Welcome to Jumoby.ng – the place where people in pursuit of success come to get actionable insights, life hacks, and life-changing opportunities.
First thing first … congratulations. We made it. Happy New Year to You. May all the good tidings in the year 2023 be ours.
Talking about good tidings …
Tony Elumelu is starting the year with some really good tidings … $5000 USD kind of tidings. Incase you still don’t understand what I’m saying, that’s about N2.7Million free money good tidings (GRANT) to help you kickstart your idea or grow your small business bigger.

Ofcourse not free free… there are processes you must go through to access the $5000 offer from TEF. I should know better, I got the grant for myself/business few years back.
Lets do small throw-back …


The experience was worthwhile … meeting amazing minds like I met Omoni Oboli at the forum whom ofcourse I invited to my Movie Premiere.

Beyond the networking, accessing the Funding was life-changing. I mean, if you are a salary earner or a struggling entrepreneur, calculate how many months it will take you to save up N2million cash to boost your business or kickstart your idea.
No doubt … you can pull it together in bits, but accessing it in bulk is just so soothing. Plus it’s free money, not a loan. No repayment, no pressure.
I became a Tony Elumelu Foundation Alumni a few years ago after applying and successfully went through the training and forum and then finally got my seed funding of $5000 which helped me secure my farmland. And between then and now, I have assisted over 70 budding entrepreneurs through my guide and professional support to successfully apply and join the TEF Alumni network.
That is a thing of joy that gladdens my heart.
So, as opposed to some comments on social media about TEF programme not been real with their selection. I’m here to tell you that the programme is valid and the selection process is legit. I’m a proof incase you need one.

This particular writeup is to help you apply successfully for the 2022 TEF application and get your own chance of accessing a life-changing opportunity of $5000 which is non-refundable (free money), impactful training, and a million-dollar worth of networks.
And you really need this guide because … 2021 application and selection process got some serious twists to it. Twist that surprised me and disqualified quite alot of my direct circle whom I guided on the application process.
Before I proceed, you should join my email list for constant updates and support on global opportunities which I share with my Inner Circle from time to time;

HOW TO APPLY AND WIN THE TONY ELUMELU FOUNDATION 2022 $5000 GRANT
Starting with 2021 gist… alot of people were disqualified off-guard. I mean despite doing all that was requested “criteria wise” by the TEF Team.
My personal observation is this; whether true or false.
Registration for TEF grant reached an all-new level high in 2021 with hundreds of thousands of applicants with 2020 applicants merged with 2021. And selection as well went up to 5000 (highest selection in 10 years).
However, do the ratio … 5000 selection from almost 200thousand applicants. That’s alot … compare to my selection time, we recorded about 58,000 applicants which was alot too then…
So, I presume TEF team had to improvise at some point by selecting people who submitted a more detailed business plan despite requesting for just a 4/5page business plan. So, those who submitted more pages with more information had better chances than those who submitted that exact summarized 4 pages requested.
Not so good. But it is what it is. No body will admit that anyway, but after chatting with few of those selected … I see why.

Let me start my hints with; Females have upper hands at getting in.
Wait don’t quote me wrong … I’m a guy and was selected. So, Males have chances too … alot. But for the fact that more males have been accessing the grants than females, there is now more focus on getting more females access to the funds.
Plus 95% of TEF Team are females … yeah I know. Being to their office before during Mr Tony’s birthday. Pretty ladies at that. So, you know the rest.
My advice; as a male … apply for yourself. But don’t stop there, apply for your wife, sister, mother, girlfriend, side-chicks … etc. You never can tell.

Now, for you the new applicants. Vital points to note.
5 Top Reasons Why You Will Not Win Tony Elumelu $5000 Grant
As a Fellow/Entrepreneur of The Tony Elumelu Foundation.
Here is my candid advice on why people fail with their application processes and never get to win the $5000 grant. Please, note and keep the following information handy. It will help you a great deal. I sincerely want to here your success story on your selection too.
Reason 1: LATE SUBMISSION
Now, I have personally discovered that when the portal opens for registration. Alot of people rush in and starts the registration process but just the first, and second page. They save and promise to continue later but eventually come back two days to the deadline.
Don’t do that, please. The Grant is becoming more competitive. Applicants increase in number yearly. So, this year will not be different.
My advice… be among the set that registers and submit within the first week of the portal opening. That won’t guarantee your selection, but gives you an edge over latecomers, most especially when you have a killer idea and well-packaged business plan.
Reason 2: UNREALISTIC FINANCIALS
If you are already in business – that is your idea is a year or two old already. Then, you must be able to articulate accurate figures of what you are selling, including your cost of operation, selling price, profit margin and all other vital information.
And if you are at the idea stage. Your financial assumptions must make sense – reasonable projections not building
Reason 3: LACK OF IMPACT MEASUREMENT
Tony Elumelu Foundation is not an investment company who want to share profit with you. And so, they are concern about your impact dimension. How many lives will you touch – and how are you touching them. So, be clear to explain your impact metrics. How many people will you impact directly and indirectly. Add the numbers, they matter. You will have better chances if you impact 100 people and above.
Reason 4: DISCONNECTED STORY
Story
Reason 5: ZERO VALUE PROPOSITION
This is big and that is why is last on my list. If your value proposition is weak or fake. Forget winning the grant. If what your idea or business is offering is what 2000 other persons are offering then no point – just go and work for the other guys …
So, you have to bring something unique to the table. Alot of people can be running a catfish farm – what’s different about yours? The difference is the key to a successful application.
SO, FIND IT.
And my bonus ….. infuse technology into your idea and or business no matter what it is. The selection committee cares about tech-inclusiveness in your idea. So don’t ignore it. Be it a website, mobile application, whatever software. Just add it.
PS: I OFFER A PROFESSIONAL GUIDE FOR THE APPLICATION PROCESS AS WELL AS A DETAILED BASIC OR STANDARD BUSINESS PLAN AS YOU MAY NEED. DO SEND ME A DM IF INTERESTED IN ANY OF THE SERVICES MENTIONED ABOVE.
