God that he can not even say something at least to calm t he nerves o f everyone. remember the day of judgement and be more realistic in all we do or say. thanks. and if this programme is genuine why is it taking too long afterwards wee have been hearing that everything is set. so why the delay.

  208. Good morning to all. From all indications, it is now clear that all this grant stuff is nothing more than a movie. ‘Donald is in town and out of town stuff’ , all nonsense . Nigerian will always remain Nigerian . Can a Leopard change the color of his skin?. I pray that what we cannot get from the years of labour on vain and empty ventures God will give us by his Favour in 2019.let us look unto God and not unto SEM/Donald

  209. @davies; Please do not believe any SEM representative for now. The only spokesman for SEM is Barr. Donald. He has kept every secret to himself. The only thing SEM is planning now is how to make Cheques available to outlets chairmen for disbursement.This plan will not be made public. Any chairman that reveals SEM disbursement secret will do so at his or her own risk. SHALOM.

  210. my chairman sent an audio on our whatsapp group where one sem representative said dat frf wl b paid ds dec. he said benefiaries wl rceive text msgs from sem, dat we wl take d text msg to our varous outlets for frf payment. he said Donald is in d country already. d guy also said dsbursement proper wl start in jan & wl run for 8months, dat 10billion wl b given to each outlet. i m expecting sem to dsburse family relief fund ds dec. any short of ds means dat sem is a…..

  211. @COLLINS THE NEWS IN D LINK U POSTED IS PURELY A CBN INITIATIVE. I DON’T SEE ANY COLLABORATION B/W SEM & CBN. IF THERE IS CAN U SHED MORE LIGHT? SEM HAS TO ACT TO PROOF HUNTERS INT’L, ONLINE NATIONS NEWSPAPER & OTHER DOUBTING THOMASES THAT THE PROG IS NOT SCAM. THE TIME TO SO IS NOW

  212. @Collins; This program by CBN is different from SEM grant.The CBN program is Agric loan. I attended the 3 months CBN training program last year and I applied for the loan since January 2018. I am waiting for the CBN Agric loan & SEM grant. I believe I will get both. Lets expect something from SEM this week after last week silence. SHALOM

    This is the apc Nigeria game, to claim that they are the one giving the grant. Well , the most important thing is that is confirming the fact that the grant is coming by January latest.
    Kingdom wealth, having been owned by osibanjo wife is though an apc and federal government program.

  214. @ Daniel
    Don’t post such here.
    We have all heard or read about it.
    It is normal, since SEM is too quiet.
    Newspapers want their papers to sell, so they look for attractive infos to give piple.

  215. PLS HAVE U PEOPLE READ ONLINE NATON OF TODAY? IT SAYS SEM HAS SCAMMED OF #55B. MY PHONE IS SMALL I WUD HV COPIED & PASTED IT HERE. THIS IS TIME FOR DONALD/SEM TO DISBURSE THIS LONG AWAITED GRANT. @ AK PLS UPDATE US

  216. I don’t like giving information, especially when is not about money on beneficiaries hand :but I choose to do this because I received a revelation about this last night from my spiritual guidian and the sign showed up this morning.

    My outlet has called for meetings of directors and ceo to get ready their document to travel to Abuja latestly next week to receive the outlet own share of disbursement.

    I also confirm that disbursement is in batches from now till end of January :every NGO and or outlets will not be called at the same day, time or week.

    1. Thanks for this info….I’m encouraged….. Even thou my zone will not be among the first batch….all I know is I will get mine…. If you rejoice when you get yours, I will rejoice with you bcs it is certain that I will get mine….. Faith is the substance of things hope for the evidence of things not seen…. But I must buy cow for Christmas sha o

  217. Some of you on this platform are so clueless. You are here wasting energy and fighting over nothing. You’d better go to your coordinators and force them to give you information and stop killing yourselves over nothing. People will start receiving their money and you will still be here fighting. Awon keyboard warriors ?

  218. Barr. Donald is back. He said that disbursement will definitely commence this year(December). At present SEM office is being put in order. 100% assurance of disbursement to commence this December. If disbursement should fail this month then call it a scam…..SEM has already opened an account for each Outlets. All outlets PDs(Chairmen) will be notified directly by SEM, not through the NCs. Mode of communication is either by Text message or direct phone contact.——–SHALOM

  219. As for AK investigation, if EFCC can not provide any case charge for SEM and this grant, it is partly good news and partly sad news. Let’s just keep watching until December ends.
    @ Blaise
    We forgive your error.
    Kindly share with us how we too can have access to alternative grants.
    Share the secret so we should not rely on SEM grant alone.

  220. SEM have raised our hope for two years with nothing to show for it.
    Donald, why?
    What have we done to deserve this suffering.
    Some of us have been called names for just bringing others to benefit from the same grant expecially the poor and less educated ones, yet nothing positive seems to be coming from it. Lord please have mercy, cover our shame.

  221. @BLAISE I AM NOT A BOY BUT A GROWN MAN. IF U READ MY COMMENT B/W LINES, U WILL SE A PROVISO THERE WHICH SAYS ‘IF U DO NOT CHANGE’ IF I WERE NOT A BELIEVE I WOULD NOT SAY THAT. THANK GOD U HAVE WITHDRAWN THE COMMENT & D THERE WILL BE NO EFFECT ON U. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COME TO GET UPDATES ONLY 4 SOME TO TOY WITH PEOPLE’S EMOTION.S & FEELINGS. AK PLS WE MEED UR UPDATES DON’T STOP GIVING US UPDATES. LET CARRIERS OF FAKE UPDATES DESIST FROM IT.

  222. @blaise, so now that you have admitted to have lied ;please can you tell us the NGO that you got the grant from so that your people can access such too?

  223. @Daniel dont listen to Emperor,blaise even Austin
    We shud wait for Ak to update us on d finding oo
    @Ak how can we get update from u pls
    Reply tanks

  224. @ Daniel, I believe you are a Christian and Muslim what u hv said is not expected from a believer. truly I have received a grant alert yesterday but it is not a grant related to SEM. immediately I saw the alert, I did not check who sent it until I discover that it was a grant I applied for outside SEM. I’m SO rry if I have step on toes.

  225. SO DISBURSEMENT HAS NOT STARTED & BLAISE SAID HE HAS GOTTEN ALERT, I CAN TAKE THAT OF @EMPEROR WITH A PINCH OF SALT B/C THERE IS RUMOURS THAT NCS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. BUT FOR @BLAISE TO DECEIVE OLD MEN & WOMEN WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH TO BE HIS PARENT, IF HE DOES NOT CHANGE HE SHALL BE LIED TO FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

  226. FROM MY OUTLET CHAIRMAN; This grant is 500% real.Believe it or not, Barr. Donald has done his own part, so everything is ready.The time table has been out since Monday but still kept low bcos they are looking at faster ways of the cheques getting to the Chairmen thereby preventing everyone from travelling to Abuja. By tomorrow all arrangements will be in place and made known to the State Coordinators via their NGOs. SHALOM

  227. @Blaise, take it easy with the lie? What do you hope to gain by this? Check who sent you the alert because as far as I am concerned, it’s not from SEM! Reasons? Mr Donald is not even back in Nigeria and has not disbursed to the outlets yet.. I just confirmed from my outlet chairman under kingdom wealth that they have agreed to disburse through them but Mr Donald is yet to disburse to them. So, the only obstacle to our grants now is Mr Donald!!

    1. As far as I am concern, the earliest time the grant may be disbursed is close to February 2019 or literally lets assume Mr. Donald will only show up therebout schedule. Life will be simple if we all leaves in reality instead of dying slowly in the world of rumour and prolong anxiety. Let everyone celebrate Christmas within the limit of their pocket and see you all in good health by Gods grace in the New year.

  228. @Frank; My brother not now that disbursement has started. Let us appreciate this site that has brought us together to encourage ourselves .There are other benefits from this site apart from SEM grant.If your post is deleted ,it is not intentional as earlier stated by the moderator. I have also experienced it , the only thing I do is to reconstruct my post and it will be accepted. The main focus now is on disbursement.I believe the good news will go round with time. SHALOM

  229. This forum is a joke! I think we should create a whatsapp group where every voice will be represented without interference or infringement or risk deleting. Any one else with me?

  230. @blaise, were you paid directly by your outlet or the sem paid you directly? Do you think they will still pay another after this one you are paid? Please which zone and state are you?

  231. @blaise; Congrats, I believe that should be for family Support as predisbursement. The project Fund will follow soon. Barr.Donald said it will be Sudden & Secret Disbursement. He is a wise man. Happy survival to all. SHALOM.

  232. Pls which ngo/outlet has been paid sy that i can call my outlet c/dan. They don’t get info. They rely on me for updates. Is it frf they are paying? We need clarifiations pls

  233. GOOD EVENING HOUSE. PLS CAN SOME OTHER UPDATE US AS PER @EMPEROR UPDATE ABT DISBURSEMENT? WE HAD SIMILAR UPDATES IN AUGUST HOW CHEQUES WERE ISSUED TO NGOS & PEOPLE SAID HERE THAT THEY CONFIRMED THE CHEQUES. @ AK PLS URE ABJ UPDATE US

  234. CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!

    My uncle who is a national coordinator called me this morning to pass a good news that disbursement started today,
    First batch disbursement has commenced and there started with the high ranking mfo’s going to the least,
    He also said that from now till January ending, both first batch and second batch disbursement would have been completed.

    1. The Moderator is clueless by deleting some uthentic comments from people that has first hand information regarding this long awaiting SEM grant. What a shame? Incompetent Moderator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. @Daniel : Am around, just waiting for my contacts feedback. He asked me if the wall was painted (he attested the sticker is theirs). I said no, and went ahead to describe the environment where the office situated. He said OK, he will dig further, I should just exercise some patience. Am being careful, this platform can’t be trusted from all indications. They might be using my info to counter my findings. My contact said I should keep infos to myself for now. So, this might be my last post on this investigation. We pray disbursement commences.

  235. Thanks all. I really appreciate you all. I will post more update as I’m able to connect with my main man.. Thanks.

    What is delaying disbursement?

    Nothing, absolutely Nothing..

    All obstacle have been resolved.

    All we are waiting for is the timetable to be officially released by SEM anytime from this moment..

    We can’t all be contacted in the same day.. We have about 8 Thousand Outlets under the first batch..

    All outlets have been divided to 4 Zones . remember when we as signed the Collateral Register, we ere divided to 7Zones. But to speedy up disbursement, We have been zones to 4… South, East, West and South.

    All outlets PDs will be notified directly by SEM.. Not through the NC or NGOs.

    Mode of communication is either by Text message or direct phone contact.

    All PDs and Secretaries of our outlets should get the following ready..

    1. 4 passport photographs each

    2. Utility Bills (Nepa bill or Water rate bills or land use charge receipt)

    3. Mode of identification (Voters Card or National ID Card)

    4. The original Outlet certificate

    Please, make photo copies of all The documents listed above..
    Reason for all these documents is to enable us perfect the documentation of the account SEM have already opened for each outlets.

    That’s all I can say for now. Let’s wait for the official release of the timetable.

    God bless us all for the opportunity to serve..

    Congratulations ..

  236. @Law; Yes it is count down to disbursement.Backward never, Forward ever.God has answered our prayers. Testimonies will soon follow. It is our strong faith that will bring the financial miracle. SEM grant is a miracle.No man can explain a miracle.We can only receive it. Lets keep an eye/ear on our outlet chairmen for their invitation to Abuja any moment. SHALOM

  237. I make bold to say without mincing words that SEM grant is real and never a scam. A lot will definitely fight a good venture. Any venture that will bring light will be first beclouded with very thick dark clouds. The good news is that the dark cloud era is over. Our morning of joy has come. Get set to end the year with good news; by good news, I mean to say your money will be in your account. Worry no more and avoid blame games. Its a new dawn. Expect glad tidings this week as all is set. Stop complaining! Channel that energy to thanking God because all battles are won. God bless Donald. God bless SEM. God bless all that keyed in. Your waiting is never in vain.

  238. @Frank; No Government official(EFCC, CBN etc) can give you any good information about SEM grant. This is Non- governmental (NGO) affairs. SEM has not committed any financial crime by promising me & you grant for our project. Grant is not a crime anywhere in the world. Most grants all over the world does not support govt. interference. EFCC cannot probe any grant that comes to Nigeria including FIFA grants to NFA.If Nigeria should try it FIFA will ban Nigeria like they have banned Sierra Leone. What EFCC investigated was the source of the grant money found in SEM domiciliary account. That money belongs to you & I(me). SHALOM

  239. @Ak.. please, any update yet from your EFCC guy? I don’t wanna put any hope on this grant anymore until he has confirmed that this thing is not a scam..

  240. Barr. Donald is back. He said that disbursement will definitely commence this year(December). At present SEM office is being put in order. 100% assurance of disbursement to commence this December. If disbursement should fail this month then call it a scam…..SEM has already opened an account for each Outlets. All outlets PDs(Chairmen) will be notified directly by SEM, not through the NCs. Mode of communication is either by Text message or direct phone contact.——–SHALOM

  241. @Bernd; Happy to hear from you.The information I got this morning said if we do not see timetable today , all chairmen & secretary should prepare to go to Abuja. SEM meeting & conclusion with NCs last week is enough prove that SEM is ready to Disburse. The next meeting is with the Outlets chairmen which will be strickly for disbursement. Barr Donald has vowed that disbursement is this year. When a christian vows in the name of the Lord, no human being can stop him. I strongly believe that Barr. Donald is going to take a radical decision against the devil & the Govt. to disburse any moment from now. The timetable we are expecting was suggested to SEM by the NCs. If Barr. Donald did not approve it that mean he has decided to invite all chairmen to Abuja any moment from now. As I speak my Outlet chairman is already preparing for Abuja. ——–SHALOM

  242. For some weeks now @Austin and his comments have been the only source of hope and light on this platform. But considering he mentioned a certain disbursement list will be out Monday and today he retraced his steps and said ‘SEM will definitely act this week’ makes me begin to believe that even he is no longer sure of this scheme or should I say scam…well Austin while I applaud your positivity and the comments, please give us accurate information, a lot of people have fast lost hope. Only disbursement now can enliven this platform again…thanks , stay blessed.

  243. Imagine, ‘underground disbursement’ . What an unstraight and unsecured life. Anything can happen in Nigeria! Hmmm. Receive a call at night. I just laugh . O mamamia, such can only happen in a ‘ great country’ like Nigeria. This movie will end well : ‘to God be the glory’

  244. Gentle men and Ladies this is really not the time for blame games but should there be any reason to blame anybody @ this point in time, it should be Sem/Donald no longer Ngo, Ceo, Ncs, Pds nor anyone else.

    Come to think about it for those that said Sem/Donald is not owing us, have u forgotten that promise is a debt and should not be made if u know u do not have anything to give out.

    Therefore courtsy demands u should apologys in a case were u have pledged in error.

    What we should be talking about now is timetable for disbursment anything short of that is totally unaceptable otherwise Sem/Donald should come out to do one out of the two below
    1.Tell the general Public that yes he promised grant but unfortunately d money is no more coming forth.
    2.Start disbursment imidiately without further delays.

    Permit me to let u know that there’s a level/lenght of time u will beg for something (Assistance) wen it later comes after u have lost hope, showing appreciation becomes difficult. Whatever that should be done, should be done now. Thanks

  245. SOME RECENT COMMENTS HAVE MADE ME SUSPECT SOME PEOPLE ON THIS PLATFORM. THEY EITHER REP. THE OF NCS, PDS OR SEM. THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT A PROGRAM 2YRS AGO? THAT PEOPLE DID NOT PAY TO DONALD BUT WE PAID MONEY B/C OF A PROG DONALD BROUGHT, BUT ALL THE OUTLETS PAID A SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF MONEY TO SEM FOR REGISTRATION. THAT WE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT MONEY WE NEVER GAVE TO KEEP. THE QUESTION IS DID WE GO TO SEM KNOCKING ON THEIR DOOR & BEGGING FOR MONEY? IT WAS SEM THAT CALLED US TO COME FOR MONEY. IF THEY KNEW THEY WERE NOT CAPABLE OF FULFILING THEIR PROMISE, SEM WOULD HAVE THE ‘SLEEPING DOG LYE’. THE QUESTION THAT THE MONEY IS FREE DOES NOT HOLD WATER AS WE HAVE ALL PAID OUR DUES IN FORM OF PAYMENT FOR FORMS, ID CARDS, CERTIFICATES, INSULTS, ABUSES, ABOVE ALL THE PSYCHOLOGICAL & EMOTIONAL TRAUMA. THAT DONALD IS DOING HUMANITARIAN DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PROG MUST NOT HAVE A TIMELINE. WHY HAS SEM KEPT OVER 10M NIGERIANS IN THE DARK’ WHY CANT SEM MAKE A STATEMENT TO CALM TENSION. PITY D MASSES.

  246. @ Colin
    This post you shared has been shared on facebook and telegram platforms. You don’t need to copy and paste it here.
    @ Austin
    Thanks and God bless you for your good jobs here
    @ MC
    Please tell them. Remind them that they did not pay to donald. Donald never collect anything from their #2,500. Donald is just doing humanitarian service…
    Thanks

  247. I want to believe and concur with Mr Austin…… We will surely get the money……if money is not available, they won’t tell us to fill form for nothing….. Besides, they told us they didn’t ask anyone to pay for form, that the money its free…. Which means they really want to help…..and if the money is delayed and they and they gave us reasons, then we should accept it…..they don’t owe us at all…. Many of us has cheated a lot of people even in our day to day live and now we are here complaining about the money we didn’t keep with them…..I think the best we can do is to meet those we give money for form to get it back if worst come to worst if at all is a scam…. Let’s stop abusing and blaming Donard ….. I heard of how Donald went to camp to ask daddy GO to pray for him for grace to disburse money as soon as he comes back and when he landed he found out they have done frauds by replacing some names with fake names…..greedy idiots that surpose help us but they want more to themselves….. Awon oloriburuku aniyan….. Make them and their family nor enjoy the money in Jesus name…Amen

    1. I understand mc point of view but one thing is certain Donald is the head of this grant.he is responsible for every thing Success or failure. Seem is owing people big yes I said so.seem commissioned NGO s and corporatives to mobilize for the grant.the NGOs collected money on half of seem in the open.chairmen paid heavily some paid up to a million and less greedy ones collected above 150k.on behalf of seem in the open.seem kept quiet on till it became too late before their warning to people vnot to pay.when people have signed ucr.a friend of mine went to see to register they told him to go to an NGO .the NGO collected 350k from him.seem is very responsible for everything. My prayer is that they should have mercy on people for the sake of God if they believe him I’m begging them.or they should tell the people that they failed and arrest the NGO heads for reparations. Thank you.

  248. @Collins; No Good farmer will plant on a virgin land without clearing the farmland and removing every obstacles that will affect the crops from planting to harvesting. Barr.Donald is a lawyer and knows the implications of legal actions from stakeholders against SEM. Having cleared all obstacles by reaching documented aggreements with stakeholders, SEM will definitely act this week.Lets hope that SEM will make up for all delays. SHALOM

  249. What other justification are we going to give to the SEM for not disbursing or stopping the people from calling this program a scam?

    1)disbursement was shifted to March for no reason and afterwards to may – June.

    2)Then suddenly on May-June, it was reported that there were duplications of data which culminated to the SEM shifting disbursement to October.

    3)Then October, the issue of nammca and NC on each others toes that brought about the efcc issue came up :and that shifted to November .

    4)Then in November the issue of vice president and his economic matrix to shift the disbursement till next year came up, and the SEM were forced to start disbursement this year and been reminded by the people their various promises and how miserable beneficiaries to this grant has been and will be if they refuse to disburse this year :that they should at least disburse the 5% social welfare money first and the remaining ones next year. But at this junction, it seem that the SEM are now stocked with no other lies to tell and they are now coming up with the fact that they are not ready yet.

    *Be this a rumour or fabrication ;SEM should know that no other lies can be told to the people who has been so patient like never and some had lost their lives along the line waiting for this grant. As much as God will take his avenge on the players of this dangerous fraud, the Nigerian youths will unleash their anger and venom on the perpetrators first before anything.

    Every arrangement and actions of the organisers of this program right from the onset had been pointing to an organised fraud :but because of the present economic hardship in the country and for the fact that men and women of repute were involved in all these : made people to continue to yield as if they lack the prerequisite wisdom. But I think that this joke has been taken too far and people’s name and personality has been dragged to the mud :the time to act is now and never.

    If all of this is exactly what it seem to be.. an organised fraud, the apc as a party and the government of the day will never be exonerated from all of this. It is best called “a national fraud”, because no working government will insist that she is not aware of this program that is more popular in the nation than a political party in an election :hence the silence of the government, is a sure pointer to the fact that they are an accomplice. Let all hell loose if Donald and SEM refuse to speak after this week and there still remain no clear times table to the process of disbursement

    1. @The Truth. Desist from this kind of comment here. Be inform that this site has been move to another web server after an upgrade due to limited resource. If your comment(s) is/are deleted know that it is not intentional.

      1. @Emma: why is it that your upgraded system deletes only comments from some particular persons? You are not telling us the truth. You aren’t dealing with kids OK. I will suggest we open up a tread on this issue on nairaland for those of us who want to hear undiluted truth.

        1. @ AK UR UPDATE ON THE EFCC SAGA WAS DELETED SOME MINUTES IT WAS POTED. WHAT’S THE LATEST. HAS UR EFCC FRIEND REACH OUT TO U? THE ADMIN OF THIS SITE ARE TRYING TO BE FUNNY. INFORM US IF U ARE OPENING A TREAD SO WE MOVE THERE. I STAND FOR D TRUTH & WANT TO HEAR UNDILUTED TRUTH ABOUT THIS GRANT

  250. @ Austin,
    Keep it up with your encouraging comments.
    @ Omotayi
    The fact that you get different comment from different outlet chairmen does not make it a scam. They are all right in their own views.
    Donald is not firm
    NGOs are greedy
    Those that formed NAMCCA, who invited EFCC,
    They all contributed to they delay…

  251. @omtayi, all them are telling you the truth because all of them (donald, NC and Chairmen) are involve in this conspiracy it just depend who u ask and from where the person is getting his info. if the person is getting info from the chairman, he will blame the NC. if he is getting his info from the NC, he will blame chairmen and if he is getting info from both, they will heap the blame on them. the lastest info i heard is the outlets will be paid in this month thereby the chairmen, dir and sec including the volunteer workers will receive their own chunk while the beneficiaries will get the part early next year. i heard this from my state coord.

  252. 3 CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE FOR SEM GRANT; (1) Those that do not believe , even when they get it will not enjoy it.(2) Those that believe but will not live to enjoy it.(3) Those that believe and will live to enjoy it. DESTINY AT WORK. Where do you belong?.You mouth can confess it. PLS. BE CAREFUL.————-SHALOM

  253. I PRAY IT WORKS. DONALD WHEREVER HE IS MUST MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE. IF @ AK COMMENT CONCERNING EFCC IS TRUE THEN IT’S A NATIONAL SCAM. AK SAID HIS EFCC FRIEND SAID THAT HE IS NOT AWARE OF EFCC CASE WITH SEM. SO AK SENT D PIC OF EFCC SEAL ON SEN OFFICE TO HIM FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. IF ITS A SCAM, THEN THE BODY OF CHIST IS IN TROUBLE

  254. HAPPY NEW MONTH. I hereby confirm that the much awaited Time Table for Abuja trip is ready.After Com.Donald’s endorsement, SEM will communicate details directly to the Project Directors of the Outlets. Com.Donald is expected back this weekend.Expect the final release of Time Table to the Public hopefully on Monday.This is CONFIRMED—– SHALOM

  255. Arms on deck for a categorical statement from Barr Donald to the generality of the beneficiaries (not coordinators or directors or his workforce this time) but the donors’ destined poor/targets.

  256. I am beginning to doubt the authenticity of this grant.
    Ask me why ???
    I took my time to visit 3 different cooperative HQs today in Abuja. All in my quest to get genuine and workable updates from them. But to my greatest surprise, all the so called updates are at variance with each other
    One of the coop heaped all their blames on Barr Donald for not being firm
    The other coop blame the National Coordinators for being too greedy
    Lastly comes the blame for Namcca for being too radical
    WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO ? GOLGOTHA ABI ?
    CAN’T GOOD THINGS EVER WORK IN NIGERIA ? IS NIGERIA A CURSED NATION ?
    I’M FEELING FRUSTRATED

  257. Now that the ball is in Donalds court, he should not punish us further after so many months of expectation. Let him disburse this grant as matter of urgency as some beneficiaries are sick, frustrated and dying of hunger. Some are even dead.
    Donald, please use your good office to save us from this dilemma.

  258. HAPPY SURVIVAL TO ALL. November 2018 is the last month of our poverty on Earth. It is the faith of the people that brings down the blessings of God. All the riches in Nigeria that was taken away by our Colonial Masters is coming back in form of Grant to Nigeria. Nature has a way of bringing back what belongs to the people. SHALOM SHALOM SHALOM

  259. SEM has achieved a permanent cease fire so far from EFCC & NCs this month.Nothing will stops SEM from disbursing in December 2018. It will be a busy month for outlets chairmen as SEM will shift the burden of disbursement to them. Barr. Donald should be back this weekend unannounced.He is eagar to work directly with outlets chairmen for the rapid take off of The Social Exchange Market which starts with disbursement to individuals as beneficiaries(BOTTOM UP PROJECT) SHALOM.

  260. Daniel don’t be upset.my own is let they pay somebody this year then we will have hope.they should pay NGOs and chairmen and mobilize them to pay beneficiaries. You have to mobilize the outlets for proper order .so that they will pay us January,

  261. @ekson this is a lie from d pit of bell. It can never happen. Paying cmen, sect & dirs can never be contempleted. Their lives & property wud be in danger. Any payment that will not take upto abt 80% of beneficiaries will not work

  262. @AK; NCs & SEM must have agreed at a venue during their last meeting. I surely believe SEM does not have one office at Abuja.SEM officials are reachable any time they need NCs & Outlets chairmen attention. SEM & Outlets offices will be fully operational after disbursement. The only people that SEM needs now are the people that signed the UCR with them( NCs & Outlets Chairmen/Directors). SEM does not need an office to invite the Chairmen to Abuja just like they did not need that office to invite the NCs for the last meeting which was recorded. I don’t need an office to see my outlet chairman. We call eachother on phone and we aggree on where to meet. But after disbursement offices will be fully operational.That is what bottom Up project is all about. SHALOM

  263. @Austin. Please where are they expected to submit this letter and list? The unseen underground office or SEM office at Utako that is still not operational for almost 2 months now. Please more clarification. Thank you.

  264. Now that sem is ready to do the needful.I suggest to them to set out 10 trained staff.divide the chairmen into 10 groups of 1000 each.and run the program for ten days.it means that each of the ten staff will attend to 100 each day.50 people from 9 _12 and another 50 from 12 to 4pm. They will train for 2 hours and sign check for 2 hours.in tens days all the chairmen are trained and settled. Then the chairman will be 10 days to settle all beneficiaries. Evry body will be happy and go home

  265. Now that the NGOs have accepted to discontinue their selfish & greedy agitation, SEM asked all NGOs to write a letter of acceptance that SEM should disburse directly to the OUTLETS without interference. SEM also asked them to submit all principal Directors list and outlets list together with the letter of acceptance to SEM office on or before 12am yesterday morning. I believe all of them must have submitted by now.We are waiting for SEM to release the timetable any time from now. Please keep an eye/ear on your outlet chairman & GET READY FOR THE FINANCIAL REVOLUTION IN NIGERIA THIS YEAR . SHALOM

  266. The Lord has done it!!! NGOs succumbed to SEM to disburse directly to the outlets. Timetable and necessary requirements for disbursement to be released on Friday. Congratulations!!!

  267. those pensioner who apply for the grant,many are dying, since 2014 we always years grant , baba Donal why now? if you know fit help why taken long cardinal. can anybody tel us the next step? NGO Gladiator, Dornal The Jakaban

  268. Even if SEM decides to invite all chairmen to Abuja for verification at once, we have a new church auditorium now at Abuja that can seat one hundred thousand people.It was opened last week, the biggest in the world. Our chairmen cannot even occupy a quarter(1/4) of the auditorium. Nothing can delay this disbursement again. The chairmen should prepare to go to Abuja. I wish Barr Donald will return with more money/approval from the donors, because the 1st batch has exceeded the budget and he need to bring some of the money meant for the 2nd batch to avoid shortage of fund during disbursement. SHALOM

  269. @Falabi; It is confirmed. During the UCR signing the chairmen went to Abuja with their secretaries.This time,it is only the chairmen that will go. I said they will be divided into 4 zones on different days. The reason for the verification exercise is to know those that are still alive and confirm their detail b/4 releasing their cheque.They will also be briefed accordingly to ensure smooth disbursement. SHALOM

  270. @Austin that issue of inviting chairmen for verification before cheque collection sounds like old news or its not correct. Do we know the amount of outlet chairmen we have already? Why bring everyone to Abuja and to what venue? Please confirm but welldone for the updates…

    1. Only the chairman signing for the cheque? How’s that a wise decision? This is an outlet of atleast 1000 members. Am still trying to confirm this update, here in Abuja.

  271. Thanks Austin for update. I also heard that Bar donald is about to give donors reports that everything is set for disbursement. House please, confirm. Thanks

  272. I have been reliably informed that outlets chairmen will be invited to Abuja any moment from now for verification exercise b/4 collecting their cheques. They may be divided into 4 zones for the exercise. SHALOM

  273. @ Adeniyi,
    “Why they want to pay beneficiaries btw 3 to 4 times ?? Are they babies ?? ”
    I think this was the initial ,means and way that was agreed upon that the money wld be shared. Or are you now saying that about the 10million will be issued to us at once? ? I will be happy if given that big money at once.
    Thanks and Cheers.

  274. @Bako; Barr Donald has not revealed the secret of disbursement.He has repeatedly said disbursement will start any moment.The statement sounds like a fire brigade approach. Hosting about ten thousand chairmen at Abuja is not cost effective. I believe modern technology will be use to effect the disbursement to outlets banks. SHALOM

  275. Our outlets chairmen should be security conscious during & after disbursement because some of these NCs are religious thugs. They can frustrate disbursement like wounded lions. We have known them by their fruits. SHALOM

  276. @ Bako, I am always with you people reading your comments. All the updates are correct. i have no update again than yours. I wonder why NGO leader / NC dont want liberty for outlets. I tell you, God is in control of it. God that deliver isrealites from Egypians will do so for outlets. Some NGO ceo want to tie and enslave chairman / PR and secretaries. Why they want to pay beneficiaries btw 3 to 4 times ?? Are they babies ?? SEM should also divide theirown grant into 4 and give them small small, Only God knows who serve Him. We are still expecting outcome of todays meeting if it is held. Thanks my people

  277. @Gouch; The meeting was concluded later the same day last week. The smart NCs initially rejected but later accepted SEM conditions. At least they are sure of their own share of the grant. Are you still hearing from them.? . What we are waiting for is the invitation of chairmen or direct crediting of outlets banks by SEM. The secret lies with Barr. Donald. Just keep an eye on your outlet chairman for your check which might come secretly and suddenly. HE WHO LAUGH LAST LAUGH BEST. SHALOM.

  278. If you listen to the audio where sister precious spoke on behalf of donald, in the last Thursday’s meeting, you will see how the national cords were laughing, making jest and catching fun at the mercy of corperative chairmen, and the eagerly waiting participants.
    There is God ooooo!

  279. The NCs will be settled secretly this week , but I fear the anger of God on some of them before the end of the year.The love for money is the root of all evils. SHALOM

  280. Barr Donald for long needed a firm stand on his approach to do what he is just about to do. He was too too gentle to have allowed meddling especially by the coordinators. He needed no one to detect for him. what was essential were only suggestions from them, not decision.
    In fact, the recent operational secrecy particularly required. Let him fear nothing but God!

  281. Please keep an eye on your outlet chairman. IT IS COUNTDOWN TO DISBURSEMENT. Barr. Donald is keeping a lot of secrets to ensure the success of SEM grant. He has successfully overcomed every obstacle (EFCC, Politicians,NCs etc.). The burden of SEM will soon be transfered to the Outlets chairmen any moment they are invited to Abuja for their cheques. The enemy called POVERTY will end with this year. Please do not spend more than 5% of grant for end of year celebrations. SO SHALL WE ALL ENTER THE NEW YEAR WITH RICHES . SHALOM.

  282. From my findings, the early message that said there was no agreement b/w SEM and NCs on the modality of disbursement was true initially , but after their meeting, another meeting was held among the NCs till late evening where they persuaded themselves to agree with SEM. Donald was reportedly not around but called and spoke with them during the meeting.Their conclusion is that ” Disbursement will commence unannounced any moment from now” . We are assured that all issues that had caused the delay in disbursement of the grant have been resolved.The country director will be back in the country soon and the chairmen will be invited to Abuja for disbursement. Rest assured that it will happen before the end of the year. SHALOM

  283. I must confess, SEM is the greatest suffering i have ever had in my life. I have never had such a long unfufilled promises like this. It is killing.
    Greedy Pastors / NCs, please save us from this dilemma.
    SEM have exposed reasons why this country can never move forward.
    If some of christain leaders are greedy and thieves, then what do we expect from the goverment? Its a pity.
    Donald, please overlook the thieves and help us. Mantain your focus as you have started.

  284. Barr. Donald said SEM grant has made him to realise that the greatest sin is UNBELIEVE. Anyone that does not believe SEM grant is a sinner that needs deliverance.That settles your case @Joe Alex.

  285. In my NGO the chairman paid over 3.5 million for this project. He paid for many beneficiaries for certificate and id card and yet promised everybody that they will collect their money in full that is called service. That is called Christianity.yet the ngos that collected all these money and did not mobilize any body are still upon sitting on millions of improverished masses are still demanding to be in charge.They have no shame at all.let god help us and them if sem hands over to fg.we the masses will come after them one by one.the monkeys and baboon will be soaked in blood.sem never authorized collection of money from outlets yet the NGO s milked people and did nothing.

  286. Millions of Nigerians were forced to join the NGOs, COOPs etc . because of SEM grant. The NCs are going on Tuesday or this week to decide; (1) To retain or gain or lose members (2) Their safety, safety of their families & properties (3) To retain or refund money collected from members. ACTIONS AND REACTIONS ARE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE . SHALOM

  287. I concluded there are 3 categories of piple in every platform. Some are in support of the cooperatives, and some in support of NCs and some neutral.

    Now, I want to beg everybody in the name of God Almighty, if you have access to those leaders who represent you in Abuja meetings, kindly send messages to them before Tuesday.
    Tell them to bury the hatches.
    Remind them this life is short, and doesn’t worth being selfish.
    Let them bury all the “egos”
    United we stand, divided we fall together.
    I agree each of the 2 parties have reasons that disbursement should be done through them, but one has to let go for another.
    Remind them that
    “The blessing of the Lord bringeth wealth, and add no trouble to it.”
    The “troubles” they are adding to God’s blessing may not make the blessing last for them.
    Let them realize it’s not how much, but how well they use the money…
    Remind them the destiny of Millions of Nigerians are attached to their decision.
    Kindly send messages to other groups/platforms, until they all read.
    Thanks…

  288. @collins; Barr. Donald is not an accountant.The process of disbursement is pure accounting. The SEM GM should be able to finish the necessary accounting work required for disbursement before reaching out for Barr Donald to give the final instruction/signature for disbursement. That is why Barr. Donald is insisting that Disbursement will start as soon as he is available. Every delay in payments in most cases is from accounts Dept. Then like @BlessedMike has rightly said, it is his SAFETY FIRST. SHALOM

  289. dilemma behind this grant is the Inconsistent information that is spread. Many information has been passed as regards the availability of Donald and his absents :whether he is around now or he is Coming back and when. We need clarification on when Donald will come

  290. Let us educate ourselves a bit as we expect the sudden disbursement of this grant. Outlets chairmen are the foundation of SEM.They must have a unique selling point(USP) to survive.They must be able to encourage their members(grant beneficiaries) to expand their business through loans & credit facilities with little interest .The Outlet chairmen should not think they are collecting free money from SEM.They will work for this money and generate money for the survival of their outlets and SEM. EFCC & CBN will watch over you. Beneficiaries should not think they are collecting free money. This money is to motivate you to work. Be ready to pay more tax to the govt. like in advance countries. Remember the parable of the Talent (Matt.25:14 –30). We shall all give account of this money one day. SHALOM

  291. @Paul; From my last post Barr. Donald did not mention anything like starting with 4 NGOs. SEM is not paying through the NGOs. SEM is dealing directly with outlet chairmen. In Bottom Up projects, Beneficiaries pay tax(10%) to their Outlet and each Outlet pay to SEM. It is during the process of disbursement that the Outlets and SEM can get money to run their business.Everything starts from Beneficiary —>Outlet—>SEM. After disbursement , The Outlets will be mobilised to start work.The 10% deducted from each beneficiary is more than enough to register each outlet with CBN and run their business as a Micro finance bank. That is why EFCC & CBN will supervise disbursement. The more Outlets SEM opens(During 2nd batch) the more money for SEM. The business of SEM will fully start after disbursement.The money that SEM has now is for disbursement. SHALOM

  292. THE TRUTH IS BITTER BUT THIS IS CONFIRMED UPDATE

    Update from king David’s group. Very authentic as against what has been flying around.

    I wish to welcome us all to a new day. Every day comes with renewed hope as long as we live to see it.
    A lot of anxiety was built up following yesterday’s meeting between NCs and SEM. As usual lots of fake fabricated stories filled the air.
    The reasons for this stories were not far fetched as they reflected the different intentions of warring and opposing groups.
    We the admins had gone extra lenghts obtaining forensic evidence from different sources to ascertain the true content of the meeting.
    The major facts we obtained are as follows:
    1. He was not physically present but represented by his GM and SEM Officials.
    2. SEM is still working to effect the process and assured the NCs that the grant is available and real
    3. That the money will be released any moment once Mr Donald becomes “openly available” and that is dependent entirely on him
    4. The GM put a call across to Mr Donald in the hearing of the NCs to allay their fears and assured them that he’s disbursing immediately “he arrives”
    5. He warned them to control restless chairmen who are using namcca to create problems and also provided a report center for any erring chairmen
    6. He assured that all issues with efcc are fully resolved so obviously the office remains locked at his instruction
    7. He categorically said” ANY MOMENT FROM NOW, DISBURSEMENT WILL BEGIN”
    8.MOA signing to commence next week for NGOs yet to do so
    In the light of all these ,we still continue to encourage continuous prayers that the hand of God may guide and stir those in charge of this project to a speedy conclusion that the sufferings of the masses may come to an end.

  293. These national cords are ridiculous and greedy.after milking the people and the bank directors and promising them heaven and earth.are they illiterates or what.they said it is bottom up and now because they want to cover their tracks.Donald cannot follow top bottom he could go jail for that.the half illiterates should know that.for the people saying Donald is not around he does not Ned to.Donald is posing as sem consultant notvthe CEO so he does need to be around

  294. The Old School / Half education or Over education of the NCs is really affecting them. Who will explain the meaning of Bottom Up Project to the NCs.? SEM can only disburse from the bottom(grassroots) and not from the Top (NCs). That is why UN called it BOTTOM UP PROJECT. From the bottom to the top. Nigeria is ruled from the top to the bottom. This grant is disbursed from the Bottom(grassroot) to the Top(NCs/Stake holders).THE NATURAL WAY TO THE TOP IS DOWN ……..SHALOM.

  295. THERE IS ANOTHER VERSION THAT THE MEETING HELD YESTERDAY WAS SUCCESSFUL. THAT DONALD WAS REP BY HIS GM & STAFF. THAT DONALD SPOKE TO THE NCS ON PHONE & ASSURED THAT DISBURSEMENT WILL COMMENCE WHEN HE (DONALD) IS BACK. THE QUESTION IS WHEN WILL HE COME BACK? THERE IS ANOTHER TRENDING STORY (PLS NOT FROM ME) THAT THE NAT C/MAN OF NAMCCA HAD A MEETING WITH PEOPLE & INFORMED THEM THAT DONALD HAS RAN AWAY. THAT DONALD HAS NOT BEEN SEEN FOR 5 MONTHS NOW. THE PROTEST WHICH I MENTIONED SOMETIME AGO HAS STARTED ONLINE. FB IS AWASH WITH SEM GRDNT STORIES. DON’T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING ON WHATSAP &TWITER. GOD HELP US.

  296. There are 2 options now.
    Only 2 ways forward.
    It’s either the NGOs change their mind, OR the corperatives compromise for the NGOs.
    If they can’t do any, on Teusday, the fund may be handed over to the federal govt, which will favour the National cords.
    The chairmen and secretaries will be the losers. And the beneficiaries they collected moneys from will definitely be on their neck.
    The foundation was faulty, the NCs have been greatly empowered by SEM from the beginning, SEM can make correction, if there will be 2nd batch.

  297. They have been boxed to a corner by SEM, they have no option other than accepting SEMs disbursement method or everybody will lose out by the time Donald handover the program to Federal govt.

  298. OH GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST OUR HOPE FOR YEARS TO COME. The fact is that Barr. Donald said SEM want to start calling Chairmen to come for their cheques at Abuja starting from next week Monday but NCs said no, that they should be the one to be in charge of disbursement. The NCs that encouraged us to pray from the beginning are now the stumbling block of this grant. We cannot serve God and Money. Time will tell. SHALOM

  299. can we locate these coordinators and talk sense into their head? This headache they have caused should be enough naa. They are toiling with peoples destiny simply because of their greed

  300. CEOs insists that disbursement should come through them and SEM said NO. CEO s said if Donald disbursed directly to the outlets, they will take SEM to court. Donald said he is going to hand over the program to Federal Govt. and leave the country. CEOs will hold another meeting b/w themselves and report back to SEM on Tuesday. I believe the CEOs should think twice. SHALOM

  301. @ AUSTIN & AK. THANKS & GOD BLESS YOU ALL. PLS KEEP US POSTED M THE LATEST DEVTS. I AM FULLY PERSUADED THAT IT SHALL END ON A POSITIVE NOTE FOR HE (GOD) WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL. IT CAN ONLY BE GOD

  302. A meeting between SEM and National Coordinators will hold today. We believe that this indicates a sense of urgency on the part of SEM to act faster.EFCC & CBN insist on supervicing disbursement to avert diversion of fund.

  303. GOOD MORNING HOUSE. PLS CONFIRM. IS IT TRUE THAT THE MEETING THAT WAS TO BE HELD TODAY WAS HELD OVER NIGHT & THAT THE OUTCOME IS GOODNEWS.

  304. Dear participant,pls note,nobody has been paid yet,issues are being resolved,we shall surely laugh,please be patient.www.socialexchangemarket.org.ng for info.
    .
    .
    My piple, SEM is working tirelessly to disburse d grant..
    I got this message now, in spite of the lock and key rumour.

  305. @MAJOR If the vp is not involed why did he share d forms at RCCG at eket in aks early this yr? Why did they hold a stakeholders meeting in RCCG camp ground on 12/12/17, why has d efcc not alerted nigerians if it were scam even after sealing d office 4 over 3 months? Why has d govt or its agencies quite over it? Nn national daily or television has reported its scam. So if its scam, then not only over 20m nigerians hv bn scammed but the fedg govt of nig inclusive. I rest my case. @AK WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM U

  306. Can’t someone among the coordinators help us out of this dilema? Let somebody tell us the truth . Is there any money to offer us this month?

  307. I really find this very hilarious. you are all actually waiting for this imaginary grant. and that the VP is holding it back. pray tell when did you ever hear the VP talk about this scheme. and if it were real, dont you think the govt would jump at it and ensure that it is disbursed at the shortest possible time and use it as one of their achievements instead of wasting their time with 10k Trader Moni or Npower. Guys please think. there is no grant coming from anywhere.

    These sorts of Grants are done on a government to government basis. and not handed over to one random individual to coordinate.

  308. I Cannot understand what’s really going on this platform. Who deleted all the post made here.Does it mean that SEM is fake and we have been scammed. God help us we are finished. Somebody should say something. Before our blood wiil be on the head of SEM and NGOs for defrauding innocent Nigerians

  309. What is going on underneath? I think we need to do the job of an undercover. Something is definitely going on and the earlier we know now the better for us. Today is 20th NOV and everywhere is silence like this… Our waiting and labour will not be in vain, God please help us.

  310. This Grant stuff keeps reminding of a book I read during my elementary school days, the title of that book is ”One week, one trouble”.. SEM’s own should be titled ”one month, one story”…

  311. @AK PLS LATEST ON THE EFCC SEAL ON SEM OFFICE. MY UPDATES ON NON POLITIZATION OF THIS GRANT HAS BEEN DELETED. THIS GRANT WAS NOT DONATED BY NIGERIAN POLITICIANS. SO ANY ATTEMPT TO USE IT FOR 2019 ELECTIONS SHALL RESULT IN SERIOUS SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCES . I REPEAT ANY ATTEMPT TO USE SOME OTHER PERSM’S SWEAT/HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR/IMPOVERISHED MASSES FOR ELECTIONS SHALL RESULT IN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. EVEN THE OWNERS OF THIS THIS COMMENT, THEY SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO DELETE GOD ALMIGHTY

  312. @Omatayi; That is why I said protest is inevitable. There is nothing wrong with starting disbursement with 4 NGOs but the pressure of extending it to January 2019 from the VP must be resisted. SHALOM

  313. @Ak pls ooo,is wat Austin,Leno and Adeniyi saying is true?pls u give authentic information pls help us find out pls ooo
    is Donald back to d country too?
    Tanks

  314. EFCC seal on SEM office has been removed after heavy payment to EFCC and certificate issued to SEM
    Barr. Donald Olorunkoyede to meet with VP Osinbajo tomorrow ahead of disbursement
    NGO/Outlets/ Directors meetings through next week…

  315. Trending News; 4 out of 36 NGOs to receive disbursement this year.The rest till January 2019. Sadness & Joy as Barr. Donald yields to VP pressure. Delay is deliberate & Protest is inevitable. SHALOM

  316. Last month the Madam was said to be appointed VP of the Disbursement Committee. I tried posting it here but the stuff was taken down.
    Anywhere, let the dragging process continue if it’s God’s Will; the rain will definitely fall one day if the cloud is overloaded with the water it no longer could bear!
    Well done @AK, your posts (perhaps mediation) since Oct 27th/28th to date has really helped sanitize this platform as your comments being routinely watched and proven from the side view by people, and compared with what we have. Keep up, pls! What this platform was turned into some weeks ago was a bit regrettable.
    Regards to all!

    1. @Usi. Thanks man. I don’t some greedy individuals to continue to extort monies from innocent Nigerians. Some of them are already made from this grant stuff when we have not seen any dime yet. I know them on this platform and I will continue to expose their evil intentions. God bless NIGERIA

  317. It is a knwon fact that there’s govt interference in this grant but the ALL WISE, ALL KNOWING, ALL POWERFUL, ALMIGHTY IS BEGGER THAN EVERY INTERFERRENCE. CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS PEOPLE OF OTHER RELEGIONS ARE ALL INVOLVED IN THIS. PEOPLE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT TIMES & SEASONS ARE CONTROLLED BY GOD. THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE IS GOD WHO RULES IN THE AFFAIRS/KINGDOM OF MEN & GIVES IT TO WHOSOEVER HE LIKES.

  318. @BlessedMike, In a community of the deaf & dumb ,we can understand their silence. But in the community of people who can talk & hear ,the bible said there is a time to keep silence and a time to SPEAK( Eccl.3:7).There is no way CNN will not visit SEM office this year. I am seriously working on that. SHALOM

  319. collins:
    From all indications :these money will never come out until after elections and apc leaves the sit. The apc wants to return back to power so desperately because a lot of our money has been stolen and they know what they will face when they loose and moreover their continuous stay is a victory for the fulani herdsmen and Muslim fundamentalist. The apc also believed that this money is brought by Christian organisation who wants to empower the Christians to take out Buhari who only represents the interest of fulani Muslims and they would have also believed that ATIKU obi candidature would get money for their election through this platform too. We are battling with a very big force that we invited by ourselves through the delay of disbursement and troubles between nammca and NC. We are indeed the architect of our own problem.

  320. @Jay one. I don’t know why u are taking panadol for another person’s headace. The person with hernia is not complaining but the neighour is busy shouting that d hernia will kill d person. U want us to know u can speak big grammar. Why not leave us with our gullity? Mr pyschologist & brain cells expert. U think u can come here & insult perple? If most people were to seen one on one, u will never to talk to most people. If one is not interested in an issue he/she should stay. Most of ur type will get this grant & not use it profitably. Even d govt of d day wants a share of this grant

  321. *A BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRANT*

    MANY PEOPLE ARE WONDERING AND ASKING WHEN AND WHY DISBURSEMENT HAVE NOT COMMENCE, TRUELY SEM HAVE BEEN WORKING UNDERNEATH FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE DISBURSEMENT BUT DISBURSEMENT CANNOT COMMENCE WITHOUT THEIR OFFICE BEEN OFFICIALLY OPEN.

    WE THANK GOD THE OFFICE HAS BEEN FULLY OPEN AND MR DONALD IS AROUND NOW (DIRECTORS ARE TRYING TO KEEP THIS ON A LOW KEY).

    THE TRUTH IS THAT SERIOUS WORK IS ONGOING, SO PLEASE BE CALM AS THINGS WILL UNFOLD SOONEST AND AS FOR REGISTERED MEMBERS… YOU ARE TO STAY CLOSE TO YOUR OUTLET.

    THE RETURN OF MR DONALD AND THE WAY THINGS ARE MOVING FAST SHOWS THAT HE MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN ULTIMATUM TO START DISBURSEMENT SOON.

    WHAT EVER THE SITUATION…. WE HAVE BEEN ADMONISHED TO KEEP THE HOPE OF MEMBERS ALIVE AND ALSO KEEP THEM CALM.

    I CANNOT VERIFY WHEN DISBURSEMENT WILL START BUT IT HAS COME TO NIGERIANS.

    PLEASE TELL YOUR MEMBERS NOT TO OVER STRESS THEMSELVES, SOON WE WILL REJOICE.

    *Copied*

  322. Ok @ Austin
    You said Donal should face disbursement charges. Did he make official statement that he will disburse in October? Is it not the NGOs and corperative leaders that were giving falseful date, to calm the tension of their beneficiaries, after collecting illegal moneys from them?
    However, if this year passed away, without disbursement being fulfilled, your protest actions may be justifiable in January.

  323. @BlessedMike, If a man is sleeping and you think he is praying because he is holding a bible. You are glorifying his sleep by keeping quiet. He might wake up too late to grant your heart desire.

  324. @ Austin
    Anybody that avoid or ignore your protest should not be tagged as coward.
    Everybody has reason for doing and undoing things.
    I wish you good luck in your protest, but there are more to it for consideration.
    You can stroll up to read ‘blaise’ comment about this protest, to which I concur.

    @ Jay One
    Why coming here everyday, wasting your megabyte when you know the grant is not real?
    I expect you to have ignore this site completely, but certainly, you secretly hope the grant should come true.
    I know piple like you…

  325. This grant is now or never. Every coward should please stay away. There is no second class citizen in Nigeria. Barr. Donald must be recalled to face disbursement charges which he promised in October 2018. We are using Facebook, You tube , twitter, CNN etc. EFCC after sealing SEM office should get ready to produce Barr. Donald for the disbursement he promised. SHALOM.

  326. @Jay_one or whatever u call urself… fro.ur write u was going to conclude u were reasonable… but then I now thought “if you are not hopeful about the grant, the. Why did u check these platform to see what’s going on??? …
    I advice u to just stay away or monitor quietly…

  327. In Nigeria, no one listens to you until you blow your trumpet. Labor cannot get their 30,000 min wage if they keep quiet. The NC formed an association to protest SEM. NAMCCA was formed to protest.The poor masses are finding it difficult to protest.Faith without work is dead.The population of poor beneficiaries are reducing daily(by death). Protest is not a crime in Nigeria. God brought the Israelite s to the promise land ,but they had to fight to possess it. God brought this grant to Nigeria but we have to fight to possess it. Life is worth living when you fight for the dying masses. SHALOM

  328. To all on this platform : You people still believe that there is a grant waiting for you?. I salute your faith. Can you see what poverty has done to us in this country. Poverty has caused our brain box to migrate to the ‘southern hemisphere’. People cannot think straight and right. So wait till November ending, then keeping hoping and wait till December ending. Ah you are a man of faith oh, wait again till January ending. Keep waiting and hoping. As they say: teachers’ reward is in heaven’ I learnt that some people have lost their lives becos of this grant stuff , hmmm reward in heaven se! Why are black skinned people so gullible. I think we should close this platform so as people here can forget about all this grant issue. So everybody , go home and face your work. Poverty indeed destroys the cells in the brain so that one cannot think right, just believing anything in the name of hope. That is what has happened now. What a gullible mind. I recommend we owner of this platform should bring it down to a close if it is this grant thing that will be the issue in it .Merry Christmas and wishing you prosperous 2019. God bless you all

  329. going ahead with the protest is like telling God that we want to help You to conclude matters about the grant and God will say ok do your best as I handed it over to u. Remember that there is a way that seemeth right before man(protest)… you know the rest. Let us not help God as He doesnt need any man’s help to finish His business.

  330. It is a sad news if they are to delay disbursement till November ending. However, be careful and think twice before you lead any protest.
    Remember the NAMCCA protest brought the EFCC…

  331. D truth ur wish for Me, Donald & Sem has failed and have come back to you as a reward therefore all ur hopes on this grant is dashed. Bye & RIP

  332. Then let’s one of you start it and we follow…. I’m waiting for it….Social Media will go far…. We can involve bloggers to help too…. I dey wait

  333. @Adeniyi In the field of sports our youths outside the country are making it. They do not need to come home for our government to kill their vision as SEM is killing many visions already. Our banks in Nigeria are well equipped to effect disbursement within one week if SEM is serious . We have prayed & fasted for this grant.If we fail to blow our trumpet the Jericho wall will not crumble. The only thing that can wake SEM is the shout of the masses.The social media is the only tool we can use to blow our trumpet & shout for the world to rescue us from SEM insensitivity on this grant. SHALOM.

  334. Good evening house. I suggest we start to strategize who to carry out mass action if nothing happens this month. This is only a suggestion & i shld not be crucified. The mass action can be arranged & carried out simultaneously in all d 36 states plus fct. It is a known fact that the grant is real & we the masses must take d battle to them. Our people in aks use to say that if d first son does not do as if he wants to have sex with d step mother, d father will not marry a wife for him. Let’s think abt it as plan B. GOD BLESS US

    1. @Daniel. That is a good idea, we need to draw the attention of the donors whom Donald has been hiding from everyone . He himself should take a large chunk of the blame. He thinks he knows everything. I go wAKith your plan, we can invite the media to cover the protests. I tell you, Donald will do the right thing ASAP.

  335. @Gouch. Hahahahaha….. We pray it doesn’t go that way, because the repercussions might not palatable. This is what the president of kingdomwealth multipurpose cooperative society told us. Coming back November 30, is a bit late as regards shortlisting and disbursement proper. Well, this is what he told us. All we want is for something serious to commence, not all these cock and bull stories flying left and right every now and then. People are really running out of patience.

  336. @Ak tanks so much for Ur update,I appreciate it .is it on or b4 20th or 30th Bcos according to d lagos state coordinator he said on or b4 ending of November dat Donald will be back to Nigeria. Pls reconfirm again.Tanks so much

  337. Dr Nkanta Gideon told us Donald will be back in the country on or b4 20th November, after wish the disbursement lists will be released. Disbursement will be done in 4 zones. Furthermore Any account that has been opened is just an NGO thing, SEM has not ordered NGOs/MFOs/Individuals to open any account. So, people should stop generalizing their statements.

  338. @Adeniyi .I want to assure you that there will be mass exodus of Nigerians after disbursement. Nigerians have great ambition , rather than coming home many will leave this country.A country that does not believe in their youth. A country that cannot pay common salary.Look at how long it is taking to disburse a grant meant for poor masses,What is the assurance that SEM will give us all the money for our project . I pray many will not sacrifice this grant on unprofitable investments in Nigeria. I believe after collecting what SEM will give us , we will later call for a probe of SEM on how they spent the whole grant from day one. Every bribery will be probed by the new government as they are probing FIFA grants to NFA.

  339. @ inno, I told you that all outlet in all NGO have already open an account with their outlet name being a/c name through Nominated bank of their NGO. If you dont believe, kindly contact your pr or chairman or secretary. Some NGO choose zenit, fidelity, first bank, polaris. Thanks.

    Many of us are still doubting, but i tell you, The range of millionaires in Nigeria will increase totally very soon, in which some Nigerian living in abroad will come home.

    I dont know whether it is true, i heard that Ghana has started their disbursement last month oct, 2018. can someone confirm ??
    I once again congratulate everyone. Thanks.

  340. From what @AK said it means the EFCC seal is just a camouflage just has some people have said. Because you cannot have any access to an office sealed by EFCC or any organisation for that matter except when unsealed.

  341. Good pm to my amiable leaders… Hope our day is going well…. Just want to know if all is well as I have not seen any info… Hope all is well….

  342. The seal is still there, but the guy said some SEM staff come around yesterday and even entered the office to pick some documents and locked it again with the seal on the door. They said they will commence work soon but he didn’t say when.

  343. Info that has just come in has it that efcc has removed their seal tag from sem office. @ AK pls do confirm from d security man at the sem gates. Thanks

  344. Attended a stakeholders meeting of kingdomwealth multipurpose cooperative society today in Abuja. Fortunately The president Dr. Nkanta Gideon came in person to address us on issues. He apologized concerning the current situation and explained that before the end of November, disbursement will commence in four zones, it won’t be everybody coming to Abuja. The list on how disbursement will follow will soon be out. Donald will be back in the country soon to supervise things. He further said he was in EFCC office to clarify things. That “everything ” have been settled, he further berated the coordinators For extorting monies from their poor members, and said that things will take a different shape now. He was ready to answer any question because he had nothing to hide unlike some MMM individuals on this platform who feed us with Endtime updates all the time all because they have deceived people to part with their money. At the end those present were Atikulated in a positive way. So, let’s continue to watch as things unfold. Meanwhile, am doing some underground Intel on this issue. Can’t say much now. PLS DON’T GIVE ANYONE MONEY UNTIL WE SEE SOMETHING CONCRETE. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

  345. @ Gouch
    Osibajo is representing the government, but at the same time standing for the christians, to benefit from the grant.
    His wife, Mrs Osibajo owns one of the NGOs for this grant.
    Even Osibajo, as I leant, was seen sharing the grant forms to some youths, in a particular church.
    Osibajo and Baba Adeboye have met with Donald at RCCG camp, in December 2017, where Donald assure them of disbursement this year. That is why RCCG pastors occupies lion share in the leadership of this grant.

    Another proof this grant is real is the outcome of EFCC investigation.
    It is expected that, if the grant is a scam, EFCC would have alerted the CBN, who will make public announcement, as in the case of MMM. If EFCC confirmed there was no fund, they would raise alarm, but instead, they are demanding for their own share.

    The 3rd reason to proof the grant is real is that the NAMCCA and the corperatives heads that were fighting were not fighting in vain. They’ve seen beyond what you and I can see. They have seen the fund coming, hence, the quarrel and disagreement.
    Let’s just relax, it will surely come SOON.

  346. The church as the last hope and a place of solace has failed us with their leadership.
    Some selfish and greedy NCs have brought shame upon their various churches where they are serving as leaders just because of money. They have lost their integrity and careless about the reactions people as long as they can eat their cakes and still have them. They have brought shame upon the founders and general overseers of their various churches through abuse of authority as Ncs, all in name of collecting what belongs to the poor masses even after making fortune from the same poor masses. Donald is using us to gain popularity among the politicians. Very soon he would tell us he is contesting for a position in the Goververment. It will not surprise me because all these moves are strategies towards such selfish ambition at the risk of poor masses. Delay of the grant is delibrate and it is to mobilize people for election. That is what they are working towards if there is really any grant. God will make a way for us alternatively if the long awaited grant fails.

  347. When domald trumph said africa is a shithole continant, most people casted aspersion on d usa president. It is only in africa cum nigeria where a supposed grant that was to be given tn the poor & impoverished masses through ngos has now become an issue of govt intervention through efcc, cbn, presidency senate etc. Why d talk abt inflation why millions of people are dying of hunger & starvatim? To me it’s time for us d masses to begin mass protest at all levels for this grant to be released. Our elites are not happy abt this grant.

  348. Yesterday it was fight between NCs and NAMCCA. Today it is underground operation and meeting with the vice president. Yet they claim it does not involve the government. Lies upon lies.
    Population of the evil ones has risen more than the godly ones.
    SEM and so called NCs failed to realise that they have inflicted more pains and sorrows upon so many families as a result of this long awaited grant. God will help us.

  349. Yesterday it was fight between NCs and NAMCCA. Today it is underground operation and meeting with the vice president. Yet they claim it does not involve the government. Lies upon lies.

  350. i will strongly advice not to have doubt when some updates are out from individual ngo meetings, they are mostly dissuasive. let us all be patient and hope on God. before december we will all have a new song to sing.

  351. @ekson pls throw more light when you said the embargo has been lifted because we had that there will be a meeting this week with the VP (government) & SEM to agree on when n how disbursement will start
    Secondly you need to finish what you started in good faith do not say this is is the last time you will visit this site we still need you Adenyi bn other to us correct infos

  352. Please you guys should not nail me over this I never wanted post this here ooooo but I have to cos I got it from a group which I really trust the guys on there!

    [11/10, 3:00 PM] PST EZEKIEL. 1: DISREGARD THE INFORMATION FLYING AROUND ABOUT OPENING ANY OUTLET ACCOUNT THE INFORMATION IS NOT FROM SEM.
    [11/10, 3:00 PM] PST EZEKIEL. 1: THE NATIONAL COORDINATOR COMMITTEE MET WITH SEM YESTERDAY AND THE OUTCOME WAS GOOD
    [11/10, 3:00 PM] PST EZEKIEL. 1: THE ISSUE OF SEM STILL LOCKED IS NOT FROM EFCC BUT DONALD.
    [11/10, 3:01 PM] PST EZEKIEL. 1: I AM NOT TO GIVE YOU DATE BUT I CAN BOLDLY TELL YOU TO GO TO SLEEP BECAUSE VERY SOON YOU WILL BE SINGING A NEW SONG.
    [11/10, 3:01 PM] PST EZEKIEL. 1: THIS IS ALL I CAN TELL YOU NOW UNTIL WE BRING THE PROPER UPDATE AND HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

  353. Shining rock meeting 10/11/18

    Opening prayer
    The meeting started at 10:09 with an opening prayer from one Christian brother and a Muslim brother.

    The national coordinator started by greeting everyone and encouraged the members to keep the environment clean as the hall was littered the last time but was cleaned by another corporative

    The money will soon come, be patient. A lot of rumors have been flying around since our last meeting. The issue with EFCC is halfway solved. The money is real. If anyone thinks its not real, they can verify with the EfCC. Someone else talked about withdrawing so the NC told him he can refund them their money but when the money comes he shouldn’t ask for a refund.

    Shinning rock is into other things not just SEM. So if anyone comes up before Sem grant we go for that. So many proposals are being submitted.

    If you don’t need any of the opportunities don’t discourage others as I was discouraged from doing BOI. Shinning rock is a big corporative we are here to stay so Lets work together.

    The NC said his concern is how to sustain the money when it comes. You need a steady income stream not just buying immediate things for gratification like cars etc.

    Do something different, something that is consumable.

    The house was in a little disarray when the NC entered the hall and a banner of Atiku presidential campaign was being opened to be mounted. He had a black polo with the inscription shinning rock is atikulated.
    He told everyone to calm down and said the money is coming this month.

    He insisted that all members think outside the box and that the campaign office has promised SR money so we can also work with them. Shining rock is beyond SEM grant, we thank God for them and their efforts.

    He said he’s working with another individual who is about to travel abroad for another grant. All arrangements are intact to get the money. Other interest groups are interested in the SEM grant and were trying to hijack the grant.

    Disbursement will start this month he said, that Donal traveled abroad, with the white donors who were angry that other countries that benefited from the grant after Nigeria have disbursed theirs.

    While we were waiting, opportunities were coming in here and there, so while we wait for that we have to take the opportunities. People have been saying its a scam, don’t bother yourself the money is real. Nothing good comes easy. Bear with SEM and the organizers.

    He called on Pastor Isaac and MS Pearl to Come forward for their testimonies about SEM.

    MS Pearl said SEM is real, the grant is real. She saw the work they’re doing and it proves its real and she’s confident. She said forces from the village are also involved in this.

    A question was asked by a member Pst Christopher. He said he knows the work is not easy, the NC is a man of few words. But even if you can come online and tell us good morning be patient, it is something. The NC said he has been a bit silent cos Mr Donald is been economical with info. I hardly speak, a lot of things go underneath that you’re not aware of. In the coordinators group I spoke out one day and others came and briefed me about the VPs involvement and all that and that was why I came up and informed the house. If I don’t update, go back to the past info and feed on that but be rest assured soon and very soon we’re going to see our money.

    Another participant said he’s been ridiculed and named a fraudster cos he was one of the mobilizers for the grant. Before October we were informed that the money will come but till now it didn’t come. Has SEM reopened the office? The NC said NO but they are working on that.

    The second testifyer said. He has made up his mind not to give up in this project. We are not where we used to be when we started. As a pastor whatever u say, your integrity is at stake. October 17th is just like a Xmas date. It is called poverty allevatiin date so some persons fixed their hopes on that date as disbursement date.

    The SEM block is still sealed. If its open people will throng in there. There are many wrong persons among us. He was in a very private meeting yesterday and he was informed that the meeting was made known to some persons. One of the worst parastatal in the nation is efcc. Two weeks ago Pa Adeboye called the VP cos his integrity is also at stake. We are in a country where the elites don’t like any good for the masses. The grant is real! The pastor prayed and prophecies that any evil agenda that doesn’t want the good of this grant be laid to eternal rest in Jesus name. Amen. The grant has been on since 1974 but they’ve been hijacking it since.

    Part two
    The NC said because the cry of the people won’t let him rest, he has been making other moves. “I am not a politician but a pastor”. “The founder of agenda working with the director general of Atiku campaign met with me and asked what we want and I rightly informed them that we have been expecting the SEM grant but it hasn’t come yet but if they can release some funds to help it will be good”.

    A retired director was furious that the cooperative is deviating from it’s purpose.

    The NC told the house it is optional, no one is forcing anyone to do it.

    Pastor
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion when it comes to politics. Many of us never planned to do this corporative. There are like two grants that will be disbursed before dec this has opened us to many other opportunities. If God is using this to open other doors for us let’s do it rightly.
    The meeting ended about 12:10pm

  354. i want to appreciate the owner of this site for creating an accommodating forum to get info and to share whatever we have heard from our various ends. God bless you. this will be the last time i will be visiting this forum because there is no need for update anymore as we will all be waiting to be called upon. God bless us all. Amen

  355. just like my bro @adeniyi has said, edit and master your biz plan if you have it and for those that dont have one, kindly do so b4 the end of this week. God bless us all. Amen.

  356. @Adeniyi sir…, the embargo on it has been lifted. At last God has done it. this week, all we will be hearing about our grant is good news. Glory be to God in the highest.

  357. @ Adeniyi thanks for all the updates so far but the issue of NGOs opening accounts unbehalf of the MFOutlets am not sure is correct because I am 100% aware that NGO heads cannot operate the accounts of d MFOs, therefore the principal Directors (Chairmen, Sec & Treasurers) of ecch MFO most open d account and be signatories to the accouns. But unless u are saying that NGOs has opened accounts to receive d bulk monies meant for their respective outlets for onward remittance to the Outlets, that maybe correct but anyhow it goes all I know is that the grant is real and we are going to get is soon. Thanks

  358. My people, I think there is no need for chairman / PR to go Abuja again. i think Eben by mistake posted it, we dont need to crucify him. ( oga ni iya muda ) I tell you my people, the issue of going to Abuja is solved. What they wanted pr and sec do already done at their location through NGO, that is opening of outlet a/c.
    Let us relax,thanking God, thinking like millionaires and getting ready to receive credit alert at any time from now. stop looking for what is already with you and someone cover your face to see it, just to make it a surprise package.

    Disbursement will soon make this group scatter. The embargo laid on it will soon be lifted. Congratulation my people. Thanks.

  359. @ Eben
    Don’t be offended if they rain curses on you.
    This so called 100% verified post has been posted here in August.
    It is a surprise that this same post is now being reposted in all facebook groups, telegram and watsapp groups…
    When SEM and Donald speak, everyone of us will know.

  360. #EBEN PLS WE HAVE READ THIS UPDATE 2 MONTHS AGO. WHY RECYCLE & GIVE US STALE UPDATES? THIS IS NOT HELPING MATTERS RAISING FALSE HOPES. I USE THE NAME OF GOD OR WHATEVER U WORSHIP TO BEG U TO PLS DESIST FROM IT

  361. For effective disbursement, all the 36 states have been divided into four i.e (South West, South East, South South and North). Each chairman and secretary of all MFBS should be ready for Abuja second trip and there will be a day seminar with the Commercial BANK officials along with collection of other documents.

    Banks approved by SEM are Zenith, Union, First and Fidelity Banks for disbursement, and its has also been confirmed that money is with the Commercial Banks right now, also, they’re through with the printing of cheques and other documents

    Get either Voter card or national ID card ready

    All chairmen and secretaries are the ones to provide the following documents:

    1. Either NEPA or water corporations bill
    2. National ID / Voter’s card
    3. Four passports
    4. Get ready for Abuja trip

    All information is. ? Verified

    1. @ Eben, i dont think chairman / PD and secretary need to go Abuja again because all outlets under NGO have already open outlet account with commercial bank in which a/c name and number have been created. Are they going to collect cheque book in Abuja in which a/c was open in different location / state ???? I think it will be completed in our location. Thanks

  362. @ The truth
    The fact that you visit this site everyday to rain curses and abuse on piple has revealed that you are much more desperate to get the grant than any other here.
    @ AK
    Thanks for your SEM office investigation. But that has not helped us. You need to visit EFCC office to get the truth from them.
    It is the EFCC boss that can give us verdict, not the Aboki, security man at SEM office gate.
    @ Adeniyi and Omotayi, Austin and other believers of the grant, keep it up, God is watching. Some piple will get this grant and never use it profitably because there is power in WORDS. What you say now may stand against you on the day of challenges.
    If you call it a scam, it will be a scam unto you.
    If you call it a fraud, it will be a fraud unto you.
    But to me and my family, it is God’s blessing.
    In general, it was Donald that initiated SEM and SEM office, the same donald can decide not to use the office again.
    What is special about the office self?
    The office can be locked, but the dream and vision remain alive.
    This kind of grant should better operate underground not with noises.
    If you cant wait patiently, just go and ask for a refund of your #2,500, and allow us to rest.
    Thanks

  363. Pls SEM with or without office all we need is disbursement. I hope in two weeks time all will be set and money released to the outlets. Thanks ?????

  364. MY PROBLEM IS THE ENDLESS EXTORTION BY SOME MFOS. MINE HAS JUST RELEASED TEXT INVITING US FOR DISBUREMENT SEMINAR WITH 500. WE HAD DONE VERIFICATION IN JUNE WITH 3K WHILE FORMS WERE SOLD @ 2K. THANK GOD WHEN THEY DID VERIFICATION THEY ISSUED US WITH RECEIPTS & SERIAL. WHEN MONEY COMES I WILL THAT TO GET MY MONEY.

  365. @Omatayi Thanks for confirming from EFCC, anybody that do not believe you can summon up courage to confirm from the nearest efcc office. @Adeniyi Thanks for keeping hope alive. I know the battle is now b/w the faithful & the faithless. The grant that gathered us here will soon scatter us as soon as we start receiving our alert. This delay has real favored me because I have better plans for this grant now than before. SEM must have been well advised to go underground if they must succeed. I will also advice us to go underground and do not receive calls as soon as your account is credited. Your phone which was used to send alert can also expose you. The days are evil. SHALOM

  366. My people, I am here with you celebrating, preparing and thanking God for all He has done concerning this great opportunity given to we masses in Nigeria.

    I congratulate those that believe this grant is real and Thomases both in house and out door, bcs, very soon we shall all rejoice.

    This grant is at our door step, i repeat it. Many of us dont know that SEM dont want noises on this grant, that is why they dont update their website, they do everything silent.

    Is it not for us to get the grant ?? Why are we worrying, disturbing ourselves, we want to know who is talking inside Radio. All we need is patience, if u know you are too hurry and u cant wait again, you may ask for your reg fee and forget abt it.
    I will advice all to stop verify up and down, dont look for what is not lost. Start preparation on your project as i do. Thanks to you all.

  367. @ D truth I think I like ur type of person who doesn’t fight and run away and if u do then I will know that u are a confirmed born bastard as for u and ur entire generation, u have been curse and I can bet for 100% sure that u are mentally derailed therefore needs a psychiatric doctor of my nature to help fix it for u and that I will do until u come back to ur right senses, make sure u secure that borrowed phone of urs for long while and keep it handy to reply me as soon as u see this. You son of a retched descendant of evil

  368. Innocent I’ve not forgotten about u,for your obituary is to be announced soon on BCOS… After all this my time away, so u still have the problem of vermins giving you false updates and and false hopes? My director has his office under lock and key all this while.. Hey why don’t we start tracking the down this directors and lynching them… Maybe Donald would see this and know that the masses are not smiling

  369. Too many pessimistic vagabonds on this platform. I live in Gwarinpa Abuja and I know that sem is working under ground around Utako
    @Adeniyi please stop wasting your energy for the die hard pessimists here
    I was in Efcc office on Tuesday this week
    My enquiries revealed that our grant is real and we will soon get it
    SO HELP ME GOD

    1. @ omatayi, That was why i did not open up for them. Thanks my brother. There are 3 client in our outlet that requested for their req fee, i personally refund them back. one of them is now begging now that she wanted to give me back and their names have already be processed. This kind of thing never happen In Nigeria, that is why many people dont believe it.

      If you dont believe this grant is real, why are you worrying your self ?? You can go back to the person you paid to and ask for your reg fee. Thanks

  370. I just called the security guy, he said NOTHING! NOTHING!! .The place is still like that. For those asking us to wait for our outlets to pass info to us, it shows how desperate you can be, am sure you don’t stay anywhere near Abuja or it’s environs. You can brainwashed ur gullible members but not everyone. For those seeking where they lift some of this ENDTIME UPDATES, just search for” SOCIAL EXCHANGE MARKET GRANT ” on ur FACEBOOK , and you can read directly from there. am a director/secretary of an outlet, I choose not to deceive/yahoo yahoo /MMM my members or anyone else, all we seek is the gospel truth about this grant. it’s a free world. Pls don’t give anyone money again until you see something tangible, for now there’s nothing at all only ENDTIME UPDATES! BY THEIR COMMENTS WE SHALL KNOW THEM.

  371. Good news around the corner…. We will all burst into joy.. Just a little while all our argument and looking for correct update here and there will be over. It’s nearer to us than before.

  372. Is it not clear to you all that if AK says SEM office is locked but people are giving updates and as Davies said someone on another platform is full of life about disbursement, is not clear that SEMs operations are now undercover or from another location? Those who are talking of EFCC, is it the first time EFCC will be hearing about SEM or its confusing operations? Others want to petition buhari and osinbajo online, look they are all aware of what’s going on and again you will just be wasting your time, effort and energy… I advise you all to wait for info from your outlets, but if you are in doubt don’t bring your pessimism here.

  373. pls someone from another platform said sem office is now open for operation, dat he was in d office yesterday wt his national co-ordinator. he is even full of life dat dsbursement is @ our doorsteps about to knock. @AK, pls help us to confirm ds through d security officer u gave ur phone number to when u went to sem office so dat we wl b able to know if truely sem is back in operation or d guy is sem agent to cover up for sem.

  374. @DANK IDON’T KNOW WHAT U MEAN BY PHYSICIAN OF NO VALUE. AK HAS GIVEN US A SITUATION REPORT OF THE STATE OF AFFAGRS IN RESPECT OF SEM OFFICE. WE ARE STILL BEGGING HIM TO GO TO EFCC OFFICE TO FHND OUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS GRANT SO WE CAN KNOWTHE NEXT IINE OF ACTION. WE REPEAT DON’T GIVE ANY FAKE UPDATE TO RAISE PEOPLE’S HOPE FALSELY . @ AK PLS DO THIS FOR US

  375. If you know you have fraudulently collected huge sums from individuals all in the name of this grant,, SEM did not ask you to do that, I presume it’s because of greed and desperation in you. #1000 should be enough for registration. We pray there is disbursement, but incase the contrary happens be ready to refund people their money because they will definitely come after you for their money, it’s their sweat. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE TRUTH, THAT’S UR CUP OF TEA.

  376. SMALL UPDATE – 09.11.2018 on Telegram (@SEMGrantGramelTeam)
    » We believe that SEM is making positive, though seemingly slow strides towards disbursement soonest.
    » We discovered that one of the NGO’s (name withheld) has received some documents from SEM that are indicative of disbursement.
    » These documents are specifically for Chairmen & Directors.
    » It is perceived that this is possibly to enable direct crediting of the accounts of the Outlet Officials.
    » We also believe that this is part of the overall workings towards rolling out disbursement to Beneficiaries.
    » It is expected that there will be a signing of the SEM Approved MOA early next week, to give way to full disbursement.
    » These are indications that despite the locked office, SEM is still actually working.
    » We are equally expecting other NGO’s to be called up for same activity, if they haven’t already been called.
    » With all these, we believe that as we enter next week and the week thereafter things will become clearer.
    » Let us therefore remain positive and prayerful, as we look forward to more good tidings and eventual disbursement.
    » Like I always say; It is better late, than never.
    » May God bless all our efforts.
    » Happy Weekend!

  377. SOMEONE ELSE WHERE HAS SUGGESTED THAT WE THE BENEFIARINES SHLD CARRY OUT ONLINE MASS ACTION/PROTEST ON TWEETER BY TAGGING PRESIDENT @BUHARI & VICE @PROFOSIBAJO ON TWEETER. THAT ONCE THEY GET 50 TO 100 TWEETS DAILY, THEY WILL BE FORCED TO ORDER DISBURSEMENT. WHAT’S UR TAKE ON THIS

  378. @Ak,thanks so much for your effort so far :your kind of move are the kind of moves that we want here. Please do every thing possible to help us get good information from the efcc guy, even if it means us here to volunteer recharge cards for him to give us information.

    @adeniyi, is good enough you never broke another fake News to us again ;because from the look of things, there no response yet from the SEM. My guess is even that this so called money is not yet in Nigeria :reason why Donald keep travelling. We need to get authentic information about this whole grant and act accordingly :most of the cooperative and mfo doesn’t have human sympathy that they keep fabricating a new system of authentication everyday to make money off the unsuspected masses, in other to stay in business while they continue to wait endlessly. So I advise that no persons give out any money or make any other commitment towards this grant again, until they start to disburse. It even baffles me why any mfo will charge beneficiaries more than 1k for this grant if really they are doing it to help:but it happened anyway and some beneficiaries had spent up to 5k on this grant and the cooperatives live in affluence off their money.

    1. @ collins, That was why i did not tell house, because many of you will not believe it. And very soon you will see it. Thanks my brother.

  379. @Ak tanks so much for Ur effort the information u gave is the real tin .God bless u so much.BT,pls I think u will Make this effort to go forward by visiting EFCC bcos this will really give us a hope dat is base on a proper foundation whether a fraud is involve with in SEM or SEM has no money to disburse at all.pls do dis I beg you

  380. I saw this somewhere and deem it fit to share among this family.
    Don’t crucify me.
    [11/7, 1:50 PM] Goody ISHIBA SC LAGOS Secretary: GOOD MORNING HOUSE !

    Quiet some times now we have withhold information because we needed to ascertain the certainty of lots of issues on ground.

    My fellow billionaires, do not loose hope because the millions are almost in your hands.

    My visit to SEM’ s office Abuja confirmed the truthfulness of what I just said as the entire staff were very much busy tidying up their remains for the payments which were caused by the efcc one month delays.

    Of a truth, this house could not released half baked information until this time.

    Barr.Donald the CEO of SEM is returning to Nigeria in few days now because of funds transfer he went to do to Nigerian banks which were ducked at Africa development Bank.
    As he set to return in few days he has instructed the entire staff to put all machinery in shape for immediate payments.

    Its confirmed, that the payment will commence immediately he returns within these few days and both the signing of the second batch will a week after the release of this first batch.

    Please, if you are still holding on an outlet ,you are playing a card you may loose..

    Kindly submit all the finished outlets in your care and their ID CARD as we may not have time to tackle them immediately the payments commences and SEM have warned seriously of the submission.

    Please,if you are still working on an outlet and you don’t have directors kindly bring them as some directors are in the wait.

    Let’s pray that within some hours no longer days that BARR.DONA will return and all will begin to laugh.

    It is well ,by his Grace in the next couple of days you and I will begin CELEBRATION even as we go for signing of the second batch which the payments will still be immediate

    Thank you all and God bless

    CEO
    [11/7, 1:50 PM] Goody ISHIBA SC LAGOS Secretary: GOD IS NOT A TAATA !

    House good evening all

    Barr. Donald Olorunkeyede is back. I will give you update on the recent achievements and payment modalities on or before Friday.

    Thanks

    CEO

  381. Dear expectant fellows, if the information given @AK above is true then we need to do more underground work to know what is actually going on. I know it is difficult to come to term that this grant is not true but there is no need to be fool all along. We were told that when Mr Donald comes back disbursement will start, now he came back and we are hearing he has traveled again. If we have been fooled to this point there is no need to be fool till December.
    I am just trying to make common sense while still believe that anything can happen.

  382. Both @Adeniyi & @AK have given us their update. @AK update shows that EFCC has not removed their seal and SEM does not have access to their frozen account to enable them resume work. @Adeniyi update shows that SEM is working underground to ensure disbursement as soon as EFCC enables SEM account. Bar. Donald is not under arrest and as a lawyer knows the legal implication of what he is doing.

  383. I was able to visit SEM office at No 12 Dan Suleiman street. It’s a two storey building with Six Flats. SEM occupies the two flats at the second floor. I meet the security guard at the gate and introduced myself to him, and told him my mission. To my greatest surprise, he told me SEM has not resumed work for almost a month since EFCC sealed the office. I insisted I want to see things by myself, so I went upstairs and lo and behold, EFCC seals on both offices, not only that, they have not renewed their rent yet so the agents placed a notice on the door for them to indicate they still want to retain both flats. I was able to snap the sealed offices, but unfortunately it can’t be posted here. I spent two hours there discussing with other persons (some from outside Abuja) who came to verify what the situation was. The situation doesn’t look good at all, the worst aspect is that nobody seem to have any concrete info about what the situation is and the way forward aside the ENDTIME UPDATES you read from various platforms including this one. I will those of still giving monies to ur NGO/chairman all in the name of this grant to stop forth with, until you see something tangible, people are becoming agitated about the whole thing. That’s my candid advice. SHINE YOUR EYES MY PEOPLE.

  384. While we are waiting for our elder statesman on this platform @Adeniyi to release the good news that he is congratulating us for,I want to advice; Recent findings has revealed that most Agric/farming investments are becoming unprofitable. Please wisely review your Agric projects before disbursement to avoid risking your grant.Thanks

  385. @Adeniyi, thanks…i went to my ngo office today and i met some bank officials discussing with our state coordinator whether to issue cheques or transfer the funds into beneficiaries acc but the officials want the money to be transferred. this is the only update i got from there. it seems like we are getting there…

  386. @ Gouch the info there was psted since sept & has to do with change of name from MMFB Bethany ngo productivity center pending when statutory requirements wud be met, & directinm the princ. Dirs to effect the change accordingly

  387. @adeiyi,
    That is so selfish of you, if we dont share the right info with each other here, I wonder what joy we would derive if we see the wrong ones sent in a bid to decieve
    We r all in this together, don’t forget

    1. @ EMPEROR, if u think am selfish, no problem. The info is not for online. It is see and believe. Once again, congratulations my people. Thanks

  388. Na wa for you guys most especially @adeniyi. Does it mean others giving info here whether positive or negative are mumu.I have been following you here and see how matured and compose u are and also seen people like @truth mentality, insult and the rest as if there is no more hope if the grant isnt real.
    We are here for details that’s why this forum is here and also to deliberate.pls consider those that still love the way u deal with issues here.we are not close to our coordinators. Please assist. Thanks

    1. @ segun, you dont need to close or know any coordinator or Pd or director before you can visit your NGO office. You can even visit and stay with them till closing time, no one can chase you out for the fact that you are one of the beneficiaries.

      The info is not for online, it is seen and believe. Once again, congrats my brother. Thanks

  389. @ Adeniyi, I called my NGO this morning, they are yet to pick call. Share your goodnews with us. I hope your coming back will not be like that of the Truth?
    @ Ak, we are waiting…
    If you are really doing any finding for us…

    1. @ BlessedMike, EMPEROR and Daniel, If you call them, they may not tell you. I too will not tell you here please. If you have no chance to go, send someone there to see it.

      Once again, glory be to God in the highest. Congratulation my people with patience.

      @ Daniel, You need no info from SEM, dont worry yourself. Thanks

  390. I dont know whats wrong with this platform. I cant find recent comments. @ AK WE are waiting for findings at sem office. Thanks

  391. @Adninyi
    Some of us are not close to our NGO at the moment, please spare us the mystery and help. Us with the latest information, at least that’s why we are here.
    God bless you as u do so

  392. @Adeniyi How good is the news that you are afraid to share it. Are you waiting for fake news before you release your own or you are not sure of the good news.

  393. My people, good evening. God is so good to us in Nigerian. What many people say it is not possible, God make it possible. Glory be to God

    This update is for those that believe SEM grant is real. This grant is at our door step, we need no prayer again but praising God. Please, lets everyone go and visit their various NGO offices for good news. Thanks.

  394. Culled from 247nijanews

    Dear All,
    Grant UPDATE
    In line with my earlier promise of giving an update on the state of affairs as regards disbursement of the much-awaited SEM-anchored grant, please be informed as follows:

    1. The National Coordinator enjoins all to be calm, patient and prayerful as the grant would be disbursed sooner than later because issues stalling completion of the first batch are virtually resolved.

    2. No statement or timetable has been released from SEM inviting NGOs to Abuja, contrary to speculative posts making the rounds.
    It is therefore advised that we should be mindful of speculative and unsubstantiated information on whatsapp groups and social media credited to SEM.

    Also, the news being spread around that Ishiba NGO’s insistence on the grant being paid to the NGO at all cost is one of the issues responsible for non-disbursement in October as scheduled is nothing but ugly rumours. So also is the allegation that the NGO is insisting that commision must be paid to it otherwise disbursement should not be made to participants. The truth is that Ishiba NGO is in the forefront of agitation for disbursement of the grant without further delay so as to lend credibility to the programme

    3. The three banks acrredited by the state (i.e. Zenith, FCMB & Fidelity) have been submitted to SEM by the National Coordinator for ratification.
    Accordingly, one or all of the banks will likely be approved for disburse-ment of the grant to participants in Lagos.

    4. Guidelines on account opening with designated bank(s) will be communicated as soon as it is available.

    Thanking you all for your patience and various sacrifices toward the successful completion of this programme.

    Hon. Olabode Olatosin
    State Coordinator

  395. Who is the truth?
    Did he pay salary to anyone to give him update?
    When the truth told us his chairman’s story that money was credited, we were all happy,and eagerly waited for his feedback, only to tell us another story (without him apologizing to this house)
    We were all disappointed, but used maturity mind. Did we rain any curse on him?

    However, if you want to join the groups where only confirmed updates are posted, I can add you to such groups. But such groups are boring and uninteresting.
    So don’t base your entire life and destiny on the update you read here.
    Anyone with latest info should not hesitate to share it
    We are getting closer to the promise land.

  396. @ adeniyi. Hope u hv read my comments concerning d truth. Whoever that has updates shld update the house. It can’t be bcos of one person we don’t get updates. Someone shld pls answer My question if sem office has been opened today as anticipated

  397. Let no-one caution D truth from cursing people with good or fake update, He too has also given house fake update abt his coordinator with no feed back. All his curses are on his head. i will advice you to continue. Pls, who wake d truth from sleeping. Go and continue your sleeping.

    People bring what they heard, it is for the house to confirm it whether true or false. It is either take it or leave it, why cursing ????? It is not that some people have no update, they keep it to themselves bcs of this.

    All what the house need is disbursement, that is credit alert from SEM for those that believe it real. We need no update from anyone to avoid D truth curses. Thanks

  398. Good people, I will advice we stop all the quarrel. The problem with this platform is that some set of persons keep posting FAKE UPDATES that doesn’t exist anywhere. I promise to visit SEM OFFICE this week to find out things for myself. If you know you have collected or still extorting monies from your members, please repent because God is not happy with you. Don’t come here to post useless and demonic updates just to deceive those you have extorted millions from. Remember Everything has expiry date. SEM is supposed to resume work today. I will give you guys authentic updates when am through visiting them just pray they are able to provide me with all the questions I have prepared for them. God bless NIGERIA.

  399. I read through what @D Truth posted and I understand his posts/curses are for those those who have been posting fake news in the forum, what baffles me is why people are attacking him, does that mean that people that are attacking him did so cos their conscience judges them for posting fake news ?

  400. i appeal to all to show high level of maturity on dis platform & pls eschew abusive words. d information @ my disposal says donald has settled wt efcc. i blv sem is not a scam but let’s all wait & see what we happen this wk & next. There wl surely b good news soon IJN.

  401. @Daniel, If it comes when I don’t need it anymore, I’d buy a car with it! But, its not coming, is it?

    Just tune in to NTA international right now to watch real grants going on! A woman got 5m for her fish pond and another man is about getting 16.6m for his production business, right now, they are deliberating on a rice producer requesting for 10m. Yet SEM can even update their useless site! Rubbish!! if you have a strong production business you wish to present to them.. Just helping..

  402. Hahahahahahahah, Fight over a sum of money that does not exist!! Right now, I’m wondering which is the bigger fake- this grant or Buhari’s certificate!!

  403. @segun_3
    that is not our grant.
    The $611m is for “back to school” education funding for terrorist affected states in the northern region of Nigeria.

  404. @ Segun_3, i will advice you not to give specific day for disbursement. All what people want to here disbursement. God already know the time / date /month. I know after disbursement this house will scatter for good. what you heard i have also heard it. I pray God will hold the day. Lets those who believe is real, start preparing for our projects. It is well.

    @ D truth, Any info from your coordinator ???????? Kindly feed house. Thanks.

  405. Hello guys do you know that as at last 2weeks ago I read a news 4rm HipTv new that global funds as been sent to Nigeria $611million, and today am reading a current news 4rm HipTv news that World Bank will be withdrawing bank $611million fund release to Nigeria if further delay to disburse the funds… You can go an verify by watching HipTv when they are playing there music just look patiently at d bottom were messages slide through..

    Got it from a Facebook page

  406. Information at my disposal shows that:

    1. The various groups have been asked to open bank accounts.

    2. Pre-disbursements to these accounts are to be done next week.

    3. Disbursements to applicants accounts or in some cases, cheques.

    4. 5% family relief are to be paid.

    5. The remaining would be disbursed instalmentally at 2 months intervals over 8 months.

    Provided the money you get, is well utilised. Otherwise
    #copied

    Got this from a Facebook page

    1. @segun _3; Pls stop posting fake updates here, am in Abuja and a secretary, if truly there is such directive, my nat cood and chairman would passed the info down, because I am one Of the signatories if at all any account is to be opened. moreover, SEM has not resumed work yet at their office until Monday. Where do you guys get all these fake and misleading updates from? U guys should be truthful for once for God sake.

  407. @frank, Austin did not lie about opening an access bank acc under ishiba , where i registered too in my state(ishiba also) all 1000 members in our mfo where given an access bank acc opening form. nothing good come easy. since we have all prayed to YAHWEH to take charge of the whole thing, let us sit back and watch what only He can do bcos our impossiblity or difficulty is His own specialty. God will see it through.

  408. It is rather unfortunate that our environment is not enabled for individuals to leverage on any existing platform that can enhance self development. Government have failed us in the past and left the economy in a chaotic trajectory that led to where we are today. Consequently, amount to the reason why our economy is ostensibly unattractive for any foreign investors to step in. Gone are the days when crude oil was sold above $100/ barrel, and we could even boast of additional income through excess crude. Did our leaders ever think of empowering the youth then? That is why we inherited a stupendous backlog of unemployment and a woeful economic situation in the society today. It should have been that time that government could have embarked on similar initiative to empower the citizens amidst of mass unemployment towards forestalling a future crisis. Afterall It is not expected that government should be the one to create all jobs and solve all economic problems, but they can encourage alternative platforms that will enable the private sector to thrive in a struggling economy like ours. That is why citizens empowerment of supervised projects could be a right choice of idea towards engaging all able citizens in the process of rebuilding our weak economy. Thanks to SEM and the present administration who have finally introduced this brilliant concept. It is better late than never. At last individuals can now sing a song of hope in a place they call home and a prospect of a greater future for our nation.

  409. @Blaise Thanks. I can make a mistake but@ Frank & @Dtruth are complete mistakes on this platform. This is a battle of the faithful Vs the faithless. The faithful will surely prevail.

  410. » It is because of the effects of fake updates to the heart that we firmly decided not to allow any form of indiscriminate updates in this Telegram group (@SEMGrantGramelTeam).
    » It is these fake news that is misguiding people, and potentially killing some with BP issues.
    » Please we still stand strongly against posting updates in the group.
    » Also please do not bring your negativity to the group, WE DO NOT WANT IT!!!
    » We prefer the truth, even if it is not sweet, but certainly not negativity.
    » NOTE: If you get muted during this period, you will remain so till after disbursement commences.
    » Don’t come behind and plead with me, I will not agree.
    » Caution yourself now, bridle your tongue.
    » Intelligent discussions are welcome, but within the ambit or our group rules.
    » Let us keep this Telegram group (@SEMGrantGramelTeam) a haven for people who want to have peace of mind while waiting for the Grant. ???

  411. @Blaise, Austin for real? This same Austin that opened an imaginary Access bank account under Ishiba? Someone even queried him on why it was only him that got that message out of over 5000 beneficiaries! This Austin is a bonafide white liar!! This same Austin?? Lolzz, humour me more!

  412. The good thing is that one of customer care line is now alive. Which means work is abt to commence. By next week we shall events unfold as they start work. I have not heard efcc has declared donald or any of worherrs wanted. @ collins,frank & others who belief it’s scam just keep ur beliefs to urself. Early this yr when osibanjo visited eket, he personally gave d grant forms to RCCG members. I have d fervent belief that i shall get this grant b4 2018 is out. That is mine & dont know abt urs

  413. @ Collins, I also heard that Barr Donald addressed people at redeem camp last year. I know for sure before he did such thing he would have notified papa or the ground committee and they would verify through Nehemiah in which he is a member of redeem living in Aso villa. This message is for those who believe grant is real.

    For people that believe is scam, if anyone of you know a senator or a member of house of rep or a governor or high rank manager in CBN or EFCC, verify from them, whether real or scam. Thanks

    Which update do we need from SEM than EFCC locked their office and affected their operation in which everyone know. And we never heard that EFCC has jailed Barr donard after they locked their office or ran away. Patience is the key. Thanks.

  414. @ frank, ok. That is why i advice him to stop giving update. Which of the update other fellows gives here written from SEM website ???????

    People update on what they heard whether true or false concerning SEM. Thanks.

  415. @Bako : Go to SEM site, the GLO line is the only line that is working, use it to get information from them, though information is limited. The guy handling the line doesn’t seem to be understand the job well. I intend visiting their office nxt wk, God willing. Most updates I read here, lack substance. Though, it’s your right to believe whatever you want to believe.

  416. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE US THAT ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST. ON 12/12/17 DONALD STOOD AT RCCG CAMP GROUND & PLACED A CURSE ON HIMSELF & FAMILY THAT HE WILL DISBURSE THIS GRANT BY MARCH 2018. WE GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT THAT HE FACED CHALLENGES. DONALD HAS NOW & DECEMBER TO SAVE HIMSELF & FAMILY FROM THE CURSE HE PLACED OR BE CURSED FOREVER. GOD IS NOT AN AUTHOR OF CONFUSION. D TRUTH BE CAREFUL WHAT U SAY TO OTHERS. VENGENCE BELONGS TO GOD

  417. What a monumental scandal it will be if Donald and his SEM succeeded in scamming the millions of Nigerian. It is looking like that now. It is too unfortunately. Even the people of other faith will not do this type of mess. They must have disbursed it long ago in their respective prayer centers and nobody will hear of it outside. Now God gave this grant to the Christian to execute (if the grant is real oh) and they messed it up. What a shame. May God forgive us all, more so that this is a colossal scandal against the Church of God. Postponement upon postponing, meetings upon meetings, this is where we landed. (no disbursement) As at today SEM office is still under efcc seal, lock and key. I went there to check it this afternoon . Just count your loss and move past it. Move on. People shd not have heart failure or commit suicide becos of this. Your life depends on God and not on SEM. Even the so called national coordinators becos of greed kept following without asking questions. Both the NC and NAMCCA have been fooled, it looked like that. They ve gathered millions of innocent Nigerians to dash down their hope. What a shame. We all need to repent for bringing this shame to the body of Christ. What a monumental scandal. What an integrity issue and corrosion on the part of SEM and her Headmaster. Now what next,? To your tent oh Isreal, go to your normal duties and the Lord be with us all. It is well.

  418. @Rightchuks This same information was posted on this same platform shortly after the quarrel between NAMCA and NC. We didn’t see the impact . Here you are repeating it again. Please help us to know our stand with the current updates not old ones.

  419. Dear Chairmen and Directors,
    SEM update is timely especially during this period. The update is self explicit but I will like to break it down for a better understanding.
    ? SEM has advised intending subscribers to shorn the spreading rumour that the programme is *SCAM*
    ? SEM had a few short fall of time as a result of the recently resolved EFCC invitation resulting from the petition of some Chairmen and their national coordinators. *About three to four weeks was lost.*
    ? SEM through the update has apologized to everyone for the delay caused by the investigation
    ? SEM has directed all duly collaterally registered NGOs and Cooperatives to immediately submit the commercial bank accounts of each microfinance outlets under them to SEM for disbursement. By implication all outlets are expected to submit a commercial bank account through which disbursement will be made to their mother NGOs and cooperatives. It is expected that the mandate of the bank account of the outlet to be submitted must be three signatories. (chairman, secretary & treasurer)
    ? NGOs and cooperatives have been advised by SEM to endeavour to resolve any issue(s) with their respective partners and directors of each outlets under them.

    *THE END OF EVERY JOURNEY IS BETTER THAN THE BEGINNING*

    *AT LAST GOD IS FOREVER FAITHFUL*

    *CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE*
    ????????

  420. @Adex and Ak, it’s totally not advisable to cummute within Abuja at the moment. So, I suggest you rather visit info@efccnigeria.org to lay your complaints or gather info on SEM and EFCC’s debacles, thanks.

    @Miles, You see, I use a long spoon when eating with the devil and I use a longer spoon when dining with these so called men of God! If there is a business deal involved and the person introduces himself as “pastor” or ” reverend” believe me, the deal is as good as dead!

    @ Adeniyi, it’s wrong to judge even a hardened criminal but I think I’m morally right if I criticize any man of God, if I don’t, God will punish me! Why? The man of God was becoming ungodly and I didn’t let him know..

    @Austin, we have had enough of your religious eulogism! You know what we want this moment, don’t you? DISBURSEMENT!!

  421. @ D truth, It will not work here online, Kindly go to SEM office in Abuja and tell them to disburse the money because, u get mouth than us. House will expect feedback from you. Thanks my brother.

  422. @Blessedmike, From every indications, this fund of a thing looks to be a big hoax and you expect everyone to be clapping for sem and co? If nemesis and posterity should visit someone, it has to be YOU for trying to shut anyone who has criticized this program up! I have my opinion about this thing, so has you, so why must everyone toe your line of thoughts? S.E.M has failed to frequently update their empty website with important informations concerning this grants and you think it’s not shady? Are they the only organisation to render grants to people? World bank do render grants to governments and they give timely updates on their websites, coming closer to home, Tony elumelu foundations and life foundations (life breweries) render grants to people and they update frequently, so why is SEM different? Oga, this things don’t add up to me and their is nothing prayers and fasting can do about a grant that is nonexistent! Life foundation is giving grants this year, anyone can visit their websites for more info and you will see the difference between them and SEM, transparent and direct, no third party! Tony elumelu’s own resumes next year, visit their site and you will believe what I’ve been saying here that SEM grant is a complete faux!! “Disburse before november 30 or risk it all” it’s no longer october, it has shift to November and they forgot November 30th ain’t far enough.. I’ll still be here watching!! Meanwhile, Kingdom wealth no longer pick my calls!!

  423. @Ak don’t say my wahala to much and laying emphasis on EFCC.I want to get clarity on Ur message
    First is it true EFCC locked SEM office
    Second do u in any way knw their reason by d EFCC locked d office if u knw thirdly is there hope dat d grant wud be disbursed
    Dat was y I was suggesting if someone to go to EFCC and get clarity in totality
    I don’t know @Ak if u get my argument
    Or my reasoning
    Tanks

  424. I reside in Abuja, the issue is this b4 EFCC sealed the office, the workers there are not willing to give you the kind of info u want. They have been warned by Mgt to stop giving out info which are not under their jurisdiction. They will just ask you to exercise patience. I was told by a Director understand kingdomwealth multipurpose cooperative that, the EFCC guys left last week Thursday after Donald agreed to see them today. If the money is not real, EFCC would not be asking for clarification. Our financial laws must be adhered to strictly. Let’s just exercise a little patience. The ppl who should be afraid are those who have extorting huge sums from their naive members, because incase there is no disbursement, they will come for them for refund, that is why some set of persons keep posting Immaginary updates and meetings just to douse tension of those they have extorted huge sums from. Am a director/secretary of my outlet. WATCH HOW THEY WILL DELETE THIS POST!

  425. I will continue to blame the Government for the trouble some us are going through right now because the gorvernment is less concerned about our welfare.
    It is not enough that they allowed Boko aram to kill some us , they also secretly introduced SEM to kill us further. I believe strongly that SEM is an agent of the government which is created to defraud the citizenry for their political selfish interest. This accounts for the reason why the office was sited in Abuja. They pretend not be part of SEM yet they are the brain behind every schedule dates of disbursement which never came to reality, purposely to dounce tention of the benefiaciaries for them to actualise their wicked aims.
    I made a post on this platform some minutes ago about the Government and SEM and immeditely someone has removed it. I am sure the same person will remove this one again.
    I pray the Almighty God will see us through in this matter of grant.
    How many arrests have been made since beneficiaries have been raising alarm of fraud.
    Just last friday we heard that their so called nonsense Abuja office has been opened with the EFCC surrendered. Today is another rubbish talk that we are hearing that the Abuja office is still under lock and key.
    I know many of the government officials don’t have human feelings otherwise they would have intervened this matter but because they are part of the system

  426. Tanks @Daniel dat u reason with me.EFCC dat can tell us the truth now.if someone who lives in Abuja cud go to EFCC to confirm if dey truly locked SEM office and if they locked SEM office wats their reason.it will help out of this trauma

  427. Pls let’s look in to EFCC dey locked sem office.pls if anyone in Abuja cud go to Efcc office to confirm if truly dey locked sem office and if dey do wats their reason of locking and investigation SEM.Dats will be of help.Pls let look into dis.Tanks

  428. The people involved in this program doesn’t pass for the quality of a politician, talk of pastors. How can they ask people to come up with business ideas and made them pass through process only to drag the disbursement to a time like this without any meaningful thing on ground yet but meetings upon meetings ?
    I know about 2 CEO that died within this time;their death was caused by this delay and lagging on the side of the sem for disbursement. Why don’t they tell people the truth and let them face it headlong :some borrowed money to fund the activities of this project and yet they can’t seem to get any concrete information about disbursement. This is just unacceptable and totally dismal :been disappointed on them is to say the least ;even if this grant comes today, they have done more harm than good and shouldn’t receive any thanks for all these trauma they have put people in.

  429. SEM should hasten the disbursement of the grant. Bearing in mind that Nigerians are one of the most skeptical and divisible people when it comes to new ideas. Unfortunately the enemies of this grant are rising daily against the SEM vision to corrupt any positive impression behind the grant and even make the environment unsafe for SEM goal to actualize. SEM have database of beneficiaries and all it takes to fulfill their goal within stipulated time, but have choosen to jeopardize the programme through their lingering procastination. We are in a crucial political time, and government oppositions will do everything to set the program down to the grave. SEM are advised to work with specific timeframe and smartness. People have so much believe in you with huge support and prayers.Therefore it is a wiser thing to leave the stage when the ovasion is loudest.

    1. Hahahahaha @ “Disburse or risk it all”.. This is a tactical withdrawal in military terms. This means the donors can ask for a refund of their donations? Hahahaha.. I have always maintained that this fund of a thing is a monumental faux!! I will still be visiting this forum to look read comments of Nigerians hoping on NOTHING!!!

  430. the most painful thing is that this last september, the donor of this grant gave our mr donald the same authoritative order to disburse in october or lose it all. oct is almost ending, another authoritative order is out again to disburse in nov…it is well

  431. What a country. Someone said the donors of d grant hv given donald ultimatum to pay. Who are these elusive donors that people don’t know? Have u read hunters int’l latest article on this grant? That donald has sold his house &cars in abuja & ran away? Since august donald has beem so evasive? why did d namcca & ncs fight come up in october? if sem is scam then it will be father/mother of all scam in nigeria. May God help us

  432. the latest news is that another round of signings will commence this week to end first week in December. disbursement is not near at all. except the money in December. i hope they will have mercy on us because they are not tired of tormenting us.

  433. Why is SEM punishing and killing people silently like this ? Do they have to see people die before they belief that they doing more harm than good with the delayed disbursement? Many left the little things they were doing with the hope to get the grant early enough as promised. Things are detoriating day by day. What is delaying the grant again after the quarel has been settled? I learnt the quarrel was the only thing delaying the grant. SEM should pity the poor masses who are expectant of these grants. Many needs the family relief fund for just medical attention. I particularly know someone who desired it so much to treat his stroke. Donald Olorunkeye. please have mercy on the poor masses so that God can have mercy on you.

  434. @mike. You are right, truth is bitter. Pls people don’t put all your hope on this Free money, look for something to do in case. Me, if it works fine, if it doesn’t life goes on. But I will advice people to stop posting fake updates.

  435. @bako. Emergency meeting till 30/10. They will not stop doing meetings .. This issue is not as difficult as they are carrying it, except if the ‘ Headmaster ‘ is hiding something. Meeting upon meeting , I think all of them shd be flogged out of the meeting if their meeting will yield no benefit except future delay. It is well

  436. Nigerians and gullibility, it is very glaring that this is a big scam and people are still waiting for money that is no where.
    That is how MMM subscribers refused to accept the obvious until is too late.

  437. I thank Austin,blessedmike and for their efforts so far.we are still hopeful.I don’t think seem and Donald will ridicule themselves like that.majority of the money were collected by national NGOs and they still come to outlet 6% and are still sharing it for them after charging almost a million for registration. The benevolent ones collected about 200k for what sem said is free.those guys are terrible.

  438. If you have negative comments, keep it to yourself.
    Its not a must you post it here…
    Or find another site…
    Only positive thinkers are here…

    1. My friend is like you are one those running this site from all indications. What do you mean by negative comments? I guess you don’t even stay anywhere near Abuja? In as much as we all want this grant to be disbursed, truth must be told. Not all these ur updates with no concrete source. Are you aware Dr Donald has an appointment with EFCC tomorrow? You come here claiming to know much, when you know nothing.

    2. @ BlessedMike, Why dont you leave them with their negative thought ??? I will advice you to stop posting info here bcs many of them will not believe you. Keep concrete info within yourself. Just come read and leave. Thanks

      SEM grant is not a right but privilege. If it comes fine, if it does not come fine. It is additional. B4 this grant we all have our daily job and if you dont have it, look for it. Many of us have put our totality on it. Human confidence, is a vanity. Lets put all our totality in God. It is well. Thanks

  439. Disbursement should be done through the Chairmen/secretaries. Those National coordinators did nothing to bring in members of each outlet. They just collect monies from the chairman and other Directors and it ends there . Come to Abuja and come and see what some of them are putting up. They have made serious fortunes, even if there’s no disbursement again, it won’t affect them and their families.

  440. Visit link for confirmation of Yemi Osinbajo’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/drehuwa/status/1055049709109284864?s=17

    Who says the government is not aware of SEM Grant? Prof Osinbajo’s tweet indicates that government is not only aware, government is also in full support. The VP tweeted this obviously to counteract opinions attributing the disbursement of the grant to a possible incidence of inflation. The VP opined that, rather than causing inflation, SEM Grant will boost the nation’s economy. HAPPY WEEKEND

  441. In all situation, let’s keep Praising God???
    To everyone who have been clamoring to hear from Brr Donald about this grant, the truth is that the voice of NAMCCA is the voice of Donald because right from the very start, Bar Donald want to pay directly into the outlets account and pay the National coordinators off because the GRANT is meant for grass root but along the line, the NGO’s form association and Called themselves NCL in other to have one voice and team up against SEM to actualize their purpose. Along the line, Bar Donald also formed NAMCCA who happens to be the association of outlet chairmen to also stand their grand because as one man in Nigeria you can’t fight against the majority but looking at the population of the outlet chairmen, they’re more in number than the National coordinators. So instead of seating down here to call the scheme a scarm, we should work together with NAMCCA to curb the excesses of National coordinators because not the National coordinators gather the bank but the outlet chairmen, if the grant should be disbursed to the NGO’s account, a lot of you will only hear of it, it won’t get to you.

  442. last year, one of my friends applied for a grant in zaria, they promised to give them N50m. most people did not believe, all they were saying is how can it be possible. feb this year, he just saw an alert on his phone. when he checked, it was 30m that was credited to his acc. a month later, he received the balance of 20m. when i told him that i applied for a 10m grant that can it be possible to receive such amount as grant? he reminded me what happened to him. i read the article on hunters international about calling this program a scam. october has not ended, we still have mon and tue to give them the benefit of doubt. let us wait and see what happens next week.

  443. The latest update is that the national cords and NAMCCA has come to an agreement.
    The so called EFCC has surrendered…
    The fight that just took place between The 2 elephants is an indication that we should not expect fear and just disbursement….
    We will surely be cheated…
    Any amount they give you, take, accept and be giving thanks…
    Another indication is than the 1b that was cut to 500m for each outlet, the beneficiary may pay for it
    This is Nigeria…
    Congratulations anyway…

  444. @ segun_3 sir…, according t the sharing formula given by your NGO, this is how it looks like
    500m (10%)
    100m-national cord
    100m-coop of NGO
    100m=chairman
    25m-director(to be shared among 5 directors)
    50m-sec
    25m-com leader
    25m-volunteers
    25m-bank
    25m-reg cord
    25m-state cord
    all mfo will donate this amount to their national cord, coop of ngo, reg cord and state cord. judging by the numbers of mfo in a state, the state cord are in serious money. now for the nat cord, sum up all the mfo in all the 36 states including fct, some of them will start using money to flush out their toilet.

  445. I read on social exchange facebook platform that Abuja office was opened yesterday and work in swift progress.I also learnt from today’s meeting that the coordinators has calm down and come to agreement with the chairmen association (Namcca) so there is head way now.any contrary report on today’s meeting pls

  446. Yes…The fight, the drama, the trouble, will soon end…
    …just that our self-centered Coordinators (all of them,both national & regional/local) do not share the aspiration of the Donors. Who then are the Men-of-God? the title Holders or the Donors?

    Disbursement plan to the OUTLETS has been set. The controversy now is reaching compromise by each party. The Nat COORDs are so stiff to compromise by virtue of their Powers/Given Authority, the NAMCCA members by reason of their privileged Right, and SEM is only “Can’t Act” having earlier parted its Sole Authority via weak regulations/guidelines. But know this: SEM is ready ONCE the other two parties are set!

    Hnnnn……nnh!
    Who cares to understand me should do so. I don’t generalize it. There is an influential NGO!!! There are NGOs, and there is an NGO. This NGO I can say (I don’t know for others…ooh) is already with the money, or say some money, for disbursement to the Outlets.
    Beware that there is an NGO that, apart from the money that passes through SEM, get some money DIRECTLY from outside additionally.

    EXPO: Who knows whether the NAMCCA members rigidity in their benefits is what gave rise to the decision to REDUCE the amount to be credited to the Outlets, perhaps reduced entitlement of the NAMCCA members!

  447. Well I don’t believe that NGOs and namcca are holding the grant.sem has the final say.if they are sincere and want to disburse they have the money and they have the contact of all mfos they can instruct them to open acct and the pay the money and lean it.then call meeting group by group and train and instruct them before the unlean it.within 4 weeks beneficiaries will be smiling.sem is not ready for any disbursement.don’t believe the NGOs and chairmen are holding anything. It just super story to escape the October deadline.

  448. @Adeniyi, @inno,N4L: what is really going on sincerely, i guess as it is now the grant is no more 10billion per MPO, how much is it now, the sharing formula is no more the issue to me, how much are the poor masses expecting, everybody involved in the disbursement process of this grant are crook, it’s a pitty, that is what corrupt leaders has done to this country, there is no more fear of God, Pastors, clergy’s involved in this kind of mess, well I’m not judging them, i just pitty the poor masses.

  449. @collins sir…the 10% of 10b is 1b which is meant for them(nat coord down to the lowest in rank) to share, but now the 10% is 500m.

  450. The baby that says his mother will not sleep, will himself stay long awake.
    Let’s leave them till they are tired …
    No fight last forever…
    Donald is playing diplomacy between the national cords and NAMCCA,
    Even though he seemingly support NAMCCA, but playing safe with the national cords…
    The fight, the drama, the trouble, will soon end…

  451. THE FEAR OF THE GLARING FACT IN THE BELOW PUBLICATION HAD PROMPTED THE DONORS OF THIS LONG EXPECTED/DELAYED GRANT TO SHOW THEIR GENEROSITY TO THE TARGET BENEFICIARIES/DESTINED POOR. THE DONORS HAVE DONE THEIR PART; SEM IS NOT RELENTING; BUT NGOs NAMCCA BOTTLENECK CONSCRIPTING EFCC ADDED TO THE DELAY AND ON MANY OCCASIONS INFLUENCED AND THWARTED SEM’s STEPS.

    EXCERPT FROM PUBLICATION>>>Nigeria’s population is estimated to be between 180 million and 200 million and the country is projected to jump from seventh and become the third most populated country in the world by 2050 with a projected 300 million-strong population.
    The rapid population growth is expected to also make Nigeria the residence of many of the world’s poorest people by 2050 as a report by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation projects 40% of the extremely poor people in the world will live in just two countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria.>>>

    THERE IS A MAJOR NGO WHOSE INFLUENCE IS MUCH AND OTHER NGOs HAVE NO OPTIONS THAN TO ALIGN. THAT IS WHY SOME INFORMATION SOURCED FROM THESE SMALL NGOs FAIL AND CONFLICTS. THE APEX NGOs ROLE IS CRITICAL TO SPEEDY DISBURSEMENT.

    NOTE: THE MISTAKE IN THIS GRANT IS MAJORLY FROM SEM AND THE APEX NGOs. THE COOPERTIVES/OTHERS FIGHTING UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF NAMCCA WERE GIVEN SOME LEVELS OF RIGHT(FIGHT-BACK AUTHORITY) VIA THE “COLLATERAL AGREEMENT FOR DISBURSEMENT” THAT THEY SIGNED WITH SEM, COUPLED WITH THE IMPETUS THAT THEY ACTUALLY MOBILIZED THE PROSPECTIVE BENEFICIARIES FROM GRASSROOTS(BOTTOM-UP). LET THEM FOLLOW THE AGREEMENT, THEN RE-STRATEGIZE IN 2ND BATCH. SIMPLE.

  452. @ekson,so you mean that is no longer 10b but 1b and from 1b now to 500m for each mfo containing 1000 applicants ? What will the beneficiaries for which this money was drafted for get then? Nigeria and Africa are really a shit hole :is that 500m each for mfo the only money they will get all through the project? Because if so, it means that beneficiaries may not get more than 300k for the entire excise.

  453. @ BlessedMike sir… you made a statement that if truly they(chairmen) are fighting for the masses and i liked it. i went to see my principal director last sat and she told me the money they were to share at each mfb before things changed was N1b but now it is now N500m. she now said how to share the money is what is causing this delay…
    from what she said i knew they are not bothered whether we get the money soon or not, what they are after is how they will share the money and how a large % goes to them. then i knew the national coords or the state coords and the chairmen/princial dir dont have our interest in mind..
    it is only God that can fight for us the masses not even our pastors (bcos most of the nat cord /state ord/chairmen are ministers of God) can.

  454. @ D truth, there’s no need to kill urself over nothing the grant will definitely come wen it will come, the best u can do now is prayers for God to intervene against all withholding powers as for ur coordinator and the issue of ur director witholding disbursement, tell them I said categorically that they are liars as no disbursement fund has been release to anybody I stand to be corrected though, if only they can provide evidence of sincerity to their claims otherwise I advice you go about ur normal business and hope for the best to come.
    While I wish to commend all that had maked out time to update us on the past/recent happenings with SEM activities, I wish to advice that we don’t take all that is said here as being the true position of things. 80% of the informations are misleading & unnecessarily increasing tension to the beneficials. Pls relax and be prayerful as all indications shows that d grant is real, all we need now morethan ever before is just Gods intervention so that it doesn’t end up to be one of Nigerians failed programs.
    God bless us as we wait to get the grant

  455. I called my coordinator and he is telling me some things I cant come to terms with.. Say our director said that he had to hold on for our disbursement because some other outlets were jealous and so he doesn’t want….
    I fact, ebe like say that my director dey mad for head.. If I Para u ppl will say I’ve started again.. What kind of idiotic excuse is that one? Na wetin dey do all stakeholders for this grant sef… When it came to the most important stage of this grant all im getting is bullshit!! One step forward, three steps backwards.. Damn and I need this money like…

  456. @ Ekson
    It is not a crime if national cords started a project and the corperative chiarmen complete it, if truly they are fighting for the mass.
    In all their meetings, they only talk of sharing formulars, they never reassure the beneficiary of how much they will get.
    They never talk of family releif anymore.
    They never explained if they will pay it once, or twice or 3 times…
    They have never mention if beneficiaries will get the same amount they applied for…
    Does the 3-10 Million still stand?
    They are only interested in the share they will get…
    Don’t be surprised if the grant eventually comes, and they just give you a token, just to keep your mouth shut, because their is no arrangement for beneficiary who really owns the fund…

  457. EXPOSING THE GRANT TO EFCC IS VERY GOOD. IT SHOWS THE GRANT IS REAL. EFCC WILL MAKE SURE NO ONE TAKE MORE THAN HIS/HER OWN SHARE , ESPECIALLY THE SHARE OF THE MASSES(BENEFICIARIES) BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD BE TRUSTED INCLUDING SEM. ( EFCC INTERVENTION IS THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS).

  458. It is evidently clear that SEM and it’s leadership has no direction, how do you explain it, that outlet chairmen are tossing SEM like a pendulum. Someone who said SEM has no operational guidelines is correct. When there is no rules from start, there will be lawlessness , that is what is happening now. In fact SEM is the cause of all this nonsense , becos they have footdrag for long about disbursement. When a man stays too long on top of shit , all manner of flies will be coming to pay him visit. When a man does not know where he is going or what to do, others will lead him to where they want to go and not necessarily where he planned to go. Can you imagine outlet chairmen telling SEM what to do, to the extent of haulting the process of disbursement, what a shame . No wonder our country cannot move forward. This is just the picture of Nigeria. If truly SEM has this grant at it disposal and they stand for what they claim they are then let them do the needful. This is where procrastination , going back and forth by SEM has led us to. In all this I think , it is SEM and it leadership that should be blamed for allowing all these loopholes that the so called chairmen took advantage of. In closing, for the sake of the poor masses, SEM shd do all it can do to get to track. It is well.

  459. i dont see the national coords as the greedy ones, the chairmen of each mfo. before these chairmen came along (even some of them joined this year), our national coords as been existing from inception. so why would someone just arise from somewhere to hijack the process they have started to complete it for them. shame on them all.

  460. For those who attach importance to SEM office under lock by EFCC, EFCC is not our problem, at all…
    Let me explain
    NAMCCA is National Multipurpose Corperative Chairmen Association, of which the NGOs chairmen for this grant are part of them.
    It was the NGOs chairmen for this grant that reported the National coordinators to NAMCCA, who in turn exposed this grant to anti graft agency, CBN and EFCC.
    If the national cords and the corperative chairmen settle their rift today, disbursement will take place with either the SEM office is open or not.
    The issue is not about SEM again, its about the outlets receiving funds from the national cords, from where each corperative will give direction to beneficiaries for disbursement.
    Presently, as am talking to you, the national cords will rather die or lose the grant for ever than allowing the NGOs/corperative to disburse.
    Nigeria EFCC is not that tough, except they have backing of an influential group (or government)
    NAMCCA invited EFCC, and only NAMCCA can resettle it, only if the national cords allow them to disburse.
    We can now know where to channel our prayers…
    The same piple that said we should fast and pray, are still the cause of the delay.

    1. You can’t disburse such huge amount without proper clearance from EFCC. Saying that disbursement can take place without EFCC’S clearance and monitoring is not true. We are talking of Billions of dollars. SEM” MUST” comply with Nigeria’s financial Laws whether they like it or not, even if the money is coming from outside. Do you know that EFCC can block that account and nothing, I repeat nothing will happen until SEM complys with the required financial law. We should stop spreading wrong information. Our earnest prayer is that, this is with EFCC should be resolved quick. Whatever method SEM chooses to disburse, it’s their right. The money doesn’t belong to those greedy cords and chairmen. After all, they ve succeeded in extorting millions of naira from their members.

  461. This sharing formular is not for public consumption. What d masses need is their %. On the tussles b/w namcca & ncs, does SEM don’t hv an operational guidelines to guide its operations? Why must SEM be tossed around? I am not a nc nor c/man but the questions to ask are 1. Who did sem first contact to mobilize people for this grant 2. Who did sem receive projects from? The answers to thes questions may help sem out of this quagmire

  462. From Ishiba,

    Copied!

  463. From kingdom wealth
    Good afternoon fellow cooperators, I understand October is rounding up to end the month.. In the event of the EFCC busy investigating SEM on the funds explanation in their account, Work was on hold, which resulted to the delay of the disbursement exercise. Please be patient and bear with them.
    The beauty of this investigation is that it has revealed that the grants is real.
    This project is God’s special manner to Nigeria, that is why the devil is using forces to delay it.
    Let’s focus our prayers that every forces of delay to the disbursement should begin to lose power over this grant. I strongly believe that we all must surely smile at last.
    Thank you and God bless.

  464. Just finished chatting with ishiba state coordinators that attended their meeting in Abuja. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you that the grant is very real but the problem we are having now is with the national coordinators and namcca or whatever they call themselves. Donald was present in their meeting yesterday and they couldn’t conclude. Reason being that both namcca and the national coordinators wants the money to pass through them and at diz juncture, nobody is willing to step down for each other. They had to adjurn the meeting to today. And even today, they still argued over the same issue which the meeting became inconclusive too. Till tomorrow again. Now, it’s so obvious that diz set of greedy old men and women arebusy fighting for their pockets and have forgotten the reason why the money came initially. Let’s just hope they reach an agreement tomorrow, so that disbursement can kick start

  465. Yes oooo. SEM office is still under lock and key as at 1630hrs.
    But learnt that work is ongoing in a different location
    I don’t understand. Confused so to say

  466. SEM office is still under lock and key as at today 24th October 2018. I don’t know if they have two offices. No disbursement this month, that I can tell you.

  467. We learnt the meeting did not end yestiday but still continue today.
    Bar Donald is physically present and is expected to give final verdict…

    1. @Blessedmike. It means that SEM office has been opened because I heard so.

      If S.E.M office has been opened, that’s a good news for disbursement activities to start.

  468. @ Lee. We know we alk had dreams & aspirations b4 d grant. Its not that easy that Most of us will not remove from d grant. It is psychological. Let us have an official statement from any of security agencies dat d grant is scam then within days we will forget abt it. We should impress upon SEM to commence disbursement immeadiately.

  469. Please before this grant, I believe people had a life full of dreams and aspirations. Now it’s looking like some don’t get this grant their lives will become useless. Don’t let that happen to you. Focus on the things you’ve been doing before, that kept your vision of success alive. If the grant comes, then you can just use it to accentuate your dreams. Shikena

    1. Just spoke with SEM office, I was told the office is still under lock and key by the EFCC. Actually, Donald was given some conditions to meet b4 it will be opened. He’s back in the country and he has a meeting with the EFCC on Monday 29th, where hopefully he will present documents required of him by the agency after which if satisfied, the office will be re-opened for activities

  470. @ Jayone offices open from 8am in the morning. Pls go back now to get correct info and relay same to the house.
    Meanwhile here in port Harcourt it is my understanding from Golden bridge multipurpose, that applicants don’t have anything more to do with SEM but with their outlets which will get directives from their cooperatives.
    Leave SEM they have done their work let the NGO’S and outlets do theirs: your grant will get to you soon.

  471. @Daniel. Pls who has any info why SEM office is yet to be opened? . As at this morning of 24/Oct, the office is still under these seal and lock of efcc. What is happening? . I actually went there this morning myself at Utako, Abuja. It is well ooooooh

  472. I got this information on kingdom wealth and people are attesting to it though am from Bethany.
    Hi,people who care to believe me.To say the truth, I as one of those going to benefit from this Grant, after 17/10/2018, have ‘shaking mind’,when the promise were not met.But the good news now is that,every beneficiaries are going to get their grant with ease.according to the genuine information I received, every OUTLET were instructed to open an account with the name on their certificate, where the money( grant) will be transfer to.pls let our expectation on it be low,for it(money) to get to ur hand,it may be early next month.Thanks…. I’m not coordinator ooooooo

  473. This grant is very funny :in a moment, they will rumor that is coming ;and in the next time, all hopes are dashed.
    After the rumored disbursement claimed to be already in the cooperative accounts ;most of the people that rumored are now confused. Why is it that the singular task of people staying close to sem office in Abuja to check and know if is open ;is an impossible one ? I am just watching the wholes drama.

  474. @ Dayo, They will collect it for now, unless sem says no way. And there is no how sem can track it. thanks. some people might register in more than one ngo. Thanks

  475. SEM SHOULD KNOW THAT IF THEY DELAY TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THE GRANT COLLECTED BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR(9 WEEKS TO GO) , NIGERIA MIGHT NOT MEET UP THE PROCESS FOR NEXT YEAR (2019) GRANT. THIS GRANT IS EXPECTED TO RUN FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS (UP TILL 2030) .SEM SHOULD NOT BE LIKE OUR NFA THAT COULD NOT GET FIFA GRANT FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GIVE ACCOUNT OF THE GRANTS COLLECTED EARLIER. EARLY ACCOUNTABILITY IS WHAT IS REQUIRED TO QUALIFY FOR COMING YEAR GRANT. SEM SHOULD NOT DENY NIGERIA THIS ANNUAL GRANT AS A RESULT OF DELAYS IN DISBURSEMENT OF COLLECTED GRANT.

  476. Comments of OMATAYI not to be dis-believed. Yet,not to be taken as a vivid arrival until outcome of the next week’s Meeting of the State Directors and the Nat Coords with[….]. The outlet Chairs/their Secs are not to participate cos of crowd.
    Actually, as a preparation towards the anticipated crucial meeting, my State Dir (maybe others too)held emergency meeting with all Outlet Chairs/Secs today. Meeting of Zonal Dirs urgently fixed and to take place b4 the Abuja meeting.
    As per whether some Outlets were credited recently, it could not have been directly from SEM. Recall that the NGOs,having said to have been credited by SEM recently, each has its modus operandi on how they work/relate with their respective Outlets. Things can happen, things can be paused, just for harmonization with other things. let no one be in a fix and be troubled but rather be happy and be watchful A LITTLE MORE. The outcome of the meeting is a decisive one on pay mode.
    Rgds

  477. @ omotayo. The said update is not on sem website. Where did it emanate from. Namcca(c/men forum), national coords have already made their millions if not billions from sales of forms, training fees, certificate sales , verifications, proposal fees & what have u. All these are at d expense of d ordinary masses in these hard & difficult times. SEM, NGOS, NAT. COORDS, NAMCCA SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THERE IS GOD WIHO RULES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN. THE GROANINGS OF THE EXPLOITED POOR MASSES ARE POWERFUL PRAYERS. THE TIME TO DO THE NEEDFUL IS NOW

  478. @Omatayi,this goes a long way to signify that no cooperative or NGOs has been credited and we should be expecting any lead information probably after 23rd meeting, where all NGOs would have submitted their account details for onward disbursement :and that is, if they did not change in another plan. Meanwhile, please when did this information come? What date precisely?

  479. My concern is tusrels b/w namcca(chairmen’s forum) national coords/ngo. These sets of people have made their millions if not billions thro sales of forms, verification, certificates & what have u. It is we d bottom beneficiaries dat are at d losing end in this their drama. Ipray GODto intervene on our behalfs. The said update from kingdom wealth is not on SEM WEBSITE. Its look copy & paste or what do u say

  480. A friend sent this to me, what do you say about it?

    THIS IS FROM KINGDOMWEALTH PLATFORM. PLEASE READ AND REACT TO THE CLAIMS HERE, ESPECIALLY THE SUBMISSION OF ACCOUNT NUMBERS.

    Dear Chairmen and Directors,
    SEM update is timely especially during this period. The update is self explicit but I will like to break it down for a better understanding.
    ? SEM has advised intending subscribers to shorn the spreading rumour that the programme is *SCAM*
    ? SEM had a few short fall of time as a result of the recently resolved EFCC invitation resulting from the petition of some Chairmen and their national coordinators. *About three to four weeks was lost.*
    ? SEM through the update has apologized to everyone for the delay caused by the investigation
    ? SEM has directed all duly collaterally registered NGOs and Cooperatives to immediately submit the commercial bank accounts of each microfinance outlets under them to SEM for disbursement. By implication all outlets are expected to submit a commercial bank account through which disbursement will be made to their mother NGOs and cooperatives. It is expected that the mandate of the bank account of the outlet to be submitted must be three signatories. (chairman, secretary & treasurer)
    ? NGOs and cooperatives have been advised by SEM to endeavour to resolve any issue(s) with their respective partners and directors of each outlets under them.

    *THE END OF EVERY JOURNEY IS BETTER THAN THE BEGINNING*

    *AT LAST GOD IS FOREVER FAITHFUL*

    *CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE*

  481. @adeniyi if u look at some people’s comments u will see they’re presenting the a strong point, saying SEM has not disbursed the to any outlet, saying that SEM has to first do this, CBN has to first do that and all what not, so it’s hard to take a stand here… But one thing is for sure.. If my director claims he’s a bin is credited, he can not come back and say it was a mistake.. Because sooner people will start asking that since the monies are in the account and then what is he waiting for and why has he not disbursed… So, I’m in a fix here… Abeg, make una help me here.. Whose report should be we believe?

  482. @ Dayo, You may believe in both. What i know is that fund is at door step, no more in Abuja. People that have been credited may not to tell u for security reason. Thanks.

  483. @ D Truth, i wish to know you physically in ibadan. what he told u is true. You name is d truth online here but u dont believe in your name as truth. Some outlet has been credited. bethany use zenit bank. Many of ngo ceo have received cheque. Thanks

  484. This people should understand that delay can be dangerous, all these fight is not for our sake but for their personal gain of which with SEM crediting the outlets directly they still stand to gain something but because of their greed they want it to pass through them ignoring the fact that if delayed for too long they too may end up loosing what they supposed to gain now, ” a penny at hand is better than a million in the bush “. They better wise up and not let greed kill them. Have they even bothered to think of what happens if another body hijack this grants ?

  485. The sad thing is that 98% of recipients are not sure if this grant actually exists. All we see are copy and paste messages possibly curated by a crafty minds and forwarded to fulfil their sinister agenda.

    However, if this grant is real, it will be the first (and perhaps last) good thing to ever happen to the masses since the independence of this dependent nation.

  486. @ blessemike we were told in a seminar organised by bethany at akure that we can register more than 1,does it mean those people would nt be given dia money?

  487. @Blessedmike
    Will SEM cancel the name?
    A friend registered in a MFO, another MFO in the same NGO invited him for verification throgh SMS. Pls note – he has only purchased form from the first MFO.

  488. @ David
    SEM for now has no way of detecting those who registered in different cooperatives. Since they are not imploring biometric and BVN… The only crime is registering twice in d same NGO/ Cooperative.
    To my fellow beneficiaries here:
    The battle of National cords versus NGO/cooperative is still ongoing.
    The national and states cords have vehemently disagreed with SEM and Donald in crediting the outlets directly, rather than disbursing through the national cords…
    And to be candid, only God’s intervention can settle the rift in the next meeting…

  489. PLS…. COPIED BUT NEED REPLIES
    Pls,ooooo someone ask this question but I don’t have a clear answer for it.” WHAT IS D DISADVANTAGE OF REGISTERING IN MORETHAN ONE NGO OR COOPERATIVE?

  490. my regards @Rightchuks. Your comment of October 12, 2018 at 8:36 pm cannot be doubted. From several hand-writings in my region I believe my NGO too contribute to the delay in the disbursement. …the contest between the said NGOs and NAMCCA had been the challenge, and is hopefully settling totally depending on outcome of next week’s crucial meeting.

  491. The power and joy of money is what so many people are yet to understand. Once it is handy,even if it extends to next month, the enthusiasm will cause you forget the past pains, and forget(abi forgive) your enemies.The hands of the apex coordinators have been on deck this while to meet deadlines.They mean well for you destined privileged beneficiary, and just as they have been cautioned. They are arriving. After all, they themselves have good share in the grant that they should not unnecessarily delay the disbursement. Very very soon many will be praying for them.
    Let the wise be wise still; negative emotions/unnecessary desperation maim the soul! Rather relax the more and be watchful. It is well, very very well.

  492. @BlessedMike and Co, many people appreciate your contributions on this platform. But, I will still advise, don’t utterly and readily give dates of crucial events (Meetings) nor mention nor be specific on particular NGO plans of action. Based on observations on past comments by people,they would always question THE MORE to know the outcome with resulting rising tensions, especially if there are adjustments to what had been discussed during the said ‘Meeting’. Reference[@Usi
    October 15, 2018 at 3:26 pm ] talking about the 23rd Oct.

    The Anchor Coordinators’ confidentiality in their operations sometimes extend to the Meeting days. They have good reason for that.
    Settled! the grant has been here,and very close than ever. Then the people who had had patient since have no good reasons to give up if they had actually carefully followed and understood the sequence of posts on this platform. I know that so many beneficiaries who have conscience, upon getting the grant,will regret their comments/agitations and nervousness.
    PEACE!

  493. @ Daniel
    You will never find answer to your question, for now…
    Because the national and state coordinators can not risk kidnapping and arm robbery.
    However, expect goodnews soon, there will be a crucial meeting on the 23rd of this month.
    SEM is not working to our instructions rather based on International standards of financial security.
    We don’t need to panic or disturbs ourselves, no body will tell you exactly what is going on but be rest assured that the authorities are working hard to implement the SEM grant as required.
    Money is here already, SEM cannot return it. They are working hard to use the best way for disbursement as soon as necessary.
    Let us pray to be alive in sound health to be part of this great Divine gesture. It must surely reach you by God’s grace.
    May God bless us all.

  494. If you refresh on my post of October 12 @8:36pm (My Personal Observation), you will get a clearer picture of what is playing out.

    I’m neither NAMCCA nor NaCoord executive. I only bring you updates as they come, for you to know the actual state of things.

    More importantly for those spitting frustration in this forum to know the Genesis of their grief.

    However, as this grant has been seen to be true, let everyone be relaxed, go about your normal biz and hope for the Best out of this program.

    Again: ITS A JOURNEY OF HOPE & GREAT PATIENCE.

  495. Has NAMCCA made a U-Turn?
    (Just like Obasanjo did)
    Let’s keep watching…
    @ Selcap
    Be guarded with your choice of words…
    No be by force to read post here…
    Nobody was paid to give information here…

  496. NAMCCA again?????
    From the said “Minutes of Meeting”, it’s like Rightchuk is a member of NAMCCA! Can someone read the below past posts on the said dates?

    MY LATEST FINDINGS
    There is an update we need to talk to God about- some aggrieved individuals have petitioned the Central Bank of Nigeria about the nefarious activities of some NGOs. Quite unfortunately, the CBN sent the petition(s) to EFFC. ………

    …..NAMCCA is just an evil that is indirectly trying to disrupt this grant. They engineered the EFCC raid at SEM office. Imagine the chaos they’re creating.

    NAMCCA is an association of CEOs across the country formed and registered to protect the CEOs and Directors from the excessive greed of the national NGOs and CO-OPs.
    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
    FROM ABOVE, NAMCCA IS PROTECTING THEIR OWN INTEREST AND NOT THE INTEREST OF THE BENEFICIARY.
    Hmmmmmmm!

  497. @right chuks…it means disbursement is no where near.there was no discussion about the progress of disbursement.the meeting no get head sef.it’s obvious that NAMCCA is not fight for the interest of the masses rather their own selfish interest.
    Thunder will fire whosoever come here to give updates he/she is not sure of.raising people’s hope over what is not.

    BUSINESS OF THE DAY:- We quickly move to business of the day to let him know who NAMCCA is the aim and objectives of the body.
    (B) we also talk about the challenges of the chairmen especially those outside this Abuja environment due to information deficit. Challenge ranging from exploitation, harassment, intimidations, selfishness poor leadership and other abnormalities..

    (c) We also talked about the reason why SEM office has been locked by EFCC and the challenges. Which responded by telling us the program is God’s program and no intentions of SCAM has is been speculated. And he mention some of the challenges SEM has face lately and how God have been able to help so far. But gave assurance that everything will be sorted out soon and normal operation to disbursement will commence. While we as a body also pledge our unending support and cooperation to himself and to DAO consult/ SEM.

    REMARKS:- he gave us assurance that is ready and willing to work with us and promise of maximum cooperation to put the saboteur of the program to check.
    He also gave the assurance that disbursement will be direct to every MFO/ MFI. For the aim of project to be Achieved. He also in the same light, he calls
    for periodical meeting for the success of program….
    Col Dosunmu also talked about the need for us to meet with Barr Donald because it has become more important to meet with him for proper deliberation and directions. And Apst Segun Adekunle gave assued us that surely Barr Donald will come and have meetings with us, but is busy right now, working for the progress of the program… But he assure us that MOU/ MOA the coordinators are deceiving and forcing people to sign will not work and thereby remain null and void. Henceforth, no body should sign it again anything MOU again.

    Nat’l sec
    AFOLABI

  499. @Blessed, and yet some of you assured us that money has been remitted to the cooperative headquarters account? Is obvious that 17th will come and go with no meaningful arrangement already made. That is a problem.

  500. @ Segun
    The verification, certificate and I D card they are given them is a way of keeping their hope alive.
    All these has nothing to do with your grant.
    Some NGOs will do these along with disbursement.
    What you should focus on is when will the grant come, and how you will invest it…
    The message you should be expecting at this late hour is DISBURSEMENT
    If verification is prerequisite to disbursement, they would have called you

  501. The strategy to be deployed by my NGO’s Director (National Coordinator) is what is hard to understand. Imagine the State Coordinators just being invited to a crucial meeting at Abj early next week.
    Yet, gooooood. Hope still high.

  502. can I get help here.Am a first timer here.i registered under Bethany NGO in lagos and was given a certificate under new way MFO.I was told to come for verification but on the said date,the director had a seminar with us which took most of the time and verification exercise was stopped due late hour.we were told a message will be sent to us after RCCG convention and as I write,there has not been a single call or message and no update on their platform.I called a friend who happens to be a coordinator .All he said was if you believe,have faith.Any update for me on this please.

  503. But if you attended their (Bethany’s) powerful seminal and presentation, which they held in June, you will realize how bold, sure and confident they are regarding to the grant.
    The fact that Bethany don’t make noise doesn’t mean you should doubt them

  504. @ Dayo
    Bethany has unique ways of doing things.
    Don’t compare Bethany with Ishiba, Kingdom Wealth or St Rita…
    In Bethany
    (1) You will not be called for account opening until your grant is ready
    (2) You will not be called for verification, your phone number is enough for that
    (3) Certificate is not compulsory, you can get it when you see your grant physically…
    (4) They don’t share updates, all they believe is ” when your grant is ready, you will be called”
    (5) Bethany may decide to pay you by other means, as SEM did not give any other concerning that…
    However, either Bethany or Ishiba, we shall all meet at millionaire’ top together one day…

  505. All they will tell you in Bethany office is
    ” expect goodnews soon”
    Some cooperative and NGO leaders are economical with information…
    Little wonder some piple tag the scheem as scam…

  506. @ the truth
    What surprised me is that you claim you belong to Bethany in Ibadan, where I belong also.
    I don’t know if you have been to Bethany office in Ibadan @ Mesiogor Complex, Room 8b, Ijokodo, Ibadan.
    If you go there, they wont give you update, they will only tell you to go and wait for goodness, which will surely come.
    That is why I join social media to update myself, through the members of other cooperatives.
    Apart from this group, I still get updates from Telegram group, facebook group and Watsapp group.
    @ Truth, if you rely on Ibadan Bethany Office for update, you will be lacking information (only to come and transfer aggression here)
    Let’s flow with this fellows
    Adeniyi, Eben, Omotayi, Austin, Rightchuk, Eskson and so…
    I believe in there updates
    The grant is very real
    But Nigeria factors is causing delay.
    However, no man will take what belongs to us in Jesus name…

  507. @ Femi, Yes it is at hand with SEM. In previous msg, the 4 commercial banks mentioned, zenit, first bank, access, fidelity are they not those use now. Which lie upon lie u are talking abt ??? Pls, note that, no one can collect beneficiary grant unless ur name is not on the list. the signatories to the mfo a/c are chairman/ pr and secretary. they have signed UCR in Abuja and each mfo a/c will be under watch of EFCC. Even if a beneficiary refuse to claim his/her grant, it will remain with mfo playing. pls be patience. Thanks

  508. why can’t you disclose your NGO? will people come and rob your bank…tell us d truth so we can know how to hold our director.we all here should be our brothers keeper

  509. so mean to tell us categorically that some outlet account have been credited? I belong to Bethany in Ibadan,my director hasn’t contacted us on that regard,though he is seen to be an honest man…na wetin really dey happen sef? abi una dey lie?

    1. @ d truth, if they have not contacted u. contact them yourselves. pls note that some outlet that have been credited are yet to pay out to beneficiaries. Every thing is process. They may still need to open a group a/c for beneficiaries.

      Pls, be patient with them. Fund is already at hand. I know for sure that until some people receive alert in their a/c, they will not believe it. i dont blame them bcs, this kind of successful grant has not happened in Nigeria.. Thanks

  510. Well, one of my friends mfo in bayelsa told my friend that the money is already in their account, but my own mfo has said nothing about their own.

    The uncertainty about my own mfo is that we the beneficiary submitted our various account details during the verification time and even the executives did too :but 2 weeks back they called the executive to open account in a designated account which they did. The end of last week now, instead of arrangement for disbursement, they are saying that beneficiaries will come and open account again, even when they have said that the account opening is only for the executives. That is just the uncertainty.

    1. @ collins, Your director may not want to tell u to avoid query them as u do here. For easy tracking of MFO a/c, they may want you all to have an a/c in their chosen bank. Some directors collected individual bank a/c during verification to satisfy beneficiaries that do complain where they will be credited and for some that collected forms for free to enhance them pay their reg fee.

      Lets wait till latest on the 16th as i heard it that all ngo will be credited. patience is the key. Thanks

  511. One of the major reasons why people doubt is bcos of lack of information from their national coordinators. They are not being carried along. I don’t blame them shaa for their unbelief

    But as for us. Our national coordinator told us to our faces that the money has landed into his account. We are in the stage of account opening and once we are done with the account opening he starts crediting the mfos.

    I dont see the reason why a national coordinator will not be open to his state coordinators that the money is already in his account
    And why would an informed state coordinator keep the info from his chairmen and directors?

    Seriously thinking why, and this is the major reason people still doubt that SEM is yet to disburse to ngos. SEM has disbursed to ngos. Hope u heard me well.

    If ur national coordinator decided to keep the secret from u.

    Our own national coordinator told us to our faces that the money is already in his account, and he is set to start creditig our mfos once the account opening process is completed.

    1. @ Eben, i do not know why some of us argue / complain for nothing sake. SEM has promised us oct 2018, they did not give specific date, we are the one that chosen on 17th being poverty eradication day which is not from SEM. Let s stop saying negative words. I also heard that some NGO have been credited but not disclosing it. i believe that all NGO will be credited b4 17th oct, unless for those that have not open a/c. Lets get prepare on our grant project. @ Eben, i know some people may ask u which NGO u belong to, dont answer them for security reason. Let each one go and ask their Ngo / state leader. We really thank God for the success of this grant and every one with good info. i hope that all of us will not leave this forum when we receive our grant. it is well with us. Thanks

    2. @eben
      The info you provided here is very correct
      And same thing our own national coordinator told us. He even swore to us that the grant won’t pass this October, that if disbursement doesn’t start on 17th it will start with 20something.
      We are done with our own account opening stage long ago, all we await now is the funding, which according to him won’t pass this month.

  512. @Omatayi, welcome back!!! where have you been, we’ve missed you????
    I completely agree with you based on an nformation I received yesterday…

  513. There is nothing like Sem meeting with outlet chairmen and directors on 23rd October 2013. What is trending now is that the sacked Gm has been recalled and will resume duties on Tue pls
    I learnt on good authority that most if not all the cooperative accounts will be credited next week
    Dr Donald is expected back from Germany this week end
    Over 80% of issues with Efcc have been resolved and I know what I’m talking about
    Please i implore all of us the potential beneficiaries of this grant to be discreet, prayerful and optimistic.
    Nothing and I mean nothing will stop the disbursement this month
    SO HELP ME GOD

  514. so some of u here believe that sem wants to meet all outlet managers this platform most tyms is no good, someones idea is given as update most of us dont understand anything yet they talk d most if i may ask what is d reason we outlet dir signed d mou some here dont know i will advice u all to stop saying and insulting NC cos u dont know anything of the war they have fought to get here and again from simple logic how do u think sem will credit outlets chairman and bypassing ngo wen there is agreement on dat and how long will that take for it happen pls lets follow pattern and stop ranting here

  515. From my personal observation, these are some activities responsible for delay in this grant. If you know any of the National coordinators that can tell Truth ask him/her.
    Their thinking is not in line with SEM’s objectives.

    1) The national coordinators. SEM categorically asked them to tell all their registered outlets to open account with designated commercial banks and submit the account details to SEM. That they may credit the outlets. But the national coordinators have not done that rather they have been pressuring SEM to credit the cash to them tha they will deliver to the outlets. This is not SEM’s modus operandi, SEM insists it is bottom-up project. Only a few which includes Bethany have started this process.

    2) They introduced MOA in their meeting quite different from what SEM told them which was (draft MOA favourable to all parties reflecting as well the 10% sharing, bring it to SEM for approval), they redrafted it to their favour without the input if the outlet director and CEOs, and this Nat Cords are pressuring the CEOS and directors tit sign whereas SEM has not approved it cos SEM has frowned at the content of this MOA.

    3) Another is the delay cust by efcc as seen in my last post.

    Advice: PATIENCE, this is a journey of Hope and Great Patience.

  516. @ Collins; SEM has meaningful direction, but Nigerian potholes are slowing down the journey .The truth is that SEM will surely deliver this grant to all by courier depending on your location and how motor able your location is. So do not blame SEM but the corrupt system that keeps fighting Nigeria. SEM has indirectly collected our BVN to ensure smooth disbursement.

  517. Hmm, so much uncertainty covering this project with no meaningful direction. Meetings upon meetings and then disagreement and dilemma :what a country. Before the fund comes, the people in need of it will not find use for it again because plans and counter plans has been overtaken by time spent. God will help us in this nation. No wonder the SEM number went dumb.

  518. SEM will definitely commence disbursement in October .For those that have opened disbursement accounts, expect your payment alert by October ending after the meeting of SEM and outlets managers on 23rd October 2018 in Abuja. Disbursement account details of all beneficiaries will be submitted by all outlets managers on 23rd October 2018 at Abuja. Disbursement is still possible in October as promised by SEM.

  519. My counsel to all of us in the light of all this back and forth that has coloured this scheme is that we should all move on with our lives no matter what. Friends, ones life does not depend on this. If it did not workout as you expect , you pass it and move on, if it does fine. Do not let Oct, Nov , Dec,……….disbursement so called date, give you BP. Pls forget all this grant stuff for now in your mind, free your mind, engage your thinking with something productive that will chart a better path for your future. Pls close the grant book in your heart, take it as if you’ve not applied for any grant and move on. You have better days ahead of you , jettison whatever seems not to be working. Proceed to other thing. Nothing can stop your blessings. It is well

  520. @Austin ,I want to believe this meeting does not apply to all NGO outlet managers, this is an ISHIBA issue,there’s no way all outlet managers will have a meeting with SEM in Abuja on same day. Directors of all MFOs in Nigeria are over 2.5 million people.
    Are there other non – ISHIBA NGOs and MFOs with the same account opening issue? Please confirm

  521. Account opening with Access bank by members of Ishiba outlet Ibadan will be concluded today. Our outlet Manager is expected to submit the members new account details to SEM during a scheduled meeting with SEM and outlets Managers on 23rd october 2018 at Abuja.

  522. @Austin we still waiting for your feed back on u guys in ISHIBA Oshogbo went to open your account with access bank yesterday. So what happened?

  523. *UPDATES FROM SEM DESK*

    We deeply appreciate your love for the financially less privilege Please kindly note as follows:
    1. Rumors of our offices been shut down by EFCC as a result that our project is Scam is very false. We are only invited on the basis of fund explanations found in our domiciliary account. Which we are reaching an agreement soon. We apologize for any short delay this might cause us all.

    2. Projects duly submitted by duly registered MFOutlets are currently being processed; this process shall be completed in few weeks from now.

    3.Hence, all duly collaterally registered NGOs and Cooperatives should endeavor to submit there commercial bank account openning for each MFOutlets under them and endeavor to resolve any issue (s) with their respective partners and Directors.

    Our website: ‘socialexchangemarket.org.ng’ –
    *Thanks Signed Mgt.*

  524. Please, I implore everyone to go about his/her everyday businesses and forget all about this grant because from my personal investigations, this grant is a kind of a hoax!!
    Thank you..

  525. Note that people or organizations don’t just meet for nothing.
    @Austin, some meetings are routine while some are emergency.
    @Femi, meetings are a necessity to get the right result. Can be to adjust, re-strategize, improve on previous deliberation, annul/cancel, and so on.
    @Dank, please don’t abuse anyone on this platform, courtesy of this privileged Grant/Donors’ generosity.
    @Jay one, as you are praying to God to hear our prayers, be reminded that God is the most patient Being, and His children should not easily give up in patience. Some of us registered with ISHIBA since 2016. Also, I applied and won a million-plus grant each for two of my siblings with FADAMA GUYS since last year and documentations/account opening were concluded the last quarter of the said year for a promised disbursement but up till now, we are still expecting, no kobo yet.
    @Collins, the anticipated grant is not doing more harm than good. Rather, we on this platform deliberately and ignorantly create the harm. Most of the prospective beneficiaries that are not conversant with this platform have been so expectant and less disturbed. They simply take and believe information that their coordinators/directors/chairmen told them.
    @abasiofon, please be less nervous while you desire to know.I’m close to you.
    @ekson, ride on.
    Regards to you all!

  526. @Eckson, I have no reason to continue raising dust here ;after all 16th and 17th is just around the corner, when the supposed crediting of all the mfo must be concluded .

    My concern is whether you are given information based on what you are sure of or that you heard because the last time I checked in August when disbursement not more than 200k was made to one church in Abuja :most people here even said that their own outlet confirmed to have received but at the end, it was just that church and that few people that was televised.
    All the same, we have no choice but to keep our hopes high :just that the grant is almost doing more harm than the good by the time delay and inconsistent I formation.

  527. @collins…, yes some MFO have been credited e.g. ifeoluwa MFO(ishiba) where i belong in and some bethany MFO that i have good relationship with their principal coordinators confirmed that they have been credited.

  528. Kingdom wealth, portharcout is totally silent on this pre disbursements.. They claim they have no such info. Sha, this October will raise lots of dusts..

  529. in osogbo, we were taken to access bank to open an account on the 2nd(mind you, some ishiba MFO are domicile @ first bank and some Zenith). how disbursement will take place is to the discretion of the principal director or chairmen. some will issue cheques while others may decide to take their members to the bank where their money is domiciled.
    dr donald will be attending world poverty eradication day summit
    on the 17th of this month and he will not be around on this said date but the report he must give at the summit is that disbursement as started on this day (17th oct). mind you dr donald is working tirelessly to make sure that all MFO must be credited on or before 16th. it is true that some MFO(in ishiba and other ngos) have not been credited but dont lose your sleep over this because all must receive their fund on or b4 16th. if your state or MFO have not been credited there is not wrong with that, it must happen on or b4 16th. tks

  530. believe mi or not there’s nothing like Grant or disbursement…we have been scammed. ..that’s the truth and embrace it

  531. What Austin says about account opening is correct…. thesame with collins….
    Collins calm ur nerves… that u open account since 2 weeks doesn’t mean every MFO in bayelsa has completed Thiers… if I’m not mistaking, u are talking about the acct opening that was at custom road in Bayelsa state.. last month. (Access bank alone). I was there too… but I have reliable info.. that some MFOs are currently sorting theirs out as we speak… (some Zenith, some Access)…..

    And SEM never gave a date from the text they sent to stakeholders… they said it will COMMENCE from october meaning that it may run through October to December or whenever….

    As for Collins and Chizoba…. if u are more interested in the office of the SEM in Abuja being open, u can go with a sledge hammer and break it open so that we can have peace on this forum….. for crying out loud pre disbursement activities are going on. And SEM are HIDING from people like you who may come to harass them of money u didn’t give theme to keep….
    The truth is they have gone very low key so as to attain the success of disbursement…

    I explore everyone to be patient and get ready use ur grants wisely…

  532. @Adebola what do you mean by I should believe what my sources say.
    Address the issue :its SEM office in abuja under lock and key.
    Who and who are disbursing. Show with proof.
    I want this grant more than you but facts are better stated and truth known.
    Thank you. @ Collins don’t mind them jare

  533. @ the truth, Sincerely speaking, I will not hide an info from this platform having benefited much. A text message sent to 1000 members of my outlet is not exclusive. Maybe SEM is dealing with us in batches. I will give more helpful info after my visit tomorrow.

  534. @Austine, you confused me more from your submission :first is that you said that if SEM has gone under ground to actualize the next week disbursement, we should concentrate on their office :and closing it you said that your outlet requested you come and open up account, which is the evidence that they are about to disburse ;that we should focus on our outlet:that is very confusing and contradicting.

    But the truth is that, while your outlet only informed you yesterday to come and open up account :my own outlet and almost all in bayelsa state started that process last 2 weeks ego and would have concluded long before now.

    We were told that disbursement will start from 2nd which we never saw ;but we expect at least that the process would have been on:but nothing seem to be happening. We also expect that the SEM numbers would be open for calls, but that again is not visible. We expect that at least people would have visited their office and give us situation report :at leas t if the office is opened, yet it has become a difficult task ;raising suspicious all the way. That is why there is need for all these to ascertain our faith.

  535. I belong to Ishiba NGO Ibadan Oyo State. I hope to give situation report after my visit to my outlet office for the disbursement account opening tomorrow. I am expected to come with 2 passports,BVN, & N1000. to open an account with Ishiba chosen bank for disbursement.

  536. If SEM have gone underground to actualize next week disbursement , I believe their outlets should be our focus for now. The text message invitation I received from Ishiba NGO to report at my outlet office tomorrow for opening of disbursement account with access bank officials is a signal for disbursement next week. I believe we should relate more with our outlets for now than SEM Abuja office which is far away.

  537. @Austin Which of the ISHIBA NGO sent you the message about opening account with Access bank? Or which of the state coordinators talked about that? Pls I need to know because am also a stakeholder in ISHIBA tanks

  538. @Eben tanks for your earlier info but ISHIBA Lagos state coordinator said the have not been credited by SEM pls throw more light tanks

  539. My people every info. BlessedMike drops here is legit… that account opening is ongoing now .. becus I andey my household have completed ours. In different states under various NGOS with Zenith and access banks. …

    One advice for Collins and Chizoba.. if u are more interested in the office being open than u receiving the grant, then u are chasing shadows…. I advice u to carry a sledge hammer and break the office locks so that u can have peace…… or u shut that basin u call a mouth, and start looking for where u will open that account right now through ur NGO…

  540. @Chizoba,leave them, they said I question every info brought here when I had none to offer :yet their info is not in line with the present trending. I expect them to have told us if SEM office is still under lock and key and why, but they waved it aside even when is very essential to authenticate what ever information they have been peddling here.

    The issue of outlets executives opening account has taken place 2 weeks ego and is not a recent news neither does it show readiness for October disbursement, because a lot of outlets and cooperatives must have concluded that process:so that is not what we are itching our ears to hear.

    Ishiba office in my own area now has been under lock and key for the past 9 days now, raising suspicious and that was the exact period when the efcc issue was rumored. Am not trying to dash our hopes here, but just that we are not addressing the right questions when People ask one and the disbursement template that ought to be out is not yet out here. OK, yesterday Tuesday was a meeting between cooperative heads and the SEM, but we heard no update, unlike the previous weeks.

    The only information that we need now is the person that visited the SEM office in Abuja to confirm to us if that office is still open :since the SEM office phone contacts are off and some new cooperatives are popping up to register more new people.

  541. Amidst all these my sources in Abuja told me that SEM office is still under lock and key. So how is the disbursement info going on. Can someone clarify me on that.

  542. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM ISHIBA NGO DIRECTING ME TO VISIT MY OUTLET OFFICE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT FOR DISBURSEMENT WITH ACCESS BANK ON 11 & 12 OCT. (THIS THUR & FRIDAY), GOOD NEWS FOR ALL.

  543. I strongly advise anyone not to be a victim of such greedy NGO directors which are cunningly demanding extra cash from their enrollees. They are the ones making people to overeact and act as if SEM have robbed them. All documentations and beneficiaries details has been submitted to SEM, who are speedily working on imminent disbursement. Therefore paying unnecessarily is a crime and an attempt for some greedy individuals to rubbish the integrity of the program. Please be warned !!

  544. JUST IN!!!
    THIS INFORMATIONS GOES TO ALL THE CHAIRMEN/SECRETARIES OF OUTLETS.
    OPENING OF OUTLET ACCOUNTS WITH THE COMMERCIAL BANKS ALLOCATED TO THEM IS ONGOING.
    CONGRATULATION TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY OPENED THEIRS,
    AND IF YOU ARE A CHAIRMAN/SECRETARY AND YOU HAVE NOT OPENED YOURS, PLS DO NOT BE DISTURBED OR WORRIED, JUST BE CALM YOU WILL HEAR FROM YOUR NATIONAL COORD SOON.
    THANKS AND GOD BLESS US ALL.

  545. @Femi, nothing in your post suggests that CBN has anything to do with S.E.M grant. Perhaps, you should read your post the umpteenth time and understand it. By the way, this was the wrong forum for your CBN post!

  546. The SEM office that was locked did not take 24 hours.
    The SEM office was locked and reopened. After which some piple heard about it and started spreading the rumour…
    Such news was not meant for the public, in the first instance, because piple will not spread the news when the problem in rectified…

  547. Please my piple. CBN has no power over this grant. If our national coordinators and NGO heads did not exposed themselves to the government, by the reason of disagreement and greed, the CBN and EFCC would have no right to intervein

  548. Predisbursement means the transfer of funds from SEM to the NGOs bank accounts, from where it will be eventually disbursed to each beneficiary…

  549. Which NGO is that?..
    Did you pass through the right NGO?
    Verification, ID card and Certificate did not emanate from SEM…
    In Bethany where I am, there is nothing like verification or ID card. Even certificate is optional. You can get ur certificate when d fund is ready…
    Your phone number and the passport you submitted is enough to identify you…

  550. Pls what about Golden Bridge multipurpose cooperatives. I hope they are one of the NGO’s cos I have not heard anyone on this platform mention them. I applied under them oo.
    This is a blessed week for all of us cos we must smile as SEM unfold disbursement plans for every one that applied.

  551. WE THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND ALL HE HAS BEEN DOING TOWARD THE SUCCESS OF THIS GRANT,
    WE WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT PRE-DISBURSEMENT IS ONGOING,
    IT STARTED SINCE 2ND-16TH OF OCTOBER, THEN FULL DISBURSEMENT WILL BE LAUNCH ON THE 17TH OF OCTOBER,
    ISHIBA, KINGDOM WEALTH AND SOME OTHER CORPERATIVE “NGOS” HAVE BEEN CREDITED, AND HAVE SETTLED IN A COMMERCIAL BANK (PROBABLY ACCESS BANK) ALLOCATED TO THEM,
    LETS BE CALM AND PATIENT IT MUST END IN PRAISE,

  552. @ Eben ;If pre- disbursement means knowing our parent banks, Ishiba & Bethany had been assigned to Access Bank since last week. We beneficiaries are waiting to meet Access Bank officials at the next gathering.Maybe checks will be issued then .

  553. The latest update is that pre disbursement has commenced since October 2nd.

    I was in a meeting with my state coordinator yesterday and we were told that pre re disbursement has commenced.

    IShiba and Kingdom wealth has been credited they have been assigned to a bank and settled.

    The pre disbursement started with IShiba and Kingdom wealth and the other Cooperatives will be called in 2s. The pre disbursement will run from 2nd of October to 16 of October and the official disbursement will be on launch on the 17th of this month.

  554. Dear Commentators, it really takes a HUMBLE man to respond to issues on behalf of SEM on this platform. RightChuks and co taking steps to update readers on this platform, mostly in a polite and sort of persuasive approaches deserve much THANKFULNESS, and beyond that, RESPECT. So many people read info on this thread(responsible persons) but hardly comment, and through the updates such readers/visitors become convinced and adjudged the GRANT to be “REAL”(the most important). Cautions have been put across here disapproving word attack especially on the UPDATES FEEDERS. Pls that should be noted [then come to think of if the phone lines of the SEM officials were on! – bomb shell]. Respect remains to be reciprocated. No one should cause these FEEDERS to over-react. They do it voluntarily. Ever since, they usually never denied the platform the essential info, so we really need to be patient and follow them gently. The updates they will ever bring. It takes MUCH to gather the info as Rightchuk put it.
    Regards to all threaders(both the positive and the negative), but the later should be cautious.
    Thanks

  556. for your information, I’m one of the bank chairman under St Rita multipurpose cooperative society (late Mrs Beatrice Odudu). she didn’t die of any misinformation From EFCC or whatever. stop saying rubbish. I don’t really know what killed her but when God says your time is up, there’s nothing you can do about it. may her soul rest in perfect peace. and the only thing we need to do now is to have a positive mindset towards the disbursement of diz grant. grant has being in existence for a very long time. no be today something

  557. @BlessedMike,please can you clarify here what actually led to her demise ;was it caused by the findings of the efcc about this scheme, which may be revealing fraud :or something else?

    Again, someone here said that SEM office in Abuja would be opened today :please can someone here confirm to us if it has been opened or still under lock and key, since their number is no longer connecting ?

  558. Madam Beatrice Odudu, the CEO of Saint Rita NGO has passed away 2 weeks ago, and her burial is currently ongoing, in Port-harcort.
    She was an innocent, cheerful, selfless and diligent women, yet she died.
    I thought some leaders would learn some lessons and take life easy and simple …
    May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace …

  559. $199.486Billion said to be approvedby SEM is more than N71Trillion when converted to our currency, more than our Fed Govt annual budget of 10years, greater than all the assets (both tangible and intangible) of the more than 25consolidated commercial banks in Naija, including CBN. Yet the purported foreign donors of the amount generously want to lift us out of the dungeon of wretchedness, imprisonment and painful/perpetual darkness. WHY THEN ARE OUR PRIVILEDGED MANAGERS/LEADERS OF THIS FUND FIGHTING? Hmmmmmm……., i recall being aware that more than 80%/90% or so coordinators,directors,etc are pastors. My brrrrreeeeedren! why? someone’s money(philantropic donation)!!! Only for you to pass it across to the people, use some, and be still paid for it!

  560. I heard that after the efcc investigated This program and some NGOs the other time , that a woman, an owner of one NGOs slumped and died :please, what did she find out, that made her died?

  561. @abasiofon. there’s has been and audio message from NAMCCA circulating on whtsapp. IF you are in WhatsApp SEM Group Forum. you might have heard abou it. thanks

  562. NAMCCA is an association of CEOs across the country formed and registered to protect the CEOs and Directors from the excessive greed of the national NGOs and CO-OPs.

  563. MY LATEST FINDINGS
    There is an update we need to talk to God about- some aggrieved individuals have petitioned the Central Bank of Nigeria about the nefarious activities of some NGOs. Quite unfortunately, the CBN sent the petition(s) to EFFC.
    Then the unexpected happened early this week. Activities at SEM’s office have been temporarily suspended until after investigations!

    A RIGHT ATTITUDE : We shouldn’t panic , modify information, be doubtful, cast aspiration on anyone. Rather, we should be prayerful, be positively realistic, believe all will be well.
    In some of the countries where this grant had been paid, different negative developments came up before it was paid .
    Did I hear you say: ‘All will be well? ‘ Yes, all will be well; and all is well, indeed .
    The Lord is fighting for us…

    NAMCCA is just an evil that is indirectly trying to disrupt this grant. They engineered the EFCC raid at SEM office. Imagine the chaos they’re creating.
    Sir, kindly let us disregard the Audio jingle. It’s the handwork of nefarious and disgruntled click of aggrieved people working towards sabotaging this program.

    My contact confirmed that, all principal directors movement to Abuja will commence from the second week in October that all arrangement is concluded, if not for this week’s EFCC and CBN investigation, the Abuja timetable would have been released. Full operation at SEM office will resume this week , from tomorrow and all issues will be addressed by SEM.
    Let’s expect timetable anytime from now.
    Please Note:
    * The SEM Project Is REAL
    * Yes. EFCC investigation into the allegations of NAMCCA is Real. But NOT serious and has no EFFECT on our Grant..
    * Disbursement time still remain October, 2018.
    Thanks for your time and understanding.
    I remain your humble servant..

  564. Unless the anti graft agency evacuated the premises this morning. As at yesterday night, they were still there, armed to the teeth . Ask the residents within the ambient.

  565. That’s the problem with Nigerians. We prefer hearing the sweet lies (and become praise singers) to bitter truth.

    Yes, EFCC invited Bar. Donald two weeks ago, after an outlet chairman with Ishiba dragged him to the anti graft agency. Barr. Donald signed a commitment, that the grant will duly be disbursed by October.

    However, there was a new twist on Monday, 1st of October, when the EFCC took over the premises of SEM. There are some indications(NOT CONFIRMED) that the ruthless powers that be, are compelling him to shift the Disbursement to the election year.
    N/B : I said there are some indications, I didn’t say I can tell you on good authority. Please!!!!

    I had this info, but a member here convinced me to come out public, and tell us the truth on the true position of things.

    All we now need is prayers. And this grant is 100% real, I can tell you that on good authority.

  566. Good morning ladies & gentlemen, the information about EFCC inviting Donald/locking down his office and even taking away some of his laptops, is true not because the program is scam but because some Chairmen decided to be greedy and then wrote a petition against SEM on their original plan or disbursing the grant through NGO’s, now the question is!
    1. How did the Chairmen knew about the grant?
    2. What is wrong with disbursing through NGO?
    3. Who says Chairmen will not mess with people’s benefit if not put under NGO checks and control?
    4. What happens to unverified ghost Chairmen that signed collateral register through the back door?
    In as much as I do not equally wish to exonerate the NGO Coordinators from greed, I wish to emphasize that someone has to climb down the tree through the same source he/she climbed up otherwise if he/she decide to jump down from top the tendency of sustaining some degrees of injuries may be inevitable.
    As we getting the grant, that has been signed by God. You may wish to consult your spiritual director nothing can stop it. So no need to panic all we should be concerned about now is further delay due to greed of how to disburse the grant. Thanks to all that has made meaningful contributions so far.

  567. Lets agree EFCC intervened constructively, but not destructively

    But where are those fellows who have been fighting on SHARING FORMULAR?
    We need there comment at this point of time.
    No cause for alerm.
    EFCC is working in our favour…

  568. Dear commentators, regards to you all. I visit this platform for months now not only on daily basis but about 10 or more than that some days via my phone, and i hadly comment even when on my laptop while there’s OUR NEPA. As a potential beneficiary and one of the facilitators with an OUTLET, i furnish an outlet’s Secretary a lot with info on this platform and he too from what he gets from the State Coordinator. He isn’t that ICT/Computer literate. He works tirelessly, almost alone, on behalf of his chairman/all directors of their said microfinance(OUTLET),they having rented a mansion for the Biz.
    …. my take is that no hypertensive person should visit and follow the thread on this platform. It is not for the DISABLED.
    ..+ves, ..-ves, …neutral, and …can’t say comments!!
    @emmawas just being highly commended today for always posting genuine,profound information by @hpmfo2018 and suddenly he just appeared with EFCC action on SEM. which still means…. GENUINE.
    Hmmm, where is @Truth? . We are still strong, trust us Nigerians. We don,t conclude about SEM yet. We’r watching the drama(if so) the more.

  569. Please oooo don’t post what will kill people ooo I beg all of you. EFCC only invited Donald to find out why people have been bringing complaints to them, and to know what is stopping Donald and SEM from releasing the grant o. And they have given Donald an ultimatum to release the grant to beneficiaries o. Don’t come here and cause panic attacks for no reason o. EFCC has been aware of this grant since inception please., and there is nothing to be worried about. Thank you.
    I am in Abuja.

  570. Pls Abuja residents visit SEM OFFICE ASAP. It’s not funny oo. Nigeria is not easy if this grant becomes a scam . I don’t which way to go with anything Nigeria box again .

  571. Please oooo don’t post what will kill people ooo I beg all of you. EFCC only invited Donald to find out why people have been bringing complaints to them, and to know what is delaying Donald and SEM from releasing the grant o. And they have given Donald an ultimatum to release the grant to beneficiaries so that this issue can be laid to rest. Don’t come here and cause panic attacks for no reason o. EFCC has been aware of this grant since inception please, and there is nothing to be worried about. Thank you.

  572. Some of you have been advised severally, not to post unverified information.
    Get information from your national coordinator or your state coordinator, not from a chairman!

    Who is releasing cheques? Which SEM has been holding meetings (as one of you pointed out)?

    Is it not the SEM office that has been under lock and key, and had been temporarily sealed by the EFCC?

    All we now need is consistent prayer, so that our dear dreams will be actualized.

    Let’s keep hope alive.

  573. @Rightchucks. Thanks for this update. With what i have just read, does it mean the updates some members in this forum gave us concerning seeing ngos cheques in osogbo (bethany& ishiba) is false or those fall in the first round batch pls we need clarifications if sem is making disbursements in batches,, they should come up with a schedule so people will know & not keep us in d dark. This is serious.

  574. @ eben pls respmd to my question above. Has anyone gotten his/her cheque in any state of d federation? With due respect Eben, ekson, blaise, stan, stevosky, etc should Let us know what is happening please. God bless

  575. @oga sir, the outlet has not been built so need for workers now, only the chairmen/principal dir, sec and dir will start for now and i think they will be attending to 200 people per day, is it not to give us cheques? there is no big deal in their work for now. tks

  576. frf will be released today N490,000 n it will end on the 17th. 3 wks after N2.5million. there were cases of attempted robbery in my state when some gunmen came to an organised seminar thinking disbursement will start that day, they fired shots at them thinking they brought money but nd that’s why they’ve been all silent about telling us what is going on. tday is tday. we shall all see it in Jesus Name, Amen.

  577. Thanks to all who contributed positively on this forum and especially to me Eben. Your info have alwsys been authentic . From calculation, 70% was paid to each outlets . Ie 7billion naira as against 10billion. For now , dint know if they are to give us 5% or 100% of 70% . We all will be alive to witness it and we will not die slong with ghe greedy ones.

  578.

  579. IS ISHIBA NOT PART OF NATIONAL COOPERATIVE LEADERS FORUM?WHY I AM ASKING THIS QUESTION IS THAT,THEY HAD UNANIMOUSLY ARREEGED ON ONE PARTICULAR SHARING FORMULA AND WHY NOW SOME POEPLE COME HERE TO FIGHT ON THIS ISSUE, I THINK WHAT WE NEED NOW IS PRAYER, THAT THEY SHOULD DISBURSE THE MONEY WITHOUT WAITING TIME AGAIN.THANKS.

  580. Why are we jealous ourselves, Anybody can be a director or chairman / principal director, if he / she can mobilize people. Thank God there is second batch. To do so, it is as simple as ABC.
    Thanks

  581. Lol, I can’t help but laugh at those arguing about sharing formula. I was also keen on this grant until the arrogance and rudeness of those involved in collating the data got me thinking.
    First I thought, if these people are acting this way when we have not seen a dime, how will it be when our money is in their hands. Then I considered the various discrepancies trailing my online research for the origin of this grant. Even though the grant has been aired by some prominent newspapers, I still thought there was something fishy.
    For those smelling rats and what not, I salute you because its painful that Nigerians could be so blind to something so plain. I am not a hater, far from it, I only wish the management and board could address questions levied before them by the correspondent of hunters international.
    Why did I choose to speak up? I realised that the ill mannered people doing collation on the WhatsApp group for my own outlet don’t even know anything about those running the show. Somebody just reached out to them and they are gathering people for 2nd batch when first batch is still uncertain.
    My advice: Don’t implicate yourself in a business you have no idea of its origins and do not loose a cent more until you see 10 naira.

  582. Provide SEM formula alongside Ishiba formula let the house compare them with the recent formula as per recommended by the leaders of all NGO’s as for me I don’t care, whatever formula that is adopted is okay by me, what am against is you kicking against the Chairmen/Secretaries allotted share & you just confirmed my claim of greed by saying that u worked morethan ur secretary. The question now is why were u not made the secretary or even the chairman if u were that good? To place u above others for working very hard.
    It may interest you to know that this10% sharing is based on NGO’s request to compensate the people, so they reserve the right to determine the sharing format have u wondered or asked ur self while they took 4%? Leaving 6% for others to share. both in that ur Ishiba & current formula? 2% to NGO & 2% to National coordinators, are you not going to question that as well? If not whatever made one to be chairman/secretary in ur bank have given him/her an age over u so lamenting here will not solve ur problem.
    Let me also inform you that in ur Ishiba sharing formula the Chairman got 1.5% & Secretary also got 1.5% that is to tell u they are higher than u and there is nothing u can do about it now otherwise step up to become one. Thanks

  583. I commend everyone here that has made contributions and questions in respect to the long awaiting grant. While wishing all Happy Sunday, I strongly disagree with the submission of (Gtb) questioning/kicking against the sharing formula as it concerned the chairmen/Secretaries. I wish to say that it indicates high level of greed and no considerations, see below my reasons!
    1. Chairmen/Secretaries went to Abuja & signed the collateral register which automatically puts the risk/burden of banks on their shoulders
    2. Most of Chairmen saw the vision first & invited the Directors to join
    3. Most of the Directors paid/contributed the funds as u said & went to sleep while the Chairmen/Secretaries ensured 1,000 projects were gotten to qualify the bank
    4. Most of the Directors not until recently never believed convincingly that the program is real.
    With the above reasons and more I put it to you once again that greed is the only reason why any rational human being should result to kidnapping or killing to acquire what originally those not belong to him/her. Further more if not corrected you will request that all Directors should get equal share with the National Directors and the anchor of the program Barr, Donald after all from ur submission they all have worked or better put without the directors the program wouldn’t have succeeded. This is one one the major reasons why Nigerians has remained the way they are, greed! greed!! greed!!! Let’s come out of it and focus on good behaviours.
    Thanks as I hope you understand better now and amend your way of reasoning towards the grant that is coming to us from people we never new from anywhere & without minding our greed&corrupt nature out of their good gestures had decided to part with their hard earned resources & we are here fighting on how to share it accordingly. Let all be guided accordingly to avoid bringing more shame to this Nation.

  584. Thanks @Kings for alerting me to respond to this.

    @Blaise… The next step is signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), between the national coordinators and the chairmen/secretaries of the different microfinance outlets.

    Hopefully, disbursement follows suit, as the SEM workers concluded their disbursement training yesterday evening.

    But I can tell you on good authority that 2nd of October as one of us here pointed out is totally spurious. 17th remains unchanged (as at yesterday night) .

  585. Most of the banks are now asking people to come and open up bank account under them, from a designated banks which they said was the order given by SEM and this is different from the verification they did where individuals or beneficiaries filled forms with the banking details. Please real is this, is it in line with what us trending presently

  586. @ekson this sharing formula you stated here is not only a trap that cause the collapse of all SEM has worked n layed down concerning the grant n even lead to kidnapping of some chairmen. How can everyone put their hands together to raise a bank n some will be cheated just like, this formula is demonic and not from SEM pls search and you will see SEM’S formula
    Most directors worked more than some chairmen / secretaries they all paid equal amount of money for bank registration, summery sheets typing/banding etc so why will the chairmen take more?

  587. the intervention fund is part of the 10%(1billion) that will remain in the bank. 2%(200m) to the ngo, 2%(200m) to those that assisted in bringing people for reg in that bank, 2%(200m) chairmen, 1%(100m), sec and dir, state cord, lg diector, reg cord, volunteer (those that will work in the bank), director and the corp outlet(the microfinance building) will take 1/2% each which is 50 million. they all have to rent a temporaryplace for now to start disbursement unfailingly oct 2nd and after disbursement the 50m that will be used in building the bank will be available which is what we all called intervention fund

  588. @Rightchuks. You just did clarification not update update I expect is intervention fund disbursement schedule and date.Pls do well to furnish us with such info. Thanks . I heard between 24th and 28th September . It’s that true @ rightchuks confirm.

  589. *Matter Arising*

    *Six (6%) percent sharing formula*

    It was Unanimously agreed by the house that

    – ½%- State Cordinator

    – ½%- Regional

    – 1/2% – LG Director

    – 2%- Chairman

    – 1%- Secretary

    – ½- Directors

    – ½- Corp Outlet

    – ½- Volunteers

    note: the intervention fund is from the 6% as we can see that it is now called cor outlet (fund) from the information given above

  590. Lol, Willie Willie Ke? They better be serious bcos a lot of people have invested both finance, time, energy and hope in this pusuit/program. So any form of the more u look the less u see will totally be wrong, let’s still keep the hope alive till after October if nothing happened then we can tore the part of Joe Alex & Co.

  591. @victor_5 nobody knows everything is Willie Willie. If it comes you receive it if not you keep hoping. There is always tomorrow. SEM means tomorrow cos as they say tomorrow when that day comes it becomes another tomorrow.
    God bless us all as we keep believing SEM.

  592. @ Ekson, A big thank for this update. we really appreciate you. Please, signing UCR ( universal Collateral Register ) Is SEM did not collect money for it for reg of each MFB before going for signing in Abuja ?? The hall they use in Abuja for signing, is the SEM paid for it everyday ? I think they use the hall for almost 3 month ??? Thanks.

    We Nigerian are the problem of ourselves. Each MFB has standard for reg fee for this project, but some people increased the fee without the knowledge of MFB / NGO . May God help us in Nigeria. Thanks.

  593. THIS GRANT IS VERY VERY REAL.It has been revealed to me. But those that think it is a scam should pray not to be scammed after receiving the grant. I see many who confessed this grant to be a scam loosing their money after collecting it. Please be careful the Angels of this grant are watching you. Mind your negative comments so that it will not come upon you.

  594. Have taken my time to go through the chats here and the website Of social exchange market and have come to the conclusion that this scheme is a big scam. Where did the said money they promise to give to people coming from? Who gave them the money to disburse to Nigerians. No concrete information from their site. I just hope this won’t be another brother or sister to MMM.

  595. I called one of my brothers working with zenith ,a senior auditor in zenith Bank ,he said no money was sent to zenith through SEM or any NGO that I should be caution.

  596. I think there are 2 cogent things SEM needs from NGOs b4 disbursement.
    (1). soft copies of grant participants.
    (2). CEO / Director”s entitlement ratio agreement duly signed.
    (3) Intervention fund released by SEM.

    House, any minus or plus ??????????????????.
    Lets every one get set on our projects start up.

  597. I am disturbed that Nigerians cant stop being gullible. The philanthropist that have no names made humongous amount available to Nigerians to access, and yet their names are not made known to the world.

    Are we saying there are no poor people in their country that need grant to break their shackles? Poverty is worldwide.

    Well, their demand is just N1,000.00 from each individual, and other payments for ID, certificates as I heard. Please, by my training, whosoever mute the idea of Social Exchange Market, is already a billionaire in the light of gullibility of Nigerians. They are only riding on humongous population to steal N1,000 from millions.

    The wicked, crude, covetous and gullible being, will not cease on the surface of the earth.

    Indeed, another Mavrodi is born in Nigeria. The gullible, but innocent should beware. Nothing is free in this wicked world of sin.

  598. Pls a need clearification fkr d 21 million intervention fund
    Is it for d beneficiaries
    is it same as d family relief fund some of u talked about?

  599. pls house d 21 million intervention fund implies what?
    is it for d beneficiary?
    is it same as d family relief fund some of u talked about?
    Pls am earger for clearification
    THANKs so far 4 d update guys

  600. @ omatayi, For Bethany Ngo
    Supposing that your approved grant is N10,000,000.
    N10,000,000 – N1,000,000 ( 10% ) = N9,000,000.

    1st payment family relief 5% of 10m = N490,000
    2nd payment 25% of N10m = N2.5M.
    3rd payment 25% N2.5M.
    Last Payment N3.5M
    Note : N10,000 will be deducted from 1st payment, u will only received N490,000.
    Your total grant will be N8,990,000 . Thanks

  601. Pls I want to know if other MFBs are asking their members to open a new acct for this grant? In my own mfb we are asked to open acct with a particular bank

  602. @Pman ik, let be realistic, for hw many year or month have u register, and have u see the money? Pls think about it. For the past One year now we have not recieve any money and u ar here talking abt BVN, why don’t u let them disburse the money first before complaining. And beside those that register twice is nt at fault, some of them didn’t no it will come out like that, because no one no it will be under the same roof.

    Another thing is that, there is no how they will be given out check that they won’t no that some collected twice. Let them do their work. Even donald no what he doing. Pls, let see the money first before taking a step. Thanks

  603. My name is Paul I’m a beneficiary and I enrolled since last year.my point is that these cooperative heads and mfbs have invested so much time,energy and money.many of us only paid for registration to cooperatives which is not more than 5000.but these mfbs directors has spent in hundreds of thousands if not millions.let sem share the money even if it 200000 and forget about bvn or account no.in second batch they can use mfbs to run the show.this money is long overdue and the whole is becoming childish.

    1. @ paul, If truly u every client paid for reg fee in your mfb. ur directors cannot pay any money again. N5,000 is too much. Bethany reg fee is N3,000, kingdom wealth N3,000, Ishiba N2,000. It is our people that inflated it. Pls, note no director can claim your money, they have signed UCR on it. Sem cannot pay directly to individual a/c, bcs, this project wil need monitoring to avoid diversion. Thanks.

      1. Adenyi I did not say i paid 5000.l said the maximum anybody could say he or she paid is #5000.in my own ngo we paid only 1000.my point is that I know some of my friends who have spent over #500000 to own a mfb.and for about one year now they have been working and spending. I’m not greedy .my own is let them pay.if i get 500000 and mfbs bosses get 5or 10 m they laboured for it.my take let them pay anything they have for us .let seem pay.plse I’m begging them .they should forget about these bvn ,acctno.palava.if they go there they will not pay this money by this time next year.

  604. My people, from reliable source collection of cheques will commence by September 12 and end by October 17. But any MfB that fortunate collect their during this period will wait till October 17 before cash out. I mean some MFM we collect their cheque before 17th of October. But they can only cash it out starting from 17th of October

  605. What baffles me is that SEM claims registration of 5.4 Million Nigerians for this grant, and yet I only know of very few beneficiaries. Where and who are the piple that make up the 5 Million? Even as popular as MMM was, only 4 Million Nigerians were participants. How many nigerians even registered for N Power? We should expect duplication and manipulation of data.

    Is this grant more popular than MMM or N power?
    5 Millions involved and yet many have never heard about it.

    The more the number of participants, the less the amount each individual should expect.

    Since they are not using BVN, it is even better for someone to have registered in 2 or more cooperatives to be on saver side, as much as we are in Nigeria. If one get 500k in different places, the project will be almost accomplished.

    Nigeria remains uncivilized and underdeveloped, so we adjust and blend with the situation…
    BVN would have proved that more than halve of the beneficiaries are ghost, who never exist, or exist 3 or 4 or 5 times…

  607. @ Dejiano, 5% of your project fund ( relief fund ) , then, 10% will be retained with mfb, then 25 %, 25 % and your balance. Thanks

  608. u have no choice than to hope for the best from the coorporatives because, all banks registered under them, they have been d ones pursuing this course for us. Many of them are clergies, they most likely will be transparent for integrity sake and for the sake of another opportunity for 2nd batch.
    10% from each mfb under a coorporative is about N1bn, why should they be greedy?

  609. MY FELLOW COOPERATORS. YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE LOVE OUR FAMILY AND IT IS NOT IN OUR CHARACTER TO DELAY DISSIMILATION OF INFORMATION/ UPDATE BUT AN INSTRUCTION WAS PASSED NOT TO SEND ANY MESSAGE OUT TILL WE GET A LETTER FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL COOPERATIVE AS SEEN ABOUT. WE ARE OBEDIENT LEADERS AND WE MUST DO AS INSTRUCTED.
    FURTHER MORE, THE MEETING WAS A HUGE SUCCESS WITH THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION
    ? SEM FINALLY AGREED TO CANCEL THE ISSUE OF BVN AND ACCOUNT NUMBER FOR DISBURSEMENT
    ? SEM NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO GO AND OPEN AN ACCOUNT FOR DISBURSEMENT
    ? SEM WARNED THE COOPERATIVES TO BE CAREFUL OF FAKE SMS AND INFORMED ALL THAT THEY HAVE ONLY SENT 2 SMS SINCE AND AFTER THE SIGNING OF UNIVERSAL COLLATERAL REGISTER.
    ? SEM PROMISED TO DISBURSE THROUGH THE COOPERATIVES AND NOT TO INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNT.
    ? SEM HAS MANDATED EVERY MFB TO SEND A SOFT COPY OF THEIR DATA VIA THEIR COOPERATIVES FOR AN EFFECTIVE WORK ARRANGEMENT.
    ? SEM COMPLAINED BADLY ABOUT DATA DOUBLING WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASON IN THE DELAY OF DISBURSEMENT.
    ? SEM PROMISED TO START DISPATCHING CERTIFICATES ANY MOMENT FROM NOW.
    ? MY FOLLOW COOPERATORS, OCTOBER DISBURSEMENT AS ALREADY SCHEDULED BY SEM FOR FIRST BATCH STILL STANDS.
    ? LASTLY, SEM WISHES THAT ALL SHOULD PRAY FOR THE PROGRAM AND THE STAFF AGAINST ALL EXTERNAL FORCES WORKING AGAINST DISBURSEMENT.

    *THANK YOU ALL*

  610. The set meeting between Bar. Donald Adedayo Olorunkeyede and the Cooperative Heads kicked off by 11am.
    Donald sent top management staff of SEM to represent him in the meeting so that he could attend to other issues of urgent demands to facilitate quick actions for disbursement.
    In the meeting, the following points were discussed:
    1. The messages sent to some applicants has no ulterior motive other than to fish out ghost applicants. In the concluded signing of the UCR. There were alot of irregularities perpetrated by the officers in question which involved massive duplication of projects. For instance, people who doubted the authenticity of the scheme from the onset, changed their minds as soon as the signing of the UCR began. To meet up, they went and bribed the SEM officers to register new banks. They had their way: but the big task was how to get data to cement the deal. They went and printed forms and gave them to people to fill, free of charge, so that they could meet up. On seeing that that could not help much, the only option left for them was to duplicate some datas that had already been submitted. When Donald discovered this, he sacked the officers in question and started embarking on methods to clean up the mess. This was what gave rise to the text messages requesting applicants to submit soft copies of their data showing BVN, ACCOUNT NUMBER, SCANNED PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPH, PROJECTS, AMOUNT, AGE, STATE, RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, and OFFICIAL ADDRESS. But, at the meeting, BVN and PASSPORT were scrapped. However, there were still agitations for
    ACCOUNT NUMBER to be also scrapped. But that decision was reserved for Donald to make and we will be fed back. If Donald still mentains his stance on ACCOUNT NUMBER, then, all and sundry should be ready to submit same for a bulck submission from our Jikwoyi Office to ease stress on all and sundry.
    2. The disbursement time is October this year. Before then, all the messes would have been cleaned up.
    3. Disbursement will not be done directly by SEM to the Chairmen of Banks: it will pass through the Cooperative Heads. To this effect, dissident Bank Chairmen are hereby warned of their indifferences.
    4. The Registration Certificates at Chairmen’s possession is not enough to open a mfb; so, the potent one is being expected soon.
    5. The Disbursement Activivity at Good Tidings Church was just a test-run to show people that the real one will soon be on board.
    6. Intervention Fund of 21 million naira still stands, having been promised earlier.
    These are the main points. God bless you all.

  611. @Eben we all knew we could ask our coordinators b4 coming here to get or share information, therefore if u have any good info useful to the house, kindly share it otherwise allow us to wait for those that will be sincere enough to share with us as for what you shared it did not make any headway. Thanks for d previous good information u have shared.
    @Emma the house is still waiting for a follow up update as per promised. God bless you.

  614. Good morning everyone.

    The *executives* will continue the good works and ensure everybody including the beneficiary smiles.

    The summary of yesterday discussion is that the *National Cooperative leaders forum* and the *social exchange market* have now unanimously agreed to establish a workable synergy to arrive at a good junction. It was concluded that the executives of the national body would be communicating to SEM as things unfold.

    We sincerely bless God for this great development.

    *Secretary, NCLF*.

    Everything discussed word to word is not written here. If you have any question ask your State Coordinator or National if you can reach him/her.

  615. Abidemi Adebayo Sunday

    @emman,thanks for the update, but we still need to be clarified about whether it is only 5% SEM will pay or not.

  616. SEM sent a msg on 17/08/2018, that they will not bybass any coordinator during disbursement and will start by oct. We have some mathematicians in the house, they have already calculated it for us, pls, lets agree with them, at least N500 k each will be our expectation, miraculously, if we get betw 3m to 10m, it means we are lucky . We all know the amt on ground, if am right N5 trillion.
    My advice, any amount we get, let use it rightly, someone said in the house that he would buy a car, this grant is not for that. Lets go and prepare ourselves on small scale business ahead. To be candid, N500 k is not a small money if we know how to use it on business. By the grace of God this money will be paid to everyone whether devil like it or not in Jesus name. As for me i still have hope on betw 3m to 10m. payment. Do you all think they will totally open up on the amt on ground ? This is free money, dont let us put all our total mind on it.
    Please lets continue praying for those in-charge of this grant scheme. it is not easy, they really need our prayers. Some people may not agree with, grant disbursement delay caused by some participants . Please, lets be careful on the blames some of us put on pastors, we are not to judge them, even if they are faulty. May God forgive us. I really thank you all for not minding a Thomas among us. it is not new to see such. May God be with us in Jesus name. Amen.

  617. we were told that 5trillion as been transferred into four commercial banks. ok fine. 5trillion * 4 = 20trillion. now 20trillion divided by 5.5million applicant is approximately 3.6million or 900,000 * 4 = 3.6million. where do we want mr donald to get the remaining 6.4million for you and me? let us tell ourselves the truth. how much is on ground, is it 5trillion or 20trillion? and is 10million grant achieveable? i dont think so.

  618. if your directors or state coordinators cannot tell you the truth, then you should do yourself a favour by telling yourself the truth. if the money released is just 5trillion naira, let us do the math. 5trillion divided by 5.5million people will give us approximately 900,000. if mr donald in his wisdom thought that it is best to give 5% of the initial payment, then i think he is wise. let us remember that the applicant cannot receive more than their directors which means it is only 500,000 that can go round. from the video released to the social media (i havent watched but from the info that i gathered), it was those who registered the same you and i did that got 5% of what they wrote in their respective forms. is mr donald running a charitable organisation that he will be dishing out money to people like that? one of us here who went to sem office confirms that disbursement has started and we should not expected more than 5%. the question you need to ask yourself is this, who is telling the truth , who is with the money sem or your coordinators? i have heard more than a 1001 lies from my coordinators and i think i should tell myself the truth

  619. Pmak IK is always right by giving genuine and direct sourced information.
    But contradiction and confusion has been our problem.
    SEM announced disbursement will take place in October and they never gave fund to any coordinator. Yet a pastor was seen addressing his church members that grants of #200,000 has been disbursed. And he won praises and applauds from his church members.
    Is SEM having problem or the pastor having problem?
    Is disbursement narrowed to a particular church?
    Can’t he use something else to motivate and gladden his church members.
    Let’s be careful of the information we receive before we share it
    Thanks

  620. Ha. They came to our little village to scheme us. This scheme is really full of pastors. No be lie. The person who introduced this scam (sorry, scheme – I meant to say) has finally turned off his mobile phone. Collected 3K per form.

    But they busted our heads when they told us that social exchange will grant N100M to each of the 7 directors while the 13 volunteers will be eligible to receive a grant of 10 + 10 million. At this point during the seminar I was browsing on OLX which car I’d like to buy from the money. My friend, Mr P, one of the selected directors in our little village, was saying to me he’s going to get a 2016 Highlander. Man, they gave us such high hopes. Hopes that even ants cannot climb. Only to shatter it on the pillar of uncertainty.

    Guys listen. I believe our only hope now is to loose hope.

    All their numbers are switched off. Maybe they all fell sick at the same time.

  621. THE BIG QUESTION IS THIS ; WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MFBs AFTER THE 5% disbursements. Will the MFBs turn to regular MFBs and give us the grants as loans?.There are still more questions than answers.May God help us to fight this battle. I am preparing my plan B.

  622. If there are 5486 Mcfb and they all had registered with at least 100k with SEM has being speculated then Donald had made #5.4b from them alone not to talk of other charges they were made to pay.

  623. Whrs stevo and som oda guys on dis forum who wer spkin in favor of SEM? See dem..they ve all gone hiding…scamming in d name of christ! I was crucified on dis forum for sayin d truth! Gentlemen i tink wat shd be done now is kidnappin dat Donald of a guy,beatin him to a pulp and demand dat he pays us wat he promisd to pay…see evn if i dint pay a dime to apply,for d fact dat u made me a solemn promise to gimme somtin,and ma mind has bin thr,and u ve bin re-assurin me frm tym to tym dat ill get it,den u bloody owe me !..kidnapp mr Donald! Make him pay!

  624. Those invovled in dis grant will surely regret their actions for bring d church into this mess. We got info about this grant in a forum of pastors

  625. By now you guys should have seen the handwriting on the wall that somebody is being smart on the smartless Nigerians so called mugus. You guys are being tossed here and there like a pendulum, by the one Mr ‘grant’, sem or the CEO, Mr…. what is his name self?. They said money is now in the commercial bank, posted directly from overseas without passing through CBN? You guys should not be fooled. The organizer of this intelligent scheme will only use ‘Abu’ s’ money to host ‘Abu’. SEM is not consistent , very evasive and secretive, what are they hiding if they are clean and good intentioned?. You guys pls go to your normal kobo kobo but legitimate business, rather than waiting endlessly from grant from SEM. You don’t really know what they are doing or where they are heading for, they seem to be directionless. Pls be wise, limit your losses to what you ve spent thus far. A word is enough for the wise

  626. So now the update is that Donald escaped holding the meeting with the national coordinators. He’s bent on paying 5% of the funds. So the 200k check/payment is true? Only Donald can explain what happened to the remaining money.
    My friends, live your live as if there is no grants.
    I regret being a Nigerian.
    Because only Nigerians could be taken for fools like that…
    I pity the so called pastors that were holding sweet talk seminars all over Nigeria. Another shame and embarrassment to the body of Christ …

  627. From information I got this evening from a banker neighbour (with diamond bank), he opened over 300 accounts in name of MFBs & beneficiaries today. And its 5% only & nothong mre tommorrow. He said SEM bypassed the NGOs & Cooperative societies.. Things may end up in a messy fight as am seeing; due to Mr Donald’s greed. May God help us in Nigeria. Copied

  628. @ Unak. Good people and bad people will equally die. But the difference is how people will celebrate or mourn the death.
    Let Donald swallow 95% of our money, and you will then see that judgement begins from this planet earth…
    Curses and anger (of a Million Nigerians) strikes faster than thunder…

  629. If truly Donald used our data to collect funds, and latter give us just 5% of the fund, then the same God that judged Sergey Mavrody (the MMM founder) will judge Donald.
    I still hope he will deliver positive speech tomorrow.
    Or else…

  630. My question and concern is ” WHO ARE THE DONORS OF THIS GRANT”
    If the grant has sourced from a responsible external body, there will be no manipulation. I hope this grant is not what I perceived from onset. Hmmmm! Lets wait and see!

  631. Hmmmmm. This is interesting, well let’s wait and see what will happen after tomorrow’s meeting. He can not use Nigerians or he will be guest to EFCC, I can bet you, he will regret it if what you just wrote is true. @N4L

  632. If 5% is what they can afford and its visible enough to reach everybody, then let them do it.

    At least it should be able to feed some people for a while and also , some people can start up something on a small scale from it.

    The 10million grants was not realistic to me in d first place. Even the worst of it all was the money they said was gonna be paid to directors and heads of MFB

  633. Someone should tell me this is a lie…
    If its 5% or 10% they want to give us, after all the high expectation and suspense, they should keep their grant to themselves.
    I hope the enemies and opponents of this grant will not mock us soon?
    If they had promised us 200k only since, we would limit our expectation.
    How can someone apply for grant since September 2017, only to receive 200k and that’s all?

  634. *Report from the National Cooperative Leader’s Forum Committee dated 13th August,2018*

    Every member of the committee Converged at Social Exchange Market, Abuja by 10am this morning.

    We called the Attention​ of Mr. John and Pastor Bimbo Taiwo to a round table discussion and officially delivered the letter (with subject matter; *Request for an Emergency meeting with Barr. Donald*) to Mr. John and Pst Bimbo, and also gave them an ultimatum.

    They both promised to communicate our message to Barr. Donald with immediate effect and promised the matters in the Atmosphere will critically be looked into whilst the committee would be called back for meeting soonest.

    1. Abidemi Adebayo Sunday

      Yes,disbursement started yesterday. I personally visited SEM office in Abuja this morning.I met them holding a meeting but a SEM official was sent to attend to me and confirmed that disbursement started yesterday and was shown on AIT.My people what devastated me most is wat this man told me that we should not expect more than 5% of the grant amount any applicant requested for.The issue of 10m or there about people are flying the news about is not realistic. SEM will only give 5% of grant requested and that is all.And there is nothing like family relief fund people are talking about.Hearing this,I got confused and I asked him again but responded saying the same thing.Pls let anyone in Abuja still go to SEM office to reconfirm this maybe that SEM official was drunk to have told me this.It is very disheartening.

  635. Most of the grant beneficiaries at the launching received #200,000 cheques as seen in the video. I hope we are not planning big, only to get something small at the end o

  636. SEM has directed all MFBs to submit a soft copy of the names of their entire members. Donald will hold a crucial meeting with all the National coordinators hopefully this week. For those of u claiming, he held a meeting with them last Friday , why haven’t you been able to tell us the outcome? The truth is this, no meeting was ever fixed or held on that day. People should stop fabricating stories. If you don’t have any concrete info , just read and pass. This is not facebook. God bless you all.

  637. @ Dejiano,
    It depends on NGO u belong to. It is family relief fund first, and 25 percent of your grant. Example, your grant is N10,000,000. First payment (family relief) N490,000, 2ND, N2.5M, 3RD, N2.5M, Lastly, the rest balance. And you will be able to defend it on your physical project. Thanks

  638. @ Austin,
    If we cannot plant after september, next year is there for us. I too pick cashew as part of my project. It is our money, no one can collect it, even if we leave it there for 3 years. It is mostly based on agric. Thanks my brother.

  639. Please what is the latest update for now especially for those in Bethany who were supposed to confirm their cheques this week?

  640. To all CEOs on our cooperative platform.

    I left Benin City to put things straight here in Abuja.

    Please be informed that some of the top management staff of SEM Intl Network as been sacked, I wouldn’t mention names, but, let us becareful and be informed, the official channel of communication is on your text for verification; numbers and website.

    Please, nobody should be involved in second batch yet, until SEM Intl Network office announces it, they are yet to complete the first batch, after wish we can continue.

    Note: please registration of membership ended in May/June.

    Nobody can register banks on SEM Intl Network portal now, if no one can register banks, then, no one can mobilize anybody to the grant, there is nothing like 2nd batch now.

    Make your findings from the above phone lines provided, as customers service line

    Return every and any form with you.

    Please do so now, if the grant is release this month, you will be having court cases and police invitations with the beneficiaries thinking you have stolen their monies.

    We will start second batch once it’s announced on their portal, we are very much ready to work, but we will do it legitimately and legally

    Please be warned!

    This is from a cooperative WhatsApp chat.

  641. I visit this group to renew my hope and gain more confidence about the grant.
    So henceforth, nobody should post any pessimistic or negative comment here again.
    Pope the Truth and joe Alex should take note.
    The #1,500 or #2,500 you paid is not worth crying woes for.
    Some banks directors have spent Millions.
    Thanks

  642. UPDATES – 08/08/18
    » There is so much fake and misleading updates out there.
    » We are always trying to filter through all these updates for credible info.
    » Right now indications are strong that the Grant will happen any time soon.
    » It appears there will be meetings this week and next.
    » If these meetings hold, then we should be expecting a clear schedule of disbursement activities.
    » We understand that Ishiba may have several of their Banks disqualified, so those who registered through them shoud be praying seriously right now.
    » As we gather info towards disbursement, we will share.

  643. @ ” The Truth”, if truly your name is the Truth, you would not believe in the few bad news, when there were already 90% good news.

  644. This Donald man should open an SME website na. What does it take to open one and inform ppl with latest information from d main source.

    Not today Emma talk this one, tomorrow John talk him own, then we for here go come dey calculate d answer.

    Every bit of this whole scheme sounds like scam unless proven otherwise.

    Don’t tell me to go meet chairman or secretary 4 information. Show me d stream to fetch my own water pls.

    Is all I have to say cos after collect #1k, #1500, or #3000 from everybody in Nigeria this whole then turns to MMM. Another crowd funding scheme.

    May b d first set of ppl will benefit , who knows?

    If so I pray am among d first.

    Still on Still, what is not Godly is not good. Rubbing peter to pay Paul is not an obtion.

    If u are a Christian and u profess Christ, then live His lifestyle cos Christianity is a lifestyle.

    U will never see JESUS doing a thing of this kind but yet most of this things are happening in churches and among church members.

    I do not approve of it if its another crown funding scheme.

    THERE IS TOO MICH SECRECY IN THIS SCHEME. IT OUGHT NOT TO BE SO. JESUS IS THE LORD AND SAVIOUR AND HE LIVES FOREVER MORE AMONG US, IN OUR HEARTS AND IN HIS WORDS IN D BIBLE.

    LOVE ur neighborhood as urself

  645. The chairman of my MFB put a call across to Dr. Donald on the 4th of August, just for us to actually find out the real situation. We were diplomatic in our questions inorder not to piss him off. We thanked him for his efforts to calm his nerves and he was happy b4 asking him the situation of things, He said, because of certain issues, disbursement will take place by October. He didn’t go into details on the issues, but ur guess is as good as mine on what he meant. Those of you who know ur chairmen, they can get his number from the temporary cert issued to all MFBs in Abuja during the signing of the universal collateral register, it’s not hiden. Those So called national coordinators are the problem on why disbursement was postponed until October. For those insulting Dr Donald, SEM and those trying to encourage others to still have hope, I will advice them to take their frustration to the right place. You didn’t give any money to Donald, SEM or anyone on this platform. I paid #1000 only for registration and nothing more and am a director. 80% of our members have not even paid a dime, but we still registered them as members pending when the grant is released. So, if you gave ur money to anyone Out of desperation please go and meet that person instead of coming here to show the world how frustrated ur life is. Life is all about risk, you win some, you loose some. Thank you all and God bless.

    1. Truly the National Coordinators have collected so much money from the participants, some grassroots sold their properties to raise the money. Some directors also collected lots of money in the name of writing business proposals. Such directors need to be reported to SEM/Dr Donald. In the process of signing the UCR at Abuja some NGOs made banks chairmen/ secretaries to sign undertaking that certain percentage of the grant will be given to them. Dr. Donald needs to hear this. It is very unfortunate and disheartening . Thanks.

  646. Thank God, all MMFBs in EDO/DELTA (Zone A) have successfully concluded software/I.T. training on Saturday 4th, in Benin city.
    Zone B loading…….

  647. How can bank print check for a non existing customer, an account has not been opened, no account number yet, and you are saying the bank are busy printing check books. Is that the way Nigerian banks operate. That must be ‘jankara’ banking. Even if you want to tell lies, tell the reasonable ones. Nigerians, don’t let anybody mugu you, bank does not print check book for an account not opened yet. They will not change the rule or the banking system becos of SEM or grant stuff. Let them say something else. Good luck

  648. Good evening everyone, I pray very soon, All our expectations shall come to pass..Nothing much to discuss.
    1. Get your proposal ready because you will be call upon very soon
    2. For effective disbursement, all the 36 states has been divided into four i.e(South West, South East, South South and North). Each chairman and secretary of all MFBS should be ready for Abuja second trip and there will be a day seminar with the Commercial BANK officials along with collection of other documents.
    Banks approve by SEM are Zenith, union, first and Fidelity bank’s for disbursement and its has also been confirmed that money is with the Commercial Banks right now and they’re through with the printings of cheques and other documents.

    Goodnight and God bless you

    All chairman and secretary are the ones to provide the following documents
    1. Either NEPA or water corporations bill
    2. National ID / Voter card
    3. Four passport
    4. Get ready for Abuja trip

    All information is. ? Verified

    Your proposal should be just a page please and have 80% knowledge about the business plans… Each directors of the new MFBS will decide when your project is viable or not

  649. Bethany national coordinator with his team came to osogbo yesterday to hold a seminar for all MFB under bethany and the outcome of the meeting is that all bethany directors in osogbo are to come to ibadan (national headquarter of bethany) on wed 8/8/18 to verify their cheques. they also said the banks attached to them are busy this week printing their cheques,

  650. Deking! i like your say “LEARN TO TAKE SOME SMALL RISK” even the African richest man toke risk to reach where he is today
    so what we need to do is to pray and have hope that it comes to reality

  651. @Grace. This is not small money most of this coordinator are collecting from their various MFB…..THEY ARE USING EVERY AVAILABLE SCHEME TO GET MONEY. This money is running into millions.

    Like our own coordinator collected #15,000 each from all directors in each MFB. This apart from the huge money they collected from registering our MFB.

    Even he forced us to sign another different MOU with him. So many fraudulent means of dwindling pple.

    May God help us and help Donald to put things in better position. Let him deal directly with the Chairmen/secretaries of the MFB. I think that will be better for us all
